I'm dubious, but I have no reason to call the guy a liar, so can't really say anything. I find it odd that a GW store would be assembling the minis for display long before sneak peaks were posted on the website, but maybe that just means GW have decided to keep things under wraps more.

Agreed. It seems strange to me that GW would release some rather elite and expensive (points wise) troops in plastic...people won't buy that many because they can't field all that many in an army...why not release some troop types like Dunlendings, Khandish Warriors, etc who cost a fraction of the points of the Swan Knights? That way people will buy more of them to fill their armies.

But though there's not much proof besides "I saw them firsthand" from one lad, it would be pretty ballsy of him to say "Oh yeah, I definitely saw these, they're being released" and then to have them not. Here's hoping they look nice

True, but he may have just seen them painting WH High Elves and mistook them for SKoDA. On the other hand, he could just be making something up just for the attention. Without knowing him better, we can't say, and it's not fair to pass judgement on him, but like any rumour, we should retain a degree of skepticsm until it's officially announced/we see first hand.

Then again, maybe that's what that mysterious sneak peak several months back was


As for releasing them in plastic being odd due to their points cost - we do have plastic mounted Galadhrim. It probably depends on what sells best - SKoDA are probably better sellers than Dunlendings or Khand (althrough probably ironically because those are in metal), so as far as GW are concerned, it's better to put those into plastic.

it makes sence to me...sort of. I think a 5 pack metal kit would have been better but hay GW seems to want to make everything plastic (I can't think of many non HQ Space Marine units that are metal)

As weither this is legit it's hard to say. I'm not on LA so i don't know the guy so he could work for GW whihc might explain it. Also it may have been at Warhammer World or there "Main" shop in ....... where ever it is.
However i'm looking forward to seeing them

I do know Lost Pict has posted things before which ended up coming true so I'd believe the guy personally. Dunno how he saw them mind you, probably Warhammer World or behind the scenes somehow.

Just saw on Warseer that some chap said we'll be getting plastic Morgul Knights as well as the Knights of Dol Amroth.

The Swan Knights I can tolerate, but I cannot stand even the thought of plastic Morgul Knights, for many reasons:
1.) They are super elite cavalry.
2.) They were released only two years ago, and I can't believe they've sold enough to justify making them into plastic.
3.) They are completely made up by GW!! This is the big one for me. Tolkien never makes mention of "Morgul Knights", but does so for Dunlendings, the axe-men from Khand, Mordor Uruk-hai, etc. Why the cuss are we not getting sets for these?

Angered Fenrir out.

i agree that plastic mogul knights are a bad idea. firstly for the resons you said Fen but also that fact that i have 5 all ready!
Tho i got them for free thanks to a mistkae at the GW posting office ( Score!)

but that could be almost anything as Frodo has also seen the Haradrim and Easterling by this point...and small???? When i last cheaked Numneour(Which is what they are) where about 6 foot tall!
