Beornings Rise To Defend The North With GW’s New Models
May 9, 2022 by fcostin
The Beornings are coming out of hibernation! With the Defence of the North supplement underway: bringing Easterlings to the forefront of Erebor and Dale. Warhammer announced during Warhammer Fest 2022 that Beornings will be joining the battle as the next set of miniatures to be released for Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game.
Chieftain Grimbeorn will be holding up the helm. Son of Beorn, this brute is not only a filthy opponent when wielding his axe, but on command can unleash fury, flexing his skin-changing abilities by turning into a fearsome and rampaging bear.

Alongside Grimbeorn, players will find reinforcement in the Beornings. A set of warriors who are more than equipped to take down any dark invader who chooses to cross the Vales of Anduin. Players can stack out their troops with different options of build, varying weapons with bows and axes and heads to vary the masses.

The forces of Sauron better look twice before heading northeast of Mirkwood, not only do they have a set of Ballistae incoming from the aerial talents of Dale that's sure to take down the likes of a Balrog, but the Beornings are approaching to hack through any dark opponent that stands in their way.
With all of the announcements of new content coming to Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game, there are some really interesting units heading to the battle. With Beorn being one of my favourite characters that have dwelled in Middle-earth, and the Beornings being a pleasurable addition to Middle-earth, I am certainly excited to see the Beornings rampage into war after keeping the dark forces at bay down the Anduin River.
What do you think of the upcoming addition of Beornings for Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game?

Yes nice beorn figures is that Gerry with the camel/white jacket?.
Great looking models. Grimbeorn looks so much better than Beorn (in both forms).
Now I DO like these models from GW (they seem to be better proportioned and less “heroic” than the usual fare), they say it’s a new “boxset” in the blurb with extra head and weapons (so I wonder how many will be in the box?). But as previous posters have said “Is the world ready for an army of Gerrys?”
Army of Gerrys? Pure filth! ?
Those are great-looking! Nice and down-to-earth, not overly busy. Dig it!
Loads of made to order coming this week as well.
Are these Canon?
The shaved sides + man bun seem more like 2020 groomed hipster than Middle Earth bearman. Also, the paint job makes them look like they are wearing shinning silk.
i’m not impressed …
Those look really good.
the mark of the bear, huge part of their soul, cherish the life, Yavanna’s children
q1. Do they have GW skulls all over them? NO!
q2. Do they have anything that ties them into any specific system or setting? NO!
If you have answered “NO!” to both questions you may want to consider these generic for various systems/settings… SAGA for example!
Beorn was about the only thing I liked about the Hobbit movies. That and Dain and his warpig. Beorn’s son looks pretty cool although the man bun thing has always struck me as silly.
