Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game: The Lord of the Rings - Hero - Éowyn & Merry Miniatures Set

This is a detailed plastic miniature kit for the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game, based on characters from J.R.R. Tolkien's *The Lord of the Rings*. The set allows players to assemble and paint the heroic duo of Éowyn, shieldmaiden of Rohan, and Meriadoc 'Merry' Brandybuck, a Hobbit of the Shire. It is designed for use within the game's ruleset to represent these specific characters on the tabletop, offering significant tactical flexibility through its various build options. The kit is notable for its comprehensive parts, enabling the creation of both mounted and on-foot versions of the characters from 23 individual components. When assembled for mounted combat, Éowyn rides with Merry and carries a throwing spear, with the option to model the scene with or without Merry on the horse. For dismounted versions, Éowyn is armed with a sword and shield, while Merry wears the uniform of a Squire of Rohan and also carries a sword and shield. A key feature is the option to assemble Éowyn with either her distinctive flowing golden hair or with a full helm, representing her disguised identity as Dernhelm. The kit is supplied unpainted and requires assembly, coming with the necessary Citadel bases. This product is ideally suited for hobbyists and gamers who collect and play the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game. It allows for personalisation through painting and modelling choices, making each assembled version unique. The dual build options provide excellent value and versatility for army building, enabling players to field the characters in different scenarios. It is a core component for players focusing on the forces of Rohan or collecting key characters from the War of the Ring.
