Is Balin just rocking back slightly on his heels, or does he have curly shoes?

They were the ones who received the photo: "Dwarf Lords in their own right, Balin and Dwalin are close relatives of Thorin. Beyond this, these brothers are two of his most loyal and trusted friends. An old warrior, Balin has lived through hard times and fought many battles, yet he harbors doubts about the wisdom of the Quest to retake the Lonely Mountain. Dwalin has no such forebodings – his belief in Thorin’s leadership is unshakeable. A powerful and bruising fighter, with a natural tendency to distrust anyone who is not a Dwarf, particularly anyone who might be an Elf, Dwalin is not someone to cross lightly."

Looks like Dwalin is going to be the group's tough guy, which i suggested in my earlier thread. What is he wielding...? A giant two-handed hammer?
Now now Bill, you swore this was a battle between warriors, not a bunch of miss nancies, so warriors is what I brought

With the exception of Kili the dwarves (except for Thorin, whom we haven't seen) have the Patty seal of approval. Wow broke early in the morning here. I guess there is something good to be said about insomnia. In thinking about the BBC audio of The Hobbit, there's no way those voices could have come from these guys.

I was pretty damn close with my Dwalin speculation in your thread DeadRabbits! Love both of them and the description is fantastic too!

I like the curled up tips on Balin's boots. Over all, the look fits well with the rest of the cast. And in this case, they seem true to the book. I would not want to tangle with Dwalin and the business end of that weapon.

the more awesome they get. Especially Balin--and since he is my favorite, I'm glad he looks so good. Fits my internal vision of a dwarf.

They are awesome! Only one photo left and I don't expect to be disappointed. Probably in the minority on that one though.

Very traditional looking dwarves. Is Balin particularly short or Dwalin exceptionally tall?
Not all those who wander are lost.

You were pretty much spot on! Couldn't agree more... love their looks and the description is amazing (Dwalin is exactly as I imagined him to be...).

I was expecting to love Balin more than Dwalin, but the latter pretty much rocks my socks! Funnily enough, my favourite thing about him is the fact he has short sleeves (he most certainly means business!) and those really cool knuckle-protecter thingies...can't wait for the high-res!

Just as I suspected, and just as I imagined them. Balin is the old, wise, battle-hardened one who tries to talk sense into Thorin and the gang, and Dwalin is the no-nonsense ultimate Rambo bad *bleepety bleep* of the group. I knew when they cast Graham McTavish in this role, that he was going to be the ultimate bruiser. Awesome, these guys are probably my favorite so far.

because a small handful of purists shout the loudest. I like these two. But Dwalin, like Kili, looks the most human. He seems tall and in proportion - and he doesn't wear his belt slung under his stomach, LOL! I think that this shows that you can somehow look like a dwarf without having a big belly and short legs.
