Glorfindel, Lord of the West

Mighty Glorfindel, the hero reborn...

Perhaps the mightiest of Elven warriors ever to walk Middle-earth, eclipsing even the likes of Elrond or Gil-Galad, fair haired Glorfindel is a legend amongst the Free People.


While he was instrumental in leading his people out when Gondolin fell, he fought mighty Balrogs, and even though he went down in those days, the gods revived him for his selfless sacrifice.  And now he walks in Rivendell, the Last Homely Home.

Even though left out in the movies (his biggest sequence in the book was rewritten with Arwen instead coming to the aid of Frodo), he is included in the Rivendell army list, and that makes Noshi a happy camper.  This classic model is unarmoured, but his immense Fight skill and special rules will make you lucky if you can actually hit him in combat, as he is prone to winning duels with whatever the evil forces throw at him.


I went for really light hair on him, as well as a light grey tunic in order to make him stand out on the table, a true central figure of an Elven force.


One can only imagine how the Quest of the Ringbearer would have gone had he indeed been allowed to join the Fellowship...
