Bangerang Tolkien Custom


The figure used for this unit is #207 Ringwraith from Heroclix: Lord of the Rings Starter Set.

Character Bio: 
The Witch-king of Angmar was the leader of the Nazgûl or Ringwraiths, and Sauron's second-in-command in the Second and Third Ages. Once a king of men, he was corrupted by one of the nine Rings of Power given to the lords of men and became an undead wraith in the service of Sauron.



BLACK BREATH
If The Witch King of Angmar is attacked with a normal attack by an opponent’s figure and receives enough wounds to be destroyed, roll 2 attack dice. One at a time for each skull rolled, you may inflict 1 wound on any figure that is adjacent to The Witch King of Angmar. Figures affected by Black Breath cannot roll any defense dice. After using Black Breath, remove The Witch King of Angmar from the battlefield.


WIZARD BREAKER 
When The Witch King of Angmar attacks a figure that is a Wizard the defending figure may not roll defense dice. 

FLAIL HURRICANE
After moving and before attacking with The Witch King of Angmar, you must roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 1–10, he may attack normally. If you roll an 11 or higher, instead of attacking normally, it must attack each figure adjacent to him, if possible. Roll each attack separately.

THE NINE
You may not have more than 9 Ring Wraiths in your army.

Helm's Deep Campaign

 A few weeks ago I got together with my Brother in Law and had a massive Heroscape weekend, which included playing peterparkerh's Helm's Deep Campaign. You can find the PDF here on Heroscapers.com. 

It was a ton of fun. We used my customs for Lord of the Rings and then classic Scape orcs, trolls, orges, and goblins. Some of the points were modified for our needs, but for the most part used the campaign rules. 

As with the directions on the campaign we built the map in pieces to play out each of the battles. Below are some pictures of the the maps and the starting set up:










It was a well fought and hard battle but the forces of good prevailed. Maybe in the future we will play the other Lord of the Rings campaigns made by peterparkerh or maybe make our own.
