FRODO BAGGINS (Hobbit) Point value: 30

	Fight	Strength	Defence	Attack	Wounds	Courage	Might	Will	Fate	Movement
Frodo Baggins	3/3+	2	3	1	2	6	2	3	3	4”

Wargear:

The Ring.

Sting: The bearer of Sting has +1 Strength.

Mithril Coat: The wearer’ Defence value is increased by +3.

Special Rules:

Resistant to Magic: If this model is targeted by a magical power and has no Will points to resist it with, it may still take a Resist test with a single dice.

Throw Stones: If the hobbit does not move at all, he can throw a stone in subsequent Shoot phase. This work exactly like a crossbow with a range of 8” and a Strength of 1.

The Ring:

Wearing The Ring: The model with the Ring (the Ringbearer) can put him in any time during his Move phase. As soon as he does so, he becomes Invisible.

Invisible: Whilst he wears the Ring, the Ringbearer cannot be targeted by shooting attacks (and does not count as In The Way). The Ringbearer have no Control Zone while invisible and enemy models may even move ‘through’ the Ringbearer. If an enemy model wishes to end its movement on the space the Ringbearer is taking up, move theRingbearer the minimum distance to place him out of the way – this could involve hopping low walls, moving through foes or being shoved off cliffs.

If an enemy wishes to Charge the Ringbearer while he wears the Ring, it must pass a Courage test, applying a penalty of -1 to the roll for every full inch that the Ringbearer is away from the foe. During the Fight phase, any enemy model engaged in combat with an invisible Ringbearer halves its Fight value for the duration of the duel.

Removing the Ring: If the controlling player wishes the Ringbearer to take off the Ring, he needs to pass a Courage test to remove it. This test can be taken at any point during the Ringbearer’s Move phase. If the test is failed, the Ringbearer must wear the Ring until the next turn, when he will have another chance to remove it. The Ringbearer cannot both put on and take off the Ring in the same turn.

Sauron’s Will: If the Ring is already being worn, then the Good player must test to see if the Ringbearer can overcome Sauron’s will. To do so, he must roll a dice immediately before he moves the Ringbearer in the Move phase. If the player does not wish to move the Ringbearer, he must still roll a dice – but can do so at any time during the Move phase. The roll is made on behalf of the Ringbearer himself so we allow the Good player to use the Ringbearer’s Might points to modify this dice roll if he wishes to do so. On a roll of 3, 4, 5 or 6, the Good player moves the Ringbearer as usual. On a score of a 1 or 2, the Evil player moves the Ringbearer instead of the Good player.

Regardless of which side moves the Ringbearer, he is still part of the Good side and all other actions, such as shooting and fighting, remain under the control of the Good player. This means that when the Evil player moves the Ringbearer, all he can do is move the model, including charging (in this case, the Ringbearer does not need to take Courage test to Charge terrifying foes). He cannot perform Heroic Actions and cannot pick up or put down other items. He cannot be forced to perform actions that would cause direct harm to the model (such as jumping down a cliff…) or be moved off the table (if the Scenario allows). This represents the struggle between the Ringbearer and the will of Sauron.

My Precious!: If the Ringbearer is the only model left on the Good side and he’s wearing the Ring, he counts as a casualty.

• Sting 5 points

Home is the Hero: Frodo counts as being a Banner (also in scenarios, but note that he cannot, of course, be picked up and wielded by another model).

Tom Bombadil	?	?	?	?	?	?	?	?*	?	6”

Wargear:

Unarmed

Special Rules:

Tom is a Master: Tom treats all kinds of difficult terrain as open and always gets a result of 6 on the Jump and Climb charts (some say that rocks and trees reverently move aside to let him through…). Tom cannot be harmed by ranged attacks – this means that magical powers have no effect at all on him and missiles that hit Tom disappear and are discarded. No models can move into Tom’s control zone unless the Good player allows them (this includes models moved by a Sorcerous Blast spell). Tom can charge enemy models normally and his side always win any fight Tom is involved in, but neither Tom nor any other Good model involved in the same fight will strike any blows. Tom and all Good models within 3” of him always automatically pass all Courage tests.

*Laugh and be Merry!: Tom can expand one point of Will each turn.

Magical Powers:

Hey! Come merry dol! Range 3”. Dice score to use: 2+. Tom can instantly heal the body and mind of his friends with simple act of will and a merry song. This power can be used on a single friendly model. The affected model instantly regains a single lost Wound, as well as a single expended point each of Might, Will and Fate. It also immediately recovers from the effects of any enemy magical power.

	Fight	Strength	Defence	Attack	Wounds	Courage	Might	Will	Fate	Movement
Goldberry	?	?	?	?	?	?	?	?*	?	6”

Wargear:

Unarmed

Special Rules:

River-Daughter: Goldberry cannot be harmed by ranged attacks – this means that magical powers have no effect at all on her and missiles that hit Goldberry disappear and are discarded. No Evil models can move into Goldberry control zone (this includes models moved by a Sorcerous Blast spell). Goldberry will never enter the control zone of an Evil model. Goldberry and all Good models within 3” of her always automatically pass all Courage tests.

Tom has his house to mind, and Golderry is waiting: Goldberry cannot be used in a force that does not include Tom Bombadil as well.

*Laugh and be Merry!: Tom can expand one point of Will each turn.

Magical Powers:

Refreshing song. Range 3”. Dice score to use: 2+. Goldberry can instantly heal the body and mind of his friends with simple act of will and a merry song. This power can be used on a single friendly model. The affected model instantly regains a single lost Wound, as well as a single expended point each of Might, Will and Fate.
