been using enough mithril models to fill in missing GW gaps.

Found this release list via an unofficial Facebook page

In metal? NICE!

These are not 1 week limited made to order right?

Seems as if they may be here to stay, but not 100% on that.

Just got a Resin Witch King, so I share your joy.

A better picture.

Direct only web re-release in metal.

Yesss. If they keep up re-releases like that my wallets gonna be a sad little bastard. Armored Glorfindel is one of my all time favorite sculpts.

Hoping either the return or replacement of Elrond isn't too far off.

Awesome!


I was a bit disappointed the stats for my Hobbit box set were not included in the book. This should fix that!

Oh god. That gandalf and pippin are horrifyingly bad models

The versions on foot? If so then yes, they are far from great. The mounted version is pretty decent (and actually manages to look like the actor). The paint job on the foot versions is pretty shocking for a showcase model and the sheer 'swirliness' of the foot Gandalf's robes is too much. The LotR range is usually pretty understated and this just looks like they did a head swap on a AoS Nighthaunt or something (I exagerate but still).

If by "bad" you mean Michael Jackson then yes. Especially amazing considering Pippin is like a centimeter tall. If by bad you mean "not good", well we already know the calibre of your taste based on your horrifyingly bad opinion about the stunningly superb Dol Amroth foot knights

Yes the foot ones.
They look horrific. I can't see how the end product was looked at with any pride or acceptance that it was suitable.

This was my fear with LotR returning. You no longer have the perry twins. So you no longer have competent sculptors who actually give a gak about what they do.

... Mithmee?

Eugh...it's headache inducing reading some of this stuff. Do us all a favour, get the models in hand, examine them and then comment.

I agree the paintjob of the model could be better. Ok, it is very small, but it is not like GW can't pay for painters that can do that kind of stuff. Is a marketing image afterall. They should try to achieve the best paintjob possible.
Not best in the sense of Guiraldez, but by GW standards, and those are normally for the paintjob to show all the details of the model, but this kind of paintjob and the necromunda FW ones actually hide the crisp details of the models. Thats why they paint their Death Guard with those bright and clear paint jobs, to show all of the details.

why? The majority of his posts are just criticisms of the last fifteen years of GW. This is what he does. With no knowledge or experience, just vomit uninformed opinion TMP has Mithmee, Dakka has Valentine...

Seems like everything went up for preorder spare Armored Glorfindel...the model i wanted lol

Good news, but includes some I spent rather too much for ob eBay

That’s a very common sentiment, I’m sure!

This is awesome, not for my bank account, but awesome!!

Im hoping we get a long list like this each month, that would be great!

Question on the Pelenor fields box set: The assembly guide says to leave the shields off the orcs to play the included scenarios, but the included scenarios list orcs with shields. Which is 'correct'?

I'm getting ready to start assembly, and do want to play the included scenarios but eventually (obviously) want to expand to other scenarios.

Honestly I would just put them on and say they dont have them in that specific scenario.

It is official - in emails to retailers today.

Neat, actually a few bits on there I never got before. Looks like I can finally do that camel cavalry.

Hm, were Elrond and Gil-Galad and the Bosun and captain released in resin before they went oop? I could have sworn they were only metal.
