Ok then the whole lot of models have been revealed on GW and here goes the entire range of models. The link is HERE but ill post the pics up anyway for those lazy people . Dalamyr Fleetmaster of Umbar Corsair Captain and Bo'sun Mahud King Half Trolls Watchers of Karna Corsair Arbalesters Mahud Warriors with Blowpipes and shields Mahud Raiders Plastic Haradrim Raiders Corsairs of Umbar I also am Going to add the front cover here... And a nice more scenic picture... This suplement has definetely produced us the best models since the Ruin of Arnor and will attract alot of money from LOTR gamers all over. I like all the models in this new range after seeing the other poses and i hope that GW improve even more with the next supplement. Well done Games Workshop on what looks like a very successful supplement . Feel free to post feedback and comments on what you think of this new supplement Ty Jake

I can't wait. In the future I'm probably going to be getting a full based Corsair army.

Looks like an interesting release. As for the models:
Dalamyr - I think that he looks a bit sinister, making it a nice model, especially for use in scenic displays.
Corsair Captain and Bo'sun - I'm not sure which one's which, so I'll refer to them vissually. The PJ looks good and has a nice pose. The Axe-man on the other hand seems to be a bit off; perhaps if he was leaning on his left leg a bit more and/or was holding the axe by his side it would look better.
Mahud King - I don't like the armour and tusks on the camels and I really dislike the back banner thing on the King. Other than that, I think that it fits in really well with the Mahud Tribesmen.
Half Trolls - Horrible. Swapping the heads for something more human could help make these look better. I guess that it's all down to interpretation of the text. I've always assumed that 'like half trolls' meant that they were large, brutish humans rather than a man-troll hybrid.
Watchers of Karna - These look nice, but the remind me of the Medji from The Mummy and The Mummy Returns.
Corsair Arbalesters - These look good, and I can easily see them deployed on the decks of Corsair ships during a raid as support for the main force.
Mahud Warriors with Blowpipes and shields - I quite like these (except for the topknot/feather things on their heads). It's a shame that the half trolls weren't larger versions of these.
Mahud Raiders - I hope that it's easy to remove the totems and tusks, as these ruin the models for me. I dodn't like the wiker armour on the Cammels, but I can live with it.
Plastic Haradrim Raiders - I'm not sure on the trophy racks, but otherwise I like them. Hopefully the banner is an add on for a lance or an additional option, otherwise some people may end up with spare ones that they dont want.
Corsairs of Umbar - These all look good except for the one in the bottom right hand corner (and his duplicate up the top) who looks like his entire body has melted into a hunchback shape.

I agree with you on nearly all of those comments... Out of interest, what do you disagree with me on?

I only really disagree with your disliking of the camels and back banners on mahud king, but obviuosly its just a matter of opinion

In a real battle the tusks would help but looks. Uh oh! But I don't like the back the on the Mahud King either. And the on the left, in the Watchers of Karna, it looks like he's got a headache. But overall I think that the supplement is very good and it's got heaps of good models.

I reckon the back of the mahud king looks good. That watcher's hand looks a bit retarded though it is a good idea.
