My suggestion for this month :
Mounted Dunlending Chieftain
What the Dunlendings still need, is a mounted Chieftain to lead them to Rohan! As usual with chiefs, he has more money to spend for his equipment and so he may have more goodlooking furniture than the common dunlending warriors (chainmail, coat, helmet...)
Thanks to all who wants to support this idea (although there are many other good ideas...).

Dammit, too many good suggestions again! - which is the problem of having so few mounted months.

I'd like to resubmit... for the Fourth time now : King Elessar at the Black GateDuring the last assault at the end of the War of the Ring, when the negociations were done with the Mouth of Sauron, Aragorn led the last stand upon the Black Gate. From this battle we already have a great vignette with Beregond and Pippin and the troll. but the very leader of the army of Free Folks, all clad in his regal armor, on horse, gathering troops and rousing them for one last hopeless stand ... would be epic I hope this times it will have some support... as I said, it's the fourth time Well you'll likely get my vote - this is exactly what I was going to suggest when I heard this month's figure was to be mounted!

It is true, Gildor. So: ELLADAN MOUNTED, THE GREY COMPANY So which one now, dear eleamar? Halbarad on the first page, Elladan on the second, that is confusing. That are two suggestions from you now, if you don't delete one.

Halbarad on the first page, Elladan on the second, that is confusing. Sorry for mentioning that, but it whould not be fair for the other members its in the first post from Michael: ONE suggestion per member.we had that in the past, when a changed suggestion was just lined out, and not deleted.

Post by Gildor on Jun 11, 2016 21:58:39 GMT
well from what I understood earlier dear Halbarad, Eleamar retracted his idea of Halbarad mounted when I told him it did already exist and he transformed his suggestion into Elladan mounted

I see what Master Halbarad means - the earlier suggestion needs to be physically deleted, or else it might be accidentally included in the poll (as has happened in the past). It can be easily deleted, Eleamar, by simply going to the dropdown menu in the top-right corner of the post.

Yes, Barliman is right, that was what i did mention: There was still the previous suggestion of Halbarad mounted on the first page. I see it's gone now - so no futher critics. It's allright Gildor, I also have understood that change from Halbarad to Elladan, no trouble about that. The point was that there still were the two suggestions on different pages 1 and 2 and that easily can be misunderstood.

Ori Leaving from Bree
I would love to see one of the Dwarves from Thorin’s Company on a pony , complete with hood and baggage, leaving from Bree on the long journey to the lonely mountain.
I know there was a mini like this, but only one is far too little to build a company of thirteen...

Despite there being so many other tempting suggestions, my vote goes to Aragorn. For Gondor!

Yes Gildor I see. Do you think Michael should know, or is he already informed? That is so confusing if incorrect post are not be deleted by their writers. Perhaps we all shall put in two different suggestions in different pages next month, to make it fair again? But basicly it is no big problem, I think especially for me with that lot of realised suggestions of mine. Let it be that way, mistakes always can happen.First round goes for Faramir, but I surely will support Aragorn in royal armour when he makes it in the second round. in fact he isn't crowned as King Elessar at that time, it as we know it will turn out to be his victory and all the good people of the West. He should have been a winner long before all other Gondorian kings to depict "The Lord of the Rngs part III - The Return of the King. Et Earello Endorenna utulien. Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Anbar-metta! Out of the Great sea, to Middle-earth I am come. In this place I will abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.

...and Boromirs horse is not dying! It's just exhausted or drifted away in the Gwathló-River at the ruins of Tharbad. the steed returns riderless to Gondor, as barliman points out correctly.
I hope that will not spoil Ddaines great suggestion.

Post by Halbarad II. on Jun 17, 2016 21:04:55 GMT
I think Khador perhaps if the "nameless thing " had to be "mounted" with a prey... in battle... unfortune Orc or something... or it was too much similar to the Watcher in the water. Maybe you can resuggest it just before Halloween !

Post by Halbarad II. on Jun 18, 2016 17:16:07 GMT
Yeah - Elladan without his twin Elrohir at his side makes not much sense... And Halbarad is alread there. though sold out...
Better support Aragorn on his way!

I see that the dunlending horseman leader is next to Aragorn in votes. Indeed it is a good idea too because in the regular ranges there are none I think. STILL, if you are a collector, such a figurine already exists, as the leader officer of the MW346 "Half-Orcs of Isengard" Warband. The mounted captain is a dunlending, on horse, a very good figurine indeed... But it is among the rarest ones to find... here is a pic : (MW346 subref CA1) My point is, even if this one is rare, it exists... Aragorn as a king, leading his armies in a hopless last stand at the black gate... is a unique, never seen before (actually Aragorn as king, mounted, whatever situation .. does not exist either) Vote for Aragorn ! (well, Elessar ! )

Post by Gerold on Jun 20, 2016 13:21:24 GMT
Very true, master Elf, but the MW346 figure has never been released officially, so for most people (including myself), who were not so lucky to obtain this one, it simply doesn't exist yet in the range of officially released Mithril figures. Reason enough to vote for it and include it in the official range (if you want it)!
Thanks to everyone who voted for this one!

Well, three days to go yet, but it's beginning to become clear who the Round 2 contenders are likely to be. All good ones, too. The Dunlending would have been my second choice anyway, and the Wainrider my third, so I'm feeling optimistic regardless of what eventually transpires..

I don't know why my suggestion is out of play (mounted figure wasn't mandatory) but it's not very fair to my opinion... I submitted your idea. Chris left it out. I will ask why but it is his decision ultimately. Update: it does not qualify for this month's requirements. Its a monster sized creature. Update 2: Chris said Tolkien is too vague in his term to make any sense of it so it will not be done.

Well we have an excellent final three to choose between. For Master Gildor's sake I hope that it will be "Arargorn" who wins (from considerable experience I know just how frustrating it can be for the same suggestion to lose out repeatedly, month after month!), but to be honest, I'd be happy with any of them.
