Huoommmm … I just received the new figures … huoommm … so by now there is an army of Witch Kings here … anyway, those figures really are nice and I do like this Black Númenorian as the pose is very dynamic …. rhuoommmm … though I still don’t like the new primer, but we know about that problem already … hommmm

The primer is still the same?? – I thought it was being changed?

Personally, I have always found the primer too thick to my taste. And anyway, it gets stripped when you remove the mould lines so I can’t really understand the point of priming before removing mould lines…

Well, I can (and have to) live with that primer, and yes, it was said once that it was being changed … rhuoommm … though I doubt; the surface still is too smooth which does not support painting very much … rhuoommm … but as I have not had time for painting figures for some years now it really doesn’t matter … huoommm … to me those primed miniatures look better than without any undercoating … hom

That’s true, and they’re better protected against humidity and such (but then, they would be protected well enough in the blisters).

Huooommmmmmrhuoommmm … as for another matter, I just again tried to keep my records concerning all those tiny miniatures updated … huoommm … I witnessed that until now there are no M520 to M529 figures being released … hom … 10 figures are missing … any idea about who they are? … rhuoommm … maybe the ‘Strawheads’ or even the long forgotten ‘Easterlings’?

I suspect they’re the long forgotten Easterlings. I gathered from The Man a while ago that he’s not happy to see them released until there’s a way of economically producing them as separate horse-and-rider castings – as you’ll recall, he was VERY unhappy about the Knights of Dol Amroth coming out as one-piece castings. I shall have to enquire after them again…

Huoommmm … yes, I do remember the disappointment about those “one-piece” riders of Dol Amroth well, Master Barliman … rhuoommm … and as there are so many riders among the Easterlings you might be right guessing that those numbers might refer to them … alas …. I just wish that problem could be settled soon …. rhuoommm …. I might also inquire again … rhuoommm … I just forgot – that’s why I called them “long forgotten”, you know … hoommm … anyway, thank you … oh, by now I assembled those two bad guys … rhuoommm … very nice poses and fine details …. that Black Númenorian offers wonderful possibilities to paint his garment with fine details and patterns … huoommm … I wish I could …

well the strawheads are not released but produced and I even think I have “witnessed” pics of them… well yes I actually have (but I can’t disclose any pics… )
Unless the easterlings are completly ready for production, I think it’s the strawheads…

about the primer… the black numenorean captain is a bit thick yes… lesser than before but still thick… as for the Witch king, it is… almost fine… let’s say… nothing compared to the huge amount of thickness of the past releases…

Yes, the Tree’s ‘missing’ number sequence might indeed be the ‘Death to the Strawheads’ figures. I too have seen pictures of the Strawheads (as I recall mentioning some months ago), and there are certainly ten of them; and the fact that the missing number sequence comes almost right after the Gamling & Co release certainly suggests it is the Dunlendings rather than the Easterlings that these numbers are intended for. Apologies for the confusion (or wishful thinking, perhaps…)

But the Easterlings are finished. Or at least, so The Man told me quite some while ago (it may even have been last year).

Celebratory news indeed – I think the Elf shows a great deal of quality in paying off everyone else’s tabs as well as his own. All due kudos to him.
