Isn't he French? I thought he either gave or is about to give the French "Hi" to the Brits. :p

Other way round isn’t it? British ‘salute’ to the French? As the story goes anyway.

Correct, the bowman's salute is a false legend that the French would cut off the bow fingers of any English archer they captured, so the salute is a way of saying 'I can loose an arrow'.

Nice tale, but sadly there is no evidence to support it.

As for the model, very nice, the pose is quite menacing.

Are these guys plastic?

I like them both. Although first thing i'd be doing to the priest is cutting the rock out from under his foot and adding a dead dwarf.

It's the "I have the Power" clutching nothing hand gesture.

Do you mean this command? It's still available on the AUS website, albeit Temporarily out of Stock.

Forgeworld most likely.

Almost certainly resin.

For the foreseeable I'd only expect major film-present characters to be in plastic.

Pastry. You have to put them together with egg-wash.

Ugh. Such a pity. I was dearly hoping for dough.

No, you have to use the dough to buy them.

But only if you really knead them.

Oh I love that! :lol

I've learned a bit about pointing in this thread!

Personally I thought he was doing the whole "point at my eyes and then point at yours" threatening gesture.

There's probably a name for that.

I have my eyes on you, or, I'm watching you, or, watch yourself

I quite like the pose, but I think this may be the meme you've been looking for....

New FAQ's available. One even comes from the future! (error on month )

Good, simple fixes to the Vanquishers.

Now there's a post that I'm happy to exalt.

Here's the link to the community announcement which itself has a link to the actual FAQs: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/02/03/dragon-cults-and-powerful-heroes-headline-februarys-middle-earth-strategy-battle-game-faqs/

You're welcome!

MTO next week:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/02/06/sunday-preview-dominate-the-eightpoints-and-middle-earth-with-next-weeks-pre-orders/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sunday-preview&utm_content=sundaypreview060222&fbclid=IwAR3olvM_kM7i9qipxIZbUwey9DWAThSuk-YoHH5gxU07s_Inm49Nwws_JAk

Personally, i think it will just be a warband of unarmoured wood elves for me. Nothing else screams at me.

I gotta have those Easterlings, and possibly the Moria guys too, mainly because that Captain sculpt isn't in the command set.

Wonder if the Fellowship-themed MTO has been cancelled then?

No, someone asked on the facebook thread and they said it was still due. The original article did say this year, just not when this year.

Well this came at a really gakky time for me. With a big expense having just all but depleted my slush fund i'll now have to be more selective with what I get. Looks like I'll be missing out on Haldirs elves again.
Probably grab the goblin shaman as he's not all that common. Hopefully be able to squeeze in the Easterling horde too.

The captain of dale has quite an expression on his face.

Better hurry, you'll only have another dozen or so chances to get them

Have to set up a competition thread for who has the most bent pikemen spears.

Yeah they certainly wont be made available again for when the Two Towers based MTO rolls around.

Have the Ruins of Osgiliath quietly slipped back into production? I'd swear blind that they weren't available earlier in the year....

Stuff goes out of stock and back all the time.

This isn't an "in and out of stock" situation. They flatout were not for sale for a chunk of time.

Yeah, I actually checked just last week, working on a Fiefdoms army that needs some scenery, and that set wasn't there
