Great conversion which improves upon the GW miniature and gives the option for and earlier Azog to be played.

Personally, I'm not at all a fan of the "hook" arm, and don't like the change in narrative in this case- it seems to serve Jackson's desire to have a big bad baddie, rather than being the sort of intelligent and narratively enriching change we saw lots of in the LotR films. I get the impression that he's unnecessarily tinkering this time around.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I wholeheartedly approve of the arm sculpting! I was planning on swapping it out for something suitable, although at this stage I'm not sure what. If I can't find anything I'll follow your lead (after a deep brave breath!) and have a go at sculpting it.
It's mostly the hand that I find intimidating!

Great job, but did we expect anything else?!

I'll probably be making knife arms available if there is enough interest.

I will buy one for sure, love the Azog conversion. Just finishing a Linden Tree, great sculpt :yay:

Ah splendid. He is often overlooked as the middle 'child' but given a decent paint job he looks pretty good I think.

That Azog is looking awesum, great job on Thrors head and the entire sculpt.
if the knive arm becomes available, sign me up.

So it appears Shadow & Flame's first mini release will be a Travelling Dwarf . . . .

and he comes apart at the waist, should any of you convertors wish to transplant the top half from a dwarf of your choice instead.

I saw this on the FB group. Cannot wait to purchase some

Do you have a estimate of what they will cost?

Fëanor, the mighty elf · **Posted:** Sat May 03, 2014 12:03 am

Fantastic work! :yay:

I will definitely be getting 2 (one for conversion indeed). Looking forward to the release!

I won't know for sure until I get an estimate from the casting company. On past experience I'd guess more than 5 GBP but less than 10.

JamesR · **Posted:** Sat May 03, 2014 1:41 am

That's very reasonable. Pencil me in for sure

I'm interested in this figure, so I will await your pricing. Will it be a metal figure ?

Ukfreddybear · **Posted:** Sat May 03, 2014 8:41 am

Yes it will be metal.

Bandobras Took · **Posted:** Sat May 03, 2014 9:13 am

Ooh pretty model! I'll definitely pick one of those up once they're available. I love the way it has been sculpted in the likeness of how the Dwarves from the book would have looked - very clever! :yay:

Yet more wonderful work from yourself! I look forward to seeing what more miniatures you come up with.

That dwarf is awesome... really nice job... can't wait to have one

Crucium Giger · **Posted:** Sat May 03, 2014 11:15 pm

It is a lovely sculpt with lots of character and that waist split is sure going to be handy for some people.

Rognarr · **Posted:** Sat May 03, 2014 11:28 pm

Looks a lot like I imagined Thorin when reading the Hobbit back in the days..

Great job!

Harfoot · **Posted:** Sun May 04, 2014 7:43 am

Very nice, like the idea of swappable bodies, will definitely purchase several please when ready

What did you do with the rest of Thror's body?
