The One Ring: Meeples fitting TOR?

Wed 01 Dec 2021, 10:55

I am considering using meeples as miniatures for TOR.

Any suggestions on somewhat fitting meeples for Middle Earth? I want pieces that at least to some extent resemble common enemies such as orcs, goblin archers, trolls, spiders, wargs and wights. Nothing fancy, cheap if possible. Fine if weapon type can be seen, like sword or bow. No need for Balrogs, dragons etc, and primarily for enemies but some meeples that can work as the fellowship would be nice of course.
Preferably in the same set/line or from same source. A boardgame|dungeon crawler maybe, with most of the above?

Fantasy Flight games has a boardgame with miniatures and Games Workshop had a table top wargame set in the LOTR universe.

But actual meeples, I haven't heard of any.

I probably wouldn't use figures at all but if I did I'd go for one of the 28mm plastic ranges like the following...

You'd just have to do a bit of research into what sprues are available that would look suitably "Middle-earthy".

There's also this game from Fantasy Flight that has miniatures - both in the base game and in expansions for it...

Thanks, but I will go for meeples. Found that both fantasy meeples from Meeplewood.com and Vast Mysterius Mansions’ meeple expansion were cheap and offered almost every figure I needed.

Another option would be the War of the Ring board game miniatures. There are various sets of them for sale on eBay.
