The ruler of Mirkwood, Thranduil is a wise but proud king who cares little for those beyond his own borders. Journeying to Erebor to reclaim the white gems of Lasgalen that dwell within the mountain, gems that Thranduil desires above all else in order to remember his late wife, when his attempt to barter the Arkenstone™ for the return of these gems fails, Thranduil prepares to launch an assault upon Erebor. However, the arrival of Azog's armies cuts short the feud between Elves and Dwarves, and Thranduil must now prepare for a battle he did not expect. Riding his mighty Elk into battle, the Elvenking's skill with a blade is unmatched within his own realm, as countless Orcs would discover at The Battle of the Five Armies.
A swordsman of consummate skill, Thranduil is one of the mightiest heroes available, capable of hacking down countless enemies with his Elven blades. This resin model, which comes in a presentation box as part of The Hobbit: Motion Picture Trilogy™ Character Series, is a fantastically detailed rendition of Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm charging into battle atop a powerful war Elk, blade held aloft. Not only does this model feature intricate details – the armour, hair and cloak of Thranduil as well as the mane of the Elk are picked out elegantly – but it features a lavishly-sculpted scenic base, depicting a broken archway and pillars with a slain enemy lying prone. The scenic base comes apart, and Thranduil can be lifted out on his own gaming base.
Rules for Thranduil can be found in The Hobbit: Motion Picture Trilogy™: There And Back Again.
This resin kit comes as 19 components, and is supplied with a 50mm round base and a 105x70mm oval scenic base.
