54mm LOTR - The Ambush At Amon Hen

[Sunjester]

Years ago, when I was running a games shop I used to take participation game to wargames shows based around the Ambush at Amon Hen, where the Fellowship of the Ring finally disintegrated and Boromir was slain. The game used 54mm figures that had been produced by Britains for the release of Peter Jackson’s trilogy of films. Whilst tidying up by loft storage the other day I can across the figures again and thought it would be fun to do something with them and Sellswords and Spellcasters would be the idea rules for a small scale skirmish.

W Britains released a whole range of figures to accompany the release of The Fellowship of the Ring. I guess they did not sell well as I never saw anything for The Two Towers or Return of the King. I found these in a little gift shop in Weymouth a couple of years after release, they were half price (or less), which is why I got so many.
