I have a question background wise about dol guldur and the necromancer. I know he was banished by the white council, but there is a picture in the free peoples book showing galadrim elves fighting the necromancer. Did this happen in the books? and if so, what would make sense for the 2 armies to be composed of (characters models, ect.)? Any help would be appreciated

Sauron(or "the Necromancer" as he was referred to) did inhabit Dul Guldur prior to the War of the Ring. The is alluded to in The Hobbit and IIRC, in the appendices of the Lord of the Rings. It seems perfectly reasonable that when the White Council drove Sauron out, they were backed up by troops from Lothlorien and Mirkwood. I also wouldn't rule out Noldorin from Rivendell.

The Galadhrim likely have aided Mirkwood and the White Council in casting Sauron out of Dol Guldor.

Galadriel was a leading member of the White Council. The armoured Wood Elves (Haldir's Elves or Galadhrim) were previously exclusive to the Lorien army.

The White Council in the Free Peoples book has all the named characters you'll need, though I would leave Arwen out (for obvious reasons) and use Galadriel the mage rather than Galadriel the warrior. 3 attacks is a lot less attractive when you only have 3 str and 4 def.
