Dol Guldur Battlehost

Description

Dol Guldur Battlehost

Unleash a savage Orc hunting force with the Dol Guldur Battlehost, a 32-miniature collection for the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game. Bolg, Spawn of Azog, leads 24 Hunter Orcs on foot. Meanwhile, six mounted Hunter Orcs ride Fell Wargs, adding speed to this characterful Evil force inspired by The Hobbit.

In addition, Bolg appears both on foot and mounted upon his own snarling Fell Warg. Therefore, the ruthless Orc commander can fight alongside either element of the army. Around him gathers a brutal mixture of infantry and mounted hunters. Together, they carry the crude but effective weapons favoured by the Orcs of Dol Guldur.

Dol Guldur Battlehost Box Contents

This boxed set contains:

• 1 × Bolg on foot
• 1 × Bolg mounted on a Fell Warg
• 6 × mounted Hunter Orcs on Fell Wargs
• 24 × Hunter Orcs on foot

Furthermore, the set contains 32 miniatures in total, including both versions of Bolg.

Assembly and Painting

You will need to assemble and paint every miniature in the Dol Guldur Battlehost. Therefore, Warhammer Colour paints suit the project.

Hunter Orcs lend themselves to a rough, varied painting style. For example, varied skin tones and scarred flesh can make every warrior look individual. Worn leather, crude armour and weathered weapons help maintain the force’s savage identity.

In addition, the Fell Wargs provide larger areas of fur and skin to work with. Therefore, Bolg’s distinctive armour and heavily scarred appearance make him a natural focal point for the collection.

Battlefield Role

The Dol Guldur Battlehost combines a formidable Orc commander with mounted hunters and a large infantry contingent. The Hunter Orcs on foot provide the main body of the force. Meanwhile, the Fell Warg riders bring speed and threaten more distant areas of the battlefield.

Additionally, Bolg gives the collection a recognisable leader. You can field him on foot or mounted, depending on how you want him to accompany the army. Together, the different elements create a force built around aggression, numbers and the brutal character of the Hunter Orcs.

Whether you are beginning an Evil army or reinforcing an existing collection, the Dol Guldur Battlehost provides a suitably unruly horde to build, paint and send hunting across Middle-earth.

Note: This product is intended for hobby use and is unsuitable for children under 12. All miniatures are supplied unpainted and will require assembly.
