Have been looking for the Elven Galadhrim Warrior with War Horn in metal for some time but nothing seen unless in FC etc. Could anyone confirm that this figure was indeed released in metal (I think as part of an Elf Command blister)? Many thanks. |

Almost positive there was no such model. Pictures you may have seen may have been from a conversion. If you are thinking of the Rivendell elf scheme. The galadhrim scheme, only horn-blower was in the FC/plastic command pack. |

Not certain, but I do indeed think it may only have been released in finecast. Several of the finecast command boxes contain a single new commander, released for the first time as part of that box. The Rohan set for example is the previous metal command box, with an additional King's Huntsman. The Dwarf one has the command blister (captain+banner), shieldbearer (blister) and the new Dwarf with warhorn. And in a similar fashion, the Galadhrim set has the pre-existing banner (originally Helm's Deep set), captain (from the double captain blister) and Stormcaller (seperate model in blister), with the new hornblower. All the previous were released in metal, but probably not that one. I don't believe there was a metal command box (like the Rohan one) before for the Galadhrim, as the other separate figures were already available in various blisters. |

I'm also pretty certain that he was only released in finecast, as Coenus mentioned. If you want to try a simple metal conversion, get the yelling galadhrim captain (long OOP) and give him a horn. |

You may have to trade a bit to get a metal one, as they are worth more. However, I recommend the plastic or finecast, as they are less likely to damage and crush your plastic models... They also weigh less. |

Finecast is the devil. I'd go far to get it in metal |

Have settled for one in FC, after various dealers told me not available in metal. |
