Great idea Kindred size looks ok. But there is hardly any form to be detected in the body. What kind of clothes is he wearing?
!need more colours!

Well the preview image looks fuzzy, probably because it's in JPG format. But from what I can see he may need a little more defination in the body like black_rose said. Maybe make the tunic a lighter color to distinquish it from the cloak and shadows.

Which of the five units should I look at?
Is it the tiny brown one, without legs?
There is some dots beside that one, is that some sort of soon-to-be weapon?
I think a male hobbit should have some distinct trousers.
This was just a preliminary shot. I mainly wanted to see if anyone else wanted to do this. This unit is difficult cuz it's so small. But here is another preview. I still have some work to do to define the sword a little more. He has legs, but his cloak is dark in the picture so you cant see them well, i'm going to try to lighten the inside of the cloak as well.

Looks great, using multi figures you could make a fellowship unit though you may have to make more than one;
Legolas (kinboats elf archer)
Aragorn (Perhaps Utahjazz's darkage swordsman)
Merry
pippin
and Gimli (one of kindreds dwarfs)
Frodo
sam
(gollum, would be hidden perhaps).
Borromir (could be saraficed to save the others).
Gandalf (If you had no alternative you could use the ancient leader figure).
Sauron could be a very strong defencive unit deployed in mount doom, or a bottle kneck in the impassable mountains surrounding mordor and frodo and sam could be a cruise misslie unit, capable of killing sauron in one hit, that removes the ringbearer from the game. The victory points could be on mount doom or in the city containing sauron.
One more thing; if you make his cloak a fairly bright green you can do a colour swap to get different individual halflings;
Frodo= white cloak
Sam= brown cloak
Merry= green cloak (rohan)
pippin= Black cloak (minas tirith guard)
Then normal halflings could have red cloaks. Also Halflings are better with bows than swords.

What if The Ring is a Strong Cruise Missile, and Frodo is a landbased Transport unit which can only carry one. (The ring), and it has Kill on, and a Rate of Fire of 4, and sauron has 2 in Health, and the Ring has 4 times saurons defense or something to ensure his defeat.
And Both Sauron and Frodo are King units. With Regicide on.
