If you're going to include Boromir in that small of a game, I would go ahead and go all out and give him a horse and lance. He's so much more powerful on a horse that he'll more than earn the additional points back. I would also drop all of your WoMT with bows. In fact, I would swap all of them for Veterans of Osgiliath. For an extra point, you get +1 courage and +1 fight if they're within 6" of Boromir.

So I would say use this:
Boromir, shield, lance, horse
12 Veterans with shields

Captain with shield:
6 Rangers
4 Guards of the Fountain Court with shield.

That's 450 on the nose. For such a small force, you have some really solid troops, with the fight value for all being 4, the D for most being 6-7, and you have some really good shooting. Since I assume that you don't have any veterans, I would just proxy. Since it's a friendly game, your opponent shouldn't mind.

That is a nice looking list but I simply don't have the models. I only have boromir on foot and I don't really like to proxy.

I have been wanting some vets but they are too hard to get my hands on. I may do some conversions one day.

Again it requires the model but Cirion is much better than a Captain of Minas Tirith, they're one of the worst hero options for Gondor

Ok, I figured you would have had him on a horse. The only difference between the Warrior and Veteran models is basically just a sash, so people shouldn't mind you just saying that they're veterans.
