Can anyone compare the new Gwaihir/eagles to the old Gwaihir? I'm just interested.

They are both, old & new really nice models.
Please note i have not added the feet to the new model

I really do like the increased size and more dramatic modeling of the new plastic eagles. Thanks so much for humoring us on pic requests.

The Eagles have an 8.25" wingspan; Gwaihir is about the same, though it seems less as his wings are at more of an angle.

Damn, damn damn! I need to get me some Eagles! Maybe instead of heading East after work in search of Hobbit action figures, I should've gone West looking for minis!

I just got me some of those this afternoon, not opened the box yet. :-D

You can see a size comparison between a new plastic Eagle and a WFB metal Wood Elves Eagle in the GW Bolton Facebook page.

Thanks about the HBO site as well, didn't know they sold in the UK, I love Stannis, plus a Frey T-shirt would be awesome.

Hello everyone,
I can't believe I only found this site today, lots of awesome stuff here.

Anyway for those interested in plastic eagles I have a review on my blog with pictures, including shots of them still on the sprues. Read it here: http://russhobby.blogspot.com/2013/01/review-plastic-eagles.html.

I wasn't sure about the eagles until I saw the painted pics in White Dwarf, with a good paint job they look fantastic. Hello btw.

Hey Tim! They look good with a good paint job, you say? I guess you'd better get on it then eh? :P
