Dernhelm
(Rule)Description: Note that Dernhelm is, in fact, Éowyn, and that Merry is mounted on her horse alongside her. If your army includes Dernhelm, then it may naturally not also include Éowyn or Merry of any other variety.
Dernhelm is a special profile that enables you to use Éowyn and Merry together as depicted in the movies and books, and even allows you to use the rules for Passengers for this pair in your Matched Play games.
‘Dernhelm’ is Éowyn, Shield Maiden of Rohan with armour and shield, with Meriadoc Brandybuck, Knight of the Mark with shield mounted as a passenger upon her horse. Both will always start mounted and together.
Whilst mounted, Dernhelm will follow all of the rules provided on these pages rather than the ones presented in Éowyn’s profile; however, should Dernhelm become dismounted, revert to the profile and wargear listed above for Éowyn and use them from this point forwards. Any Wounds suffered, or Might, Will and Fate points spent by Dernhelm will carry over to Éowyn’s profile.
