Orc Wolf-Riders

Next up are two units of Orc wolf or warg riders.  In the 'Hordes of the Things' rules they are classified as 'Beasts' ("including all packs of carnivores... with or without other beings accompanying them as huntsmen, riders or controllers... described by Tolkien as especially effective against knights or riders, whose mounts are vulnerable to belly attack").  The figures are the Copplestone Castings 10mm Orc Wolf-Riders, with one of the bases having a couple of extra figures from the 'Evil Characters' set.  They are based on 80 x 60mm bases, painted in acrylics and gloss varnished.

In the Hordes of the Things rules, Faramir is a 'Hero', and the Rangers are 'Lurkers' (not deployed as formed troops at the start of the battle, but able to ambush enemy troops that enter areas of rough terrain).
