For 200 points one could have one of the best shooters in the game or one of the better casters. WIth both of their special rules which one would you chose to ally in at say 1k and 1500 pts.

Depends on the army, but usually I'd get Gandalf, Legolas just isn't worth 200 points - you'd be much better off with having Haldir & Thranduil for level 2 Magic and 2 Epic Shots with 6 Might instead.

I played Gandalf recently in a formation with Gil-Galad. Absolutely brilliant. Gandalf cast blinding light on an attacking Balrog and Gil-Galad Heroic Duelled it. Killed it in two turns, or maybe three. Very quick though.

Giving advice keeps me in shape and builds a more competetive community, which leads to more interesting games. And I won 3 GTs already so I have my share and don't mind losing games as long as the opponent plays well ;)
