The Black Gate Opens: Mordor Sourcebook

The Mordor preview promises forces from Barad-dûr, Minas Morgul and Cirith Ungol, expanding Sauron’s armies beyond ordinary Orcs and Trolls.

A plastic Troll can represent either Mordor or Isengard. The article positions the June release as a broad increase in the options available to Evil collectors.
