Thanks guys for all the suggestions and advice. From this I think I've at last figured out a respectable mordor-trashing army!!!
Saruman
Faramir
4 x Grey Company (for strike priority)
3 x AOMT
4 x WOMT
4 x WOMT
4 x WOMT
2 x Minas Tirith Knights (with shields) - Flanking attacks
2 x Minas Tirith Knights (with shields) - Flanking attacks

Total 10 might
:D

you could swap one formation of WOMT for Axemen if possible.

Glad to be of service: let us know how it works out and you can always convert spears to halberds and add beards/chainmail (maybe remove shields) or simply get a few at a time until you have enough Axemen to make the switch.

EDIT: May be allowed to proxy them for a game or two to test them out as well.

Sadly, getting the shields off isn't possible due to the sculpt - you'd have to then re-sculpt what was underneath do to the lack of detail. Even filing down the helmet and shield detail (fiefdoms troops seem to retain the breastplate detail) gets old for 32-40 odd figs. That, the converted pole-arms and a different paintscheme is enough, in my opinion.

When I did mine, there weren't useable historical plastics and if I did it now I'd probably use something like what the Perrys have out with weapons from the likes of Gripping Beast.
