MEC Category C: The Clouds Burst

[Sir Gareth]

My entry for MEC Category C.

"So began a battle that none had expected; and it was called the Battle of Five Armies, and it was very terrible. Upon one side were the Goblins and the wild Wolves, and upon the other were Elves and Men and Dwarves."

- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

Without Minifigures

"The Goblins and the wild Wolves"

"Elves and Men and Dwarves"

"The Eagles are coming!"

The Five Armies

More pictures here.

I really wanted this to actually look like a battle of five armies, so I crammed in as many minifigures as possible. Not counting Gandalf and Bilbo, I managed to fit in eighteen and a Warg.

Cool I've never read the book so it's like a sneak peak to the movie

I think you should have made this bigger, since it was a big battle.

Thanks, N8ster2! You should read the book, it's one of my all-time favorites, and much better than the films.

I would have made it bigger, but the contest has a 16x16 size limit.
