spies an interesting 'underground' gaming table.
Mithril Miniatures has been officially licensed to produce collectible metal miniatures from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books for over 20 years.
Mithril's Fellowship Club is an exclusive group of collectors who love Lord of the Rings miniatures and want to customize their collections. They can suggest new ideas (within license restrictions) every month, and then vote on the list. The monthly winning miniature idea is then produced by Mithril in a limited edition of a few hundred, and sold only to the Fellowship members.
In May 2011, Mithril released MS566 Thorin III Stonehelm, a pre-primed metal mini, suggested by Thingol in November 2010.
Story:
King under the Mountain at the very end of the Third-age Thorin Stonehelm was the son of Dain Ironfoot. The War of the Ring began during the reign of Dain, who was slain by invading Easterlings during the battle of Dale.
Thorin succeeded him in these inauspicious circumstances, while the Easterling hordes were besieging the Dwarves and the refugees from Dale in their mountain fortress. When news reached Erebor of the passing of the Dark Lord, Thorin and his army - together with their allies from Dale - broke out of their mountain stronghold, lifted the siege, and routed the Easterlings.
If you want to be part of this club, then you can gain lifetime membership, which includes a bonus figure Aragorn and the Palantir and five Tengwar magazines for just €22.50 EUR.
Mithril also has an auto-shipment service that gives 10% off any miniature purchased through that process. We immediately ship the miniature released every month, making sure that the customer never risks having a new release sell out before he/she has a chance to acquire it.
