Games Workshop has unveiled the highly anticipated starter set for the new edition of the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game. This popular wargame, based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s iconic Middle-earth universe, is set to receive a fresh update.
The new box set, titled “The War of the Rohirrim – Battle of Edoras,” pits the noble horsemen of Rohan against the marauding Dunlending hill tribes. This epic clash ties in with an upcoming new Lord of the Rings anime series.
For those unfamiliar with the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game, it’s a miniature wargame similar to Warhammer. Players use models based on the characters from the Peter Jackson films or original designs approved by the Tolkien estate. This game has been around under various names since 2001, and Games Workshop recently announced the release of a new edition.
The “The War of the Rohirrim – Battle of Edoras” box set contains an impressive array of miniatures:
Rohan: Haleth, Prince of Rohan (mounted and on foot), Háma, Prince of Rohan (mounted and on foot), 24 Warriors of Rohan
Dunlendings: Wulf, leader of the Dunlendings (mounted and on foot), General Targg (mounted and on foot), 24 Hill Tribesmen
In addition to the miniatures, the box includes a 176-page rules manual, a 48-page booklet with unit profiles and scenarios, 2 plastic model Rohan Houses, dice, a themed range ruler, a double-sided play mat, and a quick reference guide.
This new starter set offers fans of the Lord of the Rings universe a thrilling opportunity to recreate iconic battles and create their own epic adventures in Middle-earth.
