Full disclosure, this company is run by a good friend of mine (Nic Robson).

Eureka Miniatures has just released a number of Dark Age figures for use with games such as Saga or Dux Bellorum, but are eminently suitable for use with the Lord of the Rings - e.g. as soldiers from the Gondorian Fiefdoms, or Rhovanion militia, even as Dunlendings.

The figures are from a number of different European cultures of the period spanning 400AD to around 900AD and depending on which sales are popular, the ranges will be added to in coming months. They are really nice 25-28mm figures and are not too large for our scale.

And if we're really nice to him, I might be able to get Nic to have an exclusive figure sculpted for One Ring members.

Hi Alan, they do look good don't they, An idea for an exclusive One Ring fig maybe a Dunlending/Norse chieftain cutting his own hand a'la 'Wulf' from the FotR scene where he swears allegiance to Saruman?
Probaly a bit corny, but what the heck :-)

cheers
Greg

Excellent models as normal but I can't really see these taking off in bulk as there are not enough options for any one faction to make an army and too expensive for historical models, almost twice the cost of Perry Miniatures (£1.92 v £1.08). They might be good for fantasy players who are used to paying higher prices but will probably be to small. I'm waiting for Fanticide so I can get my army of Eureka frogs and other amphibians :)
