Sorry, we're still non-metric in Bree. I can pour your drinks in butts, drams, firkins, gallons, gills, minims, noggins, quarts, seams and even pints, or if you like to buy in bulk I can supply your wants measured in barrels, hogsheads, kilderkins, lasts, pecks, puncheons, or scruples. But none of this metric nonsense, thank'ee very much. We're very traditional here in Bree.

Ill get you out a kilderkin - that's a mere 18 gallons, but should last fior about one round.

I have been in here drinking and doing research a lot this weekend. I used the database to find the next peices that I will hunt for. While searching for Dunlendings I was surprised to find that MS280 Wulf of Edoras was only listed as Rohan for race. Didn't Helm accuse him of being mostly Dunlending? Perhaps he should be listed as both?

You are right Shadyt, but alas the database does not allow to have several races for a single reference, or it has to be flagged as "multiple"... which is not very pertinent in the case of Wulf...

During the time of his reign he was "accepted" as a ruler of the rohirim... and so since this figurine mostly represents him as such, I made him rohirim...

Huooommmm ... I just received the two new releases ... humm ... that eagle definitely is much better than the old ones, the feathers I mean ... huom ... all in all it's a massive piece ... rhuoomm ... both are very nice releases ... huom

... I will buy G&G next week... but it will bi nice to see pictures... of those 2 companions...

Huooommm ... please give me some time for that ... huom ... two or three days ... as I'm a very busy tree at the moment .... rhuooommm

Thanks for the warning, I plan on starting the orc standard bearer as soon as he arrives.

Might have been me -

MERP invented a particular tribal name "Sagath" to define an Easterling tribal confederation dwelling close to Rhovanion.

Tolkien mentioned the Balchoth in his works, assumably as a Gondorian description of an Easterling federation (who would have had their own name, obviously).

And I'm too braindead to help.

Well, it's just my own opinion of course, and therefore it can be ignored by everyone, but I wasn't especially pleased when I returned from holiday to find that Michael had once again dictated what could be suggested in the first place, and if I'd been around when it came up I'd doubtless have made a comment to that effect - especially since I thought we'd already covered this issue (regarding our suggestions being restricted on a whim) some time ago. Am I the only one who finds such limitations aggravating?

Regardless of that, well done to whoever suggested the Dunlending. I'll be interested to see what sort of instrument The Man gives him. Since Chris renders them as Celtic types, will it be a carnyx?

Yes Sagath was the tribe that I remembered being mentioned. M241 is Brodda the Easterling what tribe is he supposed to be from? And M242 Hithlum Easterling is the other figure from that set.
