Crebain From Dunland! Forge World Unleash Their New Flock
March 20, 2020 by brennon
Forge World are in league with Saruman The White as they unleash a new set of Crebain onto the tabletop for use in the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game. See what you make of this new kit...
Get Your Own Middle-earth Force @ Store.OnTableTop
Inside the set you get two different flocks of Crebain for you to use in your games, flocking to the call of Saruman and the forces of darkness. You can use them to sow discord amongst your enemies and full rules for them are included as part of Rohan At War.
As it stands the kit is rather simple, but it does give you a nice peek into the world of Middle-earth and these swarming birds rushing towards you. I also like that you could use it as a terrain piece if you wanted instead.
The Crebain themselves don't look overly detailed but I suppose if you're making birds at this scale they are going to be a bit different looking. Either way, it's a nice new option for those playing as the forces of Evil in Middle-earth!
What do you make of the Crebain?

I think they cheaped out on the design this time… tree as bases? :S
Nice Air reconnaissance Tolkien style?
I think I would have preferred a flock of these with the models “just” touching each other so that it could be on a normal clear flying base (the idea they are dragging around a tree with them just doesn’t sit well with me).
But it’s always been a tough nut for sculptor to crack, flocks of small flying things like crows and bats are a nightmare to produce and make them look good 🙁
Not impressed. Price point is a bit off too.
