The Burning of the Westfold is an expansion to the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game that provides a series of linked Narrative Scenarios and engaging hobby content, allowing fans to recreate some of the most iconic battles the Rohirrim engaged in during the War of the Ring. Will you ride alongside Théoden as he leads the Riders of Rohan into battle for death and glory, or will you side with the forces of darkness that seek to bring ruin to Rohan and see the kingdom of the horse lords laid low under the relentless march of war?

Those who captain bands of Rohan’s armies come from many walks of life. Whether village herdsmen, or the noble lords of greater settlements, these captains all share the same traits – a great skill from horseback, wisdom and patience on the battlefield, and the loyalty of those they lead. When marauding bands of Wild Men of Dunland, Orcs, or Uruk-hai assault the lands of Rohan, these captains will lead their warriors in defence of the kingdom without hesitation.
Inspire the Troops
This multipart plastic kit builds 3 Warriors of Rohan Commanders to lead your Kingdom of Rohan, Defenders of Helm’s Deep, Men of the West, Army of Edoras, Defenders of the Hornburg, Fords of Isen, and The Grief of Éomer armies in the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game. This kit includes one Rohan Captain, one Rohan Warrior with Banner, and one Rohan Warrior with War Horn. The captain can be built with either standard or heavy armour, and you’ll have a choice between a helmet or a bare head. The warrior holding a banner has a choice of 2 heads.
The pride of Rohan’s armies are her riders. It has long been said that the skill of the horse lords of Rohan are without rival amongst the riders of Men, and some claim that they can even match that of the Elves. Regardless, their skill from horseback is undeniable, born out of generations of training, wisdom, and experience. Many a general has been on the receiving end of a devastating Rohirrim charge, only to find their forces scattered and cut down.
Ride For Ruin
This multipart plastic kit builds 6 Riders of Rohan, elite cavalry for your Kingdom of Rohan, Road to Helm’s Deep, Ride Out, Riders of Éomer, Riders of Théoden, Army of Edoras, Defenders of the Pelennor, Fords of Isen, Paths of the Drúadan, and The Grief of Éomer armies in the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game. These swift riders are equipped with armour and shields, hand weapons, and bows. Four of the miniatures include the option to wield throwing spears, and all 6 riders are interchangeable with the 6 different horses.
The Hill Tribes around Rohan are each commanded by their own chieftain who leads their people in whichever way they see fit. Ruthless and savage, these chieftains are the strongest in their tribe and will often gain their post through slaying the previous chief in cold blood.
Ruthlessly Rule the Hill Tribes
This multipart plastic kit builds 3 Hill Tribesmen Commanders to lead your Usurpers of Edoras, Besiegers of the Hornburg, and Army of the White Hand armies in the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game. You’ll find 1 Hill Tribes Chieftain, 1 Hill Tribesman Warrior with a banner, and 1 Hill Tribesman Warrior with a war horn. The chieftain can be armed with a large two-handed weapon or a hand weapon and shield, and can alternatively be built as a Wild Man Oathmaker.
