The Goblin hordes from Moria and Gundabad invade Lothlórien. This was the first great battle in our Middle Earth campaign.
Another pic of the Goblin army. The Goblins couldn't match the Elves alone, so brought along a great many Warg Riders, Trolls and other dark creatures.
Here is a chained Wyrm that the Goblins had to try to free.
The Elven army included all my figures and some allies from other members of SSWG. It was an host worthy of eldar days but lacking in powerful creatures other than the characters.
If you go down to the woods today...
One short clip from the extended version is all the battle gets in the movies but the attacks on Lorien are hardly mentioned in the books either. This is a still from the movie.
Galadriel was well guarded on a hill deep in the forest. With hindsight she probably should have been further forward from the start.
These last few pictures were taken later in the battle. That troll did a lot of damage, killing many of the elves it is seen charging here.
On the Goblin left flank the Galadhrim Knights put in an impressive charge but couldn't stop the Goblins breaking through and freeing the Drake.
On the Elven left Galadiel and Celeborn slaughtered a mixed force of Gundadbad orcs, wargs and trolls. It wasn't enough though as too many lives had been lost elsewhere.
The battle was a minor victory for the Goblins and the Galadhrim retreated deeper into the forest to sing sad songs of lamentation for the fallen.
