It all began with the forging of the Great plastic models. Three were given to the admins; immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven, to the moderators, great posters and craftsmen of the forum halls. And nine, nine models were gifted to the race of one-ringers, who above all else desire free models. For within these models was bound the strength and the will to persist with their hobbies. But they were all of them deceived, for another miniature was made. In the land of Haywards Heath, in the fires of his bedroom, the Dark Lord SuicidalMarsbar forged in secret, a master figurine, to control all others. And into this miniature he poured all his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One mini to rule them all…

You're all foooooools!

Makes me feel warm and fuzzy being a noob on the forum and seeing this.

Well done sir!

Wow what a nice way to celebrate the anniversary! Would love to add some stuff to my Elves/Gondor but as I live outside the UK I wouldn't ask for anything. I hope everyone is enjoying the anniversary here!

Since I live in the US, I wouldn't burden you with paying shipping for a single mini, but this is great. You're such a generous person, lol, after spending so much time and money on minis I don't think I'd ever just give them away like this.

Hey man, I read something about your mailbox getting full? Just wanted to let you know I kicked in a couple bucks for shipping! Not sure what international is but I hope I helped alleviate your monetary stress XD

Have a good one.

Ok guys first 8 models bein sent out today (only had 20 mins to make packages today. Once you get your package I would appreciate it if you send me approximately 1 pound (2 euros/dollars) to josephhorsfall1995@gmail.com to cover the postage costs if you live outside the uk - if you live in the UK the postage isn't as much an issue and I've already received a few handy donations that should cover everyone:)

P.S: Some of the painting was done years ago, if you reckon this is the case please re-do them if you are going to post any images :p

In contrast to my recent post: i have terrible news. Because the mini's are over 2/3mm thick they will cost £3.50 to post to outside the uk, i was sure they would clarify as letters. This essentially means posting the ones i had with me today would have wiped out all my donations and then some, and i would still have a dozen or two packages to send out the uk. Basically i simply cannot post any single mini's to outside the uk. Pm me if you have PayPal'd me money and want it back, so sorry to all my worldly friends :'(

On a more bubbly note, the rest of the uk packages will be sent out before the week is up.

If you've got any spare Wood Elves/High Elves/Rangers/Rohan then be sure to send one my way, I live in the UK and I'll pay the postage!

No problem marsbar everyone will understand that it should not cost you too much as you are already giving them.

Haha, so this is how you're doing your backlog reduction oath..? :lol:
No, seriously though: it's a very generous offer! 8) This is a really, really nice gesture!

I'm not requesting you to send me a mini, I have quite a backlog myself and I don't live in the UK, so postage will be more expensive. I hope other can profit from it though.

Great initiative! :yay:

Wow, what a gift - been outstanded by the community here! I really wouldn't mind (and in fact would be incredibly humbled instead!) if you had a spare unarmoured wood elf I could have!

If you have any (NOT Isengard) Evil models left and are still feeling extremely charitable you can give me a PM, but I don't mind if you don't :wink:

Hey marsbar, I realise this post is several months old now however I have only just stumbled upon it! If you are still feeling in a generous, giving mood, I wouldn't mind either a minas tirith warrior to go with my newly finished (more or less) gondor fort or a galadhrim warrior just because they are cool! 8) absolutely no problem if this idea is passed!

Much respect for the idea anyway! Takes someone awesome to do something like that! :-D
