The Battle of the Pelennor Fields
The Battle of the Pelennor Fields was a scenario and battle report by Joe Dever in White Dwarf 53. It was the second battle report to appear in White Dwarf for Warhammer Fantasy Battle, after Thistlewood, and was based on the battle in The Lord of the Rings for Minas Tirith. The article showed photographs of the battle as well as miniature recommendations for the armies. Joe Dever used some different figures from those he recommended and following research by Mike from Broadsword Miniatures U.K. the list and images have been compiled.
