This special terrain piece (The Dead Marshes) and a Gollum marker will be part of the campaign game. Gollum started as a ghoul figure from Splintered Light that was suitably lanky and stooped over. I shortened his arms and legs then gave him some rags to wear. The head was sculpted from Green Stuff....

This Balrog is based on the vision of the Brothers Hildebrandt, which was published in their official Lord of the Rings calendars in 1977 and 1978. I had both those calendars and they set my ideas of what the characters in the books should look like. Their depiction was much more human-like than mos...

I bought several bags of Falcon brand miniatures at a wargame convention here in Texas and found this unusual set of goats. The line of goats were cast as a single piece. There was a separate figure with horns. An unusual casting choice, but it works well. Falcon figures are effectively out of produ...

What are the size limits for camps? I would assume it is just double what is in the rules but so want to make sure.

The end of the school year was a busy time, but I am back at the painting bench. These are the pieces for a Rivendell camp for the north edge of the game board. The seated figure is Elrond and Bilbo Baggins can be seen wandering about behind him. https://i.postimg.cc/nLbqVdLb/IMG-6624.jpg https://i....

These six stands of Rabble and one of Bad Horse represent the ruffians who lived south of Bree and the Shire. They are mentioned early in the books as people who have been coming north in increasing numbers and ready to make room for themselves if they are not accommodated. They are also in league w...

These mounted Nazgul will be Hero stands, with a dueling value of 1. They will start the six-player game in the northwestern part of the map, near the Shire and Bree. So they will have a small chance to seize the Ring early in the game by moving into contact with the Ringbearer stand and making a di...

Going back a little on the journey: the Old Forest and the Barrow Downs. The Old Forest (in Triumph! terms, a section of Woods that is impassible to enemy Heroes) was made for me by my daughter Alice. Tom Bombadil is a converted Two Dragons peasant figure. In fact you can see the base figure on the ...

Bree is the next stop along the road. Here the ringbearer will find an Inn, defended by the Innkeeper and his employees, along with some of the braver locals. These are two stands of Rabble in Triumph! terms. There is also a hero; Aragorn as a ranger of the wilderness. And of course Bill the Pony. T...

Some Hobbits to defend the Shire. There are two stands of Skirmishers and one Rabble. The rabble stand represents Farmer Maggot and his ferocious dogs. All the figures are unmodified Battle Valor scuplts. https://i.postimg.cc/G2SYD1zL/IMG-6438.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/NM0mL06C/IMG-6439.jpg https://i...
