In tournaments we're restricted to units that GW produces, but do you agree on using custom units in private matches? Like a dwarven spearman, a Haradrim with heavy armor, or a custom hero. Here are some of my favorites to use(made using http://membres.multimania.fr/l01c/lotrcostcalc.html)in no particular order.

Elven Blademasters(The Elves who have fought Orcs for millennium).
Elf
F S D A W C
6/3+ 3 6 2 1 6
Elven Blade, Heavy Armor, Throwing Knives
Lineage of the Firstborn, Elven Cloak
20 points(I rounded up, given that Elven Cloak and LotF are a pretty potent combo).

Elf Lords(the elves like Glorfindel powerful enough to challenge Ringwraiths, mentioned in the Fellowship of the Ring).
Elf
F S D A W C M W F
7 4 6 3 3 7 3 3 2
Elven Blade, Heavy Armor
Lineage of the Firstborn, Resistant to Magic.
115 points

King Valenthar the Dragonslayer of Gondor(2nd Age)(He got his Blade of Gondolin and Mithril Armor from the Dragon's Hoard).
Man
F S D A W C M W F
7 4 8 3 3 6 6 2 3
Blade of Gondolin(Sting), Shield, Mithril Armor
Palantir
150 points.

The Revenge of Arnor(My concept is that some of the Dunedein did not just hunt Orcs in the North, they challenged them in direct battle as well).
Man
F S D A W C M W F
Avenger of Arnor:4/4+ 4 5 1 1 4
Avenger Captain:5/4+ 5 6 2 2 5 2 1 1
Sword, Heavy Armor(can buy shield, spear, or bow).
Must be in their own warband.
10/60 points

I like good armies
Edit:The unit stats came out really weird. They're in order, fight strength defense etc, they just don't match up with their labels.
