First, why were Azog, Bolg, the Gundabad Orcs and Berserkers included in the Misty Mountains lists while you have the Gundabad ogres and bats in the Angmar lists? Shouldn't these all be in one list or the other? Since Angmar was destroyed way before the event in LOTR, I would think they should all be in the Misty Mountains list.
They are all part of the Misty Mountains faction, there is a box in page 215 that explains that. We have included those into Angmar aswell because the faction was too weak with very few formations to choose from. We did not "duplicate" those profiles to save space.
Reconciling the appendices of the book, the hobbit trilogy and the balancing the various factions was indeed problematic. It is said that Angmar border extended to the valley of the upper Anduin, so it is not hard to immagine that mount Gundabad was under the Witch King jurisdiction. Otherwise, they may represent the trolls that fought for the Witch King coming from the mountains or from the region known as "the trollshaws".
Keep in mind that the original book from Games Workshop didn' t bother too much with the lore, in fact you can ally or deploy whatever character you like, with whatever faction you want, even if they are from different eras. For example you can deploy aragorn alongside his ancestor Arvedui without any problem. In the end we chose to remain as faithful as possible to the setting given by GW.

Second, forgive me if I did not see them, but I did not see any stats for a few models, such as Anborn and Mablung, and Rosie Cotton and Gamgee. Are these going to be added?
We have created almost every profile present in the SBG, but many were discarded during the process to keep the game simple. Minor characters like those quoted (and many others) were not included in the final draft, if you have those models just use them as captains.
