Francois,

An interesting idea and a very good name (I'm also a Tolkien fan).

Is there a 'fluff' reason why the Amandils are so much better than any
other aspect warrior? They've seen the light of Aman, I guess?

Since they Rampage, the combination of these rules doesn't entirely
make sense to me. Let me try to understand... Those that are in close
combat die - those that aren't actually in base to base can retreat,
right? Even though they aren't broken, if they end up within 15cm they
are still destroyed, right?

What is the reason for the Amandil's rampaging or not breaking?

The Ghost Warriors are the same as Wraithguard, right?
