Hi, I've just uploaded revised Roman and Celt profiles. I found that I varied between models for the cost of javelins which should be 2pts and the 1A 1W heroes...
Hi! I think that it could be interesting to try to adapt the LOTR rules for the Trojan wars. And of course it should be a semi historical setting with heroes...
... I think it has been discussed (most ideas have) but I don't recall anything being done about it. As you say the semi-mythical heroes really suit the LoTR...

I tried the game yesterday at my local GW. I thought it was absolutely amazing. The game is so, so fluid! The simplicity of the way companies work is very much...
Sounds good, at first I was in the mind of "what do we need another LOTR system for", but am now eagerly awaiting its release especially for use with other...
Would you say the game plays tactically? Does it reward, forming battlelines, holding the high ground, protecting your flanks etc etc? Can you give an idea of...
I like to do historical skirmish using the standard LotR rules with army stats developed here and in Wargames Journal (AWI and French and Indian). I'm looking...
I'd like the option of expanding my AWI and French and Indian from skirmish to larger battles also. I refer to my last question (would this be better than...
From what I've heard about the rules, they play faster, simpler, and easier than Warhammer. Only drawback is the large number of dice required. And that you...
The number of miniatures isn't as bad as you think. A 1500 point force for LOTR is about the same size as a WOTR force. Almost all of my LOTR forces are...
... force for LOTR is about the same size as a WOTR force. Almost all of my LOTR forces are easily adaptable to WOTR. My impression of WOTR is that the time...
Hi Scott and welcome, I am certainly eagerly awaiting WOTR thats for sure. Please take a look at the Britain Invaded files, the rules are working extremely...
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...

Hi Matt, That is correct a model cannot support and shoot. I've taken the pilum into account by allowing a second rank to support as if spear armed, normally...
