There is A tournament I am hoping to go to and I cannot for the life of me think up a good list for it!

It's 500 points and I can field an isenguard list, a galahadrim list a dol amroth list or a mixture between the two good armies.
For isenguard I was thinkin maybe:

Captain
Xbows or beserkers, unsure of how many
Maybe troll?
Shaman
5 uruks with shields, 5 with pikes
Troll

For galahadrim maybe:

Rumíl
4 glhdrm with bows, 4 with shields and spears, 4 with blades and shields
Stormcaller
4 with bow, 4 with spears shields and 4 with blades and shields
Captain
3 sentinels

And for dol amroth, no idea. Apart from Imrahil and a bunch of knights.

As you can see, I clearly need help, has anyone any tips or comments they can give me? Sorry if its a bit vague buy I haven't goty books with me

Thanks,
SoL

Of those lists, I think I'd probably go with Dol Amroth. While the Knights are very expensive, each one hits like a hammer and they work great with Imrahil. I'd suggest adding some Gondorians if you can get hold of some, for some cheaper troops. A Gondor shield wall with KODA charging round the flanks is a nasty thing to charge or be charged by.

For the Elves, you'd be looking probably at a bow line, with the archers shooting from behind a shield wall (if you deploy the swords spears with a spacing of about 15mm, the archers can still shoot through but the control zones of the front rank prevent them being charged.) Just watch out your battle line being overlapped, try and get something with good defence on the flanks. Maybe consider some Knights of DA as counter-attacking allies to add some high-D presence.

Hey there. For isengard you definitely want to get in some crossbows, those things are pretty deadly. I don't know much about beserkers so I can't really comment on them too much. Have you considered uruk scouts? They are cheaper and still decent foot-soldiers so you could get more troops on the field.

As for dol amroth I'd agree with getting some cheaper gondorians because otherwise your going to end up with an expensive small army, which might get outnumbered.
