Sixteen years old Mines of Moria! (+Saruman)

Games workshop released in year 2001 Lord of the Rings miniature game. (I had some wrong facts. corrected now) 2005 they released started box called Mines of Moria. It included rules, some scenery, the fellowship, goblins and a cave troll.

This is what you get from Mines of Moria starter set. 

So now is year 2017 and I'm only 16 years late... wait what sixteen. Oh man. Well I did not even played miniatures games by that time.

I managed to get hold of this starter box couple of years ago and now it is fully painted set. Phiu... One project done. I will play this game and I will play it with my good friend and enjoy it like someone did sixteen years ago. I'm very happy about this set.

Game takes place in the Mines of Moria and specially in the Balin's tomb.

Balin's tomb from the movie

Models was very fun to paint. I hope I enjoy the game same amount. I'm not army painter but I managed to paint 24 goblins in decent time and managed too keep good quality as well. Of course I painted eyes to every one. But these models are in normal scale and not in heroic scale as other GW miniatures. So these more smaller miniatures to paint.

Terrain from the box. Some pillars, trap doors, door, well, Balin's crave and some dead markers. I have another sets pillars and door to paint.

Terrain pieces from the box. 

The Fellowship. I have painted this some time ago but here is the new picture.

The Fellowship from the box. 

24 goblins armed with spears, bows or shield and swords. 12 different sculpts of goblins.

The cave troll. I really like how this model finished. Cave troll was most fun to paint.

The cave troll. 

My big plan is to make some more rocky terrain to do big Moria setting with ladders, stairs, walkways etc. I have more Moria models also to paint.

But here is some action pictures. 

Fellowship is defending the tomb against goblins and a cave troll. 

Battle of Balin's tomb.

One dwarf is still alive in Moria. 

Aragorn and Boromir defending Frodo. 

Here is some bonus model from Lord of the Rings. Saruman the white wizard.

Saruman. I used two different wash tones to paint the robe. Black and brown. 

One Ring to rule them all!

The one Ring. Plastic version. 

I'm always late for miniature gaming. Lord of The rings were pop about ten years ago... Well I'm interested LotR now and not then.

Well I managed to get hold of couple of Mines Of Moria Starter sets and my plan is to do Moria, Shire and some other distinguish terrain from the tales.

I haven't showed any of the pictures from WIP but now I have full Fellowship of the ring painted.

These were all plastic and from Moria set. These are sill available from Games Workshop.

My plan is to play Lord Of the Rings campaign from the beginning. And in this campaign Frodo can die and Boromir survive.

But here is some pictures. I did pic the colors for models by eye. I did not look any quids which color to use. I think I pulled this fellowship nicely. Well still got lot's of more to learn about painting.

Fellowship and the ring! These are plastic models from Moria set. 

Boromir, Aragorn and Gandalf.
Gandals and Boromir faces are very good sculpts.
I'm not happy with Aragorns painting. Luckily I have three more Aragorns to paint!

Merry, Pippin, Frodo and Sam.
These were very small puckers. Painting eyes were challenging.
Well after this painting some Mordheim will be much easier. 

Gimli and Legolas.
These were first to paint. Nice models.
