Next up: the
culture. I wanted to do something different with these Dunlendings, so here we have a very nasty horde of Dunlendings with all sort of culture hate and other goodies. We start out with a few
minions:
This guy is a good example of the new Dunlendings. They like to blitz, but they don't like archery.
Dunlending Stormer Minion • Man
Strength: 9
Vitality: 1
Site: 3
Ambusher. (Skirmishes involving ambusher
minions must be resolved before any others.) This minion cannot take archery wounds.
"‘Yet there are many that cry in the Dunland tongue..."'Here's another Dunlending, with some nasty tricks of his own:
Dunlending Skirmisher Minion • Man
Strength: 7
Vitality: 1
Site: 3
Maneuver: Discard this minion to skip the archery phase.
Skirmish: Discard this minion to wound a companion
(or wound that companion twice if that companion is a Man).
Elite Dunlendings were assigned the task of drawing the fire
of the Rohirrim archers, and mounting special assaults.The new Dunlendings will often disrupt the assignment phase by assigning themselves to the
companion with the highest strength, leaving the rest to swarm the Ring-bearer. This minion
also has some culture hate too.

Dunlending Captain Minion • Man
Strength: 9
Vitality: 2
Site: 3
Damage +1.
Assignment: Exert this minion to assign it to an
unassigned companion with the highest strength.
"'…rather tall and dark-haired…'"Dunlending Blitz is quite different from all the other
events in existence.
Do you think
is too much, or too little?
Dunlending Blitz Event • Manuever
Make a Dunland Man fierce until the regroup phase.
"Again the trumpets rang, and a press
of roaring men leaped forth."Dunlending Pike is slightly more orthodox, it discards possessions
and has a slight advantage against mounts.
Dunlending Pike Possession • Hand Weapon
Strength +1
Bearer must be a
man.
Skirmish: Discard this possession to discard
a possession borne by a companion
skirmishing bearer (and exert that companion
if that possession was a mount).
Saruman's orcs forged armor and weapons of war
for the wild men of Dunland.Reviews welcome.
