Games Workshop is bringing back a batch of classic Evil miniatures for the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game through its Made to Order service, announced on Warhammer Community on November 5. The headline model is the Ringwraith on Fell Beast, plus a Mordor Troll, Easterlings, Warg Riders and a sneaky Frodo and Sam in Orc armour.
Published November 5, 2026.
What's coming back
| Ringwraith on Fell Beast | Comes with Frodo at Osgiliath |
| Mordor Troll | Armoured linebreaker |
| Mordor Orc Captains | Two brutal leaders |
| Easterling Warriors Warband | A full warband of disciplined soldiers |
| Warg Riders | Fast Orc scouts on wolves |
| Frodo & Sam in Orc Armour | The Gorgoroth disguise scene |
All of these are metal classics, not new plastic kits.
What is Made to Order?
Made to Order is Games Workshop's way of bringing old models back for a short time. You pre-order during a limited window, GW casts enough to fill the orders, and they ship later. Once the window closes, they're gone again, often for years. If you want one, don't wait.

The highlights
Ringwraith on Fell Beast
The star of the batch. The Nazgûl were once kings of men, now the Dark Lord's deadliest servants, and on Fell Beasts they hunt across the skies of Middle-earth. The kit also includes Frodo frozen in fear at Osgiliath, straight from the films. See the Ringwraith on Fell Beast on Amazon.
Mordor Troll
Bred by Sauron to stand the sunlight and stuffed into crude armour, Mordor Trolls smash through enemy lines. A huge centrepiece for any Mordor army. See the Mordor Troll on Amazon.
Easterling Warriors
Unlike the Orc rabble, Easterlings are trained soldiers from childhood, marching in shining phalanxes. Gold armour, red cloaks: a great-looking army to paint. See Easterling Warriors on Amazon.
Warg Riders
Warg Riders are Mordor's fast scouts, Orcs brave or foolish enough to ride savage wolves, running down anyone caught in the open. Fast cavalry for any Evil army. See Warg Riders on Amazon.
Mordor Orc Captains
Orc Captains lead by strength and brutality, not tactics, keeping the horde in line through fear. Every Mordor army needs a few. See Orc Captains on Amazon.
Frodo & Sam in Orc Armour
Look closer: these aren't real Orcs. Near the end of their quest, the two hobbits wear scavenged Orc armour to sneak across Gorgoroth. A fun collector's piece for any Lord of the Rings fan. See Frodo & Sam on Amazon.
