finally starts his first Four Enemies campaign.
Mithril Miniatures has been producing officially licensed Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit metal collectible miniatures since 1988.
Every year, Mithril tries to release a new miniature to celebrate Christmas. This year, our sculptor has chosen Broggha, the Hillmen Chieftain. Broggha is a brutal leader, and is shown here with a severed head of one of his enemies. He is gloating over the victory, perhaps even displaying the head to his army.
Brief History:
Broggha was a Hillmen chief of the 17th century T.A. He led the nine clans of Rhudaur and was an unscrupulous political realist, making and breaking alliances whenever he saw an advantage for himself. His title "Targ-arm" refers to certain magical items possessed by the successive leaders of the Hillmen clans. Having befriended and then quarrelled with two Rhudaurian kings, namely Ervegil and Ernil Hallas, he burned down the latter's stronghold, Andrath, and withdrew to the haunted fastness of the Trollshaws. His ultimate fate is unclear.
This is available to our Fellowship members through our Fellowship webpage.
The scale is 32mm, and it measures 42mm to the top of the hand holding the severed head.
This figure is 'antique finished', as it is intended as a special release. This means that it is polished, then dipped in black gloss paint, and the excess paint is wiped off the raised surfaces with a cloth dampened with white spirit. Then it's let dry and polished again. This brings into greater contrast the details of the miniature.
