Good evening dakka... oh no reply :(

Anyway it is near christmas and i have a lotr playing friend who wants me to make him a big piece of terrain.

He collects Isenguard, Mordor, Gondor and mainly galadriem elves.

Now he has some helms deep walls but not much else.

I asked him about weathertop and he said that he would prefer somthing else.

Please help me dakka your my only hope

If anyone sees the film quote (changed a bit) in my post they win the  interweb.

Okay then.

Have a nice evening.

Film quote is star wars, what about making the mines of moria?

YOU WIN THE INTERWEB!

Anyway moria is a good idea but he had a board already. Also he said somthing big like a building to fight over. I dont think he would want pillers stiking up form the ground though.

THEY'RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISENGUARD!

What about that town outside minas tirath, the one on the river where faramir gets Powned

You mean the sleepy little hamlet of OSGILIATH?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Well possibly a big osgiliath building.

Oh also he wanted somthing that he could put models in so maby a large hall with a take away roof?

I think i may do that.

The Prancing Pony Inn or Bree perhaps ?

I have a large piece of terrain.

It's a 6' tall, 9' wide, and 6' deep model of Minas Tirith. Won best LOTR and best overall at Games Day last year. Might be tough to go under the tree though.)

Yeaaah thats a bit big...

Anyways i will do a big osgiliath building for him... unless you can think of an elven building?

But for both of them can you post some pics of any you find and their interiors.

What about that abandoned watch tower place on the hill where the annoying characters light a fire and their leader (Frodo) gets stabbed in the shoulder?

Yeah i might do it because he did want a big piece.

Still... all points are valid points

Never worked out why Orlando Bloom growled that line. Oh hang on, it's because he can't act isn't it.

Weathertop; the guy said he'd prefer something else.

the rohan capital.

Some possible ideas for you here:

Lots of plans and how-to articles to follow on inpsirational stuff like The Black Gate, Edoras, Osgiliath ruins, and loads more.

Do a Rohan village.

You can make it modular with a variety of buildings including a great hall, a wooden stockade, some stables and paddocks.

Make Rivendell or the Grey havens. That would be sick!

Yes, make Osgiliath!

Pics or it never happened.

And, I want terrain inspiration.

Rico.

I use the 2 kings bookends I recieved with my LOTR special edition DVD's, that and a giant balrog candle holder head! =)

How about the hilltop shrine at the end of the Fellowship of the Ring Film? I can't remember the name of the location or find any pictures at the moment but it would seem like a good choice.

I seem to remember that GW did a build of this when LotR first came out. Its the scene where the Uruk-hai attack the Fellowship, Boromir protecting Frodo & Sam down hill with Aragorn/Gandalf atop the ruined shrine/temple kicking arse!


Edit - Found this image on Barule, it looks like the place in question.


This has been done using Hirst Arts blocks by the looks of it. Not that big but if you place it atop a hill and surround it with a forest crawling with Uruk-hai you might be on to a winner?

Edit 2 - Found a better picture and I think the place was called Amon Hen by the looks of it!

It's called Amon Hen, and yeah, that would make for a good table.

Yeah i may do that or weathertop... buuuuuuuut i dont want to use hirst arts blocks
