It's still as hideous as the Bard version, but I think that's because without the bowstrings there's no real indication 'why' the metal is bent that way.

No, since it can still scatter in any direction, but is closer to the intended target.

One thing that bothers me, why it's in AA mount? Did Sauron have that many dragons/balrogs? Because you can't hit any ground target with it, unless enemy is on a hill...
No. 'Precision' in measurement means you're hitting the same point, even if it's off of what you aimed for. 'Accuracy' means you're hitting close to aim target, even if not the same spot each time, like this thing

I wasn't a fan of the windlance in the movies, but apart from the lack of strings it does look accurate to the movie, so... that's fine.

I'm pleasantly surprised that Defence is still getting new models. I think this is the biggest overall sourcebook in terms of new things since the soft reboot right?

It is. If it had all been released together, it would have been a massaive release.
Note 1: The Beornings all come with alternative head options and options to build them with either bows or axes.
Note 2: What the hell colour is Grimbeorns' tunic? I've been staring at it and i can't puzzle out what it actually is.

I figured that would be the case. Gorgeous figures, not sure I'll pay the resin prices through. A 'want' vs a 'need' for me.

Well, consider me pleasantly blind-sided. Grimbeorn and the Beornings are really nice sculpts, detailed but uncluttered. They are some of the nicest woodsmen/villager type sculpts I think i've ever seen. The bear however... Oh dear. Really shows up how terrible GW's current method of digitally sculpting fur is. Admittedly, better then the "fur" on this praetor and these terminators, but not a patch on the likes of the fur on Hvarl Redblade or the Wolfkin. The head on the bear however, is fantastically detailed. And whoever painted it certainly earned their paycheck with those eyes

Charitably, and contrary to the face, I have to insist the main problem with the fur is the way it's painted. They went too bright with the highlight, and they've highlighted far too much of it. It's the traditional Citadel style of painting to show the details of the miniature rather than the miniature itself. Certainly isn't the best looking fur they've sculpted by a long shot, but they'd done themselves no favours with that approach. Automatically Appended Next Post: It's here at last

Bafflingly, all of those sculpts "returning to the range" are listed here as Made to Order. Hopefully a mistake? Considering they're all profiles in the supplement that won't even be out before they disappear again if it's true.

So GW lets us all think those models are coming back to the range on a (semi) permanent basis, and then announces that they are actually a MTO thing? Dick move GW. Now it's just another FOMO cash grab. Hoo boy, now I have to buy all of the stuff I want at once or I miss it. Somebody better press F for my wallet too...

It never rains, but suddenly it pours down releases! DotN and the mounted Easterlings are a must buy. Black Dragons and their Emperor will likely cost the earth and so can wait a while.

That makes sense, it seemed like more an issue of poor formatting.
