As the sun begins to rise upon the fields of Pelennor, the great siege
of Minas Tirith is all but lost… Yet hope has not faded and help is
close at hand. Through the crisp morning air, the sound of horns can be
heard ringing out, signalling the arrival of King Théoden and the Riders
of Rohan. With the hosts of Mordor arrayed in their thousands, Théoden
gives an impassioned speech and leads his men into the fray, riding for
ruin and the world’s ending!
Prepare to enter the amazing world of Middle-earth, and recreate the greatest battles and adventures from The Lord of the Rings™ and The Hobbit™.
In this box set, you’ll find all the miniatures (no less than 84!) and
rules you and an opponent will need to defend the city of Minas Tirith –
or take command of the forces of Evil and wage destruction and war upon
the kingdom of Gondor. Included:
Miniatures
Good
- Théoden, King of Rohan on Foot and Horseback: this character is
supplied as 2 models, 1 on foot and 1 mounted and charging. Both models
feature options for a helmeted or unhelmeted head, and both are clad in
heavy armour, and armed with his sword, Herugrim. On foot, Théoden holds
a shield; mounted, that shield is stowed;
- 12 Warriors of Rohan: foot-soldiers who make up the rank and file of
the armies of Rohan. 4 models are armed with bows, 4 with hand weapons
and shields, and 4 with spears and shields;
- 12 Riders of Rohan: horse-masters beyond compare, renowned for their
great skill and bravery. 4 are armed with spear and shield, 4 with bows,
2 with swords and shields, and 2 with axes and shields;
- 20 Warriors of the Dead: restless spectral images of their former selves. 14 are armed with hand weapons, and 6 with spears.
Evil
- The Witch-King of Angmar on Fell Beast: the greatest of the Nazgûl,
and Sauron’s most deadly lieutenant, the Witch-King of Angmar carries a
sword, wears the Crown of Morgul and attacks with the Fell Beast’s teeth
and claws;
- A Mordor Troll: spearheading attacks and breaking down fortress walls,
this enormous creature wears heavy armour and is armed with a
hand-and-a-half hammer;
- 36 Morannon Orcs: hailing from the Black Gate these are a stronger
breed of Orc than those who man Sauron’s other bastions. They wear
brutal-looking, thick armour – 18 carry hand weapons and shields, and 18
carry spears and shields.
Rules
This box contains the complete, unabridged 208-page hardback
Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game Rules Manual, packed with essential
rules, guides and information covering Open, Narrative and Matched Play
with your Middle-earth miniatures. Everything from the basic
fundamentals of movement and combat through to fielding siege engines
and casting magical powers is here, in an easy to follow format with
annotated diagrams and photographs demonstrating the flow of battle. It
even features beautifully-painted example armies, providing inspiration
for your own collections.
As well as this, there’s a 16-page booklet – this contains the scenarios
and profiles you’ll use in conjunction with the Rules Manual to
recreate the Battle of Pelennor Fields with the miniatures in this box. 4
Scenarios are included to play through – Charge of the Rohirrim,
Théoden’s Last Stand, The March of the Dead and The Battle of Pelennor
Fields – each of these in turn adds more and more miniatures from the
box, increasing the scale of the battles as you play.
Accessories
A selection of gaming accessories are included, necessary for play:
- 12 6-sided dice;
- A 12" Rohan range ruler;
- A 12" Mordor range ruler;
- A double-sided sheet of punch-out tokens, used in game to denote effects and statuses of models.
