First White Dwarf Pictures for The Hobbit Strategy Battle Game Miniatures

November 22, 2012 5 Comments

It is time! Yesterday I posted some pictures of Radagast. Since then, I’ve been told that those have been around for some time. But now the first pictures and scans of the new White Dwarf have finally appeared (a mere 2 days before the official release). Have a look at all this Hobbit Miniature goodness. Then decide if they’re worth the price Games Workshop is asking.

They look alright (well they look like the movie stills I have seen) and you get a lot in the main box including terrain (about time it was added back) it is $205AUD as well. very high for a starter, will be interested in how well it sells here.

  Are you sure there is terrain in the starter? The leaked list only mentions 56 miniatures, as well as listing a separate Goblin Town Terrain Set: http://blog.pinsofwar.net/hobbit-release-list/
  
  The miniatures… yah. They are the copy of the movie and, for the “good guy” we’ve known how they’ll look.
  
  Haven’t seen real “visuals” for the evil guys (e.g. things like the Goblin King are presumably why New Line is keeping it close to their chest), though Lego has lots of stuff out that gives a rough impression, including Mirkwood which is probably farther off from GW: http://bit.ly/T6Uje3
  
  That said, I don’t think I quite like the “naked” Goblins (not GW’s fault though). I’d have preferred something with a bit more armour, metal-weapons, bows, etc.. .

    yep there is terrain, some walkways and stuff for Goblin town looks to be an alright amount as well.
    Yeah the baddie designs aren’t the greatest which is a bit disappointing but unfortunately not GW’s fault. I am just happy it wasn’t another Chaos release as my funds are very low and I still don’t have a Maulerfiend

      Hehe. That’s one way to look at it
      
      But yeah. Seeing terrain in the box is a good thing. A pity they didn’t add some chaosy stuff to Dark Vengeance

I have to say, having flicked through the WD last night….yeah. The price of the set is ridiculously dear. The pricing in general for the LOTR/Hobbit stuff is ridiculous anyhow – the White Council is over £30 and the plastic Fellowship from the Mines of Moria box? They’re going to be selling that at £30+ too. That’s right, 7 single part, single pose plastic models and 2 2-part, single pose plastic models for £30. It’s ridiculous.
