Please read the break point rules again you will see the scribe makes no difference because you count dead models and compare to the original numbers to see if you are broken not living models.

The Goblin Scribe has the "Always more where they came from" special rule. How does this effect the evil army's break limit?

I am assuming that either it has no effect and that the number of evil troops killed or fled when reached kicks into effect (meaning that the army is broken) or, that the number of evil troops still on the board are counted? Which is correct?

If Gollum has the Ring, how is he effected by the following rules:
A). “Removing the Ring”.

B). “Sauron’s Will”.

Any goblin spawned by the Goblin Scribe that dies DOES count towards your break limit unless this is ever FAQ'd. Your break point is static and does not go up as you spawn new models, so if your break point was 20, you have spawned 20 goblins and they all die, you have reached your breaking point even if none of your original goblins have died.



A)
There is nothing specifically stated about Gollum removing the ring. In theory he should benefit from the "It has not yet awakened" rule because he has the ring in the same time period as Bilbo does, but he has been exposed for it to a very long time, so I can understand why he would have to make a roll to take it off. (Although Gollum actually tried to wear the ring as little as possible because he felt it stretching him thin.)

B)
If Sauron does not have the ring (and nobody else on the board does either), Gollum has the ring. If he puts it on, he is lost as a casualty. In fact, I'm relatively certain that the Mordor sourcebook doesn't even mention the word 'foe' or 'opponent' in its wording, so Gollum would be lost as a casualty for putting on the ring even if you had Sauron in the exact same army.

Thats actually quite interesting and fits in with my idea of Gollum from the books (clearing off and hiding in some dark hole), I'm keen to see how G.W. clear this up. Also factoring in that this Gollum is from the Hobbit rather than the older version from the LOTR, who is designed as afoil for Frodo.

Any goblin spawned by the Goblin Scribe that dies DOES count towards your break limit unless this is ever FAQ'd. Your break point is static and does not go up as you spawn new models, so if your break point was 20, you have spawned 20 goblins and they all die, you have reached your breaking point even if none of your original goblins have died.

Breaking is worked out by how many models you have left on the board. So if you had 40 to start with, spawned 10 and lost 20. you wouldnt be broken as you still have 30 models left on the board.
