Well, there are a ton of different manufactures out there if you don't mind going outside of GW for something.
This one is from Reaper and is just awesome!

Can anybody advise me on an alternative for a shade model? I hope to strengthen my Moria army, but just can't force myself to like the GW shade miniature, while I just adore its special rule. Thanks. |

ANY other model painted in suitable colours will do fine. Dark-ghost colours, with purples and blacks, as opposed to eerie-ghost models (like the blues and greens) will help to show that it's a shade. More than one model on the base will also help. Whisps around it should seal the deal (can be made with cotton wool or greenstuff). |

Ooh, I like that one. I'll add it to the spiders and bat swarms and such I plan to get from Reaper in the near future. Which book has the Shade rules in it? |

If you're feeling really adventurous, you can do a conversion from some other model you like for the job. That's what I did, & you can see it in my gallery, here. |

I assume The Ruin of Arnor has a bunch of scenarios in it, and I'll have to pick up the book at some stage. What's the max number of shades in the preset forces in those scenarios? I might start getting them sorted in advance of buying the book. |

Just one in the scenarios, however you can include as many as you would like in an army. |

Word of advice, though: don't include more than 2 for every 500 points in your army. They take up a goodly number of points that, after 1 or 2, can be directed against your enemy more effectively by fielding cheap orcs or something more able to fight. |

Cool. I'll just look for 1 or 2 nice looking spectral miniatures and I'll be set then. I'll definately get that reaper one.. |
