Games Workshop Middle Earth: King of the Dead & Heralds – LOTR Miniatures

Overview

Step into a shadowed chapter of Middle-earth with Games Workshop’s King of the Dead & Heralds set. This plastic kit brings to life a cursed king who answers Aragorn’s call to arms, along with two Heralds of the Dead. Though the king’s form is long reduced to dust, his will and presence linger, shaping moments of cinematic tabletop drama. Use these three Heroes to lead the Dead of Dunharrow and test the edges of your strategy on the board. The set presents a thematic centerpiece for your army, inviting tense duels and memorable battles without promising outcomes—only the potential to alter the tide of a skirmish.

Gameplay possibilities

Although not a guarantee of victory, this trio can anchor a Dead of Dunharrow warband, enabling you to field larger, thematic forces in your battles. The King of the Dead serves as a formidable presence, while the Heralds of the Dead augment his leadership and extend their influence across the battlefield. Use them to craft narrative-focused games, surprise your opponent with coordinated charges, or reinforce a growing undead lineup as your collection expands.
