What is everyones favorite mithril miniatures? Not including vignettes or box sets.
My top 5 are
M191- Tolwen(elven healer)
MS280 -Wulf of Edoras
LO26- Faramir
M343-Aragorn's leavetaking
M275-Oropher(elven king)/M140 Great eagle w/Bilbo,Dori (TIE)
This is a tough pick since I really love so many of the other excellent Mithril miniatures

In general I think the 32mm miniatures cast in lead based alloy made the best miniatures.
If I shold pick some favorites I would say M306 Two Dwarvish travellers, M241 Brodda the Easterling and M350 Gandalf and the Hobbit children.

Don't make me choose!
Forgive me for not having the numbers available, but these are a few of my favorites.
Boxsets: Vengence of Smaug, and the Pelennor Fields scene with Eowyn facing the Witchking and beast.
Vignettes: No doubt, The Ringwraith.
Single figures: I have to agree, M343 Aragorn's Leavetaking is impressive. I'm not at home right now, so I will have to add to this list after further consideration...
Cheers.

That's a hard one...is it okay to say all of them?  Actually, I would say that my top 5 would be: Scatha the Worm Angmar Troll with Mace Bilbo and Gollum Elladan and Elrohir (Elves of Rivendell M series) Orc Chieftan (Orcs of the Red Eye M series) How about favorite series? Anyone try to list their favorite top 5 for those? |

I'll love them all!!!
But I was glad as I got my
M73 Haradan Caravan Guard (On Camel)
The M45 Orc Berserker is amazing with a lot of action
Frodo and Sam dressed as Orcs were also beautiful!

Hum it's hard to choose only five references so that I give only my 5 prefered figures in M1 to M100 released:
M24 - Barrow-wight King
M78 - The Razarac
M93 - Zalg the Goblin King
M99 - karagat the high-priest
and my prefred is M73 haradan caravan mounted guard on camel a great figure originally and good sculpted.
I like too the M7,M10 and M16 for the rarity of it...and the difficult time to found them (many years ...)

Hmm, difficult... Looking across my half done gaming board, I can see... - the Sindarin Elf with sword - Elf girl with bow - Fram - Elrohir - Glorfindel - Aragorn with Palantir I don't have the numbers off-hand, but its the Mithril classics Glorfindel, the clearout sale Elrohir, the collector's Fram, the heroines of middle Earth elf girl, the Lorien series elf with sword (214 or something! ) Most of them, in other words!

Today's top five list: 1) M73 Haradan camel guard-The first Mithril I bought, not knowing anything about them, just liked the fig! Lucky! 2)M157 & M159- Dwarf Royal guards and Infantry. I'm combining these two, because they represent the same Old-School Dwarf warriors that would have made Durin the First proud. The last great strength of the Longbeards! They really look like they can kick some orc ass! 3)M238- The Black Sword Mtd. Turin and the Blacksword series are the reason I began seriously collecting Mithril about six or seven years ago. (Or is it more than that now...?) My favorite Tolkien story and my two favorite Mithril series. 4)M247- Noldor warrior. Same as above. I'm kind of a sucker for all the First Age figs, especially elves. Think this guy would make a great Tuor if he had an axe! 5)M273- Cirdan at Gorgoroth. I think this is one of the most interesting elf figs. Very different than the others, with the wavy bastard sword, and a beard!?! I like seeing Cirdan in the wartime conciliare roll, as opposed to just the guy who shoves off boats full of Elves leaving Middle-Earth Of course now there's LR8 too, but I like this one better, although I am looking forward very much to the new MS Cirdan. Can't get enough of those elves! |

;D ooops, sorry ... I just forgot about the thread .. well, what is favourite and what is rare? ... huom .. I don't think it's the same, is it? .... rhuommm or are there any favourites because they're rare? ... Rhuuuoooomm... I really cannot judge.- No. Each time I hold a Mithril-miniature in my hands to paint it ... huooomm...I always say: this is the best one; as you get close to all the details if you want to paint ... huoommrhuomm .. I cannot sort out any ... it all depends on what characters you like, I think. Some like Elves, some like orcs, etc. I do like all of them !!!!!!!!! huooommm.  |
