Hi all!
I have just, after several years of neglect, returned to the world of tabletop war gaming.

My son has recently shown interest in Lord of the Rings and saw my painted miniatures that I had on display at home. His interest made me delve into the world of Games Workshop and their Lord of the Rings Strategy game.

After scouring Ebay to find the minis I was missing, mostly elves, I also decided that I needed to make some terrain for my little guys to fight on.

Please have a look at what I have done so far at: http://blog.warofthering.eu/

Very nice! All my hills are smallish, I'm inspired to do something similar.

Thank you for the kind welcome!

I have begun planning the Mordor army (which I feel I am quite comfortable with) and the Elven army (which I have been asking alot of feedback on in the Army forum at http://www.one-ring.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=21084.

I have updated my blog with some pictures of my latest painted miniatures as well as of my first ever LotR painting results and they are all situated on my new nice hill, check them out at http://www.blog.warofthering.eu

Hello and welcome to One Ring! Great looking hill you have there, it's good to see something different from the usual small hills you find on the tabletop.

Enjoy your stay and your venture back into the hobby 8)

Yes, I have several smaller hills but wanted something bigger and more important that had strategic value so the struggle for it would mean something.

I have updated my blog with my latest "new" army list and an image if its commander, see http://www.blog.warofthering.eu/
