Civilians for Lord of the Rings?

[Hitman]

Doomhippie;
I still have some stock left of medieval figures that my company produced scale-wise for LOTR as well as other medieval games with no weapons and don't look like they are fantasy figures. Send me an e-mail at
battlefield_designs @ rogers dot com and I will send you pictures.
Regards,
Hitman

Have done so and thank you for your offer.

Say! It just occurred to me - what about Mithril miniatures?

They have a few human civilians here: http://www.mithril.ie/races/index_humans.html , with a few more unarmed humans and elves that could be used as civilians throughout their lines.

Also, they used to have some lines from the Silmarillion or other books which I don't see on the website (I guess they're OOP?), but if you could find them somewhere, there are a few that would work well as civilians (i.e. Gamling the Old, Grima Wormtongue, etc.)

Hm, Mithril... With 32 mm they seem to be on the more than large size for Lord of the Rings GW minis. But I'll have acloser look at them, there seems to be some interesting stuff there.

[FramFramson]

They're not heroic scale and have fairly refined features and normal proportions, so they might work for the GW 28mm LotR.

Mithril do work well with GW LOTR, and I use both.  They have quite a few hobbits in the rare stock section http://mithril.ie/rare_stock/index.html on page .
They also do figures for Bree http://mithril.ie/M-Series/index.html under the Village of Bree section which could be useful.

Mithril is one of my old, old loves in the world. Here's what I did for a game at Historicon in 2001 (rubbish photos, I know, but here goes...):

The Oaten Pipe Regulars

This rowdy group is made up by those who run and frequent the village inn,'The Oaten Pipe'. The regulars have spent all evening fortifying themselves with ale against the cold and telling rumors and tells of wolf encounters in the past. Hearing horn calls of distress from afar they now emerge, made bold by strong drink and wielding a vicious assortment of kitchen implements.

The scenario was the "Fell Winter of 1311", which in Shire reckoning is the year of the White Wolves.

Another one, The Wooly Clan

The Wooly clan is a large group sheep farmers from outlaying farmsteads and cottages between Oatbarton and the Brandywine river. They are all related; siblings, cousins, second cousins, in-laws etc., and have come together to protect themselves and their neighbors as they take refuge in the village. As often is the case, this lot, while often engaged in internal family arguments, will fight viciously to protect their own kin when under attack.
