Many folks and creatures played a part in the War of the Ring: the mysterious Ents, the Dead Men of Dunharrow, the Great Eagles of the Misty Mountains, the Corsairs of Umbar. Fully illustrated by John Howe, one of the world's foremost Tolkien illustrator, Warriors of Middle-earth gives new depths to these combatants — previously featured in the game only as Event cards — making them an essential part of the War of the Ring game, complete with unique figures and special abilities.
As the Free Peoples player, you can now muster the Ents to free Rohan and send them to protect Lorien or Gondor, storm the lands of the South leading an Army of the Dead, or f ly with the Eagles to the rescue of the Fellowship or to relieve a siege. As the Shadow player, you can sail the dark ships of the Corsairs along the river Anduin or the coasts of the Western Sea, lead a horde of Dunlendings to take Edoras or put the Shire to the torch, and let giant Spiders crawl out of the darkest recesses of Middle–earth to terrify your enemies!
Warriors of Middle-earth also presents new mechanics to enhance the game: Faction Dice and Faction Events, used in tandem with the new figures, will open up new and exciting strategies and make War of the Ring Second Edition even more challenging and fun.
