Last bases are done! Now the whole project is done and my mind is in peace at last.
Rather than forces, what I bring today are essentially characters and monsters. Of course I have to start with the Fellowship of the Ring
 |
| Dum... Dum-dum-dum... Dum-dum-dum... |
Now a couple of iterations of some characters, you know, there were a few different poses depicting them at different moments of the movies
 |
| Along the years that bow string has gone untight |
 |
| Aragorn's cloak is so goos that you can't even spot him in the picture |
The invisible Frodo was quite a thing back in the day, I hadn't ever seen a clear resin mini ever before, and I found it like the coolest thing at the time.
 |
| There's a mini there, I promise |
Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards...
 |
| ...for they come in pairs, and bring horses |
 |
| Ivory and ebony |
Now as a different category, the Witch King, both on foot and on the fell beast:
 |
| It almost didn't fit in the background |
I'm finishing this batch with the monster of monsters and a whole project by itself:
 |
| Grey as a mouse, big as a house |
I got it as a birthday present (gollum, gollum) and I didn't purchase a proper army, shame on me.
 |
| I only got the guys and glued them, so more a moving diorama that anything else |
 |
| But I think you came to see the base, which is the only thing I put some work on now |
With these I put an end to the project. During these latest posts (I mean this one, this one, this one and of course the current one you are reading) I've shown almost everything in my collection (coming from GW, at least). Now that I'm doing this recap, I'll take the liberty of adding the links for the Balrog of Moria, the now no longer existing Sammath Naur and my naive yet beloved Bag End vignette.
Just in case, I also have my puny attempt to reelaborate Thorin and company (through these posts: 1, 2, 3, 4) in a more book-oriented fashion. I have to look for proper minis to do it right.
I have more LoTR stuff not from GW, feel free to delve through the LoTR label!
Fab figures, nicely done. I’m a big JRRT fan.

Thank you! I am too, and I am so fond of these minis!
DeleteA beautiful collection! That original Fellowship set from 2001 is still incredibly good. And I really like your Mûmak - those addional ropes and the fixed riders really make it a center piece!
ReplyDeleteThank you! The Fellowship is still among my favourite sets of all times. I should make a scenic base (Oh, why did I have to think of that...?)
DeleteThe rebasing is great Suber, as is the Mumakil, which has lots of character, and I spotted the proper driver on it also.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Oh, when I got such a beast I knew I couldn't leave it just at it was, so a few Haradrim were needed, and of course the Mahûd. Now it's a moving diorama, I should build an army to march along the Mûmak!
DeleteAwesome looking LOTr collection!
ReplyDeleteThanks! This collection is very preciousss to me... Precioussss...
DeleteGreat looking set, some classic LotR minis 😄
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's been so great revisiting them all! Now the challenge is not buying more!!
DeleteFantastic stuff as always Suber.
ReplyDeleteI do like your Bag End and Sammath Naur dioramas.
Thank you! They both were quite naive pieces, built with more enthusiasm than skills, but I still keep Bag End on my shelf and it's been only a few months ago that I dismembered the Sammah Naur, more out of necessity than other thing :)
DeleteFantastic Lord of tge rings collection!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you! These gave me a lot of joy and I hope they'll see some battles now again!
DeleteLooking good! Those old LOTR models are still really nice. I particularly like the Nazgul and his steed.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's so hard realising that these are "old"!! XD
DeleteThat's it for the LotR collection then. Love love love what you've shown us in this series of posts mate. Must feel good to get yet another project completed - what's next on the Suber-Hobby-plinth?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Well, at the risk of a spoiler, I'll dare to say that it's still LoTR related! My first purchase in many years! Coming soon... soon...
DeleteThanks again for sharing. They are all excellent.
ReplyDeleteThe Mummak is one mini I wish I had, to go with my small force of Haradrim.
Love the clear Frodo. Back in the day we just used an empty textured base, this is much cooler! These days GW would sell Invisible Paint.
I can see I'm going to have to get some more Middle Earth painting done soon.
Haha, invisible paint would be the definite product for GW! "You paint, you just imagine the colour" LOL
DeleteGreat collection ! The diorama for the Mummak base is really nice !
ReplyDeleteThank you! This is the centerpiece of any game and I enjoyed it a lot!
