Mithril Miniatures has finally released one of the most exciting vignettes in years. MS574 contains 4 separate figures plus a large and very detailed base (with 2 dead soldiers on it) and plenty of accessories. It is 32mm scale metal miniature that is NOT primed and does require assembly.This vignette depicts the opening scene of the battle of the black gate.
The black Trolls of Mordor are unleashed upon the armies of Gondor, and serve as shock troops, cutting swathes through the Gondorian ranks. Armed with war-hammers they strike down all before them. Lying dead on the ground are two Gondorian city spearmen, the Troll’s first victims.
A Dol Amroth infantryman, whose own unit stands with Beregond and his men at this part of the battle front, is kneeling, also wounded by the great Troll. The awful creature itself has just struck at Beregond, shattering his shield.
Beregond, attired in the splendid garb of the Minas Tirith guards staggers back under the impact while a fearful yet determined Pippin, also attired as a Minas Tirith guard, attempts to stand his ground.
This was June 2011's winning Fellowship Club entry. It was released in April 2012.
