Ok, this is my force made up of elves...

Theme: What If?

What if, as the Council of Elrond gathered in Rivendell, the Witch-King sent a portion of his forces of Angmar to intercept and slay the approaching leaders? What if Legolas were to stumble (graciously, as he is an elf:P) into the Witch-King's trap? Would Glorfindel and his Elven Company be able to reach Legolas in time to save the young Prince and help seal the fate of the whole of Middle Earth?

Army:

Glorfindel, Lord of the West w/ Asfaloth
20x High Elves Warriors w/ Heavy Armour, Spear, Shield
10x High Elf Warriors w/ Elf Bow, Spear

Legolas w/ Armour, Elven Cloak
18x Wood Elf Warriors w/ Wood Elf Spear
9x Wood Elf Warriors w/ Elf Bow, Wood Elf Spear

Points: 799
Warriors: 59
Bows: (10/30),(9/29) + Legolas
Might: 6
Will: 5*
Fate: 6

Deployment:

The High Elves with Spear and Shield will form the front rank of the Shieldwall, while the Wood Elves with WE Spear will form the second rank to support the High Elves. They will be lead by Glorfindel mainly. The remaining Elves will form a seperate Scouting group with Legolas leading them. The Wood Elves will be at the front of this as they have WE Spears and so can shield... The High Elves with bow will back them up, wih Legolas in their line to provide Heroic Shots and Moves. I intend to have the Archers crash into the flank of the enemy battleline (as I outnumber most armies slightly) and surround a portion of his/her force. Then I will lead Glorfindel to the opposite flank and start ripping up those poor warriors. The Fight 5 of my warriors should keep me a touch above and give me the edge. This, (I hope) in combination with the flanking moves will bring the enemy to its knees and hopefully break him swiftly.

I look froward to your Comments and Criticisms!

it's very fluffy but if it is a "rescue" then shouldn't Glorfindel's forces be mounted? You could use a modified profile of the Galadhrim kngihts.
Revome the Woodland creature for the horses and the 12" movement but instead have heavy armour on the riders and have options for bow, Shield or Elven Lance (Counts as a lance on horse back and a spear on foot)

I would but I am playing a 100% LoME legal list against my friend... He's fielding Haradrim with The Shadowlord and The Betrayer (both on Horse) He does, however have only one other hero and that's a Haradrim Taskmaster so he has no fighters and so I can capitalise on that by using high will heroes... Glorfindel in particular should be able to survive a heavy magic storm for atleast one turn as he has his armour. I am slightly more worried about Legolas though, but i hope to put him to good use before he can get anywhere near my lines! He does have slightly superior numbers (at 61 models) but as i said, I hope my higher fight and front line defense can win the day!

legolas is a ranged fighter so they shoudln't get too close....however Shadow will couse problems and i asume most of his army is horse back. If not then you should worry too much. It is a rare day when a Nazgul will charge on in on his own.
I must inform you that the legolas protion is illigal if it's a 100% legal army as everyone counts. This means you have a total of 10 bows for 28 warriors(Icluding legolas)

Oh dear! Having Legolas included in the bow limit as a problem!

Um... I will transfer one Wood Elf w/ Elf Bow and Wood Elf Spear to the Rivendell Contingent, changing it to a High Elf w/ Elf Bow and a Spear.

My opponent does have some cavalry in his army. He has 8x Serpent Riders. He is going to lead them with The Betrayer (Poisoned Weapons). I am guessing that the Shadowlord (along with the Taskmaster) will lead the remaining forces.

He says that he would also like to try out another list which contains:

Amdur
Dark Marshal w/ Horse
Easterling War Priest
Dalamyr
Dragon Knight (I believe)
20x Easterlings w/ Shields
20x Easterlings w/ Spear, Shield
8x Corsair Reavers

I am less concerned with this list as it has no cavalry or archery protection. However, I want to be vary weary with his heroes. He has five and he knows how to use them well.

well unless he moves the Shadow with the cavarly you'll kill them in seconds. You could add in a Mirkwood Sential and give him a named profile like Elrosse(My name in Elvish) to show that he is Legolas's Elite guard. This could solkve your bow problem by removing 2 wood elf bows and adding a Sentiel as his "Songs" could help counter some of there abiltys. He can cause terror for 1 turn making most evil men unable to touch him (and with 2 attacks and fight value of 5 he's probbaly going to win too), He can dirupt the enemy formtaion luring there powerful riders away from the Beytrayer and ready to get raped by elves or make Legolas or Glorifendel even more powerful by making them immune to courage tests for 1 turn or maybe him self to take on the nazgul hif he need too. He's a good sorce of alternate magic too.)And it's free to cast )

I see what you are saying about using a Wood Elf Sentinel. Certainly their abilities are many, but I just think that he is too fragile for his points value. I already dont like using unarmoured elves because of their relatively high cost. I just dont think they are worth it.

tho unarmoured he does have an elven clock to proctet him also cavalary can't charge him unless he's within 6" whihc means he will almost always get to charge them first. Also he's got 2 attacks so he's rather powerful in combat. But as you said he's fragile with most men needing a 4 to kill him and with only 1 wound he can be difficult to use.

You're fine on bow limit in your origional list as Legolas does not count toward it at all. 10/30 bows from Rivendell and 9/18 from Thranduils Halls - Glorfindel and Legolas are both Heroes and so do not count toward it.

On the case of Sentinels, yes they can be fragile but its all in the way you use them. Although they have low defence, they also have good combat stats which should keep them alive if they end up fighting (although for the mopst part you should be trying to keep them out of it) - the real threat is from bowfire. Making use of the elven cloak will help here but is little defence against a big volley. Obviously, if they connot be seen they cannot be volleyed at - but their comrades can be and so long as they are within 6" of a visible target they are at risk. If you want to use them you will need to think very carefully about how you deploy and move them in relation to your other forces to avoid loosing them before they can be used.

Usually I'd condone the use of Sentinels as they're one of my afvourit units, however, as your opponent is Harad - a horde army with average courage - you may find the Sentinel's abilities wasted against them and the points spent better on more models .

i'm sure that heros count to the bow limit as it would be 33% of the entire army. However i tryed looking in the rule book and couldn't even find the 33% bow limit rule (I suck i know). But i still quite sure on that but can someone double cheak and give the quote(And maybe page number)
