Among the most ambitious offerings is a massive nine-card panorama titled The Five Armies Clash!, illustrated by Denman Rooke. This display portrays the chaotic conflict where various factions fight over the dragon's massive hoard. Another notable arrangement is the six-card sequence Fight with the Great Goblin, painted by Ted Nasmith, which shows Gandalf the Grey confronting the subterranean ruler while wielding his famous blade, Glamdring the Foehammer.
