Just read on the French site that Imrahil of Dol Amroth will be the Hero for the Journey to Rhosgobel pack! He's going to be in Leadership. Very cool.

Certainly a worthy hero, but not one I had expected to see so soon. Very cool though!

Here's Haldir, looking at one with nature, awesome.

A new card sighting on the French Site. I think this should be with Hunt for Gollum. It's title is something like "Fireside Stories" with text, "Each player draws 1 card" You can try to place the quote if you like :)

The art of Haldir is awesome but you can't have random characters like Eleanor and Thalin as heores and characters from the books like Haldir as an ally with no abilities.And don't tell me that he has the sentinel and ranged keywords cause in solo play those keywords do nothing.

Please FFG give some respect to Tolkien's charactersenfadado.gif.

The quote is translated like : "It is a nice story, also sad, like all the stories of Middle Earth, but it can give you courage". It's from the fellowship so of course the original writing is better if someone want to find it ;-)

A one cost Leadership card which causes all players to draw a card? In a three of four player game the card will definitely see play. Almost certainly won't see play in solo because all it does then is reduce your deck size for the card of one. In two player it is approximately equivalent to Valiant Sacrifice. Since Leadership tends to have a fair amount of extra resources I can see the card being useable.

I like them giving card draw to other spheres as well. Like you said, they already had Valiant Sacrifice, but this gives them more. Awesome with 4 players!

Haldir's not bad either. One of Lore's glaring weaknesses is combat, and Haldir is a 2/2/3 with Ranged and Sentinel so he certainly helps out in that department.

Well that makes Boromir a likely Tactics candidate.
