The dwarves and the orcs turned up in respective armies but that may just have been people using old figures. <br /><br />Ernyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106035249657749275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2385336331396124855.post-38349739342074190782013-03-15T13:33:13.871-07:002013-03-15T13:33:13.871-07:00Coops right, several of the their Melnibonéan mode...Coops right, several of the their Melnibonéan models were just re-released under High Elves (props to Kelvin for getting the accent!) the High Elf Dragon Master is so blatantly Elric it's like some kind of IP shitstormbringer (see what I did there?) about to happen. The Barrow-wights for the original LoTR range ended up in the Gothic Horror range, and I think some of the elves got repackaged.zhu bajieehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004498036257289234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2385336331396124855.post-8231556575515297372013-03-15T13:12:41.865-07:002013-03-15T13:12:41.865-07:00Oooh, interesting.

I'm told by a normally impeccable source that this is why the GW Lord of the Rings figures are in a different size and style to the WH/40K stuff so that they can't, post-license, turn up again in the main line of Warhammer figures.Coopdevilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16219253658967958289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2385336331396124855.post-23943378789993195952013-03-15T10:41:14.560-07:002013-03-15T10:41:14.560-07:00I've heard that when Games Workshop lost the E...I've heard that when Games Workshop lost the Eternal Champion licence they redeveloped <a href="http://www.solegends.com/citec/index.htm" rel="nofollow">their Melnibonéan range</a> and turned them into dark elves. That's what they did with the <i>RuneQuest</i> broo when they lost that licence, turning them into <i>Warhammer</i> beastmen instead, but I'm not as convinced by the dark thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2385336331396124855.post-8647903171433388522013-03-15T09:40:48.317-07:002013-03-15T09:40:48.317-07:00I read somewhere, god knows where, that the GW DE ...I read somewhere, god knows where, that the GW DE were just following on from the Tom Meier Drow for Ral Partha which presumably had their origins in what, the fiend folio? <br /><br />So perhaps the link is there just at TSR not GW/Citadel.Ernyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106035249657749275noreply@blogger.com
