Council of Elrond

Yes - it is pretty awesome!

I opened a booster pack. I saw Éowyn. The only thing that has stopped me buying since is lack of funds.

AFAIK Angelo Montanini doesn't sell his original paintings. (The Eowyn painting in the Greisinger Museum in Switzerland looks like it was commissioned later).

Believe it or not, I was offered the original fpor 'Fury of the Iron Crown' by Angelo for a whopping Eu3000.

Even though I collect the art (I have 24 paintings now in total), this was waaaayyyyy outside my budget.

Also found this on the Greisinger museum Facebook page:

There is a nice montage of original meccg art behind the fellas in the foreground.

The original painting by Rob Alexander is currently up for sale on Ebay!

Wow!

This painting went for a really great price. Really pleased for both the seller and buyer (not me)!

Looks like Donato Giancola didn't study the source well, unless, of course, this is not the first meeting, which it is, I presume, according to the flavor text.
"It is told in the Lay of Leithian that Beren came stumbling into Doriath grey and bowed as with many years of woe, so great had been the torment of the road" (The Silmarillion).
I doubt Beren would have been running around Dungortheb in such an attire

While the above photo shows the artists, here is one that shows the players

Hmmm, are you sure you play MECCG and not Heavy metal??

I really want to know who is who in that picture!

I think the players look like they have all just escaped from the mines of Moria.

The chap on the far left looks like a descendant of Bombur, and the chap fifth from left has a prize-winning Dwarf beard.

Simply put.. I have OCD..... when it comes to collecting. I get in over my head and do everything I can to complete the collections....

Return of the King

Not the greatest Illustration in the cards, but thematically I love it.
Took me quite a long time to collect it in all available languages, but some ten years ago I finished that task.
Will post a pic some day.

I'm kind of obsessed with Vilya. This is probably because Elrond is my #1 guy, and Vilya makes him unstoppable. Would love to see an updated, high detail artwork.
