well painting undeads from dunharrow the way I envision them is rather hard and requires a special paint I use specifically for it , a little mix of heavily diluted fluo green (lighted with yellow), in order to give them this spectral feeling while still being “corporeal” (like in the movies)
This last newsletter brought us many great news…. Dunharrow foot soldier look very good but information that we can expect many releases in very short time makes me sad… I’m a little bit “short” with investment potential till Christmas
Sorry, but in my opinion that is quite unfair to say.
The horse is beautifully sculpted, and the rider fits perfectly in all the Rohan line.
There is a good man in our rows waiting (and many others surely also, including me) over 2 years! for this release,
and then it is rated “nothing special” OMG
Is that the result of the long waiting time?
how odd
the horse seems unique actually, it looks like the cape of Elfhelm carves into the hors bottom (assuming there are two pieces and not a single one, but the picture looks like there are two pieces)
also the rear right foot of the horse seems at an odd angle or is it me ? I am not a horse specialist
As Master Halbarad says, I’ve been awaiting this chap for a verrry long time, and I feel that the wait was worthwhile. I’m personally very pleased with him. Nice to see a new variety of Rohirrim shield too!

To the Halbarad the second:
Keep calm and stay cool and drink scrumpy…. that’s all what can I say on this post… 😎 Cheers !
I’m completely agree about the new Deadman of Dunharrow… awesome figure… I hope one day MIthril will release army of dead as a regular M range of figures…
I like both, and certainly echo the comments about the ‘dead-man’ being both a very nice figure and needing more of ’em! Re Harry’s comment about his footwear, I guess shuffling around for as many years as the Dead have been then it would have taken a harder toll on the ‘leather’ .
Re Elfhelm, not sure how far the artistic design can be taken to make these figures more ‘special’, but I guess that to maintain the CT style then some of the extra detail that the MZ process could realise has to be avoided.
I have said before that while in general, CT has replicated some amazingly intricate details on his figures, horses and other ‘creatures’ have generally lacked some of this ‘extra’ detail. The horses imho can look quite basic at times (and don’t get me started about that damn wedge of metal between reins and horses neck 😆 ).
Just created new [mith]MZ635[/mith] & [mith]MZ639[/mith] in database. About pillars, I wonder how many are usefull to make a proper Isengard diorama ? :rolleyes:
I’ve just been wondering that myself. I suppose there would have been at least one on each road that approached Isengard and at each junction, though it’s anyone guess how many that might have been! Personally I shall buy two.

I like what has been produced – I was imagining some form of large carved hand similar in design to the Isengard shield emblems with a pointing finger, but what has been produced has an elegance to it I like while retaining a look of slight menace (and in the style of Thror’s map illustration). As to how many….?
