Hi Scott - yes that Gothmog thread was pretty convoluted, eh? I think it a very good idea but it is very likely that since this a GW LOTR forum you may not find enough players who also are familiar with HC (which is after all one of a number of historical rulesets). It might be worth looking into using the Warlord Games forums instead - they seem to have quite a good atmosphere and might be open to extending their sets to other areas of wide appeal? Crosslinking over a couple of forums to broaden your set of contributors might not be a bad plan though
Oldman Willow A similar thing has been done with Impetvs (which is the Ancients ruelset I play) but I always preferred WOTR because I've found only a few changes need to be made to fix a couple of issues. I don't think they will strike too many problems adapting HC to fit LOTR since it actually has very few of what we would consider 'fantasy ' elements like spells on the battlefield,.
