After playing LOTR for 9 years now this is the first list that I have made using the new books, and more specifically, the new army structure. As can be seen from the 'how big is your collection' thread, I have all of these models and plenty more so swapping things out isn't an issue. So, this is what I've gone with, not sure if it'll be any good though. Comments and Criticism most welcome, I also need to be able to shave 2 points somewhere but I can't decide where. Thanks for reading.

Warband 1: - 287

Durin

7 Iron Guard

2 Khazad Guard

Warband 2: - 175

Mardin

4 Vault Warden Teams

Warband 3: - 290

Murin and Drar

8 Dwarf Rangers w/ Bows

3 Dwarf Warriors w/ Shields

1 Dwarf Warrior w/ Banner

Total - 752

Now I haven't played lotr for years now (especially nit with the ne books) but the only thing is the Murin and Drar watband.
I have heard (may be wrong) that if you have a double hero one of them counts towards the warband limit, so you could only have 11 warriors instead of 12.
I can't give any advice or compliments on the list as I don't know anything about the game anymore.
Hope this army works though.

Dwarf heroes are some of the most expensive, albeit some of the best, going. Try swapping out 1 or 2 of the named heroes and for standard captains, shieldbearers (I think that's there names) or anything else to your fancy. This will give you a lot of free points to spend on more guys to bump that break limit up as atm it stands at 15 - this is much to small for 750 points.

Dwarfs struggle at getting a lot of guys on the table and taking multiple named heroes wont help this.

With the extra points I would take some more Kazard Dum guard as there body guard rule is pretty sweet. Otherwise just more standard warriors while keeping that bow limit to the max!

P.s sorry if that sounds harsh

Nah doesn't sound harsh at all. Pretty good advice. I'll drop Mardin and Murin and Drar then, so that I definately keep on the right side of warband size and save some points in the process, and pick up a Captain with Shield and a Shieldbearer, I've always liked the look of the Shieldbearer, and he might fit well with my teams of Vault Wardens, I'll also try to insert more Khazad Guard and some more Dwarf Rangers with bows.

Thanks for the advice.
