Status Update for Progress on Profile Creation and Army List Document Writing - Evil Armies [Part 2b/13]

Here is the current progress that I have made for putting together the new army lists with the updated profiles that have already been created for the missing models in WotR for Evil Armies.

Similar to what we did for the Good Armies is in the Post for Part 1/2, I will include the current progress and the lists for each document. Recall that the headers for the colored matrix include:

• Order Correct
• Name Correct
• Points Correct
• Image Correct
• Image Text Correct
• Stats Correct
• Type Correct
• Company Size Ranges Correct
• Wargear Correct
• Command Correct
• Special Rules Correct
• Updated H2Kill Rule Used
• Monster Striking Order
• Cavalry Striking Order
• Cavalry Charge
• Unique Character/Unique Weapon
• Heroic Actions Included
• Epic Actions Included
• Magic Included
• Profile Proofread
• Borders Correct

Each cell is marked with a Red No, a Green Yes, or a Yellow N/A. If the header item hasn't been implemented or verified it is marked Red, if it is completely correct it is marked Green - and if the profile does not have any applicability to a header (i.e. the profile is not a monster or cavalry) then they are marked Yellow.

1) Mordor

Here is a close-up of the profile list on the left:

As you already know (from the previous post) Mordor's Army List is 100% complete. When finished it turned out be a 63 page document - Mostly due to the large number of Magic Casting Monsters that are included in the Army! Everything has been written and the only remaining thing to do is to create it and secure it via PDF and put it up on the downloads page.

The current completion status for the 34 profiles within Mordor: 100%

2) The Fortress of Isengard

Here is the profile list for The Fortress of Isengard:

The profiles for The Fortress of Isengard are the next closest set to be ready to be done. There are a few Legendary Formations that need to be completed - including the new Legendary Formation for Sharkey and Worm! Notice that there is also a name change for the Ruffians - to distinguish it from the Legendary Formation that is coming. I'm fairly certain that this one will be the next one to have its post put up for the purple profiles.

The current completion status for the 29 profiles within The Fortress of Isengard is: 100%

3) The Misty Mountains (Moria)

Here is the profile list for The Misty Mountains:

This Army List still has a ways to go - and has the majority of impacts for new profiles (including Smaug and Gollum, Riddler in the Dark - necessitating the name change in Mordor's Army List). Once this is done in conjunction with the Dwarf List - everyone will be pretty excited, I'm sure. Actually, it's been a while since I've done the Audit on this list ... it is actually mostly likely further along than this is indicating - because I know that Durburz and Druzhag's profiles are both complete.

The current completion status for the 26 profiles within The Misty Mountains (Moria) is: 16%

4) The Fallen Realms

Here is the profile list for The Fallen Realms:

The Army List for the Fallen Realms is complete! It has been updated with a full set of profiles that existed in SBG but had been omitted from WotR..

The current completion status for the 38 profiles within The Fallen Realms is: 100%

5) Angmar

Here is the profile list for Angmar:

This is another list that required a lot of new profile updates. The only reason that this one is so "incomplete" is just due to the fact that there are so many new profiles to be added to this Army List. The updates that have been made make Angmar a more "smart-person" type of Army ... it will require a lot of anticipation for enemy movements and puts more emphasis on the importance of Priority.

The current completion status for the 33 profiles within Angmar is: 100%.

So, there we go - keep you eyes peeled for more updates coming soon!! It is definitely getting exciting!

Extending the Mordor List with Missing Profiles [Part 9/13]

The next Army List to be extended is Mordor. Recall from Part 2/12 that the set of missing profiles for the Mordor Army List included the following:

• Guritz
• Great Beast of Gorgoroth
• Black-Hearted Trees
• Shagrat, Warleader of Cirith Ungol
• Gollum the Murderer

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 2 new rare formations, 2 new epic heroes and an updated epic hero from the list above. Also, to "tie up loose ends" there are also updates for the Orc Tracker Warband, the Mordor Battering Ram and The Necromancer of Dol Guldur.

UPDATED COMMON FORMATIONS FOR MORDOR

1. Orc Tracker Warband

The Orc Tracker Warband did not have any of the options for upgrading their command company. Since there is nothing particularly distinct about them as a formation, they should have the option to include the standard set of upgrades:

• Banner
• Drummer
• Taskmaster

They still do not have a distinct Command Hero in the form of a Captain, but that should be ok since there are plenty of Epic Heroes within Mordor to choose from. The cost of the three upgrades follows the standard cost for them:

UPDATED RARE FORMATIONS FOR MORDOR

1. Mordor Battering Ram

As for the Mordor Battering Ram ... We never really knew how to treat this model ... Is it an Infantry model with 4 warriors? If so, shouldn't it have the special rule Indomitable? Or is it an Artillery Warmachine model? But then it would have 0" move and would be rather un-useful...

We finally decided to leave it a Monster and thus let it be treaded just like a Troll. So we adjusted the Move Value down, and gave it a unique ability to be more effective against Artillery (so now it has an actual purpose within an army instead of just a "light troll"), with the Disarmament Special Rule. Likewise, since it is literally a Monster profile, now - we gave it the Striking Order (Monster) Special Rule - now this is actually a more useful model to include with an Army of Mordor!

NEW RARE FORMATIONS FOR MORDOR

1. Great Beast of Gorgoroth
2. Black-hearted Trees

1) GREAT BEAST OF GORGOROTH

Up to this point, the only behemoth WarMachine has been the Mumak in the Fallen Realms Army List. Recall that we made quite a few changes to its profile wording and description in THIS POST.

It makes sense that the Great Beast follow the model of the Mumak, however we wanted it to be a more predicable model and not have the random element that the Mumak possesses.

I'm actually quite pleased with the way that this profile turned out ... I'm anxious to see it in action and watch it yield the destruction that it warrants!

2) BLACK-HEARTED TREES

These are the "fallen Ents" that have turned to support the dark plans of Sauron. This profile provides a fun new way for the Evil Armies to get in on the tree war. They have been created as Infantry (in lieu of being Monsters - since Mordor already has enough Monsters already). Ooh ... should I create a Mordor Ambusher Army?? Shelob, Grishnakh's Trackers, Orc Trackers, Morgul Stalkers, and Black-hearted Trees?? Yes, I should!

UPDATED LEGENDARY FORMATIONS FOR MORDOR

1. The Necromancer of Dol Guldur

The Necromancer is a model that I was surprised not to have seen more of in games. For the Vanilla Cost of 300 Points, he was a total steal! I think it was the broken mechanic of the Hard to Kill Special Rule that was initially prohibitive ... Remember that we fixed that problem in THIS POST. So, to make him more worthy of being the Dark Lord we have upgraded his Hard to Kill to be Very Hard to Kill. He has the Epic Ability of Epic Ruination right out of the gate, as well ... we decided to give him the option of upgrading to include 2 additional Epic Abilities that will effect spell efficiency, as well:

• Epic Distress
• Epic Shadow

There will be a post very soon that will be dedicated strictly to these new upgrades (and additionally Epic Direction and Epic Naturalization).

I think that the Necromancer wins the award for the longest profile, too ... 4 pages long! That alone should show you how awesome he really is!

UPDATED EPIC HEROES FOR MORDOR

1. Gollum the Murderer

The existing profile for Gollum is a little lack-luster. Also, once Gandalf, Aragorn or Elrond were included within the opposing Army ... he was pretty much a sitting duck. He has been given the new Special Rule Instill Terror and has had his Strangling Horror Special Rule updated. Also, he has a new Epic Ability: Epic Debilitation - this will allow him to have more impact on the opposing army and will put the precious heroes of Gandalf, Aragorn, and Elrond in harm's way to attempt to "discover" him.

NEW EPIC HEROES FOR MORDOR

1. Guritz
2. Shagrat, Warleader of Cirith Ungol

1) GURITZ

This Epic Hero is the anti-Gondor master! Just as he shows up on the pillage of Osgiliath in the films, he can wreck havoc on destroying the new Faramir profile and his precious little veterans! He fills the gap of Inspiring Leader for Mordor and provides some additional flair with his other Special Rules and Epic Abilities.

2) SHAGRAT, WARLEADER OF CIRITH UNGOL

It has always bothered me that Legendary Heroes (those heroes that are included within their Legendary Formations) could never leave the Legendary formation to aid support to other formations in the Army. I guess that's why the Epic Heroes are so much more expensive - their ability to jump around the battlefield to provide the support where they are most needed. Now Shagrat can do that, too! He provides an amazing Defense Value boost to even the most feeble of Orc Warriors ... this can make him useful in that right alone!

Well, there we have it for Mordor! Any thoughts? I know I still need to get the Status Update for Evil together and posted ... but just to pique your curiosity, yes - Mordor is also 100% complete and just needs to be put up on the Download Page!!

Extending the Kingdom of Rohan List with Missing Profiles [Part 4/13]

The next Army List to be extended is the Kingdom of Rohan. Recall from Part 2/12 that the set of missing profiles for The Kingdom of Rohan Army List included the following:

• King's Huntsman
• Eomer, King of the Pelennor
• Helm's Guard
• Helm Hammerhand
• King of Men
• Rohan Outrider Captain
• Eowyn, Heroine of Helm's Deep
• Elfhelm

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 3 new command upgrade heroes, 2 new legendary formations, and 2 new epic heroes from the list above. Also, due to the addition of Eomer and Eowyn's new profiles their existing Epic Hero profiles have been adjusted to capture their function properly.

NEW COMMAND HEROES FOR THE KINGDOM OF ROHAN

1. King's Huntsman
2. King of Men
3. Rohan Outrider Captain

1) KING'S HUNTSMAN

The King's Huntsman is now a common hero upgrade option for the following formations:

• Riders of Rohan Eored
• Oathsworn Bowmen

The King's Huntsman has a new Special Rule Hunter. It allows the King's Huntsman to inflict automatic hits on enemy formations.

2) KING OF MEN

A King of Men is the same common hero upgrade option that was mentioned in Gondor & Arnor and can be upgraded in the following formations:

• Oathsworn Militia
• Oathsworn Bowmen

As seen in the Gondor & Arnor post, 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.

NEW LEGENDARY FORMATIONS FOR THE KINGDOM OF ROHAN

1. Eomer, King of the Pelennor
2. Helm's Guard (including Helm Hammerhand)

1) EOMER, KING OF THE PELENNOR

Rohan does have any Monsters within their Army List - so it is appropriate for Eomer to fill this role atop his horse on Pelennor Field.

2) HELM'S GUARD

Rohan's Original Hero - Helm Hammerhand finally gets his profile!

UPDATED EPIC HEROES FOR THE KINGDOM OF ROHAN

1. Eowyn, Shield-Maiden of Rohan
2. Eomer, Marshal of the Riddermark

1) EOWYN, HEROINE OF HELM'S DEEP

The existing profile for Eowyn, Shield-Maiden of Rohan within vanilla WotR has been updated for the Disguise rule and the By My Hand Shall You Fall rule. Both of these just didn't seem to have the "powerful effect" of worthy of an Epic Heroine. Furthermore, she was given a second Epic Action, Epic Defense to allow for her versatility. Likewise, the "correct" model is now shown in the profile as well - Eowyn wearing Rohirrim Armor; exposing her identity behind her disguise.

 2) EOMER, MARSHAL OF THE RIDDERMARK

NEW EPIC HEROES FOR THE KINGDOM OF ROHAN

1. Eowyn, Heroine of Helm's Deep
2. Elfhelm, Captain of Rohan

1) EOWYN, HEROINE OF HELM'S DEEP

2) ELFHELM, CAPTAIN OF ROHAN

Status Update for Progress on Profile Creation and Army List Document Writing - Good Armies [Part 2a/13]

As promised, here are the current progress that I have made for putting together the new army lists with the updated profiles that have already been created for the missing models in WotR. It may be a little eye-straining, but the profiles are listed along the left column - grouped by Common Formations, Rare Formations, Legendary Formations, & Epic Heroes (exactly how they will show up in the "books" of profiles for each Army List). The missing profiles are those that are marked purple. Across the top are listed all the items that I am QA'ing (checking for quality assurance) as I am reviewing the files as they progress. The headers include:

• Order Correct
• Name Correct
• Points Correct
• Image Correct
• Image Text Correct
• Stats Correct
• Type Correct
• Company Size Ranges Correct
• Wargear Correct
• Command Correct
• Special Rules Correct
• Updated H2Kill Rule Used
• Monster Striking Order
• Cavalry Striking Order
• Cavalry Charge
• Unique Character/Unique Weapon
• Heroic Actions Included
• Epic Actions Included
• Magic Included
• Profile Proofread
• Borders Correct

Each cell is marked with a Red No, a Green Yes, or a Yellow N/A. If the header item hasn't been implemented or verified it is marked Red, if it is completely correct it is marked Green - and if the profile does not have any applicability to a header (i.e. the profile is not a monster or cavalry) then they are marked Yellow.

1) Gondor & Arnor

Here is a close-up of the profile list on the left:

As you already know (from the previous post) Gondor & Arnor's Army List is 100% complete. When finished it turned out be a 39 page document! Everything has been written and the only remaining thing to do is to create it and secure it via PDF and put it up on the downloads page. I'm considering putting up two versions - one that will be the colored version with mark-up and a second that will be "clean".

The current completion status for the 37 profiles within Gondor & Arnor: 100%

2) The Kingdom of Rohan

Here is the profile list for the Men of Rohan:

The profiles for The Kingdom of Rohan are also 100% complete. Everything has been written and added to the document. It turned out to be 30 pages long with all the profiles included in the PDF. I still need to get it generated via a secure PDF and put it up on the downloads page . Go here to see the profiles that have been added!

The current completion status for the 25 profiles within The Kingdom of Rohan is: 100%

3) The Elven Kingdoms

Here is the profile list for Elves:

The Army List for Elves is now complete. I have updated the profiles for the Guardians of the Havens, Haldir's Epic Hero, Celebrian and Celebrimbor. All new profiles have already been merged into the Army List.

The current completion status for the 47 profiles within The Elven Kingdoms is: 100%

4) The Dwarf Holds

Here is the profile list for Dwarves:

The Army List for the Dwarves is the most incomplete right now for good armies - mostly because they have the most impact for new profiles that need to be merged into the list. The vanilla profiles for the Legendary Formations and Epic Heroes are already in, but there is still quite a bit of work to be done on this list. Truth be told - I suspect that this will be the list that everyone is most interested in.

The current completion status for the 51 profiles within The Dwarf Holds is: 76%

5) The Forgotten Kingdoms

Here is the profile list for the Forgotten Kingdoms:

This is another list that requires a lot of updates. It surprises me that there were never even any profiles for Bilbo, Frodo, or Sam (other than in the Legendary Formation of the Fellowship).

The current completion status for the 44 profiles within The Forgotten Kingdoms is: 31%

6) The City of Dale

Here is the profile list for the City of Dale:

This is an entirely new list. Originally, I had included these profiles in with the Dwarves - but that just didn't make sense ... since they were men and not dwarves ...While the list is relatively short, it is still a pretty awesome list none the less - and with the new models it'll be a beautiful and contemporary looking army on the battlefield.

The current completion status for the 8 profiles within The City of Dale is: 100%

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.

WotR Magic - Updates to the Rules for the Spells of Darkness [Part 5/7]

Here is the final part of updates to Magic Spell Lists for WotR. The last one in the queue is the Spells of Darkness. Ironically it is also the set that has the most changes to the text. Let's get on with it - I know that everyone is patiently waiting for the updates!

The set of magic users that have access to the Spells of Darkness are as follows:

 As you would expect, the Darkness Users are all Evil (with the exception of Saruman in the Forgotten Kingdoms list - again who is still technically Evil). Also, the majority of the users are within the Mordor, Fallen Realms, and Angmar lists.

ON WITH THE UPDATES!

Awesome! Notice that the special rules for Epic Strike and Take Aim take precedence over the Magic Spells. We will get more into this in a future post where we will discuss resolution order based upon the "epic-ness" of the special rules in effect.

Also, as an aside, I've been working hard on compiling the updates for the Hobbit and Warbands models into my Army Lists ... The Elven Kingdoms is about 95% done, Gondor & Arnor is about 75% done, and Angmar is about 70% done. Perhaps in the near future those will be available to be posted and downloaded for your pleasure and use!
