Hey Guys,
I am entering a friendly tourney of WOTR.
The points limit is 1000pts, and I wondered about any improvements I could make to my rohirrim list, I used it a couple of times and isn't bad so far.
Thanks.

Theoden. 125pts
Deorwine 50pts

5x Companies of Riders of Rohan. Banner, Hornblower. 200pts
5x Companies of Riders of Rohan. Banner. 185pts
3x Companies of Oathsworn Bowmen 60pts
3x Companies of Oathsworn Bowmen 60pts
2xCompanies of Outriders 70pts

Allies ; Glorfindel, Lord of the West. 250pts.
Total: 1000pts.

My main concern is Glorfindel, Would it be worth it to swap him for more riders?

Drop the hornblower, all of the oathsworn bowmen, deorwine and glorfindel.

Replace with 2 more companies of riders of rohan, oathsworn militia, eomer, and if you really want a flying monster get Gawihir. Otherwise 8 more compaines of riders of rohan.

I havn't seen Gwaihir's stats, how good is he?
I'm not a fan of the milita, mostly as they die as easy as the archers, but cant dish out the pain from far off, the main focus is to kill enemy monsters, that my cavalry can't.
I understand droping Glorfindel the riders would be worth it, but Deorwine very good for 50pts, and the Eomer isn't really amazing compared to other characters. Theodred for example is the same price, but with better defence and gives more might to my army.

Well, then I guess you have your answer then
