9th August (released 20th september)
* Elrond master of rivendell.....9/8/08
* Gandalf (rivendell)...............9/8/08
* the three hunters.................9/8/08
first two fairly obvious but i was thinking that the hunters could be aragorn legolas and gimli after the amon hen part of the fellowship. |

I think it's great that they release new models for the important characters. I think that Legolas TTT edition is the only really good model among the three hunters... _________________ Writing is good, thinking is better.

Except this will be the 12th/13th aragorn mini :p If they keep it up, you could make a decent sized Grey company army just using Aragorn minis and without repeating a mini  |

Three Hunters...What do you guys think about it possibly being a diorama (as previously mentioned on TLA).
After all, you never get 3 hero models in a blister, and putting 3 models in a box set is a bit iffy, to say the least.
Also, all other dioramas so far have been 3 models or so, IIRC. _________________ Elen sila lumenn' umentielvo |

Hmm, that'd be interesting - I'd like that.
Otherwise, I simply have to ask: what's the point? By and large, you have one version, you have them all. Ther are exceptions, but 13 Aragorns? Give me strength...about 4-5 would have sufficed...  _________________ Sons of Gondor is out! www.thepalantir.org |

I think it probably will be a diorama and also SDJacksons GW staff said it was going to be a diorama. Let's hope this is correct  _________________ Regards,

According to Catsrule27 on TLA it will NOT be a diorama. I will probably say it won't then as he seems to be a very reliable source for this information as he's who told us their would be new minis of these. _________________ Regards,

Oh well, never mind. I'm just hoping that they've done a better job than with the other recent models! _________________ Visit http://www.volcano.f-sw.com! |

Catsrule27 went to the Open Studio day and saw the minis firsthand, as did several other TLAers, who confrimed the new figures are just that...new figures...including Aragorn with a bow (seven years in the making ). Thats a nice welcome change from the other Aragorns we've seen  _________________ Avater by the fan-tabulous Leona Preston...check out her gallery:

Finally, an Aragorn with bow.
Also, GW staff, always wrong  _________________ My site:

Not sure about them to be honest. Lovely Gandalf and the Three Hunters are quite nice but the Elrond isn't up to my expectations  _________________ Regards,
