Well i don't play WOTR but this is great seeing another LOTR article on the site, I will be buying the Blackroot Vale command and Dunhir soon, and this quote was the pick of the bunch. Quote: Duinhir and Blackroot Vale Archers are the best archers folks without pointy ears can muster.
Looking good for SBG stats i think.

Nice find! Question, what's the model with the raised ax in the scout formation on this page? |

I think he was part of the Isengard battlehost box that came out a while ago and then disappeared. Hopefully they will release it in a blister, because he looks great! Perhaps he is an Uruk-hai scout captain. |

It's an Uruk-Hai scout captain that GW made a while back but only released a few due to problems with the mould or something. It's in the Two Towers book and a few other places, but they're really rare. Apparently they were unreleased - http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/LOTR_-_Unreleased[/url] |

it was included in "the host of cirith ungol" mordor host box. it came out a while ago then disappeared as Erurainon the Trombonist mentioned (I have one ), but it was an Orc Captain. Here are some pictures of him, great model!
http://www.warseer.com/gallery/showphot ... 1258470962 http://www.warseer.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=3246 Those boxes were great deals and I hope GW would consider releasing similar big boxes again with reasonable prices. |

Yeah, I picked up two boxes of the Cirith Ungol set just before they discontinued them. Great bargain for sure with a metal Troll, six metal Uruks, command and LOTS of plastics.  I didn't realize that was the only place these Captains came (I've not bought an Orc Command blister).
I think their Wardens of the Westgate (Dwarf) set was another great bargain, but alas that one vanished the week I went to pick it up. 
These box sets were great bargains. Usually worked out that you were getting one free set of plastics ( ~ $20 US) if you bought the $90 one. |

That orc captain is in the Mordor Orc Command: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat150073a&prodId=prod1080135 I think Longbottom Leaf meant the Uruk-hai Scout with two-handed axe. See gambit025's post for a link to the pic. |

Yeah, that makes sense. I didn't think there was anything unique about the C.U. captain (though it was still a great box set). |

I just ordered Duinhir, the BV Command and plastic SKoDA. The first two will go with a pack of plastic rangers I have sitting in the cupboard untouched. I am not sure about Battlehosts and WotR. I have played WotR once at my local GW and wasn't too keen as I am more of a skirmish/RPG gamer. That said, it would put to good use the multitudes of minis I have but I am not sure if it warrants the extra groats required to spend on them. |

The good thing is that Wood Elf and Isengard players can maximise the pictures to see an example battlehost of each of theirs (there's a Rohan one that you can just about read in WD, maybe another Isengard one or it could be the same one) to help entice them into buying the book. I believe that I have one waiting for me at my parents' house, but I'm not going down there for another 3 weeks! Argh
