A group dwarfs travelling to the Ered Luin

Bifur, Bofur and Bombur have heart that the Durin's folk are preparing something to recover their past splendour. It also seems thar Tharkun himself can be involved.

With this idea in mind they have left their homes and their people to join the expedition. They are not part of Durin's tribe but nowadays there are not a lot of dwarves so are sure they will receive a warm welcome...

The miniatures are from Oathmark except for the horse which comes from Ral Partha Europe range.

Bombur is the metal tets dwarf used as a model and is huge (so Bombur is the option) the other two dwarves are plastic Oathmark infantry with no conversions at all. The only thing is the backpack in Bifur (that comes from the Frostgrave soldiers box) and the walking stick that is a cut down spear from the dwarf infantry box. 

Thanks for looking!

Mithril Miniatures dwarfs

I'm slowlly recovering my Mithril Miniatures. Back in the 90s, when I was a kid, those were my only miniatures. It was some kind of difficult without internet and with not a lot of Money to have a big amount of miniatures and variety. Still, líving in Barcelona was a good thing because it had a decent stock of RPG shops. Places like Gigamesh (that still exist today), "Central de jocs", "Los 5000 dedos del Dr. T" and of course "Juegos sin Fronteras" (the best shop I've ever seen) where places to spend your time and money friday afternoon after school. For me, Mithril were the best because they were really aligned with Tolkien's books, were great for my RPG sessions and the sculpts were really well proportionated. Mithril miniatures still exists today but unfortunatelly they are too much expensive for me. Here I show you my resurrected small Dwarf Army that has been stripped of paint and are waiting in the painting queue. They are eager to run to the Lonelly Mountain to help Thorin and co. And what can we say about the vignette of Dain and Azog the Goblin? It still makes me dream...

Blessed ebay

Look what I found on ebay! A gentleman in Madrid was selling this superb mithril warband box. Now I'm the happy owner of 30 Mordor orcs in true oldschool style. The first miniatures I had were a couple of Minas Tirith soldier my grandfather bought me in a local hobby shop when I was 13 (and that was back in 1992). Since then, I have a decent collection of mithril miniatures that will appear in the future. The problem is that the style of the orcs is somewhat difficult to find in other companies so this box will be of great help in future Middle Earth wargames. I really like the style of this miniatures and I think that they have the authentic flavour of Tolkien's Middle Earth. I'm sorry but I don't like the movies nor the GW miniatures.
