At the highest echelons of the Easterling army stand the Black Dragons, a mysterious warrior cult fanatically dedicated to warfare in the name of Sauron. Within its ranks, many Easterlings undergo vigorous and ruthless training in order to hone their martial skills and dexterity. Should they survive their training, they will advance to Dragon Cult Acolytes, before finally becoming fully-fledged Dragon Knights, and one of the most elite warriors in the Easterling armies.
This multipart resin kit builds six finely-detailed Black Dragon Warriors armed with heavy armour, shields, and either a sword or pike. One warrior can be assembled with a banner, sword, and shoulder-slung shield. Every Easterling army will want a cadre of these vicious warriors on the front lines – they are stronger and more resilient than normal Easterling Warriors, and boast more ornate shields, armour, and helmets as well, giving them a distinctly sinister appearance on the battlefield. These models can also be used to represent the palanquin-bearers of the Dragon Emperor of Rhûn, when he dismounts.
