The Points
You can use as much points as everybody agrees on the total. Both sides must use the same amount
of points. But not all of the models start on the table. The Good players must leave all of his Rohan
models in the Rohan reserve. And they must leave Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, the king of the dead and
all Warriors of the Dead and Riders of the Dead in the Army of the Dead Reserve. The Evil players
must leave all of their Harad Models in the Harad Reserves (with the exception of the Named
Nazguls, they count as being Mordor Models like in the Mordor Army Book)

We recommand that at least 1000 points worth of models will be in each reserve pile (so 1000
Rohan, 1000 Army of the Dead and 1000 in the Harad reserves)

Special rules
General rules
No surrender, No Retreat: Until Aragorn and the Army of the Dead arrive, no model on neither side
has to take Courage test for their force being broken.

Epic Battle Forces: Warbands now consist of 1 Hero and up to 24 warrior models.

Special Rules for Evil side
 The Serpent: All Harad models are kept
in reserve like described above. They
arrive automaticly at turn 13 on the
Harad deployement side.
 The Sound of the Battle: At the
beginning of the movement phase the
Evil Players rol a D6 for each entry
point. This number is the amount of
slain warriors reënter the battlefield at
this point. When the Rohan Reserves
come into play, the marker at the
Rohan side is removed and is no longer
used. When the Army of the Dead
comes into play, the Marker on that
side is also removed.
 Horns in the distance: The Witch-king
must try to move towards King Théoden
once he arrives. The Witch-king must
charge King Théoden if possible.
 Wings of Death: All Nazgul (named or
otherwise) mounted on a fellbeast( of
any kind) can fight models on the walls
of Minas Tirith by moving against the
wall as long as it is within the control
zone, just as a model on a siege
Special Rules on the Good Side
 Rohan to the rescue: All Rohan models
are kept in reserve. They automaticly
on turn 10 on the Rohan deployment
zone as in the picture.
 The Return of The king: Aragorn, Gimli,
Legolas, the king of the dead and all
army of the Dead models are kept in
reserve. Aragorn, Gimli & Legolas can
all lead a warband of Army of the Dead
models. They arrive automaticly at turn
16 at the Army of the Dead deployment
zone as in the picture.
 No living man can kill me! Éowyn and
Merry may reroll failed to woun rolls
against the witch-king.
 The king is attacked! If the Witch-king
charged and/or killed king Théoden,
then éowyn and Merry automaticly
pass all courage tests for the remainder
of the scenario.
 Living Legends: Once Rohan has
arrived, all Dol Amroth and Gondor
Cavalry models cause terror outside of
the walls of Minas Tirith.
 Éomers’ Rage: If either Théoden or
ladder/tower). If the Nazgul loses, they
don’t take falling damage.
 Volley Fire! Any group of 10 or more
Eowyn are slain, then Eomer must
charge each turn, if possible, and passes
all terror tests for the remainer of the
scenario.
bow-armed models (not crossbows,
thrown weapons, etc) in base contact
with each other and forming an
uninterrupted chain of models since the
beginning of the Shoot phase, can
declare they are going to fire a volley.
They can do this as long as the all have
the same kind of bow(Elf bow, Bow,
Dwarf bow, orc bow etc.) and have all
moved no more than half their Move
distance in the previous Move phase, as
normal for bow-armed models tob e
able to fire.
The range of the bows fireing a volley is
doubled, but models that are closer
than 18” /42cm cannot be targeted,
being too close for indirect fire
(example, an Elf bow could hit targets
between 18”/42cm and 48”/112cm).
The models in the firing group can pick
any enemy model within range as a
target for their volley. They don not
need to see the target, as long as there
is at least one friendly model on the
battlefield that is able to see their
target.
All modelsin the firing group that are
within range of the target roll a dice.
They score a hit only on the roll of a 6,
regardless of their Shoot value.
After the number of hits from a volley
has been determined, the player
controlling the target can pick any
model within 6”/14cm of the target
(including the target itself) and allocate
the hit onto it, even if the target is
engaged in combat. Then the player
controlling the firing group can do the
same with the scond hit. Thw players
continue alternating like this until there
are no hits left for that volley or all
models within 6”/14cm of the target
have been hit once by that volley.
If friendly models are within 6”/14cm of
the target, Good Models cannot shoot
and must choose another target. Evil
 models cam shoot as normal.
Barriers will count as ‘in the way’ onlu if
they are between the firing group and
the model hit, and the model hit is in
base contact with the cover. Models
inside a wooded area always benefits
from an ‘in the way’ roll because of the
trees and models inside buildings or
within some solid protection overhead
cannot be hit at all by indirect fire.
Normally, model scan be hit only once
by volley fire, but extremely large
creatures can be hit by more arrows.
Models mounted on large bases ( bases
of 40mm radius or more) can be hit
once per Wound on their profile. This
means that, for example, cavalry model
scan be hit twice (one on the rider and
one on the mount), while the Balrog
could be hit 10 time!
