Who hasn't thought about Syvaris and Leg'o'lamb? And other Ullar Elf and Silmarilion Elf parallels.

Krug and Trolls or Fiantooths? Grut Orcs and Orcs? If Aragorn and Alastair aren't cousins in concept (running around the hills with their buddies), then I don't know what is. Vikings and Erohim (OK, they're aren't mounted, but that's all the Erohim were were a light/medium armor mounted vikings).
The Knights can all be substituted for Minas Tirith types.

You can think of Cyprian as a WitchKing type (especially with Chilling Touch).

Sauron was a werewolf darklord, just like Khusomet.

Dragons galore. Spiders too (spider hero in the works for Shelob?)



I don't think they need much more cross pollination on this particular theme, however I remember seeing some e-bay singles for people who wanted to have LotR and Heroscape. Heck, if nothing else buy the LotR miniatures and shop around for some custom rules.

Wait what i don't remember that. since when was sauron a werewolf?
