Have LotR models you don't want anymore? I can take em off your hands!

Willing to trade (preferably) or buy for Rohani, Gondorian, or Mordor-themed models (especially basic troops to fill out armies). Here's what I've got to offer you:

Empire (total approximate retail value: $350, available en masse for $299!) :

2 Great Cannons w/3 crew each (1 Cannon has unpainted Crew)
25 Swordsmen ( has Captain, banner, and Drummer)
25 Spearmen (has Captain, Banner, and Drummer)
22 Halbardiers (used as detachments - no command)
18 Handgunners (used as detachments - no command)
13 Greatswords (painted, but bases are primed black, with Captain, Banner, and Drummer)
10 Pistoliers (horses and armor painted, flesh and details primed black - Captain has converted multi-barrel pistol)
Mounted Wizard (primed black)


Skaven (total approximate retail value: $268, available en masse for $225!):
20 Clanrats (painted, based) incl/Captain, Banner, Musician
20 Clanrats (painted, based) incl/Captain, Banner, Musician
3 Jezzails (painted, based)
2 Ratling Guns (painted)
2 Warpfire Throwers (primed black)
20 Stormvermin (painted, based) incl/Captain, Banner, Musician
2 Rat Ogres (reposed, primed for repainting)


If you want to get these armies, but don't have anything to trade, fear not! Paypal is accepted at all major "Swordguy" stations. PM with offers (Painted formations will go at just over US retail price - the price of the unit plus a little bit to cover the painting). Final note: my paintjobs don't completely suck - here's a project from a few years ago (an L5R diorama):

I have vast, vast numbers of LOTR stuff crammed into a drawer at my parents, as it was the first stuff I ever collected. I have plastic orc sprues, a mordor troll, dozens of WOMT, most of the heroes, loads of old slightly trashed rohan warriors, a load of assembled orcs, some damaged metal easterlings, two cave trolls, banners and captains of most races, treebeard, metal dwarves, metal orcs, etc
This is just from memory, as I had so much back in the day, and I dumped it in a drawer.

I also tried restarting a few years back, and painted up an amazing force of Guard of the Fountain court. I equipped them with eleven shields painted silver, and had about 24, giving me two phalanxes. I converted a Guard of the Fountain Court standard bearer, and a Captain of the Guard(I was going to use the King of Men stats for him). I got the special edition Boromir figure and painted him up in the same colour scheme, and added a bunch of Citadel Guard with longbow, and Denethor. As they were painted once I'd been doing it for a while, they're quite well painted.

I'm heading back to my parents for a few weeks on Fri, would you like me to compile a list of the stuff I crammed in that drawer for you?

Please - feel free. My situation with these WFB armies is similar (some of the first GW stuff I collected) and I haven't had anyone to play WFB with in about 6 years, so I may as well trade for stuff that I want just on their own merits. I look forward to seeing your list.

I'm not too sure I'd want to swap my Guard of the Fountain Court phalanxes though, due to sentimental attachment. I put a lot of time and effort into converting and painting them, and I'd like to keep them just to have if for no other reason.

I take it you're beefing up your LOTR for War of the Ring then?

Got it in one - although I must admit, I'd paint up the LotR models just to have them. I'm a major Tolkein geek (assistant fight choreographer and Historian/Dramaturg for the theatrical premires of the LotR trilogy from Ovations Theatre Company) so I just want the models themselves. That fact that I get to play an incredibly cool and well-playing game with them is just a bonus.

Holding responses to PMs until I hear from Ketara - since he was first in.

Right then. Many of the orcs and WOMT seem to have gone walkabouts, probably to the garage, and I can't quite bothered to track them down. If you take this lot of my hands as one big package I'll throw in the millions of models in poor condition that I didn't even bother listing as well, as you might want to use them for conversion purposes, and they're no use to me. There's stuff from metal knights, to goblins to riders in there.

For painting quality, Med-=medium painted, and what I would consider to be average tabletop quality, Low is just that. Remember this is where I first learnt how to paint, so most of it isn't very good, but soaking stuff and repainting it when it gets to you is always an option I guess. Undercoated and metal means a chaos black undercoat, and boltgun metal on appropriate weapons and armour. w/ means with.



I have:

1 Treebeard(Med, Custom Base, arm needs reattaching)
1 Mordor Troll(Low, Metal, cracked Base, so it'll need a new one)
2 Cave trolls(1 Med, metal, missing hammer head, 1 Low, metal, missing arm and base)
4 Warg Riders(Plastic, 2 Med& Base with Spear and shield, 2 undercoated and metal, with bow)
1 Sam in Orc Armour(undercoated in Tin Bitz)
1 Frodo(Med, based)
1 Theoden(Med)
1 Haldir(Low, In Armour)
1 set of Isildur and Elendil(undercoated, and metal)
1 set of Legolas and Gimli(Low)
1 Set of Gorbag and Shagrat(Undercoated and metal)
1 Ltd Edition Ugluk(came with BGIME, Low, Based)
1 Grima Wormtongue(Low)
1 Gandalf the White(Med, staff missing)
1 Gandalf the Grey( Med, staff missing)
1 Gamling(undercoated and metal)
1 Grishnakh(Low)
1 Galadriel +Galadriels Mirror(Low)
1 King of the Dead(Med, Based)
1 Radagast the Brown(Low, Based)
2 Gil-Galads(1 Med and based, 1 undercoated and metal, both with blade ends missing)
3 Samwise Gamgee's(2 Low with blade, 1 assembled with campfire)
1 Eowyn(Undrcoated and metal)
1 Elrond(Low, blade missing)
1 Gollum(Low)
1 Gothmog(unassembled)
2 Captains of Minas Tirith( both Med and metal, 1 with blade missing)
2 WOMT w/Banner(Med)
1 Avenger Bolt Thrower w/3 crew( Med)
3 Citadel Guard w/spear(2 med painted and based, 1 undercoated in tin bitz)
3 WOMT w/spear and shield(med, based, all with spear tips missing)
4 WOMT w/ Shield(Med, based, 3 with blade broken)
17 WOMT w/Bow(Med, based, 6 with half bow)
6 Wood Elves w/Armour(3 with Bow, 3 with blade, Low, 3 with blade based)
9 High Elf Bowmen(Med, 6 based)
5 High Elf Swordsmen( Low, 2 based and painted, 3 with blades broken)
Mordor Siege Bow w/ 2 crew( Low)
14 Rohan Archers(Low, 7 with half bow)
6 Rohan Spearmen(Low, 5 with half spear)
4 Rohan Swordsmen(Low, 1 with no blade)
2 Rohan Royal Guard(Low)
3 Dwarf Warriors(Med and based)
3 Khazad Guard(Med, Based)
1 Mordor Orc standard bearer(metal, undercoated)
16 Orc warriors with various weapons and in various conditions, about half are in perfect condition, and about half are painted
32 Mordor Orc Warriors still on sprue, but with no bases.

Like I said, most of my WOMT and orcs seem to have wandered off, but if they crop up, I'll message whoever gets this lot to see if they want them. I'm not expecting too much for this lot, I reckon new in retail it would cost about £100, to £120, but since a lot of its in poor condition, and most is badly painted, I'll only want about £50 for the lot.

Interested?
