2500 points on the dime. any suggestions?

I assume you know about the recent changes in amry organnization? However I do not play WOTR, but I will still provide feedback since I assume Easterlings are quite similar anyhow.

First your heros, they are all solid. However, I would give your Nazgul a armourd fellbeast and Amdur a armourd horse. The rest of your list looks solid, but no shield & pikes? Yoiu can use both without any penalties so I would max it out.

You should know what Easterlings Cohorts have shields already in their wargear, so they will already have shields if they get pikes as well. Another rule of thumb with WOTR, if a Epic Hero enters or is part of a unit on horseback they automatically are on a horse (the rulebook puts it under the ideal of a horse nearby for conveince sake). Also, I'm keeping Khamul of a fell beast for his special ruling he gives units: If his unit would suffer a causuallity, roll a d6. On the roll of a 5 or 6, that casuallity is negated or deflected to a unit 12" away (roll for casuallities and divide in half to be deflected to another unit).

Ah I see, in my sourcebook for the fallen realms it is listed as an upgrade. But thanks for enligthening me, and that sounds smart

Yep. Also, from this army I'll be using the models for LOTR.
