I have the Dol Guldur set and it is great! Are you collecting the hobbit holes? Would like to see a gw figure next to one of them.
Yeah I saw that it does look great! It's one I still want to get myself. I do have the Hobbit holes. Most of them mainly show the front as the back is a solid black wall...with the exception of Bag End. They do look wonderful though and I will be using them to create a Scouring of the Shire scenario. I'm happy to take some photos for you so you can see?
The scaling isn't too bad but since Bag End and the Green Dragon are so large they have been scaled down a bit. They work better as background pieces. The one that scales the best with our strategy battle game is probably the Grond model. Customise a few trolls to push it and use the Great Beasts to pull it, using the orc models to sit on the walkways either side.
The Weta stuff is amazing if you have the money to get it. New Minas Morgul is nice too as it lights up with the deathly green glow. My personal favourites are Orthanc, Argonath, Minas Tirith and Barad Dur...i'm yet to get hold of the stunning Rivendell model. There should be two new environments coming next year as well for the FOTR anniversary.
