Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game: Forces of Evil The Scouring of The Shire Miniature Set

The Forces of Evil: The Scouring of The Shire is a specialist miniature set for the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game, a tabletop wargame set in J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy universe. This pack focuses on the climactic confrontation in the Shire from the conclusion of 'The Lord of the Rings', allowing players to recreate the final battle against Saruman's ruffians on their own gaming table. The set is part of Games Workshop's Direct Only retail range, meaning it is manufactured to order rather than being stocked in general retail stores. The pack contains eight finely detailed metal components to assemble six key characters: Sharkey (Saruman), Worm, Frodo of the Nine Fingers, Samwise the Brave, Peregrin Took as Captain of the Shire, and Meriadoc Brandybuck as Captain of the Shire. The miniatures are supplied unpainted and unassembled, providing hobbyists with the classic modelling experience of cleaning, assembling, and painting their own figures. The kit includes four 40mm round bases and two 25mm round bases, appropriate for the different character sizes and poses. The metal construction allows for crisp detail and durability, though it requires careful handling during assembly. This set is ideal for collectors and gamers who want to expand their Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game collection with a specific narrative scenario. It is best suited for experienced hobbyists comfortable with assembling metal miniatures, as they require glue and potentially some minor preparation like filing mould lines. The figures represent a unique moment in the lore, making them particularly appealing for players who enjoy thematic games or completing a collection of characters from the entire story arc. Once painted, these miniatures can serve as centrepiece models for a Shire-themed force or as characters in a specific scenario replaying the Scouring of the Shire.
