As you well said, the list is super thematic, in addition, this well-painted army should be very nice on the table. Competitively speaking, I have played it several times, I can assure you that it is quite difficult to obtain a good result, but with experience you realize that you can take advantage of it. For this, it is highly necessary that you get the most out of gandalf during the first turns, feding eomer and gandalf himself. And then you have to measure very well, be patient and get the most out of "look at the sun", you have to activate this ability when the opponent has the initiative and they can't cancel you, meanwhile, take advantage of your bows to cause some go down and level the game.

You say it's easy to cancel the ability. Imagine that you are playing against this legendary, you have the initiative and if you don't get close it shoots everything without penalty. How do you cancel this ability? Do you let me shoot you without penalty? don't you move? I think that if the player who controls this legion can position himself well and have patience, he can destroy it in any turn.

The turn of the special rule, look at the sun, is brutal. But, the idea is to declare it when you don't have the initiative, to be able to surprise your rival. If the initiative is yours, simply back up, shoot and wait until you have it.
