Well Battlehosts is out. Looks fair enough and certainly something I would use where I already have the figures.
However I was really hoping it would include errata or a FAQ? Such a missed opportunity :(

I don't think I've seen an Errata / FAQ in a published LotR book from GW yet, so that's not a surprise (I am disappointed they haven't given us a good one online yet though).

My LGS isn't open on Mon/Tues so I hope to take a look at it tomorrow. Not sure if I'm going to pick it up right away but we'll see...

Either way, I'm glad it's out now so that a larger audience will have a chance to see it and we can get some good discussions going here.

Gothmog I can handle, on a parity basis. Since pretty much everyone gets an underpriced cheap commander.

While he is one of the best of those, I don't think he is anywhere near as broken as some other heroes.

Arguably, the faq confirming Epic Strike in duels makes some of them much worse, it's quite likely that a hero will survive an ES duel if they also have ES.

Thankfully there is Boromir and 'desperate heroics', a store of might so big he can just keep dueling till he gets his target. It's a pity, since I rather preferred the Aragorn model.

Ya well we always used epic strike in duels. Its worked well, it does make it harder to kill heroes. and gothmog always copies it if you use it and calls it if you don't.
two guys i play wotr with collect mordor and gondor and boromir always cuts gothmog a new one.

aragorn is probably my favourite hero but i can't see why they made the captain of gondor better then the king.
