Here are some hints on converting characteristics from WH40K to LOTR: they have to be heavily playtested as the mathematics are rather different in many cases....

Hello fellows, below some my idea. Let my know your opinion. Fundamentally I think the nice aspect of Lotr is to be a skirmish game with very adaptable rules....
