A Silmarillion chess set would be very cool, although I'm afraid there wouldn't be much market for it. I shall not even attempt to design one [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]. As for LOTR though here is my version:

White
King: Aragorn (what else)
Queen: Arwen (again, what else)
Bishops: Legolas and Gimli
Nights: Gandalf and Boromir
Rooks: Minas Tirith and Helms Deep
Pawns: soldiers of Gondor and possibly Rohan

Black
King: Eye of Sauron (on Barad-dûr)
Queen: Shelob (nothing else really works)
Bishops: Mouth of Sauron and Gothmog (the freaky orc at Pelonnor Fields)
Nights: Witch King of Angmar and Sauroman
Rooks: Minis Morgul and Orthanc
Pawns: Orcs of course!

The only thing I don't like is no Frodo and Sam, although they weren't really doing the fighting.
