Group of Rangers

[tolwen]

Would anyone appreciate another non-combat related figure group? Indirectly they would be combat-related, but not in fighting pose, though basically ready for it

The idea would be for a small group of Rangers of the North in their camp. I imagine about 5 of the Northern Dúnedain. One would be in an oversight/watch pose, while three are seated and doing everyday chores like cooking, mending equipment and relaxing. The fifth would be caring for their pegged horses.

Since the Rangers were the elite Guardians of Eriador for over a thousand years and sometimes involved in outright conflict with invading orcs in a wide open country, such a small group of "special forces" on their way to a crucial mission would be really suitable for the Middle-earth theme.

This is great idea Tolwen. You have all my support for such range.

[tolwen]

Very well - the first is already aboard

The idea might be refined a bit more: They might have with them a great dog (I imagine something like an Irish Wolfhound) trained for hunting and tracking and a great help in the wide lands of Eriador. The Ranger on watch would have the dog standing (or sitting) beside him, petting him with his free hand, while he looks out for potential troublemakers

I support absolutely this idea. In fact, one of my long delayed vignettes work with the idea of some rangers around a firecamp playing cards, cooking and fixing items (sharpen daggers and thinks like that).

Sounds good to me , one of Mithril's strengths imho was the diversity of subjects that included non-combat types.

I would love to see that vignette, and dozens more ;-)
