Games Workshop: Erebor and Dale plastic boxed sets

New from Games Workshop, More Elf, Erebor and Dale plastic boxed sets. Not keen on the sculpts and especially the prices!

The Garrison of Erebor consisted of a mighty throng of warriors - well trained and highly disciplined Dwarven fighters whose loyalty to their king was unflinching. Clad in fine Dwarf-wrought armour and wielding weapons that were the envy of Middle-earth, these sturdy soldiers were a match for almost any foe. 

The Warriors of Erebor come in an array of dynamic poses, ranging from raising a shield from an attack above, or thrusting forward a long spear or sword. They carry studded octagonal shields and wear either chainmail or tunics; some wear armour across their shoulders, or masked helmets. Each of the twelve Dwarves features unique expressions, styles of hair or beards, making them a characterful addition to your collection of miniatures. This plastic kit contains 30 components and twelve 25mm round bases with which to make twelve Warriors of Erebor. Price: a whopping  €30 for 12 plastic miniatures?
