It's Bladorthin for me too - not least because I shall be intrigued to see how Chris portrays him. Besides, we already have several Eowyns and more than enough generic Orcs.

Although I like the Eowyn idea, this time I would prefer a nice king!! I share the same thoughts about orcs than barliman ^^

Well, Mornedhel, you forgot to refer to the Eowyn in the MB2297 box-set and the MS554 (though that one is not in armour). So there're 5 figures, but one is included in a box without a base, two of them are 54mm figures, and the M316 is mounted. I'm just trying to be correct. Barliman, I just don't want to start counting what you call generic orcs, but you're right anyway.

I am indeed. I would imagine that even you wouldn't have enough fingers and toes to count all the Orcs, Master Tree!

Alas Master Barliman, I've got many branched roots,boughs,twigs,branches and suchlike things - sorry, but a bit more than your limited number of fingers and toes. - Anyway, we obviously agree on the vote this time.

Its funny to see two versions shown here of Eowyn in battle gear that are 54 mm size no comment about the size and to read "already available"…. Very clever! Try to put one of these figures in a diorama with other 32 mm scale figures….
Nevertheless let's see what comes out of that sparely described King

just to add a late comment : Eowyn in battle gear , threatening can also be found in the MB279 boxed set, facing the Witch King .... she is on foot, 32mm, with sword and shield, un-helmed... so yes the figurine already exists , you just have to take it away from this boxed set

Oh yes, just pay €36.95 or $41.37 to take one single figure out of the box and what are you suposed to do with the rest? The ring wraith would be great if it has another tail and feet.
But I like to say again: The winning King is a worthy fellowship miniature and for myself I'm happy with every named and unnamed miniature that will be released some time.

Was king Bladorthin a man, elf or dwarf? I search thru many sources and despite his elvish root name (I understand it was the original name of Gandalf In the early drafts of The Hobbit), I would suggest a man (a dwarf king will never hold an elvish name :-) )
What is your mind?

Post by Mornedhel on Mar 5, 2015 13:40:58 GMT
definitely a man. I think another "elvish" king would have mentioned in detail in the books my 2 cents
