Good morning readers,
If you haven't seen it already, there are some new changes that have crept into the errata files - mostly related to Elven heroes (and some of the Designer commentaries are missing). Check them out here: https://www.warhammer-community.com/faqs/#middle-earth-strategy-battle-game. Some of the changes that you'll see:
My initial take: the primary heroes that were targeted by the "must have a Hero of Valor" hero have been targeted here - maybe we'll see that disappear? Alternatively, making Haldir a Hero of Valor allows him to ally with the Fellowship for more thematic play (though Gildor received no such bonus). We'll see what comes of it...

Check them out here: https://www.warhammer-community.com/faqs/#middle-earth-strategy-battle-game. Some of the changes that you'll see:
- Armies of the Lord of the Rings
- Arwen is a Minor Hero (not a Hero of Fortitude)
- Cirdan is a Minor Hero (not a Hero of Fortitude)
- Arwen can be included in a Fellowship army if you also include Aragorn
- Haldir is a Hero of Valor
- If you want the Easterling bonus, you need at least 25% of your army to be Easterlings
- Armies of the Hobbit
- Alfrid requires you to take the Master or Bard in your army
- Arwen is a Minor Hero (not a Hero of Fortitude)
- Cirdan is a Minor Hero (not a Hero of Fortitude)
- Arwen can be included in a Fellowship army if you also include Aragorn

I don't know if I'd say "crept" in. ;)

I had forgotten it was Thursday and so didn't even think about checking for news from GWHQ. Thanks for sharing the link!
DeleteTargeted nerfs = good thing.
ReplyDeleteBowing to community rage = bad thing.
I like the arwen twerk so she can go in the fellowship list.
I was pleasantly surprised with the tweak to Arwen's profile as well - really looking forward to running her with the Fellowship sometime. :)
DeleteI was also pleasantly surprised that Haldir got a boost to Hero of Valor, though with the Historical Alliance change to Fortitude+, he could have stayed a Hero of Fortitude and allied historically with Rohan or the Fellowship, so the Deeping Wall thematic army (and Haldir's Elves meeting the Fellowship on the borders of Lothlorien) were both made legitimate without the boost to Hero of Valor. Still, I'll take it. :)
Autocorrect - of course Arwen only twerks (with Eowyn) in my dreams . I meant tweeks.
DeleteThanks ffor a great read
