The Middle-earth™ Strategy Battle Game is the tabletop game for two or more players where you play through the events from The Lord of the Rings™ and The Hobbit™ with your collection of Citadel miniatures. Take control of your favourite heroes, villains, and armies, recreate scenes from the movies and books, and gather your forces together to do battle with your opponent in a test of wits and prowess.This 224-page hardback rules manual is a comprehensive guide to the hobby of building, painting, and playing games with your models - whether you choose the forces of Good or Evil.
Introduction
This section features an overview of the wider hobby of collecting, painting, and playing with your miniatures, from the very basics of choosing your army and the items you need in order to run games, to setting up your battlefield and understanding the rules and profiles you’ll use in-game.
Rules
Here, you’ll be taken through the core of the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game - the actual rules that you’ll use to play:
- Basic Principles: a primer on the fundamental concepts and terms used in the book, this section briefly explains a few things that the newcomer may find daunting.
- Turn Sequence: each turn is divided into five phases - Priority, which determines who acts first, Movement, which covers moving your models on the tabletop, interacting with terrain and using control zones, Shoot, which covers ranged attacks, Fight, which covers close combat, and Courage, in which your models are tested to see if they stand their ground or flee in terror.
- Monsters: while their basic rules are typically the same as those for other models in the game, Monster models are particularly powerful - this section covers their special rules. This includes War Beasts, huge creatures ridden into battle, crushing the foe as they march on.
- Weapons and Wargear: split into four subsections - close combat, missile, equipment and armour - this section explains the variety of weapons and wargear available to your models, and the impact your choices will have on your tactical decisions.
- Magical Powers: some models have the ability to cast magical powers, and this section explains targeting, casting and resisting those powers during the Move phase, with a list of every Magical Power available to cast.
- Special Rules: this section collects together all of the Special Rules which can appear on model profiles, compiled for easy reference.
- Advanced Rules: found in certain scenarios, these rules - covering water features, sentries, passengers and carrying objects - come in handy when recreating scenes from the history of Middle-earth.
- Siege Engines: rules for fielding these immense threats, covering their movement, firing, upgrades and crew (and their ability to launch severed heads as ammunition…).
- Sieges: throughout the history of Middle-earth, many sieges have taken place - here are the basic rules for creating your own sieges with your models.
Narrative Play
Narrative Play games allow you to recreate your favourite battles and scenes from both the books and the films, using your collection of Citadel and Forge World models. Each scenario - found in The Armies of The Lord of the Rings™ and The Armies of The Hobbit™ - has a selection of special rules that balance them, providing an experience closely matching the scenes from the books and films.
Open Play
With no restrictions whatsoever, Open Play games have unlimited creative potential, and are perfect for beginners and veterans alike. Simply get your collections together and dream up your own scenarios - any combination of army fighting any other combination of army, on a playing field of your own devising with objectives unique to your game - the possibilities are literally endless.
Matched Play
In Matched Play games, you and your opponent gather your forces of heroes and warriors from your collection, up to an agreed points limit, before unleashing your armies for the fate of Middle-earth. This section includes advice on building an army to a points limit, determining the size of the games you want to play, Alliances, wargear limits, initial priority, objectives, and Heroic Tiers - the respect and loyalty that Heroes command.
This section includes six Matched Play Scenarios, each providing a different tactical challenge.
The Armies of Middle-earth™
This section is an inspiring showcase of beautifully painted miniatures from across the Middle-earth range, showing you just what is possible when painting your own.
Example Armies
Four example armies showing you how the army was built, the points values it represents and the rules it can leverage.

Not so much.
Size: 11 In X 14 In
I bought this paper for a photo I took and I needed 4 copies printed. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money so I bought this paper as it was fairly inexpensive. You get what you pay for. A professional photographer friend of mine printed my photos as he has a high end Epson printer. He mentioned to me when handing the prints to me that the quality of the print was average with this paper. The texture and feel of this paper is like a sheet of ordinary typing paper. I guess one could use this paper to print test sheets. I will not buy again.

WOW — Stunning Print Quality
Size: 8.5"X14", Size: 8.5"X14"
WOW WOW WOW. The print quality on this photo paper is absolutely amazing. The colors come out vibrant, sharp, and so professional-looking. I’ve tried quite a few photo papers, and this one is easily one of my favorites.
The paper itself feels high quality and sturdy, and the glossy finish really makes photos pop without looking cheap or overly shiny. It feeds smoothly through my printer and dries quickly with no smudging. Every print comes out crisp and clean.
If you’re looking for professional-level photo paper with incredible color payoff, this is it. Such a great value for the quality you get—I’ll definitely be repurchasing.

Great value glossy photo paper
Size: 5"X7"
This photo paper works really well with my inkjet printer using dye ink. The colors come out bright and sharp, and it dries quickly without smudging or smearing. The glossy finish gives the photos a clean, professional look, and the 180gsm weight makes it feel sturdy without jamming or being too thick for my printer.
So far, I’ve used it for family photos, thank you cards, and a few school projects. The results have been consistent, and I like that there’s no watermark on the back so I can write notes or dates if needed. The pack comes with 100 sheets, which makes it a great value for how well it performs. If you need affordable, good quality glossy paper for home printing, this is a dependable choice that makes projects look polished.
