ADDITIONAL RULES

  • A Black Gate Opens force must include a Mordor Troll Chieftain. This Mordor Troll Chieftain is counted as being a Hero of Valour and must be the force's leader. Additional Mordor Troll Chieftains remain as normal.

SPECIAL RULES

Greatest of the Trolls – The Troll Chieftain that duels with Aragorn is unlike the others of its race – tougher, more powerful and far more deadly.
The Mordor Troll Chieftain that is your leader gains the Fearless special rule and an additional point of Might, Will, and Fate.

The Hordes of Mordor – Countless Orcs streamed out of the Black Gate, and when they fight in numbers, they become even more ferocious.
Mordor Orc models gain a bonus of +1 To Wound in a Duel in which they outnumber their opponent in the Fight. Note that supporting models do not count for either side for the purpose of this rule.
