G'day Michael, Does the license include the Appendices at the back of the LOTR? If so, then there's some good (if scant on detail) material in there, such as: - The Long Winter of Rohan - named characters include Helm, Wulf, Freca, Hama and Haleth - the war of 1409 between Arthedain, Lindon and Cardolan and Angmar and Rhudaur, named characters include Arveleg, Araphor, Cirdan and that Witch-King. - the fall of Arthedain in 1975, named characters including Arvedui (with a name like that what did he expect, really?!), Cirdan, Aranath, Bucca of the Marish, Firiel, Earnur and the Witch-King again. Other options include the Hobbit archers that went to the aid of the King, the Lossoth, - and so on (the Kin-strife, wars between Gondor and Umbar, Eorl and the Battle of the field of Celebrant, Fram and Scatha, The Flight from Moria and founding of Erebor and the Dwarf Halls in the Grey Mountains, Thror's unfortunate life, the battles between Brand and Dain in the North and the forces of Sauron during the War of the Ring). Anyways, just some thoughts - Chris Tubb and Mithril produce some very, very, very nice miniatures (imho no-one else comes close), and to data I've been a huge fan of everything you've done  |

Yes our license covers ALL the Lord of the Rings books. Chris Tubb will be visiting us later this year and I will present all your fine ideas from this message board and we can decide from there what NEW ranges will be release in 2005. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the compliments. Does the license include the Appendices at the back of the LOTR?

in reply to the idea of appendice material, if I remember well, the Last Alliance along with the siege of Angmar are described... and the story of Aragorn and Arwen..
I have some ideas of vignettes or single figurines you could release :
- Glorfindel during the siege of Angmar
- the lossoth folk (as mentionned before)
- the final battle between Elendil and Sauron (or Isildur cutting the finger out of Sauron)... If I remember well, you have the rights to represent Sauron during that time since it is in the LOTR... I would be very excited about how Chris Tubb could represent Sauron in battle gear during the last Alliance, opposed to how Peter Jackson represented him
- the scene of Aragorn death
- Eldarion, son of Aragorn and Arwen
- Steward Faramir and his bride lady Eowyn of Rohan
well many ideas of figurines relating events of the END, and epilogue of the LOTR
well let me know what you think about it
Gildor

I would like to see how Chris would make Sauron but he is relucant to do so. He believes Sauron is better left to your imagination as a force of evil. However I will ask again because it would be a great diorama. |

Yep, my favourite one is a mixture of gildor's idea:
A vignette with Arwen and Eldarion at the tomb of king Elessar. Please ask Chris for it!

I would love to see some of the characters and peoples from the appendices done in a mithril set. Here are a few ideas...
-Feanor with a silmaril in his hand
-Beren and Luthien (either a vignette or two seperate figures)
-Arthedain warriors, and maybe a king of Arnor, such as Argeleb.
- the snow men of lossoth, and the hobbit archers
Ship builders of Middle Earth:
-Warriors/Sailors of Pelargir
-Cirdan, and Elves of the Grey Havens
-Castamir the usurper, and fellow Umbar sailors
-A vignette of either Glorfindel or Earnur facing the Witch King
-Eorl on horse
-Either a box set or a blister pack (like the lake town long boat) of the Wainriders. If a box set, have two horse driven wagons with Easterlings warriors, and have a chariot driven by the Easterling cheiftans.

well I agree for all the ideas above, but I think that king Argeleb II was already released in M354 (with a typo error written "Arkeleb" I think)
as for Lossoth, and all those characters in the appendices coming from Silm but mentionned in the appendices, that would indeed be great to see them, that would be exclusive to Mithril
