It looks like much of the detail is painted on. :|

Weird.... those are the same instructions I got from Steders.

They'd probably cost more under Knight Models otherwise I agree :D

Something has gone horribly wrong. That elf character looks like Stephen Fry.

I know he's in the Movie, but that's no excuse.

Edit: The Mirkwood Rangers are nice. If I can find them at 25% off, I might buy a box.

While WHFB & 40K players are being urged to pay £3 or £4 for a special stat-line for a model, LoTR/Hobbit SBG players can now download all of the Hobbit mini stats in a pdf from GW's website! Doesn't include the latest releases though. GW haven't bothered editing the page numbers so it's basicly a photocopy of the relevant pages from the £50 Hobbit rules manual.

The Hobbit drop-down title bar on main page, last option "The Hobbit articles", Heroes and villains of Middle-earth pdf.

From this new batch I do intend to pick up the plastic elf box, they'll do nicely for D&D character figs (glad to see a mix of male/female). I've got the WHFB plastics and hate having to glue the neckless bastards together, these single piece figures suit me better :)

Looks short and seems to have a dwarvish blade. Have they re-written the book so much that mad old Thrain or Thror makes an appearance?

and I assume that's Beorn at the bottom? Looks a bit crap, to be honest.
