Default Lord of the Rings Stats?

Being new to TFT and the community, I'll ask a simple question.

Has anyone made up TFT stats for Tolkien characters?

I have a ton of figures and would like to use them for both role playing and combat.

Wow, that's a can of worms...

yes, but the stats for a Can of Worms would probably be easier to create

Yes; I've got a beastiary of something like 30-40 Middle-Earth-appropriate critters and bad guys, and there is a web site out there where someone presents a TFT table top skirmish scenario based on one or another of the fights in Moria, and it includes pretty reasonable write ups of the fellowship.

And, I find TFT is a great system for gaming in middle earth; I've run a couple of campaigns and they were tons of fun.

Here is Rick Smith's Ranger Prince post.

Rules for how many talents (skills) a character can have seem to be in a bit of a flux. Rick's post gives a fair approximation of an Aragorn-like character.

Here is a link to a more or less plausible application of TFT to a middle earth battle; you could fiddle with the details, but it is not so different from what I would do:

Howard Thompson. See the adventure in Dragons of Underearth.
