Middle-Earth Unboxing: Éowyn & Merry
May 10, 2019 by dignity
Gerry and Justin unbox one of the many dynamic duos of Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game: Éowyn & Merry.
Those waiting for Beren and Lúthien may have to wait for another few thousand years. And as for the adventures of the two lost Maia that headed way East past Mordor, we can only dream of what they might look like as 28mm models. But what we can have is the triumphant Éowyn and Merry as they sashay across the Pelennor fields. The duo are dynamic not just in taking down the Witch King of Angmar but also in the ways these models can be assembled!
What character from Tolkien's lore would you love to see on the tabletop?

I really need to either read the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit again or re-watch them all as I can’t remember diddly squat about them beyond a vague outline of the story.
@robert NI libraries app have the BBC radio drama of LoTR available at the moment
Those audio dramas are excellent. Really good cast.
I recorded those from the radio in the olden days… they are on Sony Minidisc…
Ian Holm as Frodo in that… and Bilbo in the movies…
Will check it out. Not a member of the library or rather haven’t borrowed a book or used the local library since about 2002.
Always great to see you guys unboxing tiny fighting men even when they’re tiny fighting women and tiny tiny fighting hobbits.
I haven’t bought this yet but being an obsessive compulsive Middle Earth collector I look forward to getting it soon.
But if you dont peg your hobbits in place they could escape – I mean we havnt seen alot of Sam recently so I have to wonder if he should be pegged somewhere…
I have been pegged to my desk.
Lord of the rings and no @dracs? Is he alright?
Gerry s correct once again. Hobbets should be used in Saga as undergrowth.
I don’t believe Gerry plays Saga… but I do think he read Saga magazine…
its that horrid lloyd and warren, trying to lure him away from all the zulus!
worse than that away from my gorgeous Kings of War!!!
I get my over 50s insurance with Saga does that count?
I think so…
If you score three points in a game… does that mean we can call you Gerry Hattrick?
Although it’s a nice miniature, I really think I should finish painting the Escape From Goblin Town box, Battle of Pelennor Fields box and all those non-GW minis I have that were made by Mithril and Grenadier from the olden days… which includes and Eowyn and the Fellowship box…
Don’t you peg out hobbits to attract the enemy in the same way they would tether a a goat to attract tigers?
that was my understanding of why Tolkien added them
I wasn’t expecting plastic.
Does GW do everything in plastic now.
Well I guess they do.
They look good. Have to look what they cost.
I think Sam & Gerry should have done the unboxing……….
Sam would have been riding the horse, not Pippin, as Sam is the same scale.
a great part in the story an great figures.
I like that GW gave the option of having Merry on the horse or not.
I’m a terrible nerd. I just had to google who she is
nice the added the option to having merry on the horse or not
I’m really liking the new minis for Middle Earth coming out of Forge World and GW.
“But no living man am I !” An epic scene in the book, and well done in the film also. Pretty much a must have set!
