New Epic Scale Five Armies Collection from ROK Minis

A low level view of some of the optional terrain

Body

If you like a slice of epic fantasy wargaming, then ROK Minis have got a treat for you.

Their new Five Armies set brings a smorgasbord of epic-scale infantry, cavalry, heroes and creatures to your tabletop. Those armies include goblins, humans, elves and dwarves, with their respective cavalry units featuring wolves and horses. The heroes feature various warriors and a wizard, and the lineup of creatures include eagles and a giant bear.

The set can be further expanded by a terrain pack. This pack includes a ruined farmhouse, walls, fences, standing stones, ruins scatter and an optional dwarven fortress multipart kit. With Warmaster Revolution available as a free download (other epic scale rules are also available), this set makes it practical to recreate one of the fantasy genres most iconic battles. Combine it with the terrain upgrade, and it will serve as both a fabulous starter set for those of you who have yet to begin wargaming at this scale, or a grand addition to an existing collection.

Although a relatively new name on the wargaming scene, ROK Minis already enjoy a well-earned reputation for producing excellent, epic-scale miniatures packed with dynamism and character. This set carries on that trend. Find out more on their webstore.
