I'd place the order with your local store if I where you. I've been pretty lucky so far, but it to GW 2 months to send me on the of the metal blisters I ordered.

Really? I get all my blisters within 3 days.

Yes I was thinking of the Warg Attack Theoden. FYI just be cause it's on the site doesn't really mean they have them anymore. They are not producing metals so its very much what they have in hand.

They are but the quality is getting lower, lot more cracks in the models (only noticable to those with eagle eyes) and they are always covered in releasing agent. They are probably casting to order now rather than holding loads of stock.

Haha! Found an unarmoured Theoden on ebay for $10 with shipping included. It's missing the Sword Arm, but I was planning to replace that anyway. It's coming across the pond, so may be a few weeks before I can get started on it, but it gives me time to brush up my Green Stuffing skill, and plan this conversion out a bit more.

Gz! Nice deal!

I'm in the USA. I didn't know they are still casting metal.

@Earendur That's great!

They still have boxes of stuff if you can actually add it to your cart. Since you can (in America) I would presume that you can still order it.

Yes and I wil buy has much as I can. But some of them are not physically in America. I'm not joking when I waited 2 months.

I think a kings of men model could be converted easily into the cartoon witch king, its CF aswell making it easier to modify

Also Glorfindel with some midifications

D'oh! Wish I'd thought of those before buying these Theodens. But I think you're onto something with those. Mounted Glorfindel would work well(on foot is holding the sword too close for me to do much with it) as would the rightmost KoM. I may end up looking into that 'ere this is done

UPDATE: I'm going to go with Gildor Inglorion as the base for WK on foot, and mounted Glorfindel for the Mounted King. Not sure how to handle the Fell Beast yet.
