This month's White Dwarf is featuring The Hobbit strategy game, although I bought it hoping to see if there are figures I can scavenge for other games. Nice paint work in there btw.
It's really strange reading a GW publication which takes hobbits seriously. In Deathblow the Hobbit/Halfling character's special equipment is sticky buns or pies. Oh, the hilarity.
The tallish dwarves could double up for all sorts of other characters in fantasy, like stout hill folk, brigands. Radaghast looks great - whoever he is (in the book I mean). I'm not quite used to the bulbous goblins yet. I think I'd paint the trolls and goblins different shades - they're all a bit too flesh coloured for my liking. I feel the range so far, including the scenery, is ripe for pilfer, especially if your other figures are still close to the 25mm size.
I'm sure the goblin caves in the book weren't so "mine"-like, but then I've always felt odd about mines - makes me think of shire horses and canal boats ... I have a sort of prejudice for anything resembling local history....
