Stil problems with adding Grimebeorn in Halls of Thranduil

Cant take Grimebeorn in Halls of Thranduil as a historical allies even if Thranduil is in the army or the army leader. And Thranduil needs to be the leader even if Grimebeorn is added.

The best solution must be to add him to Halls of Thranduil so you can add him but if Thranduil is not a leader it will give an error.

It must of course be possible to add beornings under Grimebeorn when he is added.

Thanks for the feedback.

It's still not clear to me how GW thinks this should work, but given that they provide some rules for allying Grimbeorn with different army lists, I guess the best solution for now is to provide a non-LL Beornings list.

Unless some other information shows up, expect this to be included in the next update.
 
A couple of issues

In the Mordor list Gothmog, Lieutenant of Sauron is Locked as army leader even if he isn't the highest level of hero for some reason.

as ever, thank you in advance and for all the hard work on the project

Edit: OH! Also i found an issue with the oft ignored and rarely used King of Men, his armour and heavey armour choices are both greyed out with normal armour locked on, unlike a few others that can upgrade normally.

Found a few more, I hope this is appreciated.

1. Fangorn list still forces treebeard to be added and be army leader, rather than let you just run quickbeam or Beechbone

2. In army of thror the Grimhammer captain has a shield options he isn't supposed to have.
 
In The Kingdom of Khazad-Dum I cannot select Balin, The Dwarf King of Moria as King. When Added he should give access to
Ori the Dwarf Champion of Erebor
Ion the Dwarf, Champion of Erebor
Gimli, Son of Gloin, from the Fellowship.

Selecting Balin should make all allies impossible and make all other named heroes except Floi Stonehand not selectable.
 
Yes, corrections are always appreciated, and encouraged!

It might be a good idea to put them in a separate thread though - that way, they're more visible, and might get fixed sooner.

All four issues you reported are fixed in the next release, which is just about ready for upload.

In the most recent FAQ, GW added this:

Q: What exactly can Grimbeorn (and as a result, Beornings) be allied with outside of the Beornings Legendary Legion? (p.68)

A: Treat Grimbeorn in the same manner as all other Wanderers in the Wild. As a result, Grimbeorn has his own list of what he can ally with provided in his profile. Beornings can then be included in Grimbeorn’s warband as normal.

So apparently Grimbeorn is supposed to be in the Wanderers in the Wild list. Expect that to be changed in the next update to the data files.
