I found an online deal for a host of 54mm pre-painted plastic Lord of the Rings miniatures from around 2004. Mostly orcs and Rohirrim. So after sorting them all, matching weapons with figures, basing the infantry, and giving the old pine-bark-much-terrain trick a try, I have a visually appealing set-up for a skirmish game (probably using Daniel Mersey's Dragon Rampant rules). I hope to gather some LotR fan-friends for a game over the holidays, and I suspect I'll be packing it along for a kid-friendly game at my regional wargaming convention sometime next year. Here's a sample pick, with more at the Hobby Games Recce blog.

Fantastic job on figures and pictures |

Thanks, but the 54mm figures came pre-painted, no doubt at some factory somewhere. They are gorgeous, part of the reason I was so keen on acquiring them. Glad you like the photos, though (and presumably the terrain). Can't wait to see how a gamed skirmish works out with that terrain. |

That's a stunning collection you have there. If able, please post pics once you get a game or two in. I love 54's, and wholeheartedly agree that the larger size is a great way to hook non-gamers into the hobby. |

Do you need mounted Gandalf? I think I have one here. |

I bought a bunch of the bad guys years ago with the intent on gaming but only managed to get an Orc battering ram, a Ballista, a Warg Rider, one of the undead Riders and a few Goblins. Not enough to play with unfortunately. Not sure if I should sell them or look for more at this stage. |

late to this party always nice to see 54mm fantasy! Hope to see more pics of your follow up game looks like you did well getting such a decent collection of lotr plastics. They are a tricky to get hold of these days |
