You make a good point ElfGeneral. I must have been thinking of the old profile or models with 1 fate only and lots of troops (and therefore needing the extra points to make things balanced).
It does basically force you into an all hero army though, which im not too sure about. I cant seem to make a list that I like with it that uses troops as well. Maybe 1, Galadriel, 8 Galadhrim Guard, 6 High elves with shield, 1 with banner, Elladan & Elrohir - very dependent on terrain, but might do ok. 500 pts.
Now that I have said all that, I remember what I was going to say in the first place, that Galadriel's ring should do something other than give fate? Gandalf and Elrond get into combat a lot, so I can understand giving it to them, but surely there is something better for Galadriel than just giving her 6 fate each turn.
Yeah, agree completely all true, it not for every situation scenarios where you have to move a lot it's pointless but it's really helpful in others. In a White Council list or any other all hero list it really comes into it's own. It's particularly nasty in those lists because of models like Erestor who has 3 will but is cheap he suddenly becomes really nasty with his to wound re-rolls.
I also really agree with her ring, I understand the three rings doing the same thing from a lore perspective and I always think that it + the mirror is like giving Galadriel heavy armour and your army fate regen for just over 20pts which isn't bad but I'd prefer it do something different. Maybe say it lets her cast one channelled spell a turn without expending a point of might, she has the same basic stats as the three wizards but they all have more spells and specialise in something and she's not that many points less than them so it would make her more unique.
All that being said you have to remember Galadriels war aspect that is really helped by being able to re-roll fate rolls given she can't take her mirror and is only D4
