I understand you may know a good deal of this, but just from an outside perspective, some thoughts:
1-Numbers are small, but your army has a high defense. That should balance out, but make sure heroes are spaced appropriately for standfast.
2-Your heroes are beastly. For the scenarios you should be able to use them to max out your potential. One thing I wonder though....you wouldnt rather have the KOU on the fellbeast and the dark marshall on horse? The banner is still mobile and now your killer(KOU) can move anywhere and destroy things while keeping your general safe. Either way....the way it is now definitely does work too. But I'd rather have the KOU able to fly over lines and pick targets to assassinate.
3-Personally, unless you need it for the tournament I'd remove the regular banner. I find time and time again unless you have elves or certain armies they dont help to win as many fights as you'd hope. Either way with your army size, the Dark Marshall is definitely in range of most of it.
4-I love the combination of terror units and the wraiths harbinger. Again....spacing and watching your flanks to avoid getting your non terror causing support attacked is important.
5-Might is low....and I have a suggestion that will probably change your army too much for your liking. Change the troll Chieftain to a Taskmaster. Either that or a taskmaster and mounted shaman. Those two combined are 20 points less, and can fill out some warbands. This way you will have courage to charge any terrorizing enemies, fury to keep them alive, and by probability, you'd go from 7 might to a possible 10-11. Thats massive.
I've had taskmasters that saved 5+ might at 800 points. A few weeks ago, I had a taskmaster that ended the game having used 6 might himself, with one left, and the game ended......
I REALLY feel that you have enough power in your army especially considering what people bring to our tournaments. Only a few understand ringwraiths, and fewer can handle them on fellbeasts.
Between those two wraiths' killing power, and the regular troll....you have more than enough killing power and I seriously believe to balance out the rest of the army you can use more units and more trickery i.e. fury, might saves, etc
Basically I agree with what Mr. Dude said.
To summarize(In my opinion if I made it):
-Switch the wraith mounts
-Replace Cheiftain with Taskmaster and morannons/upgrades to morannon
OR
Taskmaster, Shaman, and more units
-Drop the second banner
Im overall not TOO worried about the numbers. Besides a few players, our group likes to use big heroes it seems. At least one per army seems to be level of maxed Thorin, Glorfindel, Boromir maxed, etc.
I still would like to see a few more units and get ya in the lower to mid forties.
EDIT:
Or heck...if you want another sick killing hero ignore what I said.... take out the troll, put in Shagrat and save 30 points. Take out the banner. Add more Morannons and ugrade other orcs.
You can at least fill 3 warbands, and have 1 more might with a guy who def can kill a lot.
