I have had a game of Lord of the Rings Risk hanging around unused for years. I doubt I will ever use it but the little figures have some gaming potential. They are about 10 -12 mm scale and consist of several foot and mounted types. For me, they were just a painting opportunity waiting to happen.
For someone wishing to start up a fantasy game or campaign the figures can be found easily and acquired cheaply. Yhis is what I have done so far:
Some elephant and troll types:
A Nazgul and Black Riders:
A host of Orcs or Goblins:
And Elf archers:
A squadron of Eagles:
I have no idea what I will do with them, but they look much better now!
