"M17 Sagath warrior" "M18 Sagath animist"
and I have forgotten her:
"M322 Easterling shamaness"
And this is the only glimpse of a large horsemen-folk: "M152 Variag horseman"

I suggest: Angbor the Fearless, Lord of Lamedon, mounted
He stood his ground despite the presence of the dead men of Dunharrow.

Angbor ....this time would be few rohirim and gondorian mounted heroes... so I think in this round will be hard competition... and some others great sanguinary scenes....

That seems to be a good month!! Very very good luck mistress Wendy! (Haldir was in original your suggestion wich did win competition after it was suggested by me, so this time it must be yours!!!!) However, some suggestions are really inspiring this time!

It seems that I suggested too many figures . . . ts, tss, tsss So this occasion to suggest a mounted figure I surely won´t pass. As for Estel and myself, those Easterlings are very much precedented! I take a step into direct competition to him, althoug his suggestion is brilliant . . . So here is my ultimate suggestion:
idea title: Easterling Archer, mounted
I suggested him before, as a scythian-like rider on a running horse firering a typical short-bow...backwards!

.... I did not know for this. Do not worry. Hirgon was already suggested in 2006 by still another member, so Estel was in the same position back in his time :-) It certainly would be a fitting winner! Anyway, on to my own suggestion. I was, for a moment, contemplating to forward Merry again, but I think I will myself shamelessly steal an idea that is around for years: Bandobras Tuk riding his Pony in the battle of Greenfields, wielding his club to decapacitate Golfimbul, leader of the Orks.Golfimbul is not part of the suggestion, but he can easily be represented by a multitude of Orks in our range - unless, of course, Chris decides to add a free Ork leader.

Elladan and Elrohir At the Black GateThe Sons of Elrond, clad in their ranger-like attire, over their bright mail. They have long cloaks, whipping in the vile Mordor wind. Their hair is unbound, they are helmetless. One is aiming a bow at a foe, the other is wielding his longsword. They are tired and bloody, but grim and determined. More details later

Bilbo giving the mithril chainmail and Sting to FrodoThe scene shows the moment that Bilbo takes from under the bed a wooden box containing Dardo and Mithril chainmail that Thorin gave him. Then he delivers both gifts to his nephew Frodo. Not many hobbits in the GF.It's time to be together the two most representative of them!

Folca and The Boar of Everholt
History: Folca was the son of King Walda of Rohan. He was a mighty warrior and hunter, and thirteenth in the line of kings. After his father was trapped and slain by orcs, Folca vowed to pursue no wild beast until all the orcs in Rohan were destroyed. When the last den was finally exterminated, Folca rode away to hunt the legendary Boar of Everholt. The boar was a worthy and daunting prey for any huntsman. Fierce and huge, the great boar gave battle to Folca in the Firien Wood beneath the shadow of the White Mountains. Folca slew the beast but later died of the tusk-wounds it gave him.
Description: I imagine the brave Folca slightly off balance, as he hastily flips his sword around in both hands and raises it above his head. Rather than a chopping strike, Folca intends to thrust downward with the blade to pierce the heart of the great boar. Naturally the boar is in full charge. Its head is low to the ground, as it intends to open Folca up like a can of Vienna Sausage! If this were a vignette, I would like to see Folca’s bow tossed to one side and perhaps an arrow or two in the back of the boar. Might be interesting to see a wounded hunting dog or maybe Folca’s downed horse.

Hi, my idea is: Melkor and spider Ungoliant - standing face to face like in picture from John Howe on this link: images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/3900000/Fantasy-Art-John-Howe-fantasy-3987418-1464-939.jpgHistory: Ungoliant aided the evil Vala Melkor in his attack upon the Two Trees of Valinor, draining them of their sap after Melkor had injured them. She also drained the wells of Varda, extinguishing the source of light for the world. Afterward this light persisted only within the Silmarils of Fëanor. Ungoliant helped Melkor evade the Valar by shrouding them both in her impenetrable darkness, causing blindness and confusion amongst the hosts of the Valar that attempted to intercept them. Melkor had promised Ungoliant that he would yield anything she wished in return for her aid, but betrayed this promise by attempting to withhold the Silmarils from her. This angered Ungoliant, who, having grown immensely powerful from ingesting the life force of the Two Trees, trapped Melkor in her webs. At this point he gave out a cry of such fear and intensity that it was heard in the depths of Angband, and the Balrogs rushed to the aid of their master, scourging Ungoliant with their whips of flame. (Silmarillion)

Hi Radgar
nice nick, and warm welcomed you are!
But this won´t accord to all that restrictions The Tolkien Empire has expressed. I feel so sorry for you and all of us cause I love The Silmarillion and it´s protagonists! But except the license-problems there will be problems with the size . . .
Oh, by the way: I´m back from holidays in Italy! Toscana! Chianti! Arezzo, Siena and Firenze! I have to think about an own suggestion. But I can even state right now that I love the Rohirrim-Kids-Stuff! Great idea! More all-day-scenes!

(Silmarillion) While an excellent idea, I seriously doubt it will be accepted. Its too Silmarillion for one thing, and Ungoliant is a box set by itself, add Sauron (54mm size) and its a BIG box set. Not feasible for a GSF release.
