hello all,


seems to be pirate fever in the air at the moment with all the new releases from lots of compaines, but out soon is these from mithril miniatures so i though you would like the heads up.

Quote:
Mithril is the longest-running Lord of the Rings miniature manufacturer in the world. We have produced over 600 figures from The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books in the last 20 years.

The latest general release will be the Corsairs of Umbar.

There are 10 figures:

Umbar Captain
Umbar Marine Officer
Seaman with Spear
Seaman with Bow
Seaman with Grappling Hook
Marine advancing with Sword
Marine running with Sword
Sailor with Scimitar
Slave oarsman with cudgel
Slave Oarsman with Axe

All figures are 32mm scale, and will be undercoated in Mithril's special primer.

The Corsairs are pirates that are in league with Mordor and hate Gondor. In the battle for Minas Tirith, Aragorn defeated these Corsairs using the Oathbreakers (an army of Undead) that he recruited from the Paths of the Dead.

Mithril is famous for the high detail and anatomical correctness of our miniatures. They look like they stepped out of a history book, and are considered the most accurate Lord of the Rings miniatures on the market.

I really like those figures! Any idea how much they'll cost us?

Mithril are a mixed meaage for me - some beautiful minis but some not so good. Alright, I am from Ireland and might seem curmudgeonly not to be wholeheartedly backing a manufacturer, but as a potential customer, unless I see something I want, I will not be buying.

The corsairs are very well sculpted, nicely proportioned. They would go on a 'Possibly' list, but not 'Definitely'.
