Description
Bolg's Bodyguards have also received a new model for the next version and are now based on the Gundabad Berserkers from the last Hobbit film.
I think Bolg's Bodyguard mentioned in the books as using two handed scimitars. Why not go with the Tolkien's descriptions when he provided that info ?
scimitars, yes. Two-handed... dunno.
The goblins gathered again in the valley. There a host of Wargs came ravening and with them came the bodyguard of Bolg, goblins of huge size with scimitars of steel.

that might be because of the translation of book I have :D
I don't think a scimitar would be that fitting for this version of them. They don't seem much of a goblin weapon and don't feel fitting for the movie version of Gundabad or Bolg (the one Edain uses). This weapon might be less lore accurate, but personally, I find it better.
Also, the Hobbit book doesn't always fit with the rest of the world, because most of the lore was created much later. So I wonder if a scimitar would still be the weapon Bolgs bodyguard would use if the Hobbit had been written after the LotRs.
They look Phenomenal! They look Fabulous! They look..... Phenobulous!!!
