I kind of like the LotR one, the scaling seems to look better and the weapon seems more appropriate.
However, it seems like you could easily magnetize both of them and use whichever fits best at the time.

Painted the bat, in the end I usedthe moria goblin. I'm not used to paint so small faces, so the goblin has a dull surprise expression. I think the bat is pretty cool. I have two more wolf heads around, so be prepared to see more flying foxes in the future. The rider is magnetized, I'm still trying to sculpt a warhemmer night goblin raider.

That goblin looks like a monkey in the special needs class room.

I love how the bat (in particular) in this turned out!

With the cloak on and rams head on shield can be used for extra damage if used for shield bash.

Reminds me of Radament, or a hallowed one from Diablo 2. Nice job and I echo the others.

Thanks all for the suggestions, in the end the cape is on. I have primed the figure and applied the first washes, still thinking about the colors, but I'll go with the usual tones for my skeletons, bright bones, brown, purple and blue.
I also have finished another giant bat, when the 3rd one is completed I'll post some photos. Still thinking about the bases, 40 mm or 50 mm?
I'm trying to sculpt a litlle, some bodies for all the different bits I have, a couple of new skaven, just to have 4-5 wererats for D&D.
Some gor and ungor on the way too, not sure if convert them in satyrs or not.
And a new idea for a warband of some sort, with giant rhinoceros beetles. Again, not sure if giant rhinoceros beetles go better with elf, gnomes, satyrs or fairies.

About the bats, those big wings are a pain, it's very difficult to make an unit with them. My working bench is getting busy, I have 3 goblins, 1 giant, 1 snake man, 2 orcs, 1 giant bat and his knight and 1 skaven to paint. And those are the ones I want to do in November. I still have my unfinished orc army, 10 dwarves and 10 beastmen. But now I'm in a sculpting mood. As you have seen in the plog I love to kitbash, I like to take toys and miniatures and make new characters for my d&d nights (and to steam off all the stress I get from my job...). Warhammer is a great game and has a lot of nice miniatures, but it lacks of nice fantasy races, and it's expensive, very expensive. Thanks to God ebay exists and you can buy all the bits you want. My local toy shop is a great place to find cheap plastic toy, and with the before mentioned bits you can put together some nice stuff. Recently I got some nice plastic beetles, so it's time to experimenting with them. Various toy companies, all of them made (unfortunately) by soft rubber, but they can easealy painted and sculpted over. They also smell a lot, probably I'll die soon for some form of intoxication. Here you can see what I got. You already know the fate of the bats, the big spider is coverend in fur, so I don't know if I'll never paint him, the 2 turtles covered in bones are really goofy. Here only the bugs with a miniature for scale. Btw, I adore that guy, I really like his color scheme and sculpt. I have already sculpted over one of the small guy and tried to put himon a base. It was painful, the rubber don't mix well with the glue, and the little bug is too big for a 25mm base and to small for a bigger base. I stucked him on a 25mm base in a way or another. Now the biggest problem is to give a theme to this band, I don't want to only have a bunch of insect laying around, I ant to give them some character. My idea is to put the small guys on a 25mm base and the bigger ones on 40mm. I want to give the big green one a saddle full of stuff, and some merchant looking guy riding it. Not sure if it's better to leave the other two big rhinoceros beetles alone or to give them knights too. I think I'll leave the stag beetle alone, with no strange things on it. Thr 2 red beetle are too weird looking, but the head is cool. No Idea about the people taming these guys. I'm sick of skeletons and goblins, maybe wood elfs or gomes?

Sprites? Fey creatures? All sorts of things. Of course, that means all sort of new kitbashing BTW, that rhino beetle looks like a Keebler elf giving me the finger, which is why I thought of sprites.
