Thanks for the input, Dikey.
Guess we will never know when it comes to the Nazgul, but for now, they are not looked upon as named, and they were present during the battle.
I do like the idea of Durin's Folk, as they were represented in the battle!
Problem is that my friend does not have any Dwarves, so he would have to borrow mine
Not sure how many, but perhaps in the range of about 200 points, seeing as the main army was comprised of Elves and Men.
Although the scenario does focus on the main part of the huge battle, were surely the Dwarves would be most needed...
I also thought about the option to include
Glorfindel to the Good force.
He would be a good counter to the Nazgul, as well as being a great fighter.
It seems like he did return to Middle-Earth during the Second Age, in order to serve Gil-Galad and Elrond.
I think it is highly likely that he would be present at the Battle of Dagorlad.
There are some interesting notes on the subject, taken from
The Peoples of Middle-Earth: The History of Middle-Earth, Vol. 12:
Quote:
...We may then best suppose that Glorfindel returned during the Second Age, before the ’shadow’ fell on Numenor, and while the Numenoreans were welcomed by the Eldar as powerful allies. His return must have been for the purpose of strengthening Gil-galad and Elrond, when the growing evil of the intentions of Sauron were at last perceived by them. It might, therefore, have been as early as Second Age 1200, when Sauron in person came to Lindon, and attempted to deceive Gil-galad, but was rejected and dismissed. But it may have been, perhaps more probably, as late as c.1600, the Year of Dread, when barad-Dur was completed and the One Ring forged, and Celebrimbor at last became aware of the trap into which he had fallen...
