Hi' is there anyone able to update the lotr system?
I have found several errors and mistakes on the current one which need adjusting. If anyone can help to maintain the system it would be very much appreciated. The following things need updating or adjusting. Corsair Bo'sun basic points cost should be 45 points not 50 Mordor Troll description of war drums currently says it effects orcs, uruk hai and trolls. It should say orcs, mordor uruk hai and trolls. Magical power Immobilise/Transfix description currently says If he wins a combat he will strike. Should say if he wins a combat he will not strike. Warrior of the dead should have an option for a banner costing 25 points Knights of Dol Amroth should have option for horn blower costing 20 points Galadriel magic description to cast immobilize should be 3+ not 2+ Legolas needs the option of armour costing 5 points Elf warriors currently have hand weapon set in their basic profile. Elf warriors should be unarmed on the basic profile. The following new figures for LOTR need to be added. Gundabad Blackshield Captain (Goblin) Gundabad Blackshield Shaman (Goblin) Gundabad Blackshields (Goblin) Gundabad Blackshield Drummers (Goblin) Cave Drake Floi Stonehand, Loremaster of Moiria (Dwarf) The King's Champion (Dwarf) Many thanks Winkmog |

Hi jlong
First of all i would like to say thankyou very much for taking up the upkeep of Lotr sbg datafile. It is very welcome! Thank you for updating what i have found so far. A speedy job. I used the ORB and all the latest sourcebooks. I don't use the lome book as it's very out of date with info and profiles. I always thought what ever the latest book says takes presedence over existing info. Im currently working my way through each scourcebook looking for differences. So far i have only done Gondor in flames. I have found another 10 or so errors or out of date info just from this book. Would you like me to write them here or send you a pm? If you need any info or stats for the new figures please let me know. im more than happy to help with supplying stats and info to keep this file updated. Many Thanks Winkmog |

Post em up here for now. I am not setup for updates. Colen is checking with the last maintainer to confirm he is in fact done. I have all the books, so stats are not an issue, but if you find errors, please give me the details(list in), and where(book and page) you have the difference in stats or info.

The following differences i have found in the Fall of the Necromancer sourcebook:
Saruman the White page 37 Staff of Power description should say: Whilst he wields his staff Saruman can expend 1 point of Will each turn without reducing his own store. The Necromancer page 43 Defence is 8 not 9 Drain Soul in the description need to change the word king to Necromancer Khamul the Easterling page 44 Black Dart should be 6 not 5 Compel should be 5 not 4 Drain Courage 3 not 2 Sap Will 4 not 3 Transfix 4 not 3 Giant Spider page 47 Venom description should say : The fangs of the Giant Spiders are highly venomous. They must re-roll each score of 1 when rolling to wound. Hope this helps Winkmog Last edited by Winkmog; February 23rd, 2011 at 09:45 AM. |

Oh yeah, additionally, it appears your review is for the 'free peoples' list only. Please note that LoME is still the default book standard for army building. Its rules are only overruled by more current [army lists], not more current models. The LoME lists have several instances where all the available model options are not present. This is an attempt to stay both within the timeline of play, as well as for game balancing. As such, I have updated your examples for the free peoples list, however the army specific instances that continue to omit those options have been retained. I am hoping to get the final touches done in the next few days to add the missing units, and then plan for a week of testing. My goal is to get the next release out for 3/15.

Hey great to see someone picking up the LOTR torch. I notice also that Goldberry and Tom Bombadil are not in the lists.
I have just finished adding them to my set and it was a bit of a task to work out how to do it. They have a lot of rules about not having Goldberry without Tom. I would love to get you rupdated fileset. Though. |

I am still working on updates. I will probably be making another batch of updates this week and sending to my Beta Testing group. I am hoping to have a 3-15 release of updated files.
One thing to note. While I do like the format of the current files(several rules are included) remember that these files shouldn't ever be a replacement for owning the actual rules. As such, it's likely that exceptional rules(like the Mumak, One Ring, etc...) may simply refer you to the main rules and provide the page#. This is to help simplify the datafiles as well as protect myself from GW IP issues. The only "hobby" GW is interested in is lining their pockets with your money. |
