This month, we’ve got some juicy details to dive into from last month’s teaser, and another exciting sneak peek at the end. Let’s get into it!
Last Month’s Teaser Revealed: Nazthák, the Orc Captain
Remember that mysterious Arnor banner from last week? Well, it turns out it’s not just any banner—it’s now the grimy cloak of Nazthák, a cunning Orc captain in service of Angmar. Yeah, you heard that right! This banner, with all its holes and tattered edges, is a trophy he scavenged from the fallen armies of Arnor.
Who is Nazthák?
Nazthák has been a loyal servant to the Witch-king ever since he set foot in the northern lands. Rising through the ranks with his sharp wit and knack for survival, Nazthák is a scavenger at heart. He’s always looting the battlefield for anything that might give him an edge in combat, which is how he ended up with his iconic cloak.
So, what’s this crafty Orc captain bringing to the table? Nazthák’s stats are similar to other Angmar Orc Captains, but here’s the kicker—he starts with 3 Might Points! However, he only begins the game armed with a dagger. Now, you might think that’s a downside, but this is where his Scavenge special rule comes into play.
Scavenge Special Rule
This rule is a game-changer! Nazthák can pick up and use the wargear of any enemies he kills. This means he could end up with a shield, a bow, an Elven weapon, or even legendary items like Andúril, the Oakenshield, Herugrim, or the Arkenstone! Just imagine the possibilities. Of course, he needs to kill the hero wielding these items first, which is no small feat, but with Nazthák’s cunning, anything’s possible.
Nazthák isn’t just about offense. His Heroic Defence ability gives him a much better chance of surviving tough battles. This means he can escape death’s clutches more often than not, slipping back into the shadows to fight another day.
What’s Next?
Nazthák is set to be released later this year, and I can’t wait to get my hands on this sneaky Orc captain. But what about this month’s teaser? Take a look below and start speculating—there’s always something exciting on the horizon in Middle-earth!
Stay tuned, fellow gamers, because things are heating up in the Mortal Realms. Happy gaming, and may your dice roll true!
