Lord of the Rings has two games published by Games Workshop. The Strategy Battle Game is a skirmish game. The heroes have an important role to play in the game and creates a wonderful storyline.
The other, more recently published, is for larger battles. It is known as War of the Ring (WOTR). It uses units that are based in trays. It is perfect for playing the large battles from the Tolkien books.

 Movement trays for War of the Ring can be enhanced with all sorts of decorative additions. This adds to the look of the army, particularly if the additions are themed to match the army.
Brian shows off his newly learned modelling skills, by creating trays specifically designed for his Army of the Dead. See some photos of his work in progress as he masters the art of shaping green stuff.

They were being stalked by a swarm of Goblins; hunting the men of Gondor on the edge of the ruins of an old Gondorian city. Played on Saturday 18th April at the Croydon venue of the Nunawading Wargames Association. See if the Goblin ambush worked.

 Several games of Lord of the Rings were played at Mitcham. John brought along his first module of the Moria scenery, which is the fun Watcher in the Water scenario. The Fellowship does not always have an easy time of it in this scenario.

 The first meeting at Mitcham for the year was a roaring success. A great turnout with lots of different games being played. The venue renovations are complete, including a newly painted floor. And one of the best looking tables was a War of the Ring battle between Jeremy and Travis, continuing from where they left off at Cancon.

 War of the Ring made its debut at NWA on the day that the rule set was released for sale. Several members had been pre reading copies at Games Workshop stores to get a head start. A number of keen members had painted up many of the movement trays in the few weeks since their release so the rules could be tried out straight away. These photos show what a small version of the new game looked like at Croydon.

 Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin returned to the Shire from their adventures with the Fellowship of the Ring. To their surprise they found their beloved home in upheaval. Crawling away after his defeat at Isengard, the bitter Saruman went to the Shire to exact revenge on the Hobbits. With his faithful snivelling companion Wormtongue, Saruman used a gang of Ruffians to enslave the peaceful inhabitants of the Shire. But the return of the Hobbit adventurers stirred up a rebellion, which culminated in the Battle of Bywater. See how this great scenario for Lord of the Rings turned out when played on a Saturday afternoon at Croydon.

Lord of the Rings
Sun glinted from the flaming dragon as it rose above the buildings. The flapping noise came not from its wings, but from the sail on which it was painted.
