A mighty warrior of great renown, Elrond has been at the forefront of many of the greatest battles in Middle-earth’s history. He fought against Sauron in the War of the Last Alliance, and bore witness to the Dark Lord's downfall. It was he who tried to convince Isildur to destroy the One Ring for good – an act that would have saved much suffering in the Third Age.
Blessed with the gift of foresight, Elrond is able to provide wisdom and guidance to his allies – and he’s now available in plastic for the first time. This latest kit contains three models – Elrond mounted, Elrond on foot, and a High Elf Warrior carrying a banner. Elrond is depicted as he was during the War of the Last Alliance, at the close of the Second Age, when he was sometimes referred to as the Herald of Gil-galad, the last High Elf king of Noldor.
As a renowned warrior, Elrond has 3 Attacks at Fight Value 6, making him incredibly difficult to beat in a duel. What’s more, His trusty banner bearer can be used to reroll a dice for determining the results of a duel both for Elrond and nearby allies.
The banner-bearer who accompanies Elrond into battle is carrying a standard that bears Gil-galad’s heraldry. An impressive combatant in his own right, he’s wearing ornate heavy armour and wielding an Elven hand-a-half sword. Eagle eyed fans of the movies can see this regal standard in a flashback scene in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring™.
