A 0% chance of a Gandalf hero in a Lord of the Rings game... Lol wow.
The Road Darkens (Saga) News!
there is no chance a a gandalf hero either
care to make a friendly wager?
Sure. Saga specific heroes that you can not use in normal games do not count. If one comes out in the saga or the delux or aps to the end of this year I'll buy you a FFG game of your choice and visa versa... deal?
Ok, so I don't know if anyone has considered this, (haven't read the topic complete), but the fellowship consists of 9 members: Aragorn, Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Boromir, Gandalf, Gimli, Legolas. In the core set we got aragorn, legolas and gimli as heroes, and we also got gandalf as an ally. In the Black riders we have Frodo, Sam Merry and Pippin as the heroes, so I suppose that FFG would like to complete the fellowship just by using the core set, the black riders and the road darkens. By using two decks (the three hunters and the hobbits) you get all the characters that do not die or dissapear in any part of the books to keep up with the lore. Using this I could deduce that Boromir is a ally coming.
and boom goes the dynamite
Edited by boooredI had brains once, they are delicious.
In unrelated news, this is the most expensive FFG game that is in stock. Enjoy, Matthew!

And a very good game as well.
I think Ozil23 has great reasoning. I think booored will lose the bet.

Wow! Lol, is there a dragon egg inside?

Gandalf as a hero is a terrible idea.
I brought up Boromir myself a few pages back, but as the one hero. I guess an ally is more likely though. It's a bit too meta-game to build the saga box assuming the players have another Boromir hero, but the rest of us don't want a 3rd Boromir hero. Perhaps we are due for another alternate Pippin.
You guys are all wrong. Get ready for the hero version of Bill the Pony! ![]()
Bill the Pony cannot be replaced. He is lord of hobbit folk and calls no one master. He is almighty and all powerful. He is the beginning and the end of the black riders and the hosts of Sauron. No, Raven, there is no improving perfection. Bill the Pony in hero form is as absurd of an idea as making a Faramir hero trying to follow Faramir the Ally's act.
Sorry, i can't stand without but finally i posted it: the hero of all my life in the Middle Heart!
, snif. Sorry.... ![]()

It is so cute... ![]()
Where is Waldo? In the Middle Earth, of course. He can't be without having walked for there!!!
Edited by MndelaShouldn't you have to search through your deck to find him first? ![]()
Yeah, lol:
Action: Add Waldo into your deck and shuffle it to give 5 resources tokens to another hero you control.
Response: After Waldo is drawn from encounter deck, add 3 resources to the resource pool of a hero you control.
Edited by MndelaOk that's pretty funny, I let out a chuckle at that card.
What about a Galadriel hero? She is sufficiently epic to be the only hero in the box, she'll come with a ring and a cool ability, and she makes sense with where the story is right now. Given their focus on Silvan in the Ringmaker cycle (and her husbands appearance in the first AP pack), it would make sense to get a little Noldor love in this box. And she's long overdue in this game.

And I'd much rather have Galadriel as a hero too.
Hope it'll be her.
Yet the arrows do point at Gandalf me thinks...
Edited by NoccusI squirm when I think of Galadriel as Sylvan. If she's not Noldor, who is?
No she's a Noldor. Don't you worry about that.
She came from Valinor with Feanor himself if I remember correctly.
That's mrs. Noldor right there!
I agree she'd be a Noldor and hopefully bring the trait some synergy. If she's not in this Saga Box, I'll be very disappointed if she's not in the Ring Maker Cycle.
Edited by GlowwyrmGaladriel would be so cool!! We have to eventually get her and she better not be disappointing! And she should be Noldor but then her and her husband Celeborn won't work that great together is would seem... I think it could be her but I think she may instead be in the Ringmaker cycle because Gandalf does seem more fitting for The Road Darkens and he has such an important role leading The Company he'll likely be the hero.
P.S. if they follow the release of Elladan and Elrohir back to back maybe Galadriel would be the Spirit hero in The Three Trials with an ability to help Noldor lower threat since the current Noldor heroes all have high threat...
I just realised one thing
Uruk-hai archer reads: X is the number of players (or something) AT THIS STAGE.
It means, we will probably see quest similar to FoS.

yes good catch! Sounds good!
Frodo will surely get separated from the rest of the Fellowship at Amon Hen, yes?
