Dropping both will only get you 50pts to work with. At most it's only going to be 5-7 elves and maybe a man or two more. I would say defiantly drop the banner with the knights and use those points to boost your numbers somewhere. You might be able to sneak in two more gondorian knights with a little tweaking.
About the banner on foot, it's up to you. You can drop it and get some more soldiers but most of your warbands are already full, so it may cause more trouble than it's worth. Plus having at least one banner is always good for certain scenarios and in a shieldwall.
I ended up dropping the knight's banner and added an extra minas tirith knight and a wood elf and some equipment here and there.
The banner wouldn't have helped so the extra numbers was better.
Lost the first game I faced an army of the dead, galadriel, multiple storm callers who never failed their natures wrath
, wood elf spears and ents combo = had no idea how to play it so deployed all wrong and took the entire game to get my [word deleted] together, only lost 13 models but I only killed 10 in Lords of Battle. Glorfindel with all his Will and Free Magic resistance never once resisted natures wrath successfully, but never lost a fight even when on the ground and surrounded haha.
Second game I had a faced a generic mordor list (trolls, witch king, gothmog and war leader shagrat with orc spam) I held it in the centre and then crushed it from behind with cavalry, I lost 12 models and killed 50+ in Domination, Glorfindel personally killed 10 orcs, the witchking and the troll chieftain. I took all but one objective so easy win in the end.
The third game shaped up to be interesting with an Isengard army with 16 beserkers forming the centre with a phalanax, scouts, crossbows and saruman generic however he took Gollum who was a pain in my side for most of the game!
Surprisingly the 10 high elves mananged to dispatch most of the 16 beserkers with only 2 of themselves dieing! Around the board each warband pitched in and successly took more kills than deaths. A special word for the few wood elves who held back 2+ beserkers each for multiple turns! This however was nothing compared to the spam being sent at a isolated and surrounded Glorfindel in the centre who each turn faced 3-10 enemies and never once lost a fight in the end killing 10 or so Uruks with most being beserkers. It pained my opponent to pile soldier after soldier into the meat grinder that was Glorfindel. In the end it was a rather convincing win with Isengard below 25% and myself at well above 50% in To the Death.
GLORFINDEL was a beast, never lost a fight, killed 5 Army of the Dead, 10 Orcs, The Witch King (full stats), a Troll Chieftain, 6+ Beserkers, 3+ Uruks.
It was a good experience especially when I somehow won the Best Painter/Display Award and came in the top 3 over all.
I learned to not forgot your stuff at home then have to drive back making you the last to arrive for the events is not a good habit
But also throwing daggers suck, Galadhrim Elves with shields and bows are a point sink compared to a regular wood elf with bow. And Galadhrim Guards and Rivendell Knights dish pain like no one else = get moreeeeee! Also deploying my terrifying, nature wrathing Thranduil with bowmen is damn stupid.
