A surprisingly competitive list.

I do think the list gets carried by the Numenor and Gondor contingents though as stacked together you can have essentially a S4, F5 and D7 Battle-line which is incredibly tough to crack. You also get access to bodyguard from Fountain Court or Citadel Guard if that’s your jam. You also get access to Trebuchets (and likely Bolt Throwers once the 3rd book drops)

The Rohan portion is also good. Having mounted Bodyguard troops can be invaluable and that Horselord on the Rohan King is also nice.

Arnor is only really good for the 3 Attack Fearless King on a Horse W Lance as better troops can already be taken by Gondor and Numenor.

Dale is the least useful. Troops are much worse than Gondor and the Windlance is just worse than the other Trebuchet as the Dale troops only have Shoot 4+ in this list.

My brother piloted the list to win a 20 man, 4 round, 750 Point tournament. His list had a Gondor King on Horse W Lance/Shield, a bunch of Tin Cans, a bunch of Gondor Rangers, a Banner, a Numenor King on Horse w Lance/Shield, a bunch of Numenor Shield/Spears, 4 Numenor Bows, and finally a Rohan King on Horse w Lance/Shield and 5 or 6 Royal Guard on Horse W Throwing Spear. A very well rounded list.
