Even as a kid I wanted to see the Heroes of my own imagination represented on the Tabletop. I remember making my own "Fellowship" that included a couple of Dunedain and some Dwarves and an Elf (no Hobbits though), they all followed in the trail of the real Fellowship, fighting through Moria and eventually heading up north to Mirkwood and entering the Defence against Sauron's assaults there and at Erebor. When I started playing MESBG, it seemed only natural I would give them their own statlines so I could include them on the tabletop.
Those characters are lost to time, but as I read through the new rulebook I realised I could do the same against for my D&D characters when I read the entry for the spell Nature's Wrath.
The statlines below were designed to be reasonable, and create mid-tier Heroes. They won't be fighting off the likes of Aragorn or Sauron, but they can stand alongside the calibur of Eomer and Lurtz and hold their own. The points values were decided using the chart for determining your Battle Company's Rating from the Battle Companies book, with minor adjustments to balance against existing Heroes (for example, that chart would have Axel cost the same as Gimli, despite being statted slightly weaker).
To actually be used in a game, they should be considered as part of the Wanderers in the Wild list.
So without further ado!

Until next time.
