Middle-earth

“I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it's very difficult to find anyone.” Gandalf the Grey

The King of Rohan plays a vital part in the defence of the realm. He cannot, however, be at hand on every front, or in every battle fought in the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game. In such situations, his pages serve a vital role.

Games Workshop have revealed the cover for their next Middle-earth supplement, Rise of Angmar. Not only that, but they've also graced us with a look at the remaining miniatures that will be accompany the book and some of those miniatures' special rules. 

A 112-page supplement, Rise of Angmar details the origins of Angmar, and the Witch-King's ascension and his campaigns against the kingdom of Arnor.

Rise of Angmar is accompanied by a slew of new Middle-earth miniatures. These include the leader of the Warriors of Carn Dûm, Aldrac; Witch-king fanboy and man of Carn Dûm, Fráecht; Aragorn's ancestor and chieftain of the Dúnedain, Aranarth; the evil Shadow of Rhudaur; and Buhrdûr the Hill Troll chieftain. 

This all star / ill-starred lineup is also bolstered by an assortment of hill trolls and werewolves.

See the Games Workshop website for more details, including these new models' special rules.  

A new edition of The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game is imminent.

As revealed yesterday by Games Workshop, this new edition of their popular wargame will feature updated rules and new editions of the Armies of The Lord of the Rings and Armies of The Hobbit. As with the outgoing edition, these will be based on Peter Jackson's respective movie trilogies. These new editions are said to include updated rules and revised profiles for all of Games Workshop's range of models.

Whilst the announcement was pretty light on details, Games Workshop have promised a lot more information and previews 'in the coming weeks'. Needless to say, we'll bring you all the latest news here on Tabletop Sentinel.
