Easterling Mounted Commanders (LOTR - Evil)

The Initiates of the Order of Dragon Knights are those Easterling warriors who, inspired by the example of Amdûr, have dedicated their lives to perfecting the art of combat. Hundreds of aspirants demonstrate their skills to the knights who guard the shrines, but only a select few are permitted to stay and begin the true training. These Initiates are the Black Dragons, who train under the guidance of the Dragon Knights, just as the Dragon Knights once learned from Amdûr. Although they have chosen a life of solitude and only ever take a handful of warriors into their retinue, when the call of war thunders through Rhûn, the Dragon Knights answer – and their skill is so great that they can turn the tide of battle.

No one can still say exactly how the Easterlings came to worship the Dark Lord, but they do, and on countless battlefields, they willingly lay down their lives for him. The most zealous among these loyal followers are the War Priests, who whip those near them into a battle frenzy, in which warriors ignore wounds or pierce the enemy with overwhelming force. Some consider this an expression of the Easterlings' religious fervor, others dark magic – the result remains the same.

From this multi-part resin kit, you can build two impressive heroes for Easterling armies. The Dragon Knight is a merciless knight specializing in slaying enemy heroes, while the War Priest strengthens his allies with sinister magical powers. The kit consists of eight resin parts and comes with 2x Citadel Round Bases (40mm). Rules for these miniatures can be found in Armies of The Lord of the Rings™.

This kit is unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel paints.
