Ringwraiths Return & Ringbearers Vanish In Middle-earth SBG
September 13, 2019 by brennon
Games Workshop dropped a few little morsels of information for those diving into the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game this week as they talked about the return of some classic models and the addition of a new set for events. So, we'll kick off with some invisible miniatures!
This Ringbearer Set comes with translucent versions of each of the different heroes and villains from the world of Middle-earth who carried The One Ring. The set contains Frodo, Old Bilbo, Young Bilbo, Gollum and Isildur.
I think this is a neat idea but it might have been cooler to have them just presented as sculpted bases instead? Those might have got a little lost on the tabletop though after a while. Either way, the set is available from Warhammer World whilst stocks last and at events which Games Workshop attends.
Ringwraiths Are Abroad
So, one of the additional bits of big news was that the full selection of named Ringwraiths is going to be available on their webstore soon enough. A lot of them already exist like...
The Witch King
The Tainted
The Knight Of Umbar
The Betrayer
Khamul The Easterling
The Dwimmerlaik
...but three of them haven't been up on their webstore for a while so they are going to be returning for you to use in your games. The returning three will be the...
The Undying
The Shadow Lord
The Dark Marshal
This then gives you the chance to use each of these updated takes on The Nazgul for your games. I really did like the look of their original Nazgul which attacked The Fellowship on Weathertop but it was a bit hard to tell the models apart. However, if you dived in and picked up each of these characters instead you'd have a very dynamic looking collection of evil foes descending on the poor Hobbits!
I am consistently ushered back towards the awesome world of Middle-earth but I have to find someone to push me over the edge...

I got one of the old invisible Frodo miniatures, it’s nice but nothing too special.
Ringwraiths are always good and Khamul, the Betrayer and the Dark Marshal are really good.
I like the idea of clear resin miniatures. What i’d really like to see are some clear, or translucent, Dead Men of Dunharrow.
Those look really good and idea of using clear resin is something that we haven’t really seen.
Ooh nice love the shadow realm ones.
