The one on the far right looks like a repositioned Khazad guard and the second from the right looks like a repositioned Dain.

Dain is but the Khazads aren't.

I have not kept up with Fine Cast :roll: I did not think the two on the left were ever released in metal.

Those models look like player-made sculpts based on official ones.

I rather agree with Gothmog- the far right is a Khazad Guard, plain and simple (though, granted, his pose is slightly changed). To his left is Balin, though slightly off- at least, proportionally speaking. The model on the left, I don't know about, but it looks to be the same with a slight change in the left foot.

I'd be interested in hearing more, if there is more to hear.

The two on the left look like heavily modified Gimlis, the one on the right is a Khazad Guard, and the one in the middle is Dain, although I agree with Gothmog in that these look like scratch sculpts, as Dain and the Khazad Guard are too thin, with the left "Gimli" being too broad compared to the original.

Having looked through the book, I have found I was wrong- Dain is a better fit for the second from the right, rather than Balin.

It is interesting and fine work by whomever did them.

As for the Goblin King...? Ah, wait, no, I have it. :dmf:

Clearly, this is the only logical explanation.

My enthousiasm for the Hobbit is fast fading with each new design decision...

What the hell was that Goblin?

I don't think those are actually new molds.

The two on the right look like conversions or GW's demo. The two on the left I think are not GW and are indie based miniatures.
