I'll cut to the chase: I'm really dissatisfied with GW. I have the Escape From Goblin-Town set, which gives me, as you know, all the rules for the game, with the exception of the profiles and points costs; and that's my point; I am only interested in the rules for the Army of Thror, and I'm not willing to pay through the nose for them. Of course, if absolutely necessary, I could counts-as for a while, using the Durin's Folk army list, but I'd really rather not. So, what do you suggest?

If you want thier profiles and points without GW overpriced book then I'd recomend you use Lonely knight's army builder 8)

If you select the units you want, it'll come up with all the profiles and special rules in the 2 very last pages

Jup, many are waiting for a Journeybook of some sort to get their hands on a book with the profiles that isn't as expensive (and somewhat redundant) as the hardcover rulebook...

I've used the LK army builder, but sadly I could only get the base points costs for the models, without profiles or costs of upgrades (although that may just be because I'm useless with Excel XD)

Read the instructions on the first tab. You select wargear by putting a '1' in the appropriate gear option box and that will calculate the points correctly. When you go to the Evil or Good tab at the end to print your list you will have basic profile data in addition to the army list grouped by warbands. It gives some info on any special rules the models have but does not detail spells or standard wargear.

1. select the units you want
2. scroll to the end 2 pages of the document (called evil and good army lists)
3. scroll down
4 then you should see the special rules and stuff

hope this helps
