Would pure (or at least mainly) army of the dead setup be possible?
Might not be extremely competative but just seems like fun having a great horde of ghost warriors and cavalry on the board.

There's only 1 Hero for them, so with Warbands you couldn't do too much. Adding them into a force containing Aragorn or some Fiefdoms would be cool though.

There not exactly about ur topic but they are about the army of the dead so you might find them a bit useful? idk..

A nice army would be Warriors of the Dead and Rangers. The Rangers provide spear support and archery, and it's very thematic. Something like this:

King of the Dead
11 Warriors of the Dead

Halbarad
12 Rangers with spears
3 Rangers of the North

I think that's 500pts, or at least pretty close.

Give the Warriors of the Dead shields with what spare points you have.

AotD do have spears too now, but I wouldn't put a modle that costly in support unless absolutely necessary.

King of The Dead
11x Warriors of the Dead with Shield

Halbarad
9x Rangers of Arnor with spears
3x Rangers of the North with spears

Right on 500pts.

Recently I played a game against Army of the Dead, Rangers of Gondor and Warriors of Minas Tirith. Of the 3, Army of the Dead was a pain to destroy -- with shield a defence of 7 or 8! Although the "Hold Ground" game ended in a draw, it was not enjoyable at all.
