Ride To Ruin With Middle-earth SBG’s New Plastic Eomer Miniature
March 30, 2020 by brennon
Games Workshop has been keeping things ticking over for the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game too as they showed off a new plastic miniature for Eomer. If you're looking to build a new Rohan force for use in-game then take a peek at this kit with loads of options.

The kit comes with options for you to build both a mounted and on-foot version of Eomer armed with different weapons and with various heads too. Above you can see the version of him on horseback with helmet and sword at the ready but you can also craft him with a spear in hand, ready to bring down a War Mumak and its tamer.
With a little bit of swapping around when it comes to the arms and head, you can make some very nice and dynamic changes. I think I'd go for the version with his sword out and helmet off so you'd be able to see where he was on the battlefield at any given time, charging headlong into the action.
When on foot, Eomer is looking a little bit more relaxed. He has been posed in more of a "come at me bro" stance here with sword and shield at the ready before a horde of Orcs. This might be a good version of the model to make when getting him embroiled in the final moments of Helm's Deep.
You can also arm him with a spear on foot too. This particular take on him does make him look exceptionally dashing although I don't think you could really say that they've captured Karl Urban's look this time around.
As someone who has always been quite taken by Rohan within the world of Middle-earth, I am sorely tempted to snap up all of these new Rohan miniatures we've been seeing recently. I have quite a lot of miniatures sitting in a box somewhere which I was going to use to start up a Battle Companies force but never got around to it. Since we're all locked away in quarantine it might be a good idea to break out all those old miniatures and give them a sort!
What do you make of this new take on Eomer?

Aweome model.
Love the new range of LotR heroes, don’t want to knock the old ones as they have their place but this new line is far superior (IMHO of course)

That is a fantastic miniature. I can see me picking one of these up
Good luck with that. GW are locked down and they’re saying uk lock down could last six months.
This looks lovely and I can see him taking a bead on my Mumak mahout at some point. Going on the long list for now.
Lovely, lovely stuff. Can’t wait to get my hands on this one when FW get back online again.
I just feel Eomers pose is used up with Elfheim, it’s the same model..
A big improvement over what they’ve put out in the past.
Awesome model, really like all the different options you get in the kit. Don’t know if it beats Knight of the Pelennor though, still think that beats this new one for me personally.
