New GW Lord of the Rings/Hobbit miniatures.

Post by MatthewB »

I saw this on another Forum, and thought that I should post it here, so that should one of the lurkers, or other members happen by, they would be able to plan for the eventual release of these miniatures.

They are from Games Workshop (naturally, which is kinda a shame. Pity that Tom Meier isn't capable of handling the workload of producing the LotR line), and the codes "RE" and "PL" mean "Finecast Resin" and "Plastic."

I also took the liberty of organizing them by type, and I annotated a few of them (either the ones that look most promising, or the ones that were like "Really?!?!" - like the inclusion of Aravir, who was the father of Aragorn I, 700 years before the events of The Hobbit took place. I wonder if they confused Arathorn with Aravir, and Aragorn I with Aragorn II, who eventually went on to become King Ellesar I of Gondor and Arnor).

Some of these are just stupid (Bofur on a Dragon, for instance. Or why the HELL they need to have Mounted Dwarves, on Hogs/Boars no less. Tolkien would not be happy with that, and I shall just ignore that such things exist. Dwarves had all foot armies. They did not ride freaking pigs), but they do have a few that will be pretty cool. 2nd Age Elven Cavalry for instance, is one thing that I shall be happy about (I don't much care for the Galadhrim cavalry, even though it has more appropriate spears - double edged - than the swords/spears of the rest of the Elves from Peter Jackson. He just doesn't seem to understand that Elves don't freaking use curved swords. They used STRAIGHT, TWO-EDGED swords. Like Glamdring, in the movies. This was not only a cultural thing, but a religious thing for Tolkien... Anyway, off the soap-box and onto the minis).

Here is the list:

Dwarves on Pigs? Kewl.
I'm sure dwarves *would* have ridden pigs if they could get hold of them.
Maybe they had eaten all the pigs by the time the book begins.

Personally... I'm not happy about it at all.

The Dwarrow in Middle-earth did not ride things. That is made clear in all of the books.

This is purely a Warhammer cross-over that is because of the Open-License with Jackson, and the Tolkien Estate that they are allowed to make a limited number of non-canon miniatures (such as that "Terror of Arnor/Angmar" thing).

The Silmarillion has a few quotes about the Dwarrow not being good with riding things. You don't ride horses, pigs, or anything else underground, which is where Dwarrow spent most of their time.
