So far the total is 1665 points. Im thinking of running some wild wargs, or taking some warg riders as allies for some cav. Also Ill probally add some easterlings to the mix too. Just looking for some tips and hints.

Adding wargs is a good idea, as your army is small and will tend to be enveloped by any force that isn't ent heavy elves. Some wargs are good so you can add a supporting charge in the flank of a unit when you charge your monsters in.

You might also want to upgrade some both of your shield goblin units to Blackshields. The extra strength and Defense are handy, as is the AE. To bump up your army to 2000 I would run it as:

Epic:
-Durburz (70)
- Druzhag (100) - Use this guy to Entangle and Guide Arrows. These are the two best spells in Wilderness IMO.

Legendary:
- Burdhur (125)

Common:

-Goblin Archers (2) - 40
-Goblin Archers (2) - 40 (Cast Guide Arrows on.)
-Wild Wargs (3) - 60 - Chieftain (+50) - Outflank and Attack.
-Wild Wargs (3) - 60 - Chieftain (+50) - Outflank and Attack.

Rare:
- Dragon - 400 - Upgrade to Spellcaster (+75) - Spell caster on a dragon is a must, Bolt of Fire and Shatter Shields are your friend.
- Balrog - 500 - Another M3 spellcaster, perfect!
- Blackshields (4) - Captain, Drum - 205
- Blackshields (4) - Drum - 155

Fate: Balefire Arrows - 25
Total: 1955, yes you have 45 points left, dont spend it all at once!

Thanks for the advice Ill take it into consideration.

Elves with Dwarves and great eagle allies. a company of 2 ballista. lots of high elves Gil-galand
Gondor with one unit of Vault wardens for allies. 2 avenger bolt throwers lots of archers. Knight heavy with Aragon, Gandalf the grey and faramir. tons of foot sloggers
Rohan with Dwarve allies. Lots of cav and heavy dwarve infantry.
Elves with great eagle and rohan allies.. Mostly Galdrim with some cav and all rohan cav with theodan and the kings royal guard.
Isengard or Morodor with allies comeing from either army.
