SPECIAL RULES

Greatest of the Trolls - The Mordor Troll Chieftain that is your General gains the Fearless special rule, and an additional point each of Might, Will and Fate.

The Hordes of Mordor - Friendly Mordor Orc models Engaged in Combat gain a bonus of +1 To Wound when making Strikes against an outnumbered opponent.

Temptation of Sauron - At the start of each Move Phase before the Declare Heroic Actions Step, you may choose a single enemy model on the battlefield. The chosen model must immediately take an Intelligence Test. If the test is failed, you may immediately Move the chosen model up to its Move Value following all the usual rules for Moving, including making them Charge if you wish. The chosen model may not Move later in the Move Phase, but may otherwise act normally.
