I’ve been a long time miniatures gamer and fan of Lord of the Rings I’ve
been collecting the GW LOTR figures since they first came out in 2001 in conjunction with the first LOTR film. I enjoy
the game and have played a number of games after a new years clean up
I’ve discovered that I have 50+ figures earmarked for my LOTR project
yet not a single one is painted! Some are partially painted from back in
2009, others primed, most simply glued to bases. And to top it off I
have boxes and blisters of miniatures I’ve never even opened! This in
essence is the reason for this blog, to chronicle my LOTR projects.
Box sets from 2001 Fellowship of the Ring and 2002 The Two Towers.
Unopened blisters from 2001onwards plus an OOP Heritage LOTR figure and a Mithril blister.
Heritage and Mithril blisters.
In addition to to hobby projects I'll be including some articles on the lore of the Lord of the Rings and the Anglo-Saxon heroic literature which so influenced its creator.
