[Thingol]

Duinhir the lord of the Blackroot Vale mounted with lowered flag....

Riding a horse front of the a contingent of five hundred bowmen on the way to the Minas Tirith....

[barliman]

Well, he failed by the narrowest of margins last time, so I shall make my usual suggestion for a mounted figure month:

Elfhelm on horseback

As I've said many times before (stop me if I'm boring you), Elfhelm was the only Rohirrim commander to fight at - and survive - both battles at the Fords of Isen and the battle of Pelennor Fields, and was commander of the Rohirrim detachment that drove the Orcs out of Anorien as Aragorn led the rest of the host to the Black Gates. He was also very kind to kittens and small children, if that helps earn him some more votes this time...

[Axel]

The
King of the Haradrim,
as he charges toward Theoden.

[Mornedhel]

Merry sounds the horn of Rohan

New attempt

We already own 3 32m Merry figures but not mounted.

[Gildor]

well once again ...

King Elessar mounted at the Dark Gate (Morannon)

This would be the final assault of the armies of Good , led by Aragorn in his king of Gondor armor , supreme leader of all the free people armies, facing the last assault on Cirith Gorgor (the dark Gate of Mordor)
As far as I remember, there are not many representations of Aragorn mounted...

(third or fourth time I suggest it , if I remember well...)

[erchamion]

Beechbone in flame with an uruk crushed under foot

I recover this my vintage figure idea adding orc

Represents the Ent in battle after the attack on Isengard. He meets many burning arrows nailed and furious while crushing the Uruk .

This figure could be combined with excellent MS571

P.D. I understand that a release of just two figures this month if possible, right?

Horseman from Minas Morgul
In The Lord of The Rings, "The Two Towers", a great cavalry of horsemen rode out from Minas Morgul with The Witch-King himself ahead of them, while Frodo watched.

Here is Alan LEe Illustration:

[Turambar]

A great suggestion, Master Milo!!!!
I hope, after a century I could place a great suggestion for myself:

MOUNTED VARIAG ARCHER FIREING AN ARROW SIDEWAYS.

I have learned, NOT to call this charecter "Easterling" ! So-clearly: VARIAG!

[Halbarad II.]

All my favorite Characters are suggested already,
so I'd like to throw in a Figure that is also missing so far:

"Where Will wants not, a Way opens"
Éowyn "Dernhelm" mounted hiding Merry the Halfling
at Theodens Ride to the Pellenor Fields

There is a standing "Dermhelm" figure already,
but no one riding in "action"
togehter with the Hobbit,
two famous characters who played no little part in the destruction of the Witch-King.

LotR
The Return of the King,
Chapter III
The Muster of Rohan

...Unnoticed a Rider came up and spoke softly in the Hobbits ear.
'Where will wants not, a way opens, so we say,' he whispered;' and so I have found myself.'
Merry looked up and saw it was the young Rider whom he had noticed in the morning.
'You wish to go whither the Lord of the Mark goes: I see it in your face.'
'I do,' said Merry.
'Then you shall go with me,' said the Rider. 'I will bear you before me,
under my cloak until we are far afield, and this darkness is yet darker.
Such good will should not be denied. Say no more to any man, but come!'
'Thank you indeed!' said Merry. 'thank you, sir, though I do not know your name.'
'Do you not?' said the Rider softly. 'Then call me Dernhelm.'

Thus it came to pass that when the King set out,
before Dernhelm sat Meiadoc the Hobbit, and the great grey steed Windfola
made little of the burden, for Dernhelm was less in weight than many men,
though lithe and well knit in frame.

[khador]

Elrohir mounted as member of the Grey Company

[orc]

Guaooouuu!!!!

I see many nice proposals...but I have special interesting in two of them:

Horseman from Minas Morgul and Mounted Variag Archer....I need this two miniatures!!!

Because only can be choose one........and I was thinking to suggest this month a Variag too.... My bow is with you Master Turambar!!!

[Gerold]

Boromir mounted

I suggest Boromir on horse, on his way to the Council of Elrond, passing by the ruins of Tharbad. He should be wearing his cloak and carrying his horn of course. His horse also carries his shield and other packages. Not really a Boromir in fighting action, but more a travelling figure.

[ddaines]

Nazgul in Flight on Fell Beast

Not wishing to divert from Gildor's suggestion (I would love to see Aragorn on Hasufel to accompany Legolas and Gimli mounted on Arod) I will suggest a Nazgul in flight. At the moment we only have the Death of Théoden boxed set to depict the Fell Beast.

I would see the Nazgul more as a figure 'revealed' rather than another black cloaked figure (if possible) while the Fell Beast has wings outstretched - possibly speeding back to the Cracks of Doom in the final moments of Sauron's reign.

If this is too big for a suggestion, if I can do a Gollum and have 'two guesses' I would opt for Aragorn on Hasufel

[maenas]

Since there are 12 suggestions so far, I wont suggest anyone more. And will start thinking wich one should I vote xD

[tolwen]

Great suggestion ddaines. My choice is already set

[Luthien Tinuviel]

Earnur, Gondor's last king at the Battle of Fornost in armor mounted

Eärnur was the thirty-third and last King of Gondor until the restoration of the monarchy with Aragorn II Elessar.

Eärnur was the son of Eärnil II. He was a great warrior and became a great leader of armies before he became King. His greatest victory was against Angmar in TA 1975 in the Battle of Fornost, in which he defeated the Witch-king, whom he intended to slay had his steed not panicked in terror of the Witch-king's darkness

[Gildor]

the idea of a fell-beast mounted nazgul in "battlegear" is great, if we could suggest such a figure but it would require a Boxed set.... I cannot imagine having a "small" fell beast the same way we got a small balrog...

[Happy Ent]

Ori Leaving from Bree

I would love to see one of the Dwarves from Thorin’s Company on a pony , complete with hood and baggageand Instrument, leaving from Bree on the long journey to the lonely mountain.

[barliman]

Aaaaaaaaaargh!!..............Too many good suggestions! My head hurts............

M162 Dwarf Adventurer on pony already exists and shows what a regular dwarf on pony looks like.

But more that Ori, I would love the have 13 all riding in different poses !

[barliman]

I won't be giving anything away by saying that it's Elfhelm for me - how could I vote for anyone else? Problem is, I want to see nearly all of the other figures produced as well..... Obviously what we really need is more mounted / double-figure months - we have far too few of them.

[Axel]

Seems that the Haradrim King did not make it on the list... do we already have one somewhere?

[Milo]

Very hard to choose indeed...

[khador]

I think it's the Return of the Fellowship, with 12 good ideas and some hesitation to vote...

[Milo]

For sure a 2nd round will be useful. And I hope many of these mounted suggestions come to life one day !

[orc]

I hope we can have two or more winners in this month!!!!
