Hey all,
While I was poking through my new copy of the Mordor sourcebook today, I noticed something very odd on the first "battle-spread", aside from the obvious photoshopping errors (but those are beside the point now)...there were pictured five Rohirrim, two normal Riders, one Rider with a banner, and two Royal Guards.
And while I was looking aimlessly, I noticed something weird:
The Riders of Rohan have different horses than what comes in the set. Upon further inspection, they are different entirely from the ones ridden by the banner carrier and Royal Guards feautrued
on the same page!
Don't believe me? Take a look:
The ones in question are circled in red. Now, at first thought, I assumed they used the old metal Harad Raider horse, as it's bulkier than the "standard" plastic horses, but the Harad Raider horses never had thier back leg stick out like these ones do.
I was planning on getting a plastic box of KoMT to have some variety in my Rohirrim horses, but did GW make figures they have no intention (not due to a casting error *couch4thMordorUruk-haicough*), or are they from another manufacturer, or did they steal horses from Warhammer and slightly cinverted them, further making this game "Warhammery"?
Thanks for looking,
Wolfy
