Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game Forces of Evil Hill Tribesmen - 24 Plastic Miniatures

The Forces of Evil Hill Tribesmen is a multipart plastic miniature kit for the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game, designed to provide a substantial infantry force for Evil-aligned armies. This set allows players to construct 24 distinct Hill Tribesmen figures, representing irregular warriors equipped with a mixture of improvised and traditional weapons. These models are intended to represent the wild, untamed fighters who can swell the ranks of various factions, including the Army of the White Hand, the Usurpers of Edoras, or the Besiegers of the Hornburg. They can also be used as proxies for the Wildmen of Dunland, offering flexibility in army composition and thematic storytelling on the tabletop. The kit comprises 226 detailed plastic components, enabling a variety of weapon loadouts across the 24 figures. Eight models can be assembled carrying spears or two-handed weapons, another eight can wield either hand weapons or flaming brands (with optional shields), and the final eight can be equipped as archers with bows. This variety allows for a visually diverse unit that reflects the irregular nature of tribal warriors. The models are supplied unpainted and unassembled on sprues, requiring clipping, cleaning, and gluing, alongside 24 Citadel 25mm round bases. The plastic used is Games Workshop's standard polystyrene, which takes acrylic paints and plastic cement well for customisation. This set is ideal for wargamers looking to expand their Evil forces with a numerous, cost-effective infantry block. The Hill Tribesmen are best suited for players who enjoy painting and converting models, as the mix of weapons and dynamic poses provides ample creative opportunities. They function effectively as core troops in scenarios requiring large numbers of models, and their flexibility in representing different factions makes them a practical addition to any Middle-earth collector's range. The models are scaled to be compatible with other Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game miniatures, ensuring they fit seamlessly into existing collections and battlefield layouts.
