Subject: What set did these minis come from?

Trying not to be as negative as I am because of life reasons and depression, I am trying to look at things other ways now and trying to become more positive. So instead of what I don't have I am starting over and seeing what I do have. I have just found out 9 metal minis. I totally forgot I had these. I am wondering if anyone knows what set it came in. I like to know if I am missing anything.
I have Gandalf, Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Euwyn, Pipen in Gondor armour (forget what he is called), Merry in Rohan armour, Faramir and Eomer. Am I missing anyone? Just want to keep an eye out if I am or not worry about it. Also since it's been ages since I painted metal, how would I paint up the metal LotR minis? Wash and dry them first?
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

Storm Trooper with Maglight

Hard to be 100% certain without any photos, but it sounds like Heroes of the West. Unless I'm mistaken, every single one of those models came in that set - including the armoured hobbits. Google that and see if what comes up matches the model's you've got.

Would need picks but Oppl I think nailed it.
For metal (and all minis) you would prime them first before painting but yes id wash em incase there was any mold release. Then Gray or black prime then paint
