Héra Mini Revealed For War Of The Rohirrim & Middle-earth SBG

November 29, 2024 by brennon

One character has been missing from the previews for the new War Of The Rohirrim line-up and the latest edition of the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game. Héra, daughter of Helm, has now popped up, ready to take the fight to Wulf and the Usurpers Of Rohan.

Héra, The Bride Of Death // Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game

As the youngest child of Helm Hammerhand and his only daughter, Héra finds herself in the middle of the brewing feud between the Lords of Roha with Freca and Wulf lighting the fire. You can see her represented here in her bridal white, ready to act as an avenging warrior with sword and shield at the ready.

I must admit that I have been looking forward to seeing the miniature for Héra since the announcement of the War Of The Rohirrim range and I find myself a little disappointed. I've found the other miniatures that have been revealed fantastic, packed with detail and looking like a great halfway house between the classic Middle-earth aesthetic and that of the new anime movie.

Something about Héra seems a bit lacking. I don't feel like she looks particularly like her character from the movie but then again maybe that's a hard balance to achieve for the sculptors? I am in two minds!
