I'm also player if Field of Glory (an History Wargame) and I consider this more strategic then WOR. So I'd like to play greats battles, ex. Battle of five armies, whit FoG regulament, with some change.

Do you know if ther'are some similar regulament? I see Warmaster, but I didn't like reviews

For fantasy miniatures I see Eureka and Mirliton

Copplestone Castings has some fantastic 10mm 'Fantasy' models (take a look and see what they remind you of):

You can see some painted ones in my WIP thread. They are a joy to paint, and very nicely detailed, but it's not 15mm.
They also have another range of of 15mm Fantasy. Though perhaps less suitable, some of it will still work perfectly well! Especially those Dwarves look good I think.

Thankyou, fantastic Lotr miniatures! what a pity ther'arent dwarf and elf!

well, it's all the same to me 15mm or 10mm, but all miniatures must have the same range.

I found something in 10mm

Yeah, they only have 15mm Dwarves, so that won't really work well with 10mm Men.
Some of the Pendraken minis are indeed very suitable. The third link has the Rangers of Copplestone which I posted, so you can buy them there.
Thanks for the first link though! I didn't know that company yet, but it looks really good. :)

By the way, the now out-of-production Battle of the Five Armies has lots of 10mm minis for the Hobbit!

Well, it was a Specialist Game by Gamesworkshop, but it's not sold any more.
You can sometimes find it on ebay, but it's usually expensive, or sometimes even at the back of a shelve in an independent retailer.
Here's some info:
