Lord of the Rings - Alternatives
Citadel produced a significant number of alternative
figures for many of the original mid 198Os Lord of
the Rings Range, most of which are uncatalogued.
These included Orcs, Elves, Dwarves and Deadmen
of Dunharrow. The aim of this research page is to
identify as many of the alternative figures as
possible. Many of the figures shown here were later
rolled into various Warhammer ranges once the
LOTR License was lost. Later castings have the
LOTR-specific information on their slotta tabs
obliterated.
