Rivals Fantasy Miniatures

A couple of very small hobbits in 10mm scale - Frodo and Sam, from the Copplestone Castings 'Heroes and Halfings' set.  I've painted them inspired by the Peter Jackson films.   My photos aren't brilliant (especially at this magnification - Sam's face is approx 2mm from chin to hair) but the sculpting likeness especially to Sean Astin as Sam is pretty impressive. In the 'Hordes of the Things' game rules, this element is a 'Sneaker' ("all bands of infiltrators on foot, such as bearers of magic rings... They do not fight, but can penetrate or deceive enemy troops to capture a stronghold or attack a general unless precautions are taken.").   With a 2p piece for scale reference

Another Copplestone 10mm Fantasy 'Hero on Horseback', King Theoden of Rohan, accompanied by Gandalf the White, at the head of his Honour Guard of Rohirrim. Here he is solo, and with a 2p piece for scale. The cavalry are Copplestone 'Horse Tribe Royal Cavalry'.  The flag is hand painted paper, taking inspiration from the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings film design of the Royal Standard of Rohan.

Another figure from the Copplestone 10mm Fantasy range 'Heroes on Horseback' pack, here is Gandalf the White - returned from the dead to take Saruman's place as Head of the Istari - riding Shadowfax.  Very nicely sculpted figure and quite tiny. Before he got the makeover here he is as Gandalf the Grey, from the 'Heroes and Halflings' set.

According to Tolkien, the Witch King of Angmar was one of the 9 Ring Wraiths or Nazgul.  Here he is, courtesy of Copplestone Castings, mounted on (an admittedly pint-sized) Fell Beast.   In the Hordes of the Things ruleset The Witch King would be an Aerial Hero costing 6 Army Points (the maximum unit cost).  The figure is painted in acrylics, gloss varnished, and mounted on a 2p piece. He comes as part of the Evil Characters set as per the Copplestone Castings webpage:

Next up is Aragorn, Heir to Isildur as King of Gondor.  I've gone with a paint job as per the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings Trilogy and he's based on a 2p piece - shown in one of the photos for scale.   In the 'Horde of the Things' rules (Fantasy DBA), Aragorn would be a Hero element costing 4 Army Points (an army can have 24 AP in total, 12 of which can come from heroes/Gods/dragons etc) and whose combat factor would be +5 (second only to Gods, Paladins and Dragons on +6).  He's leading a regiment of Gondor Spearmen (+4 combat factor).
