80's Citadel Lord of the Rings Hobbits – Frodo Lives!

picture

Here is the sleepy little village of Crickhollow in Buckland.

So as not to appear suspicious when he left Hobbiton, Frodo bought this house in Crickhollow.
Then he told everyone he was moving to Buckland.

Front left to right: Sam, Frodo

And here are our halfling Hobbit heroes!
They are proper 80s Citadel figures.
As you can see, Frodo isnt messing around. He is wearing his Mithril shirt and is carrying the magic sword Sting.
In our version of Middle Earth, Bilbo had the foresight to give Frodo his shirt and sword right away.
I like how big Pippin is. He really is a bully of a Took.
Merry is a fancy Hobbit.
Sam is carrying all sorts of pots, pans, and sundry supplies.

They are anxious because night has fallen and there is fear among the townsfolk of Crickhollow.
There are reports of enemies nearby. The townsfolk have locked themselves in the cellars of their homes and Crickhollow is silent and dark.
They see dark figures, in the distance… is it Goblins?

Bravo! Brilliant narrative with super photos of the old citadel miniatures. The minis are so full of character and the narrative is perfectly splendid!

So enjoyable. Thanks for posting

I really love those old citadel minis- so much charm. New minis may be technically superior in how they are sculpted, but I fear a lot of the old minis charm has been lost as a result.

MM, I just have to say that following your middle Earth mash up narrative games are a delight that I look forward to when on TMP. Keep having fun and we will smiling along with you. ;)

Brethren,
We worship at the altar that is 80s gaming.
Thanks for coming, see you next worship service!

But seriously, thanks for the high praise, gentlemen.

Cheers,
Mar
