The Noble Collection The Lord of the Rings - Chess Set: Battle for Middle-Earth,Black

Product Information

The pieces are all carved out in perfect precision to resemble the actors who played the characters in the films. Even with the minor flaws, it might have, this particular board is the closest thing you can come to perfection if you are looking for a LOTR chess set. A chess set inspired by The Lord of the Rings trilogy, featuring plastic pieces featuring a wealth of characters, on a card playing board. The Eaglemoss version comes with a booklet that introduces you to the series and gives character introductions for each of the pieces. It is nothing short of a work of art that shows in detail, the journey that was undertaken by Frodo and his friends, the enemies he meets and his ultimate destination at Mordor, to destroy the One Ring.

As you will find out, the work that went into making this particular board, takes into account the classic style of chess and figurines design. Unless you want to get something that will see frequent use, this board, made of hardwood, is what you will need. When it comes to the pieces, the makers use resin to create a level of detail that is hard to achieve with most materials. However, in choosing the material of your chess set, you will need to consider things like the kind of work you will need to put into maintaining them. The minatures sit on good stands and can be used if liked as chess pieces but I've just got them on display.This Lord of the Rings chess board is a magnificent work of art, detailing the story of Frodo, the reluctant hero of The Shire, and the friends and foes he encounters throughout his amazing journey. Character likenesses, attire and weaponry have been meticulously reproduced down to the finest detail. They each had exactly the same figures in- none of them are recognisable characters either, just the dregs of whatever Zavvi couldn’t sell separate. The board opens up to reveal a foam storage compartment that will house all the pieces in cur-outs for each of the individual characters.

Character likenesses, costumes and weaponry, are meticulously reproduced down to the finest detail, and each chess piece approved by New Line Cinema – and the individual actors – to ensure total authenticity.Some of the pieces you will have the pleasure to play with include Aragorn, Arwen, Gandalf, Galadriel, Saruman, Frodo, Sam, Pippin, Merry, Lurtz, Boromir, and four unique orcs, Orthanc Tower, Cave Troll, and Uruk Hai. The 32 chess pieces are beautifully crafted pieces portraying a Lord of the Rings character in the epic final battle for Middle-earth.
