picture I found the above "1202 AD" vampire helmets and some of the armor similar to this:
link Did anyone else notice the similarity? I am thinking conversions!!! CC |

The plastic boxed set might be a cheaper option for head swaps (particularly on ebay). link CC |

wow it does look like they got LotR surplus. |

Actually, I think a lot of the armour was made by a Canadian company, Valentine Armouries. Here is a link to their Underworld page: varmouries.com/vmovies.html I purchased a steel buckler from them which I use in rapier and medival combat and it's about all I can afford from them, but they do beautiful stuff.

They are very similar in style |

They would work fine as stand ins. I thought the same thing. occultwars.com |

Actually, I think a lot of the armour was made by a Canadian company, Valentine Armouries. Here is a link to their Underworld page:" Horrors! On that page, I noticed that Uwe Bol is making Dungeon Seige. Blah:( I can't believe they are letting this guy make another movie. |

You are right. With a little bit of "horse-hair", the Gondorian knights would work beautifully. CC |

Has anyone tried this since the discussion? If so, any positive results? CC |
| Cacique Caribe | 21 Jul 2007 3:48 p.m. PST |
Ok. Got the Gondorian Knight boxed set: link However, after looking at them, I think they need head-swaps with Elves: link I think they are going to look nice though! CC |

Here's a nice clip showing that interesting armor: link CC |
| Cacique Caribe | 04 Dec 2007 2:29 a.m. PST |
That video clip really shows a lot of detail in the armor and helmets. QUESTION: If one was to choose a 28mm-30mm range instead of the smaller GW LOTR figures, what would you suggest? CC |

Though the prequel concept is appealling, I can't say I care for the armor in the new Underworld movie (Rise of the Lycans) . . . entertheunderworld.com Planned for January 2009. CC |

Great candidates here, for those doing 15mm: TMP link Dan |
