Hobbit Feb releases

Darnok on warseer pointed out this GW webpage (that probably shouldn't be viewable!):

Feb Hobbit releases are:

Radagast with Sebastien
Knights of Rivendell
Grim Hammers
Elrond
Goblin King throwing goblin
Yazneg (ft and mtd)

I think all of these are in the new rulebook. The Radagast is probably a finecast version not the plastic LE one.

Who (or what) is Yazneg?

I wonder if this release will coincide with the throne of skulls tournament. I kinda hope not cos I won't have money then. Will defo get the knights and the king throwing a goblin.

Exciting news indeed! Whilst I'm only interested in Radagast and Elrond myself, its great to see that there'll be another release in only a short time from now.

Bet heads will roll at HQ over another leak though.

I was told by my local manager that the goblin king throwing pose was a conversion. So now GW are lying aswell. GD, prepare yourself for more orders in feb.

Radagast and Elrond will be definite purchases for me. The Rivendell Knights are a temptation but I'll probably not get them despite their awesomeness.

I guess i will be going for the knights as well, but i guess ill have to save up a bit again. The starter set and bits took their toll on my budget :-)

I'm pretty sure GW just used some might to perform a Heroic Blunder

Funnily enough mine said near enough the same thing. Not 'said' per-se, I was flicking through my rulebook when I picked it up and laughed when spotting it. He looked over and looked surprised "huh, is that a conversion?"

Can someone tell me who Sebastien is???

Sebastien is the hedgehog that Radagast is holding in the limited edition Escape from Goblin Town boxed set.

Well at least I'll be able to get a Radagast figure without buying the limited box set

Really excited about getting the Grim Hammers. They look ace!

What are the Grim Hammers and Yazneg? I bet elf players are going to love the Rivendell Knights.

Grim Hammers are new Dwarves. I think they're the Khazad Guard variation for Erebor. dwarf armour, 2H pick-hammer. Rather nice. I think it was the new release thread which had a behind the scenes image of a Dwarven battalion from the movie. Armour looks like that. I'd post a picture from the Rulebook (there's several of them), but not sure I'd be allowed.
New Radagast is a standing model. He looks rather raggy doesn't he?

No idea who Yazneg is, there's no profile

It's down now... :-(

Bartelomeus · **Posted:** Wed Dec 05, 2012 1:39 pm

Yazneg... what the heck is this.
Tribal neck thing, blood and gore and yet he's wearing rather posh trousers and shoes...

wowbagger · **Posted:** Wed Dec 05, 2012 1:43 pm

Ahh that just look....

nice shoes by the way....

Beowulf03809 · **Posted:** Wed Dec 05, 2012 1:46 pm

Yeah...don't blame GW for this. That guy's from the film. But I think this is another case of the production image not doing justice to how it will appear on screen. I found another that indicates he's probably a Warg Rider captain and will be much darker in the film:

SouthernDunedain · **Posted:** Wed Dec 05, 2012 1:46 pm

I have seen a model of that guy in the rulebook. Thought it may have been azog but that clears it up. Wonder what they will do about his rules as he isn't in the big book.
