🤴Miniatures & Statues
I’m the biggest fan of the Warhammer version of The Lord of the rings since I was a kid, so I couldn’t think of better Miniatures than those from Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game (like Battle of Osgiliath SET), paint them and enjoy, or better, play the awesome strategy game with them.
I also bought 2 statues (1:6) from Weta Workshop after visiting them in New Zealand (I own the Elf and 2 Dwarves from The Hobbit Movies).
