Thanks for this! It should be a good guide to making themed armies in the least.

| Post subject: | Allies lists for WOTR |
Updated 9/12/12 Hello all, In an attempt to create a more "historical" game of WOTR, my group has adopted the Legions of Middle Earth allies lists for our games. With this directive, I have made the following list of armies for WOTR and the units that can be used by them. Each army states the ages in which it can be used, the units and characters that make up the army, and the page number where you will find the unit/character's statistics in the WOTR book. With regards to ages, all armies are listed with dates, so one that is 2nd age cannot be used against a 3rd age, and vice versa. Along with this, some units/character are listed with their appropriate dates. In most cases the dates provided for the army list will suffuce for all types, but a few can only be used in certain ages and these have been labelled E (early), M (Middle), L (Late) and 2 (2nd Age) or 3 (3rd Age). Please also note, that there are a few units that have no dates and are given ??? In addition a few units have no ratings, such as elf chariots. Maybe someone can direct me to the issues of WD where these appeared. I added two new factions: Mount Gundabad, Mount Gram - I'd like imput on these and their allies I would also like to get opinions on the Corsairs, as they can ally with many nations that are nowhere near the sea (like Angmar and Moria) I think this is wrong. I hope this is helpful to you in your games. I welcome feedback. Brian NATIONALITIES/ARMIES GOOD 1. The Fellowship 2. North Kingdom a. Arnor b. Grey Company c. Shire 3. Elven Havens a. Rivendell b.

Wow, what a work! Looks very good, but I think Nazgul shouldn't ally with Isengard, as Saruman and Sauron are rivals in the hunt for the Ring, and Saruman actively hinders the Nazgul. |

Sauron sent a Nazgul to Isengard when he saw Pippin in the Palantir, it's not that unrealistic for a Nazgul to ally with Saruman. Saruman thought he was a rival, but he was just a puppet since the time he first looked in his Palantir. |

Thanks for this! It should be a good guide to making themed armies in the least.

And even if Saruman only really was a puppet, he thinks he's a rival, and as such tries his best to hinder the Nine. Also, I don't think everyone should be able to have OP Nazgul to cherrypick. But on the other hand, one can always just not use the option. Hm, maybe you should keep them... |

In the case of the Nazgul, they should be able to ally with Isengard Scouts, but not the Legion of the White Hand. Also, the only reason they could ally with Dunland in SBG was as they were used as Carn Dum Barbarians, and Dunalnd could alos ally with Angmar and Dwellers. Black Guards should be in more lists. In LoME they were alos in Cirith Ungol, the Black Gate and Dol Guldor. Druzhag also aught to be in Dwellers as well, as he suits that list better than Moria, and as with the above, was allowed in LoME. The Mahud and Khandish kings do have rules. The Mahud one is battlehost-only hero, and the Khand one is an upgrade for Khandish Charioteers. Umbar also need the Betrayer (he and the KoU are a duo), Haradrim Raiders and Black Numenoreans. Sharky and Worm also have stats - Saruman and Grima! Blackshields ought to be in Dwellers Below too, as they're from Gundabad not Moria. Tom Bombadil should not be in the Wizards list. In case you haven't notice (in which case read the description) Dwarf Tunnel Fighting Team and Vault Wardens are the same thing. A Galadhrim Pathwalker is not a Stormcaller. Also, GW fluff concerning Burhdur includes that he killed arathorn and was killed by Aragorn, so he needs to be in the 3rd Age. Very good work however, well done killerkatanas

I took the information from LOME, and it did not have any Black Guards listed in the book. I would think that the Guard of Barad-Dur, being that it is a special named unit for War of the Ring, should only be in the Barad-Dur list. I agree on Druzhag. The betrayer and the Knight of Umbar are used as a combo in the SBG? I don't play the SBG so I don't know. It makes sense that the Betrayer is Harad-based. Blackshields - If the Dwellers list represents Gundabad, then I totally agree. However, I put these with Moria since I thought that the list represented all the Misty Mountain dwellings (Gundabag, Moria, Mount Gram), while the Dwellers list represented other places. Do you think this is the right interpretation? Tom - I put him there because he is not in the LOME book (or did I miss him?). It would make sense for him to be in a Shire list, but I don't think it is appropriate to have the Hobbits using him as an ally. My next choice would be as a Wanderer in the Wild, but then I think that list allows him to ally with far too many types. It seemed to me that the Wizards list would be a good compromise. Vault Warden Is a Tunnel fighting team? - ok, that makes sense. Then what is a Pathwalker? Burdur, I have him only available for the Middle third age, the time of the War between Angmar and Arnor.

Brian Black Guards are;nt aspecial name unit. There are Mordor roll in Dol Guldor, Morannon Orcs in Barad-dur. Clcak Guard shoul be in Dol Guldor and at least 1 of the other Mordor lists. Their online SBG rules list them in all my aforementioned armies. Unless you feel strongly that they should be different. The Betrayer and the Knight of Umbar are both Harad/Umbar Lords, to rule Harad one must rule from Umbar. They don't always get used as a duo. The Dwellers list represennt the Wilds, the less civilsed places, in general Moria refer to Moria and only Moria, though Blackshields should still be in both lists, because they match the Moria Uruks description (Moria), and Bolg's Guard (Dwellers). Bombadil should be in Wanderers. Though should have a special rule like the old SBG one that he cannot be userd on battles outside of the Old Forrest regardless. Pathwalkers were a scrapped idea for a Warrior tipe, like an elite Ranger, but were dropped beforte they went into production, Stormcallers are basic magicians. Buhrdur needs to be in late 3rd Age. Trolls do have long lifespans though, so he could be earlier as well. |

Trolls do have long lifespans though, so he could be earlier as well. Thanks for the reply. Let me give you my further thoughts: I really think that the Black Guard is a special named unit that should only be available in Barad-Dur. I think that its rareness means that it is not available in many places. Therefore, for my lists, I am going to leave it, but I invite people to change it to suit what they think is correct. I really think the Moria list represenst the formal settlements of the goblins, which is quite different that the wilds. I plan to keep the list as it is and add wo more misty mountain dwellings: Mounts Gundabad and Gram. Mount Gram was home of the Orc raider Golfimbul, who attacked the Shire, while Gundabad was home of Bolg, who initiated the Battle of Five Armies. Of course, no stats for these, but it would be nice to see some eventaually. Again, feel free to chan ge it if you do not agree. I agree on bombadil Buhrdur, according to the books that I have, was killed after the defeat of the Witch King's forces at the Battle of the Hills of Evidim in Third Age 1975, so I will also leave that to the decision of the players to increase his availability into the late Third Age.

Maybe he was mentioned, but he was definitely a GW made up one, especially seeing as he supposedly killed Arathorn. |

The booklet that came with the collector's edition talks about him, and the game has him in it. The synopsis of the game is the rise of Angmar and its attack on Arnor. GW added the stuff about him, and giving him a history as the assassin of Arathorn, thus the revenge of Aragorn scenario in the Arnor book. Brian |

Brian No he is not, EA games made up Rogash who joined the Witch-king. Burdhdur is entirely different non-canon Troll, and he killed Arathorn and was killed by Aragorn: Quote from TBFME2-ROTWK: Quote: A Troll of exception cunning and cruelty, Rogash destroys the Witch-king's enmeies with unparalleled might Quotes from Ruin of Arnor: Quote: ...when the sons of Elrond Halfelven discover a shadow has fallen over the northern villages, the bring word to Arathorn, Chieftain of the Dunedain. In recent weeks the Orc brigands in the high hills of Rhudaur have grouped together into a formidable warband, a brutish horde directed by a scatrred Troll...

Brian Rogash was killed a long tome before Buhrdur rose to power. Maybe they are father and son? In the books most certainly. Also, the scenario fluff wording suggests that Burdhur did not slay Arathorn himsefl, but was in command a 'pack' of warriors consisting of Orcs, Wargs and other Trolls. And it is many many years in between those scenarios, though not as much time as between some of the others. The scenarios cover great time periods. As both Rogash and Buhrdur are similar, and not-Tolkkein, it would be fair to be able to use Burdur to represent Rogash as well as himself, thus allowing the modle to be use din mid and late 3rd Age. |

That sounds reasonable. So the Burdur model and stats would represents Rogash, during Angmar's war with Arnor, and Burdhur after. Brian |
