These are highly detailed Citadel Finecast High Elf Warriors. Each model wears superbly crafted attire including long flowing robes and intricately detailed armour. Each of these Warriors grips a long glaive. They also carry a flamboyant shield featuring daedal patterns and with a large gem set into it.

The kit comes with two Dwarves, a loader and a firer, each one wearing armour, chainmail and iron helmets. They also wear sturdy boots, tunics, and one carries a satchel and a spare ball, while the other aims the Ballista. Both, of course, display mighty beards.

I read Erkenbrand's entry yesterday, that made me laugh a little. You've said it perfectly - it really is nothing more than a monkey thinking he is the greatest writer of all because he's found a thesaurus.

Erkenbrand of the Red Shield is a legend in Rohan, a bold captain whose tireless defence of the Westfold has rescued scores of villages from the torch, and saved countless lives from marauding Orcs.

In the kit you get two models - Erkenbrand on foot, posed with his sword stretched out and his shield at the ready;

on the other he sits atop a magnificent warhorse,

with his sword raised as if he's about to ride into the thick of battle.

Each model comes with elegant robes

and ornate chainmail.

As well as a plumed helmet he wears leather belts, straps and boots, and carries the Horn of the Hammerhand.

This kit is supplied unpainted and requires assembly - we recommend using Citadel Super Glue and Citadel Paints...

"display mighty fine beards" lol
