Description

A legendary weapon from Middle-earth

In The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Grond is the enormous, wolf-headed battering ram that brings down the gate of Minas Tirith during the decisive battle. The name originates in J.R.R. Tolkien's writing and was brought to the screen memorably as a burning siege engine hauled by orcs. This set leans into that exact scene, recreating one of the battle's most dramatic moments as a standalone build rather than focusing on figures or buildings alone. For fans of the film trilogy, this is one of the few builds dedicated entirely to a single siege weapon.

Two minifigures for the scene

With two included minifigures, the ram's operating crew can be suggested, taking the set beyond a simple static model on its own. That makes it possible to slot Grond directly into larger diorama setups from the Lord of the Rings range, for example alongside existing Minas Tirith sets already on a shelf. Anyone who remembers the battle scene from the film can recreate a central moment of the siege at home, complete with the two figures crewing the ram.

Build style and colours

With 93 unique elements across 307 pieces, the build stays compact but includes clearly separate stages for the ram head, the undercarriage and the towing mechanism. Dark bluish grey and black form the metal and timber base of the structure, while reddish brown adds wooden detail and light bluish grey contributes further structural elements. This colour choice underlines the weapon's raw, war-torn character and matches the grim visual tone familiar from the siege of Minas Tirith in the film trilogy.

Parts list for collectors

The full parts list on this page details all 93 elements, which is useful when hunting for dark or reddish brown specialised pieces for your own Middle-earth dioramas. For collectors combining several Lord of the Rings sets, the list also gives a solid basis for comparing recurring components across the range and spotting pieces shared between sets.
