Hello everyone :)

What do think of this 500 pt army:

Glorfindel w/ Armour of Gondolin
4x High Elves w/ Elven Blade
4x High Elves w/ Elven Bow
4x High Elves w/ Spear & Shield

Erestor
High Elf Banner Bearer
3x High Elves w/ Elven Blade
4x High Elves w/ Elven Bow
4x High Elves w/ Spear & Shield

500 pts

I know Glorfindel is expensive but with his all 3 profile and high fight and defense he's a tank offensively. Erestor I like because of the Noldorin Daggers rule. The rest are standard. Swords with Spears and Archers firing as many as times as they can.

solid and nice, i like it :) altho without beeing rly sure an alternative would be dropping glorfindel and 1 elf to get both elladan/elrohir for the same points(with heavy armor included), you will still have the same model count and also almost double the stats of 1 hero, just a thought

I think both those heroes work well together, and you're right Glorfindel is expensive but he's quite good.
Normally my recommendation would be to drop the banner but the points wouldn't do anything for you without major changes to the army as a whole.
Maybe drop 2 shields from each warband and give2 archers in each warband spears instead so that they could support and you'd have more supported combats when the forces closed

Elladan and Elrohir is an option. Though I like more thematic lists so I would drop Erestor for Arwen. I have the option to add 4 more spear and shields so maybe I should replace some swords with those instead?

Almost the exact list I would pick except I would take Glorfindel on Asfaloth and take away two elven blades per warband, add two shields and spears in their place so you have a full line of 6 with spear support rather than 4.

Ok so I'm assuming you mean a front line of 4 archers and 2 swords supported by 6 spear ans shield.

Yes I am, It just means your less likely to get overwhelmed.

I have an almost exact copy of this list but I use elves with shield and hand weapon to use shielding om flanks and then elves with blade supported by elves with spears without shields. This Way my warband can Face a 6 man front warband on an equal line.
Have fun

My 500 pts force is vastly different. I tend to use Gil-Galad, Glorfindel/twins and then just get as many basic high elf warriors as I can and max out the bow limit. That being:

Gil-Galad, shield (Leader)
12 High Elf Warriors

Glorfindel, Lord of the West, Armour of Gondolin
1 High Elf Warrior
1 King's Guard
8 High Elf Warriors, Elf Bows

But sometimes I get the twins with armour and drop the king's guard, or swap the king's guard for Thrain the broken.
