From the exit of the castle through to the end of the horse ride, there are five posts to destroy for the minikit. The Battle of the Hornburg, known in various adaptations as the Battle of Helm's Deep, was the first large-scale battle of the War of the Ring, where the Rohirrim under King Théoden defended the Hornburg from Saruman's army of Dunlendings and Uruk-hai. Inside we find 4 unnumbered bags with parts, a loose die, an instruction manuel, a book with the game rules, and a poster with different possible layouts for the board. A huge host of Orcs poured into the new breach, and after a desperate battle in the Deep, some of the defenders led by Éomer, Gimli and Gamling retreated into the Glittering Caves while Aragorn, Legolas and the remainder fought their way into the keep via a stairway from the Deep to the fortress.

It felt like 'let's get this over with so we can play', what goes against everything a LEGO build should be. While The Battle Of Helm's Deep has been slightly underperforming yearly growth when compared to other sets in The Lord of the Rings, at an average annual growth rate of around 10%, this set is still a decent investment for most LEGO collector portfolios. After moving past the dike, the Orcs approached the fortress of the Hornburg and sent arrows into the fortress. It may be small in size, but it's certainly one of the better-looking old Lord of the Rings Lego sets.To be able to reposition stickers it's a good idea to apply some glass cleaner on the location you want to put the sticker.

Especially with the largest scenario, it feels like you can play this multiple times without getting stuck in a standard approach. Théoden is injured in this chaos, and Aragorn offers aid, to which he requests "Time, as much you can get me. Less than half of the 10,000 Uruk-hai who had survived the main battle had fled into the strange forest, where they were never be seen again, as this was actually the newly arrived Huorns from Fangorn. To do this, Aragorn and Gimli stealthily circle the fortress to ambush the Uruk-hai on the causeway.

The Orcs soon got close enough to Hornburg and attempted to break the gate down with tree trunks, but were scattered by a small attack team led by Aragorn and Éomer from a postern-door that ran between the brink of the cliff and the wall of the Hornburg. Further, the Uruk-hai assault the main gateway in a testudo, or locked-shields style formation, and the 'blasting fire' is depicted as gunpowder.

The valley was described as being blocked over its entire width by the natural series of hills and behind that lay the fortress of Aglarond or the Hornburg, at the entrance to the Glittering Caves. Gimli and Aragorn earn time for the Rohirrim to refortify the entrance, but soon the defenses break down as Uruks fully breach the area behind the Deeping Wall, and all remaining Rohirrim retreat to the keep.

Once inside where they are trapped, Théoden falls further into despair while his soldiers brace the doors, as Aragorn and Gamling deliberate on sending the women and children further into the caves. It features Helm's Deep, the fortess that got invaded by the Uruk-hai in Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers. You can dive into it, come up with a strategy and figure out the best use of the special skills of your figures. One issue with these figures, is that it's techniqually not possible to export or import the printed figures to and from BrickLink.
