April 2026: Shirriff Lotho UV resin miniature released.
Posted by Michael O'Brien on 1st Apr 2026
Lotho began his dominance of the Shire by selling his crops of pipe-weed to Saruman at Isengard. In order to protect his growing interests he began to employ Dunlendings and other Mannish Ruffians who were actually in the pay of Saruman. By this means he gained effective control of much of the Shire. When Saruman himself eventually arrived in the Shire he no longer needed chief Lotho whom he imprisoned and later had murdered.
This was the Feb/March 2025 winning Fellowship idea. It is a 32mm scale miniature.
