Héra, Daughter Of Helm Previewed For Middle-earth SBG
December 13, 2024 by brennon
Games Workshop have a couple of new miniature previews for their new edition of the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game. We've seen the Forge World resin version of Héra from later on War Of The Rohirrim but here is the plastic version of Héra, Daughter Of Helm that you'll be able to get your hands on soon.
Héra, Daughter Of Helm // Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game
This is Héra in better times mounted on the back of her horse, Ashere. The set also comes with a version of Héra on foot and the plastic kit allows you to build her with or without her cape. I think a cap maketh a hero so I will probably end up going with that option.
Héra, Daughter Of Helm With Cape // Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game
She takes on the role of a Hero Of Fortitude in the Army Of Edoras and can now be added to your games alongside brothers Haleth and Hama to stop the usurpers from claiming her father's throne. There are still a few more plastic kits that feel like they are on the way, especially for representing Helm Hammerhand before the battle at the Hornburg. We shall have to wait and see what Games Workshop reveals over the next few weeks.
What do you make of this version of Héra?

Her, eh?
It is better than the first model of Helm’s unnamed daughter. I don’t hate it, but it doesn’t really look like Rohirrim attire or armour. Other than that it is a perfectly good model for any fantasy setting.
Give her a boltgun instead of a sword and she’d fit into any leather fetish SciFi setting 😀
You’re not wrong …
I agree. Nice model for a fantasy rpg if you want a foot and mounted version…
But she doesn’t look like she’s from rohan… or any other part of middle earth.
They are going to charge extra for the option to add the cape.
What are you talking about? This is Games Workshop, they’d never do anything like that!
Paint the hair grey/white and you have yourself a witcher XD
Heck yeah, you would! @sundancer
And the award for the least middle earth looking miniature of all time goes to…
HERA!
Seriously what the actual fcuk is that? It looks like it was shat straight out of a D&D players handbook
Nothing wrong with the mini, it’s nice and all – but I 100% agree. It’s just so random.
I mean, I might disagree with there being nothing wrong with the mini. I’m sure it’s lovely if you like “modern fantasy”, which I don’t. It doesn’t look particularly Tolkienesque nor is it in a style that I hold any particular love for.
I could definitely see the new generation of D&D fans enjoying it
