          The Oathmark and Frostgrave 28mm plastics are very good value..
          I do indeed. And definitely agree about the hyena look from the films. Not my favourite part. They really have turned out very well.

          It's funny people complaining about them not looking shaggy enough.....

          Let's disect that for a moment.....

          ..... They're complaining about a fictional situation....a wolf (weren't they actually called wargs?) that has been bred to be ridden by large fictional characters and so were bigger than 'normal' wolves....in a fantasy world that has magic and the like....that has and will never exist....

          Of course I'm willing to be wrong!

                    Thanks Mick. The mounts were my favourite bit, once they were done…..

                      To me, that guy on the rock is calling out the war cry of the dwarves….goes back to time immemorial and is fixed in their genes…

                      The banner simply says “Die Hi Ho!“

                          My hint regarding the translator probably didn’t help much….good for English to rune, but how do you type in rune to English LOL….

                            I did find one for that but couldn't find an exact match for the last symbol.
