LotR SBG -Warbands
General Public Announcement.
I have uploaded the first public release of the new SBG files which now support warbands. There has been a lot of work put into this dataset, and I wanted to take a moment to thank my loyal beta testers for all their work. It has not gone unnoticed and was very much appreciated. For players. Please note that I have stopped support of the old format. The final version was 1.91 and was not replaced by the new release. The old version was managed under the directory LOTR_EN. The new format has been moved to the directory LOTR_SBG. This was a decision made to prevent breaking existing saved rosters due to the new format. Finally, old rosters developed under the LOTR_EN structure will not work with the new SBG format. If you have any issues, questions or even identify any bugs, please post them here so I can respond to them here. Thanks, |
Bug report :
1) King champion for dwarfs doesnt have the option to add any warriors to his warband 2) When taking durin for dwarfs , the option for dwarf warriors upgrade to hearthguard is missing 3) dwarf balista doesnt have the uption of upgrading of one of its crew to a dwarf siege captain |
Easterlings issue and thanks
First, thanks for the update.
Second, I tried to add an Easterling warrior with shield and pike and could not. Just a heads up. |
Quote:
As for #3, that is actually working as intended. The rules for Siege Weapons is that if a Siege Weapon has an Engineer Captain(he must lead the warband). So there are actually 2 different Siege weapons for each type. One that is a 'hero option' that auto adds the Captain, and then as a warrior that can be added to an existing hero warband, but does not have an option for captain upgrade(since that would break them from the originating warband) |
Thanks for the new data files. It is good of you to do this work for us all to share.

Easterling warrior
Need to change back so you cannot take shield and pike together. Page 46 of the rules in the One Ring book Shields: If a warrior is armed with a two handed weapon or Pike it cannot carry a shield. It doesnt have enough hands. Cheers Winkmog |

Will you be updating the file to include the new Hobbit edition models and perhaps even weapon rules where included in rosters?
|
I have been working on the hobbit additions. Also there have been several FAQ updates that need added. As for the weapon special rules, they do not need added since they are dependent on the wysiwyg model and how it is armed. There are a couple models whose special rule grants use of weapons special rules which will be included though.
There are some issues with Hobbit that I am trying to figure out, such as the Hobbit indicates that models of the same name are replaced resulting in issues with Gandalf the Grey no longer having a horse or cart option. Hoping this gets a FAQ soon to help explain this and how it should be handled going forward. For now I think I plan to use 2 different Gandalf the Grey models indicating one as Hobbit version. |
Updates
If I select Legolas or Gimli as allies it thinks they are part of fellowship and will not let me add followers - even though selected them from Elf and Dwarf lists and trying to add respective warriors - they are not independent heroes. - This seems to happen with lots of characters from any army list when you select them as allies.
Should the siege engine points cost not auto include the minimum crew? Additional crew should be only crew you pay for? Faramir has no Armoured Horse Option Banner bearers can take shields now apparantly |
Apologies to all. I had a system crash a while back during my initial Hobbit dev and lost everything. As such I was frustrated and tabled the project work. Due to work life and an extended Jury Duty assignment, I have had no time to work on this. I will however try to get some work done over the next couple weeks and see about releasing an updated version for everyone.

Maybe I am misunderstanding the issue you have. Please elaborate further. Quote:

Banner Bearers can only take shields IF their profile allows for it. It does however appear that the prior rule of losing all existing weapons and gear no longer applies. This will take some additional reworking of the files to support. Thanks for pointing this out. |
If I build a Minas Tirith list and I add the following persons from their respective lists I cannot add followers.
Legolas, Thranduil and Celeborn from Lothlorien and Mirkwood Elrond (both Versions), Arwen, Glorfindel, Cirdon and Erestor from Eregion and Rivendell Gimli from Durin's Folk However this only happens when they are allies not if they are the main roster. Gimli has [df] after name not [fe] same with the other characters. Siege engines is as you stated - I did't spot that the points dropped to allow you to crew to correct points - fixed. Faramir has an option for Armoured Horse but didn't notice you need to select horse then edit horse to add armour - fixed Thanks |
Thanks everybody who helped with the Lord of the rings data files.
Is it possible to make an army list without warbands fe for playing scenario's |
Bug Report: Legolas[Im] is unable to add units when filling as ally role. Thanks

I've looked on the main lone wolf website but can't find no lotr SBG files etc for army builder |
is anyone able to update the lord of the rings file with the battle of the 5 armies free pdf on the GW site?
|
n00b = me
Hi, I just bought the program army builder and was wondering if there's any army templates ready made by enthusiasts available for download?
/Greetings from Sweden |
There's a set of data files that cover all of the currently valid books (except for Battle Companies, which just came out).
In the "Get Started" dialog window, pick "Get Updates", and look for "Lord of the Rings (V4.11)" in the list. Unless you meant something else by templates, like ready-made rosters or something? I'm not aware of anybody uploading anything like that, no. |
