Previously featured only as special Event Cards, these forces now become an essential part of the experience. Their new figures and specific abilities add fresh ways to approach the conflict while expanding the presence of Middle-earth’s distinctive factions.
- Ents
- Dead Men of Dunharrow

Warriors of Middle-earth also introduces Faction Dice and Faction Events. Used together with the new figures, these mechanisms open up new and exciting strategies, giving players additional considerations during the game.
Designed to make War of the Ring (Second Edition) even more challenging and fun, this expansion adds new tools and possibilities without leaving behind the warriors and creatures that define its Middle-earth setting. It is a substantial addition for groups looking to explore more varied strategies across a full-length game.
