Alright, Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game enthusiasts, buckle up because there’s some epic news on the horizon! The new edition of the game is gearing up to drop with some seriously cool updates, and it’s pulling in characters from the upcoming Warner Bros. movie, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim™. This means you’ll soon be able to bring the intense battles of the movie right to your tabletop in ways you’ve never experienced before.
Meet Wulf, the Dunlending Leader
The star of today’s reveal is Wulf, the formidable leader of the Dunlendings. If you’re a lore buff, you’ll know that Wulf is a major player in Middle-earth history. He’s the guy who swears vengeance on the line of Helm Hammerhand after his father, Freca, is killed. And Wulf isn’t just content to sit and stew—he rallies an army and sets his sights on Edoras, plunging Rohan into a vicious war.
We’ve got our first look at Wulf both on foot and mounted, and let me tell you, he looks like he means business. Whether you’re leading a Dunlending charge or defending Rohan, this is one model that’s going to make a big impact on the battlefield.
Wulf’s Special Rule: The Usurper King
Wulf’s deep-seated hatred for the Rohirrim isn’t just for show; it’s a key part of his gameplay. His special rule, The Usurper King, gives him some serious advantages in combat. He gets to re-roll a single D6 during the Duel Roll, which can be the difference between life and death in a tight spot. Plus, when he’s facing off against enemy Heroes, he can re-roll To Wound rolls of a 1, making him a lethal threat to any Rohan champions who stand in his way.
What’s Next?
So, how will Wulf stack up against the heroes of Rohan? We’ll have to wait and see because the details are still under wraps. But with the new edition just around the corner, you can bet there’s a lot more exciting stuff to come. Keep an eye on Warhammer Community for more updates and get ready to lead your armies to glory in this revamped and refreshed version of the game!
