Friends and foes of Mithril !

Those who do not like big battle scenes with only painted Mithril figures, leave this topic immediately!

The others may watch this if they like

I have tried to replay the Balin in Moria story in 5 chapters. This is chapter 1 : Conquest of Moria!
Hope you all enjoy the pictures…

Balin and his army of Dwarves have intruded the Mines of Moria. It doesn’t take long before they are attacked by hordes of Hithaeglir Orcs and trolls. Thanks to their disciplined tactics, they can repulse the attacks.

Chapter 2 : Rise of Balin’s Kingdom

Balin’s Speech to his troops : ‘My brave warriors ! We have driven the Orcs and Trolls far back in our Realm. Soon it will be all ours again and we will bring the early days of wealth and glory back to the Dwarven Kingdom of Moria! Thanks to our courage and strength etc. etc…’

Chapter 3 : The Moria Orcs strike back!

5 years later, Moria still isn’t conquered completely. On the contrary, Moria Orcs and Trolls fight back with renewed forces driving the dwarves back to their most important halls… The chaos is complete and Balin tries to lead his troops to safety.

Balin defends the stairs while his remaining troops retreat slowly to their last halls. Suddenly a big Goblin strikes with his scimitar…

Chapter 4 : Balin’s funeral

Balin didn’t survive the Goblin’s strike. His army brothers have laid his body in a tomb in the Chamber of Mazarbul, where they give him a final tribute.

Chapter 5 : The Chamber of Mazarbul
Part I : Attack of the Goblins

‘Drums are beating…The enemy is coming! We can’t get out!’

[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/1188_100_9034.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/1188_100_9034.jpg[/imgz]

First Goblins are intruding into the Chamber…

The attack is fierce !

The Dwarves must draw back for the overwhelming numbers of orcs. And trolls.

Chapter 5, part II : The Last Stand

The Dwarves hopelessly defend themselves against the fierce attack of Goblins and Trolls, but they are thrown back and driven apart in all corners of the chamber. The chaos is complete!

Less and less dwarves are remaining but they try to kill as many enemies as they can, knowing they will have no chance of surviving this…

The last Dwarves are standing against the enemies. These are their last moments…

The fight is over. Orcs are screaming out their victory. Moria will fall into darkness again…

An excellent ‘pictorial’ illustration of the last days of Balin’s rule in Moria.

I notice some of the shields have some nice designs – are they painted or prints?

All figures you can see in these pictures, including the original Mithril shields, are painted by my hand. I also made the chamber of Mazarbul, with nothing but cardboard.

But concerning the ‘non-Mithril’ shields, I must confess : they are prints…
