A bit off topic but did anyone else think it was pretty neat that they finally showed us some female dwarves, even though they didn't really get much screen time?

Huh... I guess I was the only one who was not really all that taken by the film. But I have to agree that Games Workshop sculptors and painters did not do the goblins justice. They were much better in the film.

I can't wait for my goblin town boxset to arrive, I've already planned out a few conversions but it still isn't here! Hopefully tomorrow! :O

I know that after I watched the film, whilst I was watching it even, I couldn't wait to rush home and play 'The Chase' scenario, along with buy the trolls and play out that scenario. As of yesterday I'm glad to say I've been able to do one of those things :)

Same, I really like the new goblins after seeing the film.


It's almost like the 'Eavy Metal team and the action figure company saw just production stills without the proper make-up or lighting. Where the official GW colour scheme and the toys are clean-looking and quite bright, the movie itself has the Goblins looking dark and filthy. Much better, imo.


A good read of December's White Dwarf reveals that the Citadel team saw the supporting cast in costume as the Goblins in the green room before their scene was being shot, there they took photographs and based the design on that. So yes you are correct, they've based it on the wrong lighting/setting!


If i remember correctly in one of the production videos PJ mentions how the colours on set were way more vivid than they would appear on screen. I think this was in relation to Mirkwood but I'd assume it's probably true for the rest. The documentary on digital grading from one of the LOTR box sets would seem to support this also.
