Welcome Faramir

Which part of Arda do you come from?

Welcome Faramir,
Happy to meet new fellow to discuss about what to do and how to paint mithrils.
Please visit us at the Prancing Poney to share a drink. There is also,good breakfast there made by Nob when he is awake.
Please show us your artwork also.

Bienvenue, Faramir.

Tell us about yerself!

Well – a presentation is in order, as I understand it, so here goes

I am currently going on my 33 year on this planet, many of which have been spent as a nerd.
Mainly in the fields of roleplaying games, comic books, CCG’s, miniatures and boardgames.

Quite fitting, my first experience with Tolkien was The Hobbit (apart from the first volume of the old comic book), shortly followed by The Lord of the Rings, and a few years later came Silmarillion. Having finished The Hobbit, my eldest brother gave me MERP 2nd edition, and despite it being many years since I played it last, that book still holds a special place in my heart. It have later been followed by a lot more books for the system, as well as books for loads of other systems
The same brother also introduced me to MECCG, a game we have spent many hours playing – still got a bunch of extra cards for that game somewhere

I jumped onto the hype caused by the movies, and bought the core-box for the miniature game from GW – still have the rules, and I think they have some great elements for skirmish games, though the miniatures got sold a few years later…
I also played Deciphers CCG, though I still think MECCG is the better game
And I bought the core book for Deciphers LOTR RPG, though that was kind of a mistake, imho…

At some point prior to the movies, I also picked up my first Mithril miniature. I had looked a lot at them in different stores, but hadn’t had the money for them, or wanted to buy something else. But that day, I picked up a Witchking of Angmar, from the limited set, with a dream of one day getting the rest. The dream still lives, and thus the ‘old boy’ is laying in the closet with all of my other minis, still in his box, waiting patiently…

A few years ago, I encountered a guy selling a lot of old miniatures, among those, a huge collection of Mithril models, which I quickly bought, and sadly, that is what brings me here
I’ve had those minis for years, even sold a few of the spare ones from time to time, but now I finally have to realise, that I’ll never find a use for them, as I have tons of other minis I would also like to paint (I’m kind of a hoarder, so there are a lot of other stuff in the office/nerd room as well ). Thus it is, with a heavy heart, time to try and find a new home for my collection. I’ve already tried on Facebook and a few other places, with no luck, so I hope there is a chance in here

That’s short(-ish) introduction to me, and my experiences with Tolkiens world – I hope you’ve enjoyed it

Hello Salun and Welcome !

Welcome on MMP Master Salun….

Hello salun, this is a wonderful place for all those who love Mithril and Tolkien. We have come from many bckgrounds: MERP gamers, diorama builders, painters, collectors, war gamers, etc.; some also enjoy MECCG and the figures and games of other companies.

Mostly here at MMP we are able to share ideas about collecting and painting, trade/buy/sell figures among ourselves, share news, and hang out at Barliman’s Prancing Pony.

Hopefully you keep a few of your Mithrils and paint them. If you do there is a gallery here that you can post them to.

Hello!
Despite of my etruscan (nick)name, I love Tolkien’s book.
When I was a kid, my father, who first introduced me to Tolkien’s world, took me to a famous shop in Milan (Avalon/Stratelibri) and used to buy some figures for me. Recently I’m back to my old hobby (painting minis) and I decided to improve my collection.
Compared to other recent release, I still prefer Mithril design, that keeps indipendence from the movie ‘standards’.
Cheers!

Welcome on MMP Mr.Max…..

Binevenue on MMP. Please join me for breakfast next time at the Prancing Poney.
