The city of Dale has had a tumultuous history in the Third Age, but the brave Men who lead its armies have always been stalwart in defence. Now you can add them to your own army with the upcoming Dale Commanders set from Forge World.
The Captain of Dale is an experienced warrior with a keen instinct for command and fine equipment. Dale grew rich on the trade flowing from Erebor and beyond, giving the city’s defenders access to high quality armour and Dwarf-made weapons.
Equipped with a sword and shield, the Captain is a sturdy lynchpin for the already capable armies of Dale, and is as comfortable rucking it up on the front lines as he is giving orders to his fellow Men. And if quality facial hair is a hallmark of good leadership, this Man could march his troops all the way to Mount Doom.
This highly detailed model – who can be posed drawing his sword or holding it outstretched – is joined by two Warriors of Dale carrying vital equipment long awaited by veterans of the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game. The first is a war horn, which bolsters the Courage of its fellow Warriors. They’ll need it when the Dragon Emperor of Rhûn takes the field.
The next waves a majestic banner. That’s right, no longer will the Men of Dale suffer the injustice of watching their opponents’ flags flying without one of their own, and the extra fighting oomph it provides is much appreciated by the capable Warriors of Dale. Taken together, these models transform their units into an elite fighting force who’ll stare down the forces of Evil.
Join us again next week as we welcome a vicious, hard-hitting surprise that even a dragon has reason to fear. As ever, stay up to date on the latest from Middle-earth by signing up for our newsletter.
