Such a Large Collection of Stuff

I've been playing Games Workshop games for a very long time. In fact I remember painting Orc miniatures for Blood Bowl with my cousin - in fact I think I still have them downstairs in my collection. My brother and I went through a phase of Warhammer Fantasy, also. He had a Skaven army and I was building a Tomb Kings army.

I also had my share of wins/losses playing Hero Quest, Battle Masters (that battle mat was AWESOME), Advanced Hero's Quest, etc...

All that said, the game that I really latched on to was GW's Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game. I had a full set of Gondor and Isengard warriors and heroes and scatterings of various other armies. I would spend the entire evening after work painting my miniatures and building terrain pieces. In fact when I acquired the Fellowship of the Ring Supplement Book it had a template to build Ammon Hen/Weathertop and I put that together - it turned out really cool.

I must have bought every book published under the Lord of the Rings line, and when I found out that War of the Ring was going to be released as new game system I was excited and anxious to give it a try.

My friends and I played the game every chance that we had. When we heard that it was not going to be a continually supported game, our hearts broke.

I have collected a lot of notes and modifications and ideas over the years that we played and even did some modeling via code. I plan to share a lot of this information with the greater community in attempt to keep it alive and to have a repository online.

I hope that others that enjoy the game and hobby will find this and make use of the time that has been invested.
