Mithril Releases: MS576 Junast & MS577 Huorn metal figures.

Mithril Miniatures has released two new 32mm scale metal miniatures in April 2012. These won September and October 2012 votes in the Mithril Fellowship club.


Junast of Far-Harad
Huorns are some of the oldest creatures on Middle-earth. According to Treebeard, they are wild and dangerous, but the Ents take care of them. They may have been Ents that became tree-ish or Trees that became Ent-ish. Or both.They can only communicate with Ents, not other creatures. They have the ability to create darkness to cover their movements, which can be quick and quite, despite their size and shape. Here you see a Huorn dismember an Isengard Orc that was fleeing from the broken siege of Helm’s Deep.


Huorn Junast is an ICE generated character, who appears in the LotR RPG module FAR HARAD (p.17). He was a simple goatherder who undertook a dangerous quest to destroy the body that Vatra (an avatar of Sauron) was creating for himself in the Land of the Sun. He partially succeeded in his quest and at least delayed the return of Vatra.

New Mithril Vignette: 'Beregond fighting troll at the black gate'.

Beregond fighting troll at the Black Gate Mithril Miniatures has finally released one of the most exciting vignettes in years. MS574 contains 4 separate figures plus a large and very detailed base (with 2 dead soldiers on it) and plenty of accessories. It is 32mm scale metal miniature that is NOT primed and does require assembly.

This vignette depicts the opening scene of the battle of the black gate.

The black Trolls of Mordor are unleashed upon the armies of Gondor, and serve as shock troops, cutting swathes through the Gondorian ranks. Armed with war-hammers they strike down all before them. Lying dead on the ground are two Gondorian city spearmen, the Troll’s first victims.

A Dol Amroth infantryman, whose own unit stands with Beregond and his men at this part of the battle front, is kneeling, also wounded by the great Troll. The awful creature itself has just struck at Beregond, shattering his shield.

Beregond, attired in the splendid garb of the Minas Tirith guards staggers back under the impact while a fearful yet determined Pippin, also attired as a Minas Tirith guard, attempts to stand his ground.

This was June 2011's winning Fellowship Club entry. It was released in April 2012.
This has already raised a lot of comments on Mithril's forum. Here are some of them:

"wow!!! what a vignette!!! this is absolutly stunning!"
"ohmygosh! There's no words than can make justice to this."

"Incredible !!!!"

"Brilliant! absolutely brilliant. This is once more Chris Tubb at his very best!!!!!"

"unbelievable .... awesome ..."

"Best vignette since MB279! "

"Like finding the Arkenstone among a pile of other treasures , What a piece of outstanding craftmanship."

"Truly sensational work.....One of the best Mithrils ever.."

The Dwarves are the ultimate defence faction, capable of taking punishment like no other as well as dishing out retribution in spades.

The Stygian Horde is downright scary, and possibly the scariest faction next to the Devout itself.
They seem to have no fear of death, and have a single mindedness that can give even their bravest enemies pause for thought.

Finally the secretic Swamp Goblins, isolationists and private. They rule their lands and have evolved their defences with the local wildlife. Few enter their domain and live to walk out again.

New February Mithril Miniatures released.

In February 2012 Mithril Miniatures released 2 more 32mm scale metal miniatures from their Gold Status Fellowship Club. These are pre-primed to allow swift painting.


These concepts were submitted by members of the club in July and August 2011, and won the relevant votes against stiff competition. There is a limited stock available of only 150 each.




'Crebain reporting to Saruman'




Crebain were a large species of crow that inhabited the land of Dunland during the Third Age. They were often used as servants and spies by various evil powers, notably Saruman. During the War of the Ring, a flock of crebain searched for the Ring-bearer.



Saruman was a powerful wizard that became corrupted and allied himself with Sauron. He was killed in the Shire by Grima Wormtongue and was destroyed utterly as he was denied resurrection since he had betrayed his wizardly order, the Istari.

'Mauhur, Orc Commander in Isengard'



Mauhúr was an Uruk-hai captain under the command of Uglúk, who's company was one night surrounded by a group of Rohirrim, led by Éomer. When the Uruk-hai attacked, the Rohirrim rode to meet them in a bloody battle where many orcs were slaughtered.
The orcs' captives, Merry and Pippin, found themselves outside the circle and were able to escape into Fangorn Forest. Mauhúr perished with the other orcs in the ensuing battle.
