Armies of The Hobbit is an extensive army supplement for the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game, focusing on the forces, heroes, and villains from The Hobbit. From the Dwarves of Erebor and the Elves of Mirkwood to the armies of Gundabad and the horrors of Dol Guldur: this book brings together a large portion of the warring factions from the films.

More than 120 profiles

The book contains more than 120 profiles for Good and Evil forces, including wargear options, special rules, and Heroic Actions. This makes it an essential addition for players looking to build and expand armies from The Hobbit.

Among the Good profiles, you will find units from the Dwarven Holds, Kingdoms of Men, Elven Kingdoms, and Free Peoples, among others. On the Evil side, forces such as Gundabad, Dol Guldur, the Misty Mountains, and Smaug are covered.

22 thematic army lists

Armies of The Hobbit contains 15 Good Army Lists and 7 Evil Army Lists. These allow you to assemble thematic forces centered around famous events and locations such as Erebor, Lake-town, Dale, Mirkwood, Goblin-town, and Dol Guldur.

Armies such as Thorin's Company, Iron Hills, Halls of Thranduil, The Battle of Five Armies, Army of Gundabad, Azog's Hunters, and Rise of the Necromancer receive their own army structures and additional rules.

For players and army builders

In addition to rules, the book contains background information, photography, and inspiration for assembling thematic Middle-earth armies. This makes it useful both when building an army list and when planning a new collection based on a specific faction or event from The Hobbit.

To use this supplement, the separately available Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game Rules Manual is required.
