TerranScapes have announced two new Lord of the Rings themed terrain pieces.

From their announcement:

This classic Lord of the Rings setting gets a whole new make over by TerranScapes. Utilizing hollow resin casting for the hill, and capitalizing on Hirst Arts mold detail and beauty, TerranScapes has created an olympian hill worthy of the legend.

The hill towers to a high of 6 inches, covers nearly 4 square feet of table space and features an expansive 13 inch diameter flat top. The ruins, featuring an 8 inch diameter, capture the movie feel with crumbling walls, a ruined staircase and radial arms. To add value to this piece, the hill is split into two halves allowing for table edge placement, and the ruins are a stand alone piece allowing for even more flexibility in how it and the hill are used.

The hill halves and the ruins are all available separately allowing gamers to choose the pieces that suit them best.
