| Post subject: | White Dwarf Weekly #46 SPOILERS! |
So here we have a photo of the contents page for White Dwarf Weekly #46, which I think you'll agree provides an interesting read! http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JUk10aCvlj0/V ... 600/01.jpg So, next week we can expect to preorder = Bard the Bowman, Girion's Heir (2 miniatures) £27 Bold, Castellan of Mount Gundabad (2 miniatures) £27 Azog, Lieutenant of Sauron (1 miniatures) £15 There are two things here that interest me, Bard having two miniatures (possibly one mounted judging by the price), and yet I don't think he's ever on horseback in the film. Secondly, the single Azog mini which will hopefully surpass the meagre quality of the first foot/mounted version. Unfortunately this version will probably come with battle-armour and his new giant claw thingy, but I can live with that. Bolg will possibly be a must-buy for me too, providing the sculpt is good enough, as even without his bloodstained beard I still prefer him to Azog. Feel free to muse upon these findings, and post pictures when they appear! |

My bad, found the leaked images... sadly I hate every miniature. Oh how quickly my appetite has been ruined. I might still buy Bolg though, I'm sure a small amount of converting will sort out his dodgy proportioning and facial features (especially the warg-mounted version).  Azog and Bolg = http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YoHHR2X8B-4/V ... 600/06.jpg Bard = http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lZUqRUV9HBg/V ... 600/07.jpg |

Well Bolg actually looks good but I will admit that Azog looks like he is dancing (though I understand what pose they were going for), and Bard is just a horrible sculpt. His mounted model is truely terrible though. |

Yeah even though this topic is almost null and void based on the others I still appreciate the pics. A nicer look and also prices! That was good. I fear with every new set prices may change. I was happy to see Bolgs price and the news about the rules set. |

Hmm...I'm a bit annoyed Azog isn't wearing his Armour! & FYI there are a few scenes in the film where Bard is mounted

I thought we'd be getting Azog in armour and with his sword-arm. Honestly I'm glad they didn't do the sword-arm, but I'll miss the armour. I actually really like these minis. Azog DOES look like he's dancing, but it looks athletic rather than his slow and lumbering previous pose. Never liked that one. Bolg looks great, I must say. The pose is great, but his Warg doesn't look like it's moving. A tilt of the knees and some conversion and this would be great. Bard mounted looks like they've gone for regal-ruler-commanding pose, rather than fighting. But GW does like a command pose now and then, and i don't really mind. Honestly the foot pose more than makes up for it, it instantly put me in the moment of the militia charge in the trailer. |

I think all the releases are great, especially the new Bolg. It shows that GW are still willing to work with PJ's crazy revised schedule. |

The armour and sword arm were probably only added in the last few weeks. Nowhere near enough time to turn around a new sculpt and get it released. |

Given that the Perry brothers parted company with GW long before PJ gabe Azog armour we might never see an armoured Azog. |

Not sure about the Azog models specifically, but weren't quite some Hobbit hero sculpts done by other guys than de Perry twins? In that case, their departure may not be a major issue. |

Yes, just looking old White Dwarf magazines, not all were sculpted by the Perry’s:
* Thrain the Broken by Israel Laborda * Master of Laketown by Gaku Matsubayshi * Alfrid the Councillor by Gaku Matsubayshi * Bard the Bowman by Israel Laborda * Lake-town Captain by Gaku Matsubayshi * Gandalf the Grey by Gaku Matsubayshi * Beorn & Bear by Edgar Ramos & Michael Perry * Thranduil The Elvenking by Edgar Ramos There may be more but those are from the copies of White Dwarf I have, the last couple of issues no longer list the sculptor. So actually quite a few Hobbit models were not sculpted by the Perry’s. There are a mix of models I like and dislike by all of the sculptors. |
