Lord of the Rings - Alternatives
These have now been transferred to the Collectors Guides section and are listed with the other Lord of The Rings miniatures released in the 1980s
Citadel produced a significant number of alternative figures for many of the original mid 1980s Lord of the Rings ME 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.
