Fixed. I saw the film yesterday. I was just correcting you, as I saw it more recently than you I think.

The kind of spoilers I meant was not the fact that the Dwavres had mohawks but that there was a flashback scene that I diddn't know existed in the film.

The orcs in Azogs army from Gundabad at the battle of Moria are not the same as the current GW Blackshields, since those are FOTR moria goblin designs, and are different then the hunter orcs which are outfitted as skirmishers


Probably safe to assume we'll get something similar to those for movie three, if they look the same, or different for that matter.

I know they are but GW made the models for Gundabad Orcs before they knew about the Hobbit, GW got ahead of themselves, the models are not the smae, but the GW models, and Azog's Orcs are meant to both represeme the Gundabads. To paraphrase Gandalf and Radagast:

"You cannot hope to outrun them, they are Gundabad Wargs" - Gandalf
"But these are hychyc rabbiuts. I'd like to see them try.."

The orcs in his army are big, bulky and armoured like Bolg the hunter orcs don't very well represent a single orc on screen.They look like Navi from Avatar. GW also created named dwarves like Dain, and army designs that are obsolete now due to the film,and the new sculpts..there's no reason to assume they wouldn't do it again for Gundabad. I'm not going to waste anymore time arguing because its really pointless it'll happen or it won't in due time. I'm hoping it does because the hunter orcs suck, design-wise they're a refreshing change, but I want more of Azogs and Bolgs giant brutes seen in the movie. They were so big! one had a dwarve by the throat and threw him

I'd say that the size difference of Bolg

or Azog
to Hunter Orcs is about the same as GOthmog to Morannon Prcs. In fact the guty ewho plays Gothmog is much taller than the guy who plays

Azog
.

However, I am tired of this, as nothing either of us says is actually importnant - the decisions have already been made - and as pointed out, barely relevant.

Bottom line, the more plastic sets we get the better. I'd happily purchase a box or two of armoured Hunter Orcs, no matter GW's designation.
