I spotted this today in TabletopGamingNews.com:

Wargame Shop have released for download a set of Fantasy Rules for Tolkien’s Middle Earth. Based on the books and ten years in the design and test playing these rules allow actions from skirmish encounters to full out company warfare. The forty page booklet covers all the rules you require including specific heroic feats for the main characters and spells for wizards and the wise.
Combat is simple with each figure having its own ability value, this is used for both attack and defence. All you have to do is add the values on the bases of your figures and roll a dice, its that simple. The rules are flexible and allow for company combat with integrated individual combat
There is a link to the store and some battle reports with photographs. Worth considering, if GW rulebooks are getting too expensive - you can still use the minis!
Ah - obvious mistake - here are the links:
