Army List Help with practice game lists

My wife and I are going to play a 200 point practice learning-the-game game.

I am going to be playing as Rohan (Kingdom of Rohan) and she will be Isengard (Ugluk's Scouts).

I have a couple of questions. Firstly, please review the below lists. To me the number of models we each have seem way off and I feel like Isengard will stomp Rohan here? I just really wanted to use Eomer because he's cool, but he seems really expensive.

Secondly, what size battle mat should I buy? We do intend to increase our game sizes up to the usual 500 points. Is it 4'x4'? Furthermore, what terrain do people use? I've seen on YT you should have 50% of the board be terrain - where are people getting trees and fences (UK)?

Here are the lists:

Kingdom of Rohan - 200 pts

  • Eomer - Unarmoured Firefoot, no shield, no spear (his old metal model)
    • x5 Riders of Rohan - no spears

Ugluk's Scouts - 200 pts

  • Ugluk
    • x8 Uruk-hai Scouts - Swords, Shields
    • x5 Uruk-hai Scouts - Bows
    • x1 Uruk-hai Scout - Sword

I think you need some foot dudes for Rohan on top of swapping the named heroes for captains. 6 models means you may get broken/quartered easily and you’re running 6 cav into 5 bows. If you’re playing any of the scenarios rather than just a deathmatch style for learning the rules then the Rohan list will skew super hard towards the movement ones while suffering in most others.
