my brother recently started collecting the white council and wanted to have all of the five wizards in middle earth. Since GW has only released 3 i wanted to know if there are any models that could be used to represent these two other wizards.

P.S. if this is in the wrong section feel free to move it

A company called reaper miniatures have a large amount of "wizard" models which i have bought and can safely say are the correct scale for lotr, go on eBay and type in reaper miniatures, you will surely find a large catalog of miniatures, many of which make perfect wizards (there is also the GW elven stormcaller model), as far as stats go, i suggest using an elven stormcallers statistics, when you want to house rule the wizards into better models, i believe there is a fan made supplement on this site which lists the possible stats of each wizard, except they are evil, but if you are using made up rules it doesn't matter if you decide to use them in good armies :D

I'm making my Saruman out of an old Ral Partha miniature. He doesn't quite look like Christopher Lee, but good enough for me. The pose is powerful with his cloaks billowing, you can imagine him commanding the winds or tossing Gandalf around Orthanc. The staff is self-made out of a paperclip. Maybe I should get greenstuff or something to detail it more.

Still needs dipping and basing.

A nice selection for the five wizards, and the white council. The radagast ones are especially nice. :)

If you can get one, I think the Sharkey version of Saruman from the Scouring of the Shire set would make a good additional Wizard

Mithril Miniatures from Ireland also do a few and are official (in the sense that they are licenced to use the LOTR name). I managed to get a few from the Middle-earth weekend at Birmingham back in 2009 and have 2 x Alatar a Pallando and I think 2 Radagasts. They are ok but a bit fuzzy on the details.
