[2] Ancient Elven Warrior [Elven]
Companion • Elf
Strength 5
Vitality 3
While you can spot three non-unique [Elven] companions, each [Elven] companion is strength +2 and gains archer.
I like Sam's version better (a random boring guy making all your Elves archers? Seems ridiculous to me. His text looks much better on a commander character like Gil-galad or Elrond). But even with Sam's version, the general rule is not to make non-unique archer companions. I'm not entirely convinced by this rule, but that is generally accepted. You know what I think about generally accepted conventions, however! ;) Maybe a name like Elven Soldier, Footsoldier, Regiment etc. would be better?

[2] Dwarven Conscript [Dwarven]
Companion • Dwarf
Strength 5
Vitality 3
This companion is strength +1 for each Free Peoples card stacked on a [Dwarven] condition.
This companion is damage +1 for each Shadow card stacked on a [Dwarven] condition.
Again this does not seem to be the sort of text for a non-unique companion. For Gimli, Balin, Dáin, Durin III, sure - but not some random guy. That said, the ability is interesting enough to repeat.

A suggestion:

[2] Dwarven Conscript [Dwarven]
Companion • Dwarf
Strength: 5
Vitality: 3
This companion is strength +1 for each [Dwarven] card stacked on a [Dwarven] condition (limit +3).
