The bow limit is per faction, so Minas Tirith and The Fiefdoms would be separate.
I must say I love your sig, SMORG.

Just a few points: -First, 34 units is far too small for a 750pt army. -Second, you don't have any equipment listed for the King or for Imrahil -Third, you're over the bow limit by 1 (16 warriors from the Minas Tirith list and 9 bows) I'd drop one Warband and try to fill the other ones. A Wizard is a big point sink, so you need to have a reason to play him. Gandalf the Grey is more themed and straight better, although he costs more points. |

I count 11 bow armed in an army of 34, so I think your ok, iirc bow armed is for the whole list including allies. I agree with Lord Hurin that radagast can be a huge points sink, think of how many more knights you could get for that. If your using him to try and dismount riders thats ok, but not as effective as you'd think. Taking people like Imrahil off a horse is a big boost (no more lance, can't keep up) but most characters will just loose a smidge of mobility and, at tourney's especially, will not be that far out of place anyway. Overall though I can see what you're trying to do. I think your model count is ok, I normally field about 20 in 750 pts so you'll be fine for numbers. the thing to remember is that spears are good supporting but their fight doesn't count, so its probably better to give all your GotFC shields instead of your WoMT. Also, use firing from the second rank to your favor. Rangers can take spears so you could use them to support the guard and still get their shots right up close. |

Fair enough, do hero's still count? |

25/3=8.33333333 which rounds up to 9, so you can have 16 non bows with 9 bows. |

first of all: thanks for the tips Lord Hurin and SMORG. I have made a mistake, my Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth has a horse and lance. The reason that I've puted the Wizard is because I'm afraid the other army has lots of monsters... and an immobilise can make the diference, and I'm not even mentioning the other powers. |
