DESIGNERS' NOTES FOR A SHADOW IN THE EAST
The Games Development team did a lot of research and playtesting to come up with the new sourcebook. Find out what went into the Variags of Khand and the Easterlings.
The Khandish cavalry on the charge!
If you want a strong mounted force that can be counted on to get to the enemy intact and deliver a ferocious beating, these evildoers are for you. Watch out Rohan! It's time for a taste of your own medicine.
EVIL EASTERLINGS
"We've brought out a new plastic set for the Easterlings, complete with archers," says the book's author Mat Ward. "Perhaps the most powerful addition to the Easterling ranks is the Kataphrakts, heavy cavalry for Evil armies. Inspired by the armoured steeds of the ancient Middle East, these cavalrymen are more than capable of going head-to-head with the Knights of Minas Tirith. Although Kataphrakts are not as flexible as the cavalry of Rohan, they more than make up for it in durability. Their armoured steeds have a Defence of 5. Thus, bows need 6s to wound these models."
