9474 The Battle of Helm's Deep is a The Lord of the Rings set to be released in June 2012. It will come with Helm's Deep, a horse, seige ladder, one bomb and the Horn of Helm Hammerhand. It is the largest set in the The Lord of the Rings theme so far. there also appears to be an Uruk-Hai Berserker included.
Background
This is where the battle between the armies of Lothlorien, Rohan and the Uruk-hai of Isengard took place. The Elven Archers were along the Deeping Wall with Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, and the Rohirrim were arrayed along the walls of the keep.. However, the Uruk-Hai planted a bomb in the culvert in the Deeping Wall and it was breached, allowing the Uruk-Hai to flood through the breach. All the survivors of the Deeping Wall were called into the Hornburg keep, but Haldir was killed by an Uruk-hai beserker armed with an axe. The Uruk-Hai brought a battering ram up the causeway to the gate and Aragorn and Gimli attempted to fight them off. However, the door is breached, prompting the defenders to retreat to the inner keep. As the defenders barricaded the door, dawn broke, and Gandalf the White appeared with Eomer and his riders. The survivors charged out of the gate, and Gimli blew the Horn of Helm Hammerhand, causing the Uruk-Hai to be struck with fear. Together they managed to push to the Uruk-Hai back, forcing them to retreat. The Uruk-hai are killed by Hurons (ents that have almost become trees), on their route back to Isengard.
