Anyone come across any good models suitable for use as civilians with the LOTR range of models..., particularly that scale well with the GW range...

Dark age / Saxon makes sense for Rohan, and Bree / Wilderland I am thinking...

Not sure about Gondor... the few images we see during siege of MT are of grey robed folk..., maybe some kind of Mediterranean late medieval/early renaissance look?

Any thoughts recommendations appreciated.

Cheers
Scott

Some of the Gripping Beast civilians will work for the Dark Age type

not sure about Gondor maybe Mirliton

Black tree design might have some Dark age ones if my memeory serves me correctly.....

I have a set of Foundry's Viking Civilians as Rohan civilians. Foundry's minis are usually of the large-headed and bulky style and generally not very LotR-looking, but these civilians fit better into LotR style than the viking warriors.

I have some of the Hasslefree Fantasy Villagers:

Not all in, shall we say, the Middle-earth style, but who wouldn't want a village idiot?
Some of their dwarves do fit into our theme and there are a couple of amusing versions:

Grimdalf appeals a lot :)
Benn, The Nain and Russ are quite compatible with LotR.

Perry miniatures have a really nice pack:

and with the right paint job, the clergy would probably work:

I got a set of those pilgrims from Perry miniatures linked to above and once glued to a slotta and based to match the rest of my models, look great as villagers of Rohan. They've been used in many a scenario. They fit especially well, since the Perry brothers sculpted many of the LOTR miniatures too.

Size-wise the Warlord ones will work, if you don't mind the extra-big heads.
