A theme most excellent, though it seems to be lacking in the heavy-hitting department (unless you have the trolls in there under their respective divisions of warriors). Though, going by the magical backup you might not actually need them too much.

I am still working on the list, it will need more pts before it is ready for play. I am as yet unsure about monsters as I have plenty of magic, and I have a Warg Chieftain and 5 Warg Marauders as well.

Mmm. The warg chieftain is quite effective in what he does. It may be of greater benefit add a second warg chieftain than a cave troll, actually, seeing as one can hide a warg anywhere, but the cave troll is unable to hide behind the goblins. Orcs, yes. Goblins, no. Unfortunately.

That might be a good idea, I too think they are pretty decent, and since the SQ's point increase, worth it, and it is a very cool sculpt. That Troll thing, I was thinking about that, Cave Trolls look odd next to Goblins at their height, though as it happens Cave Trolls are still part of Angmar, so I could put them with Orcs, but I'm leaning towards Warg Cheiftains anyway, I tend to prefer heroes.

Their main disadvantage is their fight value, but even that is easily overcome. And against regular warriors it usually isn't a problem.

No problem against a transfixed enemy. Hmm their Fight is low, but I don't think it's too worrying. Not unless there's a quantity of Guards of the Galadrim Court around and the casters are otherwise occupied. Any other wise words of wisdom?

EDIT: I'll post this list in Army help when able, as I'm torn between 2 or 3 (or is it 4) choices for the final Warband.

The Spider Queen is very nessesary for Angmar slash Goblins.

That is one of the options, its either a 2nd Warg Chieftain or a Spider Queen or Buhrdur or a Shade or a Cave Drake. There is also some variation on the number of Warriors and the tyoe of Warriors depnding in eache hero's pts value and list.

Wtichking mounted on armoured horse, with crown and morgul blade... in my opinion is the best stand alone wraith.
But who uses one single wraith any more?
