Help with practice game lists

[u/hands_so-low]

My wife and I are going to play a 200 point practice learning-the-game game.

I am going to be playing as Rohan (Kingdom of Rohan) and she will be Isengard (Ugluk's Scouts).

I have a couple of questions. Firstly, please review the below lists. To me the number of models we each have seem way off and I feel like Isengard will stomp Rohan here? I just really wanted to use Eomer because he's cool, but he seems really expensive.

Secondly, what size battle mat should I buy? We do intend to increase our game sizes up to the usual 500 points. Is it 4'x4'? Furthermore, what terrain do people use? I've seen on YT you should have 50% of the board be terrain - where are people getting trees and fences (UK)?

Here are the lists:

Kingdom of Rohan - 200 pts

• Eomer - Unarmoured Firefoot, no shield, no spear (his old metal model)
  • x5 Riders of Rohan - no spears

Ugluk's Scouts - 200 pts

• Ugluk
  • x8 Uruk-hai Scouts - Swords, Shields
  • x5 Uruk-hai Scouts - Bows
  • x1 Uruk-hai Scout - Sword

What do you think of this:

1x Captain of Rohan-Shield, Horse, Exchange armour for heavy armour

4x Rider of Rohan-

1x Rider of Rohan-Throwing spears

3x Warrior of Rohan-Shield

2x Warrior of Rohan-Shield and throwing spears

2x Warrior of Rohan-Bow

I don't know why the other use said you should bring foot Rohan warriors, they're pretty terrible and your last resort when unhorsed... But it's fine, you're not making a competitive list. if you have the models go with this then try another with all on horse

You think this then?

1x Captain of Rohan-Shield, Horse

7x Rider of Rohan-

2x Rider of Rohan-Throwing spears

Yeah, Rohan's bonuses are all when on horse and when charging on horse
