Get ready to dive into the historical conflicts of Rohan! The kingdom of the horse-lords has a past marked by bloody wars, and the scars are still open. On one side, the restless dead of the marshes to the East; on the other, the deep grudge of the Dunlendings to the West. Meanwhile, in the shadows, a greedy enemy weaves a dangerous conspiracy that threatens to plunge the region into chaos once again. It's up to you and your fellow heroes to uncover this sinister plot before it's too late.
The 'Scourges of the Wastes Figure Pack' is not a standalone game, but rather an essential upgrade for those who want to add more life and depth to their adventures in Middle-earth. This figure pack was specifically designed to boost the 'Spreading War' campaign and the 'Poison Promise' downloadable campaign. The main highlight here are the three beautifully sculpted miniatures, representing the primary villains of these stories, bringing the threat to the table with impressive detail.
But it's not just about looks! The pack also adds five new item cards to equip your heroes and, most importantly, a new role that can be used in any Journeys in Middle-earth adventure. This means you gain more strategic versatility and new ways to interact with the deck-building and resource management mechanics of the base game. If you're already a fan of the cooperative experience and want your scenarios to have that 'epic' touch with imposing villains and new gear, this pack is the missing piece in your collection. It's the perfect chance to make the fight for Rohan's survival even more immersive and challenging.
