Mithril Miniatures has released 10 new 32mm scale metal miniatures depicting the Rohirrim defending against the horde of half-orcs (Uruk-Hai) from Isengard. Saruman had bred these monsters to be stronger, bigger and far more resistant to sunlight than any previous incarnations. A huge army had been dispatched to destroy the men of Rohan.
Helm's Deep was a strong fortress that had served Rohan well in the past against their enemies (Dunlendings) and the people fled there to resist the dark army of the wizard. Gamling the old was put in charge of 1000 men, mostly youths and old men, to man the outer defences of Helm's Dike.
This is part one of the Helm's Deep series. Mithril has a bulk discount offer of 10% off the individual miniatures cost when you buy 3 of each type.
Warzone Mutant Chronicles is a table-top 28mm scale wargame that is very popular for it beautifully sculpted miniatures, exciting and easy to pick up rules-set and engaging story.'Boromir Blowing the great horn of Gondor' (MS506) shows Boromir shortly before his death as he sought aid to repel the host of Isengard Orcs that were sent to kidnap any hobbits they could find. Saruman wanted the One Ring but did not trust his servants with that knowledge. Boromir tried to protect Merry and Pippin but was overwhelmed. His other companions, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli, were away searching the forest for Frodo at that time and arrived to late to prevent the tragedy from occuring.
Tom the troll (MS507) was one of the three trolls that Bilbo and his dwarven companions encountered during their travels in The Hobbit. These trolls acted as bandits and ate travellers or raided local farms for livestock. The trolls captured the dwarves but Gandalf managed to trick the trolls into arguing between themselves about how to eat them long enough for the sunrise to turn them to stone.

STORY: After the destruction of his power, the wizard Saruman, with a few of his trusted agents, fled the wreck of Isengard to avoid capture and traveled northwards, presumably through Dunland, where he would still have some support. eventually he arrived in the Shire where he was to establish a new power base. He was known from this time, especially in the Shire, as Sharkey, which in origin was probably derived from the Orcish SHARKU meaning old man.
