In scattered and isolated places across Middle-earth, the dead walk,
ever bound to this world by sorcery or curse. Almost all undying beings
are bound into the service of Sauron, he who forged their deathless
existence. By contrast, the spirit-folk of the Dwimorberg are tied to an
altogether different fate. When Elendil marched against Sauron, his
son, Isildur, came to the Dwimorberg and obtained an oath-sworn promise
of aid against the forces of Mordor from the people that lived there.
Yet when Isildur called upon the people of the mountains to fight, they
scattered and fled, entombing themselves in their fortress rather than
fighting in fulfilment of their promise. In rage at their betrayer,
Isildur cursed them to wander the hills for all eternity until their
oath was met. To this day, their oath has yet to be fulfilled...
I found these guys on ebay a few weeks back. There were 20 models plus the King of the Dead, who I haven't painted up yet. This should bring the total number up to 52, which should make a decent ally detachment for War of the Ring or Kings of War.

Nice figures and a nice find on ebay. Would like to get some of these :-)
