I've been thinking about picking up a box set of Lord of the Rings. I'm sorely tempted by the new The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey box set, and the LE version is still available, but I know I'd have to pick a million extra things to go with it; extra goblins, the planking set of Goblin Town, a ton of Hunter Orcs on Wargs, magnetic bases for all of it...

But while looking up the painting guides online, (GW didn't include them with their $10 WD, they expect you to pay for the iPad version...) I found this blog entry:

Holy crap, *talk* about a Hobbit painting project...
