shame to see that GW has put the prices up again meaning that many of us are put off buying the new models!
I'm going to go for some Rivendale Knights though as they look great and I understand you can customize them a lot- hopefully as much as the kataphrakts!

Shame the Elrond on foot model looks a bit like the new Haldir and his price is just too much. I'm going to turn the rivendale knight captain into him instead!

Radagast looks pretty amazing to paint but it may just be the quality of the GW paint job on him!

If anyone is interested in some alternate images of the knights someone is selling them on ebay here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hobbit-Rivend ... 337fbc4189

The new range is just too expensive.
When I got into Lotr a couple of years ago the price seemed about right. Now it is astronomical and just not worth it, I refuse to buy anything from the hobbit.
Shame as I love the figures and the game and probably would have bought all of it if it was 1/2 the price - greed from GWS just means that they loose out on my money.
