Instead I would take the Knight of Umbar (who has a HAWT new model coming out!) his ability while similar to the Dark Marshall will allow you to take advantage of any crazy enemy heroes, (good if you fight alot of Elves also prevents them from using Epic Strike, or barrow the strength of an enemy unit, which can be particularity good if you ever fight monsters, giving a whole unit the strength of an Ent seems a little awesome to me.
Pikes again are awesome, while you might not get the extra attack for charging you get a higher F, which is kind of like having an extra attack all the time. But sounds like you still can't get those on every thing and thats cool.
Other then that the army looks pretty solid, I am not totally sold on the 2nd unit of Black Guard, I feel like there might be a better use for those points, but meh.
