Historically there is no army that used only one type of troops; scouts, heavy infantry/cavalry, light infantry/cavalry, archers, all had their specific roles that were needed to win a battle. Rivendell and Lorien wouldn't be any different, so lightly armoured troops for Rivendell and heavy armoured troops for Lothlorien makes perfect sense.

As for ambushes it's absolutely not true that Rivendell wouldn't utilise that tactic; if they had the opportunity they would gladly take it, since a succesfull ambush decreases the chance of casualties. Lothlorien fights speedy and via ambushes only when they defend their borders. Do you think they can use the same tactic if they decide to go full offensive, and end up in a open 1v1 battlefield? I don't think so.

Perhaps a quite late reaction, but I find Círdan's model really fascinating. It is probably my favourite so far. I like every single bit of it, from the sword to the robes (whose motives remind me of something sea-related). Modding goals indeed! Wonderful art, as usual.
