Regular Mithril Range Suggestions (members only)

P.S. More Orcs with siege equipment!

O.K, I think we all understood what this thread here is about. And we understood, that it was the Man´s idea, and this is very kind indeed of him!

And we all know so far, that it is NOT the Man giving the ruling of what is to release next – unfortunately.

For those who are able to read between the lines it is clear, that the Man gives US a preference. This is also very kind indeed of him.

And I for myself feel very honoured about this preference!

Let´s wait and see what is the real reason for this preference, by the Man . . .

So- there are many fellows who suggested many fantastic ranges so far, aren´t there?!

Well, as I recall, efforts have been successful in the past of the putting of heads together to come up with an M series. I remember the thread which lead to the Corsairs.

I’ll have to think a bit. Of course, the given suggestions are quite good.

Spontaneous-ness can never be wrong! :rolleyes:

A great suggestion, Master erchamion. Just read the chapter of the wainriders in the “Lost tales” and thought: wow, this is really a great story.

…. Great ideas Master Erchamion… Vidugavia and family… there could be more characters as you mentioned… but this is simply enough for a first Rhovanion set…. if in some case Chris decide to sculpt all of those ideas there would be enough painting work till retirement for all of us…

As you command!

[large]The Passing of the Grey Company[/large]

(10 Figure series – in the book, we see the Grey Company first mounted, but lets have these as on-foot figures)

Aragorn, dressed as a ranger, bearing Anduril. Aragorn goes to fulfill his destiny. He is weary after many battles and adventures, but becoming the great king and captain of men.
Legolas, wearing a hotch-potch of his Helm’s Deep and Lorien equipment, and carrying his bow.
Gimli, armoured, carrying a shield, helmetted, and grim of face.
Halbarad, an on-foot version of the MS figure.
Elladan
Elrohir – The sons of Elrond ride to war, dressed in shining Elven mail under a ranger-like cloak and gear.
Ranger of the North – a Ranger armed with sword. This should be a very detailed figure, representing some sort of ranger captain or ranger hero. He has a bow slung across his back, along with several packs. He wears a mail shirt. Comprises elements of the Halbarad, Female Ranger and Watcher at Sarn Ford miniature.
Ranger with Spear – a slightly less detailed “soldier” ranger in leather armour, bearing a spear two handed, striking an enemy.
Ranger with bow – a ranger with bow half drawn looking around for foes.
Ranger with sword – a Dunedain ranger with sword drawn, looking around him – as if troubled by the Whispers of the Dead.

The visual theme is the Rangers waiting at the Black Stone for the coming of the king of the dead. They are all prepared for battle or violence. Put them all together and create an instant scene. But there’s just enough action in their poses that you could put them beside the Corsairs for a fight scene in Pelargir, or on the Pelennor.

Finally, one of the Rangers can become a MERP PC type (the singular Ranger of the North) or other “special” figure.

And of course we have variant poses of the soldiers, which can be converted anyway the collector might want. And Elladan and Elrohir looking cool. I am not sure the sons of Elrond should be mounted or on foot. I suspect the answer is “on foot”
