The wait is over—The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim™ is finally on the big screen! If you’re anything like me, you’ve already got plans to watch it a few times to catch all the subtle details (and epic action). But that’s not all! The new edition of the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game drops tomorrow, letting us recreate all the climactic battles straight from the movie with our own armies.
Héra, Daughter of Helm Hammerhand
If you’ve been following the updates, you’ll know we’ve already seen Héra as the fierce and vengeful Bride of Death. But this time, we’re getting a glimpse of her before things went full doom-and-gloom. Meet Héra in her earlier days—proud, resolute, and every bit the princess of Rohan.
What Makes This Model Shine
This new miniature of Héra is a must-have for Rohan fans. Here’s why:
- Dynamic Dual Forms: She’s available both mounted on her loyal steed Ashere and on foot. Whether you’re charging across the field or standing your ground, you’ve got options to suit the game or display.
- Regal Detailing: Héra is posed in a proud, commanding stance that perfectly captures her noble lineage. Plus, the optional cape gives her that extra heroic flair, fitting for a Hero of Fortitude in the Army of Edoras.
- Plastic Kit: Easy to work with, beautifully sculpted, and durable for those intense tabletop sessions.
This version of Héra feels like a heartfelt tribute to the noble spirit of Rohan—a far cry from her darker transformation later in the story.
Why This Is a Big Deal
The release of The War of the Rohirrim in cinemas and the new Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game edition is an exciting one-two punch for fans. With models like Héra bringing the narrative to life, it’s clear that Rohan is taking center stage in a way that showcases both its rich lore and its heart-pounding battles.
So grab your popcorn for the movie, and then saddle up for the tabletop! Whether you’re leading the charge with Helm Hammerhand, Héra, or your own assembled Rohirrim forces, now’s the time to fight for the honor of Rohan.
And remember: the sun rises on a new day for Middle-earth fans. Let’s ride!
