Extending the Gondor & Arnor List with Missing Profiles [Part 3/13]

The first Army List to be extended is Gondor & Arnor. Recall from Part 2/12 that the set of missing profiles for the Gondor & Arnor Army List included the following:
  • Knight of the White Tower
  • Aragorn, King Elessar
  • Dunedain of Arnor
  • Faramir, Captain of Gondor
  • King of Men
  • Ranger of the North
Each of the SBG profiles were considered carefully and determined the best means by which they would be integrated into the WotR list. It was finally decided that there would be 4 new command upgrade heroes and 2 new epic heroes from the list above.

NEW COMMAND HEROES FOR GONDOR & ARNOR
  1. Knight of the White Tower
  2. King of Men
  3. Dunedain of Arnor
  4. Ranger of the North
1) KNIGHT OF THE WHITE TOWER

The Knight of the White Tower is now a common hero upgrade option for the following formations:
  • Minas Tirith Warriors
  • Minas Tirith Archers
  • Minas Tiirth Knights
  • Citadel Guard
  • Guards of the Fountain Court
The Knight of the White Tower has a new Heroic Special Rule. This is the White Sword of Gondor. It allows the Knight of the White Tower to be more deadly in Heroic Duels.

2) KING OF MEN

A King of Men is now a common hero upgrade option for the following formations:
  • Minas Tirith Warriors
  • Numenorean Warriors
  • Warriors of Arnor

Furthermore, the King of Men has been given a new Heroic Special Rule. This is Heroic Strike. The intent of Heroic Strike is to be similar to Epic Strike, just less potent.


3) DUNEDAIN OF ARNOR

The Dunedain of Arnor is now a common hero upgrade option for the following formations:
  • Rangers of Gondor
  • Rangers of Arnor
They provide Terror to the formations in which they are including. This provides more opportunity for Gondor & Arnor to have access to that special rule.

4) RANGER OF THE NORTH

Similar to the Dunedain of Arnor, the Rangers of the North are also common hero upgrade option for the following formations:
  • Rangers of Gondor
  • Rangers of Arnor
The Rangers of the North will provide the ability to use the Take Aim! Heroic Special Rule.


    UPDATES TO LEGENDARY FORMATIONS FOR GONDOR & ARNOR

    In order to be consistent with his SBG profile, Duinhir has been given his special rules for Go for the Eyes! and Critical Strike. These make this formation the "monster-killer" that they should be.



    NEW EPIC HEROES FOR GONDOR & ARNOR
    1. Aragorn, King Elessar
    2. Faramir, Captain of Gondor
    1) ARAGORN, KING ELESSAR



    2) FARAMIR, CAPTAIN OF GONDOR

    The existing profile within vanilla WotR has had its name changed to distinguish it from the new profile for Faramir. Likewise, the "correct" model is now shown in the profile as well - Faramir wearing Heavy Armor of Gondor; riding off to perform his Epic Sacrifice.
