Young Thorin, Balin & Dwalin (Hobbit - Good)

As Prince of Erebor, Thorin held a respected and honourable position amongst the Dwarven hosts that marched to war on behalf of his grandfather. Even as a youth, Thorin possessed impressive martial prowess and the courage to match it. This served him greatly when Smaug brought terrible devastation to his home, and even more so in the great Battle of Moria many years later. In that battle, when all hope seemed lost and the line of Durin faced annihilation, Thorin stood firm against the odds, earning himself the name 'Oakenshield'.

Thorin’s capable companion and comrade-in-arms, Dwalin, is one of the most capable fighters and perhaps the strongest Dwarf in all of Erebor. When Thorin escaped Smaug’s wrath, Dwalin and his brother Balin were at his side, and they remained so years later at the Battle of Moria. In close combat, there is no Dwarf more unhesitatingly violent than Dwalin, and when armed with his pair of axes, ‘Grasper’ and ‘Keeper’, he can exact a bloody toll from his foe.

Wherever Dwalin travelled, his elder brother Balin was sure to be found. Already wise in his youth, Balin was the sort of Dwarf others would seek out for learned counsel, though he was not lacking in skill at arms. At the Battle of Azanulbizar, Balin joined Thorin in rallying the wavering Dwarf hosts, storming the corpse-strewn slopes alongside his beloved kin to victory.

Thorin, Dwalin, and Balin are the greatest Heroes available to the Erebor Reclaimed army list. Thorin carries a sword and an improvised shield of oak, from which he later earned his name, whilst Dwalin wields his trusty pair of axes and Balin his sword-mace.

This set contains three resin miniatures – Thorin, Dwalin, and Balin in their youth – and are supplied with 3 Citadel 25mm Round Bases. Their rules can be found in Armies of The Hobbit™.
