With King Theoden in thrall to Saruman, the ability of Rohan to resist the increasingly

!ithout action, Rohan will fall to the predations of the Orcs and Wild Men, who roam the

most apparent, there are others who share his feelings. Following Eomer's banishment, Hama,
the Doorward of Meduseld, whose responsibility it is to guard the door of the king's hall,
sees the arrival of ,Gandalf the White as a possible chance of restoring the king and saving
:Zohan. While obeying the letter of Grima's instructions and disarming the visitors, he

 PLAYING THE GAME

Tke Army d
The Horse-lords of Rohan are masters of mounted warfare and are rightly feared for
their skills in the saddle. In this Pack, we examine the tactics of Rohan and present
the profiles of Captain Hama and Theodred, son of King Theoden.

O ver the five hundred years since the

kingdom of Rohan was founded, its people
have prospered and grown into a proud nation of
warriors and horsemen. In battle, the Rohirrim
gather into huge cavalry formations known as
eored's, made up of scores of riders. Few races can
match their skill in mounted combat and many a
foe has found itself on the end of a Rohirrim spear
or trampled beneath one of their warhorses. In this
Playing the Game, we explore ways to use the
proud forces of Rohan in your battles and look at
the troops that make up the forces of the Mark,
from the Warriors of Rohan to the Royal Guard,
weighing up the weapons they use and tactics they
favour. We a,lso examine the legendary Riders of
Rohan and such powerful characters as Eomer,
King Theoden and Gamling. Fina!ly, we present the
rules for using Hama of the Royal Guard and
Theodred, King Theoden's son.

.... EORLINGAS
The Riders of Rohan charge into their foes, scything them
down and crushing them beneath their horses' hooves.

Using the forces of Rohan army list from

Pack 18 allows you to design a variety of
armies, even creating a force consisting of
nothing but mounted models, such as that
which came to the aid of Gondor at the
Battle of Pelennor Fields. However, it is equally
possible to have a mixed force, consisting of
Warriors of Rohan, the Royal Guard, Riders
of Rohan and Heroes both on foot and in the
saddle. The figures presented in previous Packs
offer you a good basis for creating an army
of Rohan, with a mix of Riders, Warriors and A" LORDS AND LADIES OF ROHAN

Captains and Elite Troops

Taking characters with Might is important when creating an effective
force. The easiest and cheapest way to include Might in a Rohan arm
is by including a Captain. Rohan Captains have access to all the
weapons of the Rohirrim, including the option of being mounted.
This versatility means that you can include a Captain to lead any
part of your force, whether 011 foot or on horseback.

Lords of Rohan
The kingdom of Rohan is home to many brave
and mighty Heroes and you have a broad
selection to choose from when creating your
force. This abundance of Heroes is one of the
main strengths of the forces of Rohan. The other
advantage of Heroes, such as Eomer, Eowyn and
11leoden, is the option of being mounted, which
improves their abilities in combat. Gamling, in
addition to being an able fightert has the unique
option of carrying the potent royat standard.

Rejoining the Battle Report from last Pack, the foul minions of Saruman are spilling

through the shattered gates of Edoras as the White Wizard seeks to gain total
dominion over the lands of Rohan.
Battle Report - Part 2
In the first part of this Battle Report, the forces of
Isengard, commanded by Richard, managed to destroy
the gates of the city with one of Saruman~s infernal
demolition charges. In an effort to hold back the
tide of Uruk-hai sweeping in through the breach,
Mark sent his Good Heroes racing across the
board to intercept the White Wizard's minions.

survival against six strikes at Strength 3 from the fall were low,
they were marginally better than facing

latest Hero of Rohan in your miniature collection. '

H ama is one of King Theoden's most

loyal soldiers, holding the singular
honour of being named Doorward of
Meduseld. It is he who guards the King's Hall
from intruders, ready for battle at a moment's
notice. Painting Hama is quite straightforward,
as he is very similar in appearance to other
Royal Guard Heroes, such as Gamling.
However, in this Painting Workshop, we will
look at subtle ways of personalising the model.

brigands as well as invasion by its neighbours. The
Rohirrim have had to learn the erafts of war well,
training their armies and their famed Riders to repel
enemies from all sides. They have also built solid
defenees against their attaekers, proteeting their
people with high walls and strong gates. The lands
of Rohan are proteeted by tal! watehtowers and the
keen eyes of Rohirrim soldiers.
In this Pack's Modelling Workshop, we build upon
the techniques used last Pack to create the Rohal)
palisades. Here, we look at ereating both, towers and
a gatehouse to complete your set of Rohan defenees.
