Being a huge fan of the LOTOW and the LOTHS systems, I have finally succumbed to the urge to adapt the system to my favorite setting - the Victorian Sci-fi...
Although a popular setting, I don't know of any lotr adaptions. I've not done any myself as I've bee playtesting a system by Eureka which is very tongue in...
anyone know the average cost of a skill is? For instance I'm making a head villain from scratch and how many points the 4 skills are he gets like many other...
There are no fixed points cost or formula's for working skills out, many LOTR named heroes special skills cost nothing, such as Haldirs and Legolas' extra...
Well the problem as I see it, is that there are no rules for vehicles in the original ruleset, so you have to come up with one. Or maybe you can use Foxwigs...
Got some of those sweet Celt and legion minis comin from Warlord. Im gonna paint a few of the boxes I have now this month. Thanks for the LOTR variant rules!...
Welcome Matt, I've been playing the Rome/Celt rules for a long while now and they appear to be working superbly after a lot of input and idea's from the group....
Yeah I just got a few of the basics. Cataphracts huh? Did you get yours from Warlord or some other company? Any recommendations as far as sculpts? Matt ...
Hey all, Quick question, sorry if its obvious. The rules in the LOTR book say if you shoot in the shoot phase you cannot support with spears (legionary support...
... I know Dave S agonised over the pila. It's a difficult weapon to distil into a simple rule. What he ended up with is a heavy weight defensive throwing...

Hmm. I statted up some of the Space 1889/RAFM sets for LotOW. I can look around when I get home and see if I can find them to post. No steamtanks or anything,...
hi. im thomas, first time poster. i want to do some quick and dirty napoleonics and i think/hope that the war of the rings rules set could do the trick. what...
Hi Thomas, I've not got nor played the rules yet so any idea's are pure speculation. You will need to find a Napolionic average for a profile, points cost it...
WOTR is also very fluid in terms of formation changes and movement. Napoleonic formations were not as dynamic. I think Dav'es suggestions arre a great start....
thanks dave. ive read through the rules in the filessection and i think that i could incoroprate thiings such as strengths for guns etc. i havent read the WOTR...
Hi Guy's, I've just uploaded my latest Rome and Celt profiles. I finally bought a jumbo at salute so their are untested rules for them along with Sarmatian...
