WAB lists for Lord of the Rings
« on: 14 March 2023, 10:22:01 AM »
Over 20 years I wrote some army lists for The Lord of the Rings using Warhammer Ancient Battles.

I mentioned them in another thread, but I've posted them here so that I don't derail my 1st Age thread.
https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=140505.0

I wrote quite a few, Mordor, isengard etc, but they are now long lost on some early Lap Top hard drive (I wasn't even online in those days to post them anywhere!). These two got printed in a fanzine at the time.

Hope they are of interest.

Nick

Oh my days.

Apologies for resurrecting this Zombie thread, but an old chum has emerged from the Harlequin Miniatures days, and he said 'I've still got your army lists on file'.

He's just sent them all over. I'm going through them now. Amazing.

It WAS necessary if you can get them here.

Gonder vs Lothlorien just doesn't seem right.

'You could generate your own llists...'

 lol lol lol

'No, really, with a little effort...'

 lol  :-* lol

Always nice if something which one deemed lost is reappearing again in some unexpected way  :)

Here is the Rohan list. Have a read see what you think.

I never play-tested these, just didn't have the armies, but I was playing a lot of WAB so they should be workable.

The Allies section at the end is unfinished. It says you can have Wood Woses and Ents, but I never wrote rules for them. It also says Gondor and Elves of Lothlorien as Allies.
Here's something odd I'd forgotten about. I wrote these lists in 1999. Three years later the Jackson movie comes out, I love them but I scoffed at The Two Towers 'Elves at Helms Deep, well that never happened and wouldn't, what was Jackson thinking...'
Same as you it seems, Dyam fool.
