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.

 Suladân was leading some men of Harad into the realm of Gondor in search of treasure. But several companies of the Gondorian army, from the capital city of Minas Tirith, were marching with Faramir to intercept them. Could the Haradrim recover the treasure first? And would the fierce warriors of Harad be able to withstand the trained companies of Gondor?
This nail biting battle from War of the Ring was played at NWA's Croydon venue on 21st May.

 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.

 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.
The corsair ship Dragonfire rode gently at anchor as the sound of steel upon steel slowly died away towards the eastern end of the port.

 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.

 The men of Gondor stood ready to receive an attack from the combined forces of men from the east. Sauron had banded together Easterlings, Khandish and Haradrim in an attempt to weaken the men from Minas Tirith before a planned major onslaught.
