Need some comments here on what you guys think...

Rivendell 500pts

Warband 1
Elrond with heavy armour and horse
3 Knights of Rivendell with shield

Warband 2
Gildor Inglorion
5 Noldorin exiles with elven bow

Warband 3
High elf Stormcaller
4x High elves with spear and shield
2x High elves with shield and hand weapon

total: 500pts
might: 5
models: 17


High Elves 750pts

Warband 1
Glorfindel, lord of the west with armour and asfaloth
4 High elves with shield
4 high elves with shield and spear
4 high elves with elven bow

Warband 2
Arwen on horse
4 high elves with shield and spear
4 high elves with elven bow

Warband 3
Lindir with heavy armour and horse
3 Rivendell knights

Warband 4
Elladan and elrohir on horse with heavy armour

total: 750pts
models: 28
might: 11

Got a bit relutant on this last list.... I know its got a big potencial on elven heroes, but been considering the worth again of a storm caller to renew some of the elven heroes will... mainly arwen for some nature´s wrath...

For the 500pts I would swap out Elronds warband for a cpt with 5 knights (maybe 6? I'm not sure how many points you'd have).

Anyway, once you have the cpt+knights I would use the rest of your points for more infantry.
Also, you'll have to do this because you're bow limit is not legal.

750
First off, you're bow limit is not legal here as well. So some re-working is nessesary.
Consider dropping the twins in favour of more troops, and maybe swapping some of the heros for stronger ones.

I would be tempted to drop the twins, swap Elrond for Arwen and fill out that warband. Then use the rest of you're pts for more knights.

Gil-Galad, shield
11 High Elf Warriors

Elladan and Elrohir, heavy armour
10 High Elf Warriors

Glorfindel, AoG, Asfaloth
10 High Elf Warriors, Elf Bows
Then you have 6 pets left to do what ever you see fit. For 500 pts, ditch either the twins warband or Glorfindels warband and rearrange the troops but always keep Gil-Galad. For 1000pts, add a captain of rohan with horse shield and ha and 12 Ror to be the skirmishing and rear-charging contingent in your force.

Any questions, just ask.

Thanks,
LordElrond

well seems very interesting force although I would prefer keep currently 3rd age rivendell army hence my choices :P
As for to 1000pts adding Rohan goes against all the themed force I wanted to get though

But if you were going for a competitive force, mine is better as it has better heroes, better troops and only 1 less bow, apart from 1000pts where you have loads more if you take rohan.
You could take the Grey Company instead of Rohan if you wanted to give you more shots, but rohan always seem to outshoot the grey company if they are against each other even if the grey company have more bows, just because the RoR have +1 D and are twice as hard to kill from s2 (most bow-fire).

If I was going competitive I would pick elrond for 1000pts.. I would go for gandalf on horse or galadriel, cast blinding light now I wanna see your shooting prowess ... you come closer for the fight, very high chances for the entire enemy block getting pinned by arwen nature´s wrath or elrond himself(if I can afford both heroes)

You're 750pts army list is still over the legal bow limit. Heroes do not count towards bow limit. You have 20 infantry and 8 of them have bows, 8/20 = 0.4 or 40% bows. If you want to have 20 infantry the highest number of bows you could have would be 7.

So swap one of the archers in Arwens warband for a high elf with spear/shield and you are good to go.
