The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Yes, and sucker that I am I've already ordered Dain, the Ballista and two boxes of the Iron Hills Dwarfs.

So my understanding on this is that this is an addition to the Erebor list then?

Meaning that you can have Dain leading a warband of iron hills dwarves. but to get more you will need to take heroes from the Erebor list correct?

Im kinda hoping for a "iron hills captain" even if only in rules form and up to us to model.

The models are gorgeous!

Still I find the D8 with the shield wall, albeit very fluffy, really strong. Is nazgul level defense, and is 12 PPM.

Generic characters disappearing? Elite units of your army losing options and customizations? No longer finding that motivation to convert?

It's not really that strong. Just being on regular troops, all it takes is a little focused fire or swarming. As soon as you've broken that formation, they'll start to crumble incredibly fast.

Dwarves in lotr had high armour because of

1) fluff and fantasy tropes
2) there was not reliable 2 or 3 lines shieldwall with spears or pikes (the only was was those weird tower shield + spontoon teams).

Said this, in the Hobbit ruleset monsters can be dangerous to grouped enemies and Erebor already had spears. Or one can try to focus on specific targets allocating attacks in a smart way.

Correct. According to the current rules, the Dain, the Iron Hills Dwarfs, and the Ballista are all part of the Erebor Reclained list. This list previously only consisted of the BOTFA heroes (King Under the Mountain Thorin, Master Burglar Bilbo and the Champion of Erebor version of the rest of the Dwarfs).
