Battle of Bywater

Post by SergeantChipmunk44 »

The Battle of Bywater occurred on November 13, 1419 and was the last battle in the War for the Ring. Shire-folk, led by Merry and Pippin, trapped and surrounded a group of Ruffians working for Sharkey (Saruman). The Hobbits used farm carts and wagons to trap the savage men on the road. The Ruffians attempted to fight their way out of their entrapment, but they were soon encircled and forced to surrender. Merry himself slew the leader of the Ruffians.

This is a scene from the end of the Return of the King book. I've always thought that this battle was interesting since it's one of the few battles involving multiple Hobbits throughout the history of Middle Earth. Thanks for viewing!
Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

Those carts look smooth. I also like the tree.

Nicely claustrophobic! Very good looking rocks. I also like the use of the carts and the pitchfork. Medieval times often saw very improvised weapons in battle! :)

Nicely done. Cool that you did this, not a scene that gets MOCed very often because it's not in the movie :(

Ditto. Though I wish they'd added it to the movie, at least the extended edition. Nice rocks, tree, and carts!
