INTRODUCTION
 INTRODUCTION

F rom the noble horse lords of the kingdom of Rohan, to the vile denizens of the deep that dwell within the hidden
reaches of the Misty Mountains and beyond, the War of the Ring encompassed numerous factions, forces and heroes
as Middle-earth was thrust into turmoil and war. Whether fighting against the onslaught of Sauron’s armies and for their
freedom, or siding with the Dark Lord and seeking to bring ruin to the free peoples, the various armies of Middle-earth
each have their own unique fighting styles, heroes and warriors that they can call upon to muster.

Welcome to Armies of The Lord of the Rings™; the comprehensive guide to all of your favourite factions and characters
found within The Lord of the Rings™ films. Within its pages you will find all of the profiles and Army Lists you will need
to create armies from your favourite The Lord of the Rings™ films, along with a series of thematic rules to bring them to
life on the tabletop. This tome is a companion to the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game Rules Manual, which you will also
need a copy of to get the most out of this publication.

the profiles and Army Lists for that alignment, which will help you build your forces and organise your collection.

Choose another model involved in the Combat. Both the

involved in the Combat and repeat the process. Keep doing
this until either the Ent fails to slay a chosen model, or no

challenges his authority; a single punch of Helm’s mighty fist felled Freca instantly. When Freca’s son raises an army to assail
Edoras, Helm leads his warriors in the city’s defence, showing no fear as he uses his great strength and martial prowess to
defend his people and lay waste to any who dare try to usurp the throne of Rohan.

relatively young, Fréaláf is wise beyond his years as both a warrior and a leader. When Helm Hammerhand is determined to
fight Freca, it is Fréaláf who tries to convince him to stay his hand; and when the armies of Wulf surround Edoras, it is Fréaláf
who urges his liege to abandon the city and get his people to safety – an act that sees him dismissed from Helm’s war room
with his uncle, the king scornfully bidding him to run and hide in the stronghold of Dunharrow. Regardless, Fréaláf remains
loyal to his liege and his bloodline and will ride to the aid of Héra in her most dire time of need.

traverse the snowy landscapes around the Hornburg, hunting down and slaughtering any of Wulf’s followers that he comes
across with sheer brutality. Such is the rage that Helm feels towards Wulf and his armies, that he will stop at nothing to enact
his revenge on every last one of them for the grief they have brought upon him and Rohan.

WRITING AN ARMY LIST FOR KINGS OF MEN
Kings of Men are used to represent the many kings or rulers that the race of Men has had over the ages, and as such they do
not fit into any of the standard Army Lists presented within the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game. Instead, they form their
own Army List referred to as the Realms of Men.

When writing a Realms of Men Army List, there are some things to make a note of:

Sauron is the Lord of the Rings and the enemy of the free peoples of Middle-earth. His desire to conquer and dominate is
unending, and he will not stop until he has claimed dominion over all the lands of Middle-earth. Driven by cruelty and malice,
Sauron wields the ultimate weapon in the form of the One Ring, making him all but invincible. It is through the power of the
Ring that Sauron managed to conquer many lands during the Second Age, and whilst it remains in his possession, no realm is
safe from the wrath of the Dark Lord.

The greatest of the Ringwraiths is known as the Witch-king; the Lord of the Nazgûl and the most loyal of all of Sauron’s
servants. Robed in black, the Witch-king leads the search for the One Ring and commands the Dark Lord’s forces. It was under
his rule that the kingdom of Angmar rose in the north, becoming a mighty realm of terror and evil, and causing the downfall of
Arnor. The Witch-king’s very presence on the battlefield fills his enemies with a deep sense of despair, one that can make even
the boldest of hearts tremble with fear. Amongst all the evils in Middle-earth, none, save Sauron himself, is more feared than
the Witch-king – the one they say no living man can kill.

leading the assault upon Osgiliath and Minas Tirith, Gothmog commands huge swathes of Morannon Orcs to crush the realm
of Gondor. Though his martial prowess has been diminished by injury, Gothmog has maintained his position at the head of the
Orc armies through a combination of sheer ruthlessness and a brilliant tactical mind – a trait that is seldom seen within the
race of Orcs.

Mordor for millennia. Over the Ages, countless beings have been ensnared in the webs of Shelob. Yet Shelob likes to feed on
fresh, warm blood, and prefers to inject her prey with a paralysing venom, before entangling them in webbing to save for a

doesn’t make Gorbag any less ruthless, in fact, it is this that allows him to employ a series of unusual fighting styles to fend off
any who would seek to challenge his command and slaughter him. Even when Cirith Ungol erupts into turmoil, Gorbag is able
to fight off numerous Mordor Uruk-hai with relative ease, and only meets his end when he is unprepared and Samwise thrusts

MORDOR WAR CATAPULT..................................................................150 POINTS
When the armies of Mordor need to breach the fortifications of their enemies, then they will employ the use of their great
war catapults. These crude war machines may not look as though they are at the peak of engineering, yet they have proved
to be highly effective over the course of many battles. Huge Trolls load rocks into the catapult before they are flung across the
battlefield. Whether they hit the stone walls or the defenders of a city is irrelevant; anything unfortunate enough to find itself
under the path of a rock hurled by these catapults will soon be broken and destroyed.

COMPOSITION
A Mordor War Catapult is a Large Siege Engine, and is crewed by three Mordor Orc Siege Crew, one of which is a Siege
Veteran, and a Mordor Siege Troll, which use the profiles below:

ISENGARD ASSAULT BALLISTA ...........................................................75 POINTS
The armies of Isengard that assail Helm’s Deep are no mindless rabble of Orcs or Goblins, instead they are a highly drilled and
well-ordered host of fighting Uruk-hai. Alongside the Uruk-hai, huge assault ballistae are wheeled into position, prepared to
launch great bolts at those on the fortress walls. These bolts have two uses: either to impale those in their path or to have their
ends tied to great siege ladders which can then be used to raise them against the fortress – allowing hordes of Uruk-hai to
effortlessly clamber onto the walls of Helm’s Deep.

COMPOSITION
An Isengard Assault Ballista is a Large Siege Engine, and is crewed by three Uruk-hai Siege Crew, one of which is a Siege
Veteran, which use the profile below:

Saruman is not simply content to unleash his armies upon the Rohirrim, he wants to make them suffer and see their kingdom
crumble around them. To this end, Saruman has created explosive demolition charges – great metal structures filled with
black powder that can be detonated with devastating effect in an explosion of flame and stone. It is the whispered treachery of
Gríma Wormtongue that has revealed to his master where these devices will be of best use – the culvert built into the walls of
Helm’s Deep…

An Uruk-hai Demolition Team contains 2 Uruk-hai Engineers, 1 Uruk-hai Berserker with torch and 1 Demolition Charge. The

There are all manner of creatures under the influence of Saruman used as spies by the White Wizard to discover the location

lands of Dunland and have been set to patrol the Gap of Rohan during the War of the Ring in search of the Fellowship. Even
before the White Wizard’s influence, Crebain were used by the armies of Dunland for much the same reason, spotting beings
that were attempting to remain hidden from view.

Helm – and results in a brawl outside the hall of Meduseld that leads to Freca’s untimely death.

Wrot, who see the siege of the Hornburg as not only a source of food in the freezing winter, but also an opportunity to locate
the One Ring and earn the favour of their master. Shank is a slender, more conniving Orc, whilst Wrot is thick-set and dim-
witted, though particularly tough in a fight. Yet it is not just the two Orcs that scavenge through the bodies, Shank is able to
use a guttural call to summon forth a great Snow Troll that can tear through any that threaten their mission.

the game. At the end of the game, so long as at least one of Shank & Wrot

the use of guttural and animalistic calls.

Shank may spend a Will Point at the start of his Activation to use this

THE BALROG ........................................................................................350 POINTS
As the Dwarves of Khazad-dûm delved deep into the mountain in search of riches, they stumbled across a terrible evil buried
within the darkness – that of shadow and flame. A Balrog of Morgoth, a demon of the ancient world, was awoken, coming
forth from its slumber to slaughter those who had roused it. Formed of living fire and wreathed in shadow, this terrifying
creature is perhaps the most deadly of foes that any warrior could face. Able to conjure great weapons of wicked flame, there is
no mortal that could hope to stand against the Balrog and live, and even those of an older power would be sorely tested.

Outside the West-gate of Moria lies a still and murky pool of water, and within its depths lurks a creature of unfathomable
terror – the Watcher in the Water. Silently watching from beneath the water’s surface, this tentacled creature will lash out and
strike at any who disturb the waters, dragging them to the depths or lifting them high into the air before dropping them into its
gaping maw. Quite how the Watcher in the Water came to dwell in the waters of the West-gate is one of the greater mysteries
in Middle-earth, though it is certain to have stalked many expeditions over the centuries, not least that of the Fellowship as
they came to Moria.

over those who would seek to conquer his tribe. Even the kings of the great cities dare not challenge this mighty warrior, out of
awe of his fearsome reputation. When the Dark Lord called for the Haradrim to march upon Minas Tirith, it was the Mûmak
War Leader that led his people to war, riding atop his royal war Mûmak to see to the destruction of Gondor.
