This is an expansion so you will require a copy of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Strategy Battle Game rules manual, or The Hobbit: Escape From Goblin Town boxed game, to use this expansion.
Now onto the new figures for your collection of Citadel miniatures.
Beorn is the burly "skin changer" woodsman whose home is on the outskirts of Mirkwood. Beorn has the power to adopt the form of a bear that he so uncannily resembles.
The kit contains 3 components with which to make Beorn armed with a two-handed axe.
Thranduil, King of Mirkwood is a mighty king whose realm faces a dire threat in the rising power of the Necromancer of Dol Guldur. Beset from all sides, Thranduil maintains a vigilant guard upon his realm.
The resin kit contains 2 components with which to make Thranduil armed with an Elven blade.
Legolas Greenleaf is the son of Thranduil and thus prince of Mirkwood. Legolas is an exceptional warrior, even by Elven standards. His skill with his bow ensures his father’s domain is kept safe.
This plastic kit contains 5 components with which to make Legolas Greenleaf armed with a bow and 2 daggers. He is dynamically posed atop a tree trunk, poised to strike at any invaders of Mirkwood.
Tauriel is a warrior in the kingdom of Thranduil, a formidable fighter and ranger patrol leader.
Her status makes her an unlikely ally in the Dwarves’ quest to Erebor.
This plastic kit contains 6 components with which to make Tauriel armed with a bow and 2 daggers.
Barrels out of Bond literally contains the Dwarves of Thorin’s Company making their escape from the dungeons of Thranduil by hiding in the barrels and floating down the Forest River.
This resin kit contains 15 components with which to make Barrels out of Bond, containing all thirteen Dwarves of Thorin’s Company, and Bilbo Baggins™.
Travelling through Mirkwood is a perilous undertaking. Mirkwood Rangers show no fear for they are hunters without peer and deadly warriors one and all.
The contents of this box contains 23 components with which to make 10 Mirkwood Rangers, of which 5 are male and 5 are female. You can tell them apart, particularly by the fact that the female Elves have the curved bows.
Each miniature is made in a fixed pose, and they are designed to look like skirmishers. Each model is armed with a bow and daggers.
As always, all of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug kits come unpainted and require assembly.
Have A Great Battle!
