The Black Guard of Barad-dûr are considered the most fearsome of all the Orc breeds to march in Sauron's armies. Not only are the warriors of the Black Guard stronger than ordinary Uruk-hai, they are led by Captains whose loyalty to Sauron renders them almost insensate to fear.

Each of the Black Guard of Barad-dûr is a sinister-looking model. Each is garbed in heavy chainmail and a flowing cloak. Their helmets are rounded, while the shields and banner display an evil, burning eye. This Commanders kit includes a Captain, who carries a massive shield, a sword raised aloft and who wears a curved scythe-like hat; a Banner Bearer who clutches a banner with a severed head at the top; and a Drummer who carries a drum and brandishing a bone with which to beat it.

This resin cast kit contains 8 components and a sprue of 4 25mm round bases with which to make four Black Guard of Barad-dûr miniatures.
