So far, it sounds pretty interesting, but
do you have any links to it by any chance?
(I'd like to sample the reading and give you
feedback.)

That's a sufficient magnitude of forces, so I
don't really believe you'll need any more than
that. That's even more castle figs than I
have in my collection. (which is a result of
my rather limited budget. We'll leave it at
that, shall we? :)

Depending if you really need them, a whole load
of skeletons wouldn't make for the best force, so
It's good to see you're diversifying. As for
dobby, I'm not too sure you would want him with
the enemy...he's not exactly intimidating any
more than a timmy figure, so I would place him
with your allied forces. Removing the dobbys,
how many enemy forces do you possess? (around
sixty or so isn't bad at all. You'll see why
later.)
The best idea would be to create your own
creatures from tentacle and hinged pieces
until you have something totally unique.
This would prove well because you'd need
less of the custom enemies if one of them could
take on say four or five opponents. (which
saves you time throwing money at minifigures
and dragons.)

No need to take from Lotr. Instead of using
the standard 'cookie cutter' wraiths, why not
create your own 'breed' of enemies.

Summons are tight, no doubt about it. Yes, I
encourage you go for those mainly. (use a
leviathan variant for enemy generals. Bahamut
would also work very well. Adds to the
'intimidation' factor and that's something
you'll definitely want.) Valkyries and Odines
are particularly easy.
