Compared to the bilbo model on the base smaug looks HUGE! The face also looks a lot better now in proper lighting. Exciting times

Truly the first photo leaked for Smaug made him look weird and not that much impressive but now i must say i am stunned! Much better view of his size and detail, it is truly a trophy for every hardcore collector.

I must admit myself that this time, well done games workshop, well done :yay:

P.S i really want to see the laketown milita aswell! if anyone has any pictures please pm me

The militia look pretty rubbish IMO. I highly doubt I'll pick them up unless the rules are amazing.

Here they are, looks very impressive, I will certainly try and get it.

Last thing one of the Perry's sculpted at GW apparently, digital.

And according to the Perry Miniatures facebook page - Smaug is actual, proper resin, of the Forge World variety. Which means I have to find 300 quid.

Argh it kills me...he is so nice, certainly a mini that will enter in history...but I can't afford it... :'(

Awesome sculpting and the fact that it is Forgeworld material and not GW Finecast just makes it better. I honestly thought that it would be more expensive, especially because of the high quality material. The production cost on Smaug must have been huge!

It was Michael's last sculpt for GW and as MOTN says his first digital sculpt.

Just picked up the White Dwarf. The Laketown Militia look great, but are pretty generic guys as you'd expect. The Captain is a very nice sculpt. I'll likely pick them all up eventually.

All Laketown models are themed around fishing - one with a spear made from a harpoon, another with a fishing knife strapped to a pole, etc. You could easily proxy these guys with other models though, nothing to make them stand out as being from Middle-Earth IMO.

Nothing new to report on Smaug, all the leaked pics cover what's in WD. I'm not crazy about the large scales on his shoulders, but other than that the model looks great. There are tiny scales sculpted over the entire surface of his skin, you can't see that easily in the leaked photos. The gold coins on the base are individually sculpted.

A ragtag Laketown militia in Finecast? No thank you, they should've been in plastic. Better to get the city guards that are Finecast.

Yes, where are those Laketown Militia pics?

Also - does the new White Dwarf contain the rules for Smaug?

Farmer Maggot · **Posted:** Fri Dec 05, 2014 1:29 pm

Rules for Smaug should be in the supplement with issue 46 (available on the 13th December).

Smaug - where coud I put him that will be safe and dust free? Bit of a dilemma there folks.
All the other releases are not in a price bracket I am interested in for 28mm minis.
