I just got a hold of the books and I came to find that the fell beasts have a movement range of 3'in. Is that accurate? Also, high elves are a point cheaper now since they come with elven made hand and a half swords in the base profile and Gil Galad has Blood and Glory as a special rule. These additions pleases me quite a bit all things considered. Also also, I think it is funny how Tom and Goldberry have gotten a will depletion handicap as their limiters.

The 3''move is intentional. Its for situstions where they cant fly, ie in woods, caves, etc. In all other cases, fly still applies, which still allows 12''movement.

That is both logical and funny to imagine. Glad they decided to add that detail.

Talking about movement distances, the Riders of The Dead are listed as 6", is that right???

That is the rider without the mount. All the mounted profiles have that on them in case of dismounts. The spectral steed has the movement of a regular horse.

So, do spectral steeds yield charging bonuses? I could not figure that bit out... So versions they did, others they didn't...

They are specifically listed as "cavalry", with nothing saying they don't get a charge bonus. And of course the ghostly horses finally got a defence buff - took a few years, but worth the wait!

Just got the book yesterday and it looks amazing. I really like all the new profiles. One question though. Where I can find all the hobbit profiles or didn't they get any changes?

@Johnny: You can find the Hobbit profiles in the "There and Back Again" rulebook and the "Hobbit" rulebook, both of which now appear to be out of print. Fear not! Hobbit movie trilogy profiles will be in an upcoming book later this year or early next year.
