Legolas Greenleaf
Legolas Greenleaf, son of King Thranduil and captain of the King's Guard, leads the warriors of Mirkwood into battle.
A skilled fighter and exceptional archer, Legolas provides the Battlehost with one of the most recognizable Elven heroes in Middle-earth.
His miniature also makes a natural centerpiece for a Mirkwood collection.
Tauriel
Joining Legolas is Tauriel, a highly skilled warrior and respected fighter of the Woodland Realm.
Together, Legolas and Tauriel provide the Battlehost with two powerful characters capable of fighting alongside the Palace Guards and Rangers.
Their inclusion also makes the box an excellent starting point for players looking to build an army inspired by the forces seen defending Mirkwood.
Palace Guards
The set includes 20 Palace Guards, representing the elite warriors who protect the Elvenking and his realm.
Heavily armored compared with the Rangers accompanying them, Palace Guards provide the Battlehost with a substantial body of disciplined Elven infantry.
Use them to:
- Hold important positions
- Protect your heroes
- Engage enemy infantry
- Form the core of your battle line
- Contest objectives
- Support the more lightly equipped Rangers
Mirkwood Rangers
Also included are 20 Mirkwood Rangers.
These stealthy warriors are skilled archers accustomed to moving through the dense forests of their homeland.
Their ranged capabilities complement the heavier Palace Guards, giving the Battlehost two very different groups of warriors to command.
Use your Rangers to threaten enemy units from range while the Palace Guards prepare to engage more directly.
A Balanced Mirkwood Force
The Battlehost combines:
Heroes
Legolas and Tauriel provide two recognizable characters to lead your army.
Elite Infantry
Twenty Palace Guards form a heavily armored core for the force.
Rangers
Twenty Mirkwood Rangers provide ranged support and a contrasting visual style.
Together, these miniatures provide a substantial starting collection for the Woodland Realm.
Great for Starting Mirkwood
With 42 miniatures in one box, the Mirkwood Battlehost provides an excellent foundation for a new army.
From here, you can expand your collection with additional:
- Mirkwood heroes
- Palace Guards
- Rangers
- Elven warriors
- Characters
- Specialist units
This allows your force to grow as you explore more of the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game.
Excellent Painting Project
Mirkwood miniatures offer plenty of opportunities for rich woodland-inspired color schemes.
Experiment with:
- Green and brown fabrics
- Elven armor
- Metallic effects
- Leather
- Wood grain
- Bows and weapons
- Cloaks
- Forest colors
- Scenic woodland bases
The contrast between armored Palace Guards and lightly equipped Rangers provides plenty of visual variety across the army.
