Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game Riddles In The Dark Miniature Set

The Riddles In The Dark miniature set is part of Games Workshop's Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game system, recreating the iconic scene from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit where Bilbo Baggins encounters Gollum deep within the Misty Mountains. This detailed resin kit allows hobbyists to build and paint a diorama-style display piece or use the miniatures in tabletop wargaming scenarios. The set captures the tense moment from the chapter 'Riddles in the Dark,' providing a narrative centrepiece for collectors and gamers alike. The kit contains four finely cast resin components that form two character miniatures and scenic elements. Bilbo Baggins is depicted in his travelling attire—a long coat and shortened trousers—while holding his Elvish sword, Sting. Gollum is sculpted in a crouching, skulking pose atop a textured rocky base. Additional scenery includes a primitively crafted wooden boat containing fish remains, enhancing the underground lake setting. The set comes with four 25mm round bases, making the miniatures ready for gaming use once assembled. As with most specialist miniatures, they are supplied unpainted and unassembled, requiring glue and modelling tools for construction. This product is ideal for miniature painting enthusiasts, collectors of Tolkien-themed memorabilia, and players of the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game. The detailed sculpting offers excellent opportunities for advanced painting techniques, particularly on the character faces, clothing textures, and scenic details. For gamers, these miniatures can represent specific characters in narrative play scenarios or be used as objective markers. The set is manufactured to order as part of Games Workshop's Direct Only range, ensuring quality resin casting. It serves as both a challenging hobby project and a distinctive addition to any Middle-earth collection.
