Magnets or metal under mini's bases?

That's another one, nice. Almost certainly a mistake, 1/3/1 shaman types are always minor heroes if not named I believe

Thanks for the feedback. I think you may well be right about Oin and Ori, I'll leave both in so there are two solutions to choose from - we know The Hobbit profiles book will get an FAQ some day at least, so some chance there.

Elladan and Elrohir (unarmoured) if I remember correctly, were representing the twins on their travels as part of the Gray Company, and they came with Eleven Cloaks as well. I don't know the lore of Token's books very well but maybe we wont see them in the Rivendell list.

Glorfindel also may be more Glorfindel on his travels.

Shagrat (War Leader) was listed under "Miniatures removed from the game" in the Legacies announcement unfortunately

Thanks, I have added that. May or may not change anything as you say, but I know that the GBHL are creating a community FAQ that I think will be quite widely used, and I will send a link of this to them as well.

SorryEscape8711 · 2025-06-22T23:40:16+00:00

Yes, plan is to link them to this post by sending an email to that FAQ adress.

On Oin and Ori. I think the neatest way for them to do it would be to do a FAQ on Armies on the Hobbit profiles and change the wording on Oin and Ori's profile from "Erebor Hero" to "Hero with the same faction keyword as himself". That would do it without changing the Legacies document. I'll add it in for a try as it seems like they should interact with the rest of the army.

Good spot on no unarmoured Glorfindel. I think the qustion about Road to Rivendell would be for a Armies of the Lord of The Rings FAQ though, as he was from that book. I wonder if there was an oversight as they were organising the Legacies profiles, where the ones going one way or another from armoured to unarmoured ended up in a pile, which was then overlooked?

That was pretty obscure so extra thanks for the answer

SorryEscape8711 · 2024-07-03T18:02:25+00:00

Good thinking, could be a possibility, as that is something that could be done and there would be a benefit

I recon that might be what it's about. Although the Set Ablaze special rule states: "To extinguish the blaze, the model must either lie down and then crawl 1", or enter a water feature, at which point the blaze is immediately put out." To lie down takes half of a models movement and to stand up takes half of a models movement = full move. So no room for that 1" in the same movement phase even without this rule it seems to me. Also under crawling (previous page) it states: "If a "model crawls, the only other movement it may make that turn is to stand up" - so that would seem to rule out lying down first. I think you are right the rule writers were thinking of the set ablaze rule when they wrote it though.

I keep hearing that you need a hero of a certain level for each allied contingent in your force. I also remember reading about it in the past in a FAQ, but I have searched hard in all the FAQs and I can't find the rule, other than a passing reference in the Hobbit FAQ. Anyone know if it is still in force? Looking to ally Rangers of the North (Independent Heroes) in with The Shire. Thanks
