Simon Grant makes the Death of Gothmog into a removable display, drilling the base so Aragorn and Gimli can still serve as gaming models and adding Legolas without distracting from the central scene. Dominic Murray instead mounts and blends the Fate of the Witch King into a permanent vignette, painting its three characters separately before assembly. Both projects use a memorable film moment to give the collecting challenge a narrative finish.

Chad Mierzwa builds two sets of death-world scenery by adapting familiar plastic kits into hostile alien environments. Wire vines, red warning-coloured plants and non-green foliage transform a jungle battlefield, while tilted ruins, caustic pools, icicles and powdery snow suggest an isolated frozen outpost. He reuses leftover parts and matches weathering across the ground and structures, giving the scattered pieces a consistent environmental story.

Matt builds his flamboyant Bright Wizard around the Strong Fashion Sense flaw, using an Old World Battle Wizard with a swapped Battlemage head and a frog familiar. Red and yellow Contrast-painted robes reinforce the fiery theme without supplying named colours. The accompanying Advanced Arcanist warscroll combines the familiar, a blasting wand and spell mastery with a concealment spell imagined as a cloud of choking ash and cinders.
