Same here - love the weight, love the texture, love the feel of metal. And to me it takes paint more nicely
Just personal preference for sure...

I don't need to convert much. There are so many cool miniatures for me to paint, that I don't need to change them too much.

I remember over 10 years ago when I was starting my warhammer-gaming I was adding some weights inder chaos warrior and chaos knights bases to make it al least a bit metal-heavy..

this new LOTR scenery looks veeeeery nice IMO

i still refuse to do anything with LOTR from GW, it's a horse they've flogged to death.

The ruins are really excellent. Probably very expensive but really nice.
And I like these Morgul Knights. I don't think I'd ever need so many of them, but they seem to be something I would be able to paint

seconded: about ruins and knights

BTW don't you think they achieved nice 'old metal' look on these Morgul Knights?

Don't generally dig Lotr stuff but the Morgul Knights look ace!

I think the Eldar Fire prism is a big improvement. You don't need mad painting skills anymore to make it look like a crystal and the design is also much better, less bulky.

I never know what's changed in Eldar vehicles. Now I noticed a different (translucent) crystal.
