Hi!

All new to the game I have ordered the MoM box that will arrive on Friday. But when I been reading here I came across stuff abaout warbands and I´m a bit confused what to get next. I´m thinking of waiting to buy the big rulebook for a while and spend money on minis instead. Do I´m thinking of buying the Free peoples book since I wanna make a Durin´s folk army.

Now to the real question finally :) In what book can I read the rules for warbands? (not army list and so but the rules on how to play the game using warbands)

Any of the sourcebooks (Kingdoms of Men, Free peoples etc) has the warband rules in. The MoM rulebook is good for basics but I would recommend picking up either version of the new hobbit rulebook. A quick ebay search should bring up plenty of the small hobbit books from the starter set.

Thanks! Good thing I alredy decided to get The Free Peoples sourcebook then!

I will probably waith for a few months before picking up the Hobbit book, i will start just playing games with friends and learn the basic rules and concentrate on building an army and the get the latest rules when I feel confident.

Thanks for the help!

surely it is best to learn the latest rules from the off? and the mini book shouldnt be more than £20 which is the price of the sourcebooks.

You will also be happy to know that the small rulebook which Southern Dunedain is refering to also has the rules for playing with warbands.

Yeah get the new version first, otherwise you'll be thrown off when you play with them. The new rules have changed the basics from the old set. I would army build, and get the small starter hobbit rulebook or save up to get the hardback

Hm, I didn't know there were big changes to the basics of the game.
Then I will probably do as you suggest and get the new rulebook. Are all the profiles for old Lotr models included in the hardback hobbitbook?

Thanks for the advise guys!

The profiles included in the new hardback are the ones from the first movie. But combined with The Free Peoples sourcebook you will have all the profiles you need for a Dwarven army.

Thanks!

I will get the hobbit book in a month or so and then the free peoples after I finish painting up my current minis. Don´t have time to read anyway :)
