10.10.10 Once in a Lifetime Date Celebrated with Massive Sale.

This Sunday, 10th of October, it will be a unique date in your calendar. The 10th of the 10th of 2010. Never will you see this kind of date occur again so Prince August is celebrating this with an exciting 27.1% off EVERYTHING they stock on their 3 websites: Prince August, Mithril Miniatures and Warzone-Chronopia.

All the discounts will be taken off when you go to the shopping basket checkout. The only requirement is your order is at least 30 Euro in value (excluding shipping). Considering the amount of discount being given this is very fair as it just keeps the final total above their minimum order requirement.

The sale starts on the 7th and ends at 10:00 GMT on the 11th of October.

One final note: Why 27.1%? Its an odd amount to have as a discount. But it is based on taking 3x10% off the customer's order (10% off initial order then 10% off that total, and a final 10% off the remaining amount.) which works out at 27.1%. Discounts are automatic so you don't have to wait.



LOTR August 2010 Releases: Hurin The Tall & Dunlending Musician

Mithril has released at the end of August 2010 two new miniatures as part of the Fellowship club series. Hurin the Tall is the Warden of the Keys of Minas Tirith.

The Dunlending Musician used his carnyx instrument to signal orders to the Dunlending horde, as well as to demoralise the enemy and raise moral of their own armies.

Saruman stirred up a lot of racial mistrust and old hatred between the Dunlending wildmen and the people of Rohan, and during the War of the Rings they plundered and destroyed as they marched across Rohan before eventually being defeated.

As with all Fellowship miniatures released since 2005, these were suggested by club members and voted on in a monthly poll on the Mithril forum.

If you want your idea to become reality join the Fellowship club today.

Prince August has a treat in store for our Warzone Mutant Chronicles wargamers. 4 factions in this brutal universe have gained new allies, and we have a small amount of weapon packs for making your battlefield more authentic.

2 NEW LOTR Fellowship miniatures released.

Mithril Miniatures has just released 2 more 32mm scale metal miniatures based on the races of Middle-earth from the The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books.
Narvi the Dwarven Stonemason was responsible for carving the doors of Moria. This beautiful miniature shows him diligently sculpting and carving away another pillar.

The Sindarin Bard is one of the ruling minority of Elves that reside in places like Mirkwood Forest. Legolas was a Sindarin Elf for example. Bards were honoured professionals amoung the music loving Elves, and with their long lives and massive history they were never short of material for their songs and tales.

Both miniatures are primed and ready to paint. Some assembly is required.

These were the February and March 2010's winning ideas from the Fellowship Club. They were suggested and voted on by the members of that club.

If you want to take part in the next months ideas then join the club today for only 20.90 Euro, and gain a free miniature (Aragorn and the Palantir) and 5 Tengwar magazines (filled with information on the Mithril vision of Middle-earth).

New LOTR Mithril Fellowship miniatures released in June 2010.

Mithril has added to its bulging website two more excellent additions to its legendary range based on the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit books by J.R.R. Tolkien.
These are developed from ideas submittd by the Fellowship Club, a collection of Mithril collectors that submit new ideas monthly and vote on them.

These two ideas were from December and January, and consist of Eowyn, a shield maiden from Rohan, later responsible for the slaying of the Witch-King, the most powerful Nazgul that Sauron had in his dark army.

The second one is Hirluin, a lord that assisted Gondor during the War of the Ring. He came from Lebennin with three hundred of his men, who carried banners of yellow stars. Tall and proud he was to the sight of his men, and he wore a helm of great steel matched only by that worn by the Fountain Guard. Hirluin slew many orcs during the siege but he came to his doom when he was overwhelmed by the orc horde at the breaking of the door. Hirluin was buried before the gate at which he fell alongside Elfhelm and Forlong at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

Two New LOTR Mithril releases: Gandalf & Gwaihir, Bolg's Standard Bearer

Mithril has released two new 32mm scale metal miniatures in May. These 2 releases were winning ideas from October and November 2009.

MS552 Bolg's Standard Bearer is based on the Battle of Five Armies from The Hobbit. Bolg was the chief of the Goblins (orcs) that attacked the Dwarven, Elven and Men of Dale forces. Wargs (intelligent Wolves) were the Goblins allies. These made up the 5 armies involved.
Bolg was accompanied with a Bodyguard unit of troops, including a standard bearer.
Beorn, the skinchanger, eventually slew Bolg and his bodyguards during the conflict, in revenge for their attack on Thorin.


MS553 'Gandalf and Gwaihir', is from The Lord of the Rings books, when Gandalf was imprisoned on the Tower of Orthanc. Gwaihir, the Great Eagle, rescued him and carried him to safety.
Interesting Note: While most illustrations show Gandalf on the Eagles back, sculpting it successfully in that pose was not seen as a workable solution. A 2D illustration can hide a lot of detail in feathers, including how you ACTUALLY ride an Eagle.
Since Mithril had released these Eagles previously in different poses, they could not suddenly have a gigantic version the size of a full Dragon like Smaug (also unrealistic for an Eagle). So it was impossible for Gandalf to SIT on Gwaihir's back and look even remotely feasible. Nor can Gandalf hang-glide on the back of the Eagle, or hang from his claws (it would look awful).
So this shows Gandalf after being rescued and thanking Gwaihir.
