Forge World is back with a pre-order today showcasing two iconic characters from Middle-Earth. Check out what’ll be hitting the online stores very soon.
Forge World announced that Thorin Oakenshield and Azog the Defiler would be going up for pre-order. These guys actually first got previewed at the Warhammer New Year’s Open day as they were spotted in a display case with different weapon options.
Thorin vs Azog will ship on January 18, 2019.
Posed in their fateful showdown on the cracking ice, only one of these foes would be returning to their group alive.
Thorin Oakenshield & Azog $55
At the height of the Battle of Five Armies, Thorin Oakenshield, the newly crowned King Under the Mountain, faced Azog, leader of the Orcish horde that threatened his home, in single combat. On a shifting ice floe, they battled for the fate of Erebor and Lake-town – and for vengeance. The outcome of this duel would decide the future of the Lonely Mountain…
The latest release from the Middle-earth Character Series recreates this epic conflict between two mighty heroes. In this resin set you will find miniatures of Thorin Oakenshield and Azog as they appeared during the Battle of Five Armies. Thorin stands at guard, preparing for his opponent’s deadly assault. Azog is swinging his great stone flail around, ready to smash it down on the Dwarf. They stand atop a sheet of smashed ice, perfectly representing the scene from the movie The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies™.
Both of these characters can be completely removed from the scenic base to be played separately on the tabletop. The rules for these two come inside Armies of The Hobbit™ sourcebook.
Forge World did another great job at recreating some of the most iconic characters and putting them on the table. What do you think about these LoTR sculpts? Will you be grabbing these guys for your army? Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
