Just checking to see what Dakka thinks of Lord of the Rings (the miniature game). This counts for both War of the Ring and the original GW SBG.

Personally, I was never really interested in it when the films were out due to LOTR fatigue, but recently it has been quite tempting and I finally picked up the moria starter box a little while ago to put it in my long term painting queue.

Wow, 50% not interested? Just like me... I think the models look great (at least orcs), but I don't like the rules and don't really want to start another game just to repeat what I already have.

Too close combat oriented for me

I really dont like it because it's too mainstream, and I never really liked LOTR anyway, the minis are ok though.

Say the guy with the black templars avatar.

I will never play this game because of the ghastly ent figures. Those are the worst models in the history of table top wargaming.

With that being stated, I read the books once a year for the past 20 years, and I love the movies.

I was never interested in LOTR in book or movie form. If I wanted fantasy I would play WH Fantasy or D&D not Bored Of The Rings.

Played it. Liked it. But, don't want to collect it. Too many games already.

I love the Trilogy, but was never interested in actually playing the game. Of course I have thought about get The Battle of Five Armies set, and who knows from there.

I absolutely love the LOTR SBG. Its what got me into wargaming in the first place.

It started as a skirmish game, but over the years developed into larger scale battles (800+pts) that I found a lot more interesting and challenging.

The new game, War of the Ring, takes this much further so I have been trying it out. So far, its been fun but its too early to say if it will be as addictive.

Not interested - one game system at a time please!

i bought and painted up a load of models when it first came out(and had a game or two).
but soon after i sold everything including my troll and balrog that i painted well.
just didnt grab me.

IF I were to get LotR then I would go Easterlings. The only baddies that are both human as good at killy as the goodies!

It was the first gaming system that I tried, I enjoy the miniatures, but I just prefer models that are more customisable.

I like it, but because not many people play i get very few chances to actually play it

Not interested.

Too mainstream, played mostly by 12 year olds, and the rules (if played correctly) make it take /forever/ to kill almost anything. Especially the heroes.

It's not an army game. It's a squad scenario game.

I'm just not intrested, the book was good and movies were good, and I could see the game being good, but I really don't want to get into it unless my friends get into it (they aren't really big wargamers but they play friendly games)

My one friend swears by the card game though so maybe it's actually a cool game.

Other: I'm a big LotR fan and have a bunch of the minis, but I have not seriously entertained the though of playing the game as there is minimal local interest as far as I can tell.

Don't want to get into another game but I generally like the figs. Especially the stuff not included in the films. Maybe someday...

I posted dont play other. Some of the models are nice and I dont want to start another system, however the biggest reason I dont play it would be that the game is trapped in a story line already written so it does not interest me.

I prefer the LotR rule system to 40k's. I have the other two series that use the same rules. I have a few armies for LotR.

I like the game to a point, but it really starts to break down into 'who can roll more 6s' which starts to grind on me.

As for the models I've never liked them, there is no life to them at all.

War of the ring however I liked the system better then fantasy as they essentially take away all the stupid movement rules and you are fighting with the entire unit rather then just the 5 tards in the front (my biggest gripe with fantasy) but then that game comes down to buying a silly amount of models so it can stay where it is.

but......but..........theres no choas

WHFB, 40k, WM/hordes thats one too many rules sets as is

Not interested, don't want to start another game.

No-one I Know plays it. Want the Balrog, However.

This was a hard one for me to put in cause my response is "not interested because I don't want to start another game" but I still do really enjoy it.

40k is LoTR in space, so I dont feel the need to bother with it. Frankly, the whole LoTR game franchise feels like just a giant movie tie-in that leaves little to the imagination.

Got me started wargaming, then moved on to 40k and have stayed with 40k since.

LOTR made for a great series of books and a few great movies, but the first edition of the game really came down to which unkillable heroes you had.

Even if the game is better now, it still just feels WRONG to try and kill Aragorn.

Never really liked the looks of the models, and for me that's a MAJOR factor in deciding on armies/game systems.

Also i dont LoTR that much either

I like what I've read from the WotR rules and the more balanced look of the minis, but won't pay GW's exorbitant prices to start a new game right now.

Boring and overall pretty lame for a tabletop game IMO..

I find the army selection rules (or lack thereof), and the hand-to-hand combat rules to be sub-par, but I enjoy WotR immensely.

Lotr is the reason I binned my WD sub, the game is simply pants and WD is now 60% lotr crap and 20 % ads leaving 10% of NEW MODEL ODER NOWW and 10% ooh shiny pictures..

booo.

I just hate the flipping game. Although I haven't played the latest version, all the previous ones SUCKED arse as far as I am concerned.

I don't like it for just about every reason listed.

The original game system had too much focus on the heroes and small battles. Not LoTR in my mind. Big events with individuals able to shape the outcome? Sure. Not hero duels with redshirts around him. (how it is) War of the ring helps with that, but not that much.

As for the models, most of them look pretty good. Just the awful ones happen to be models that should be showcases. I think the balrog looks pretty damn lame without a good amount of conversion work. There is no helping the ents, might as well field a stick I found in the woods.

There isn't many players in my area who actually play the game. Mostly ust a couple of kids who collect the minis. (as in 12 year olds).

I resent the fact that the FLGS has to stock a minimum of the line to sell gw product, as it doesn't move at all. The local store has probably sold more blood bowl sets than LotR.

The criteria I have for a game is this: I have to like the models (fail/success) I have to like the rules (fail for both version) I have to be able to find a game (crickets) And it has to support the FLGS I play at (forced stocking of a crappy game that doesn't sell is bad for the business)

I'm sure that other places and players like the game. Just not for me.

im really just not interested

I think War of the Rings is the best game system GW has come up with. The movement and combat is far more fluid than Fantasy. A really solid rule set. I still like Fantasy and 40K, but recently War has been my favorite to play.

I enjoy the game alot and the minis are nice as well. Some could have been molded better but the game is fairly inexpensive to get into. I own 5 armies Arnor, Gondor, Dwarfs, Goblins, and finally orcs.

I tried it once for about a week, and never really developed much interest in it. It seems like a waste of GW's money to me, considering they already have Warhammer Fantasy which is far more solid and established as a tabletop game. It just seems like they tried to slap a new coat of paint on an old house so to speak. I think LotR as a tabletop game should go to a different manufacturer for just that reason. Plus it would let GW focus more on their two best-sellers, which would probably do more for pricing and miniature ranges.

I love the game but not as many players in my local store, so can be difficult to find players. But great game.

I accidentally voted other (poasting here).

What I really meant was, I don't have any, but would like to someday.

I think the miniatures line has some of the best stuff GW has to offer. I don't have much interest in playing the actual game, but I do have interest in getting a few of the minis to paint up (I'm looking at you, Riders of Rohan!).

They might find use in some sort of skirmish game, like Mordheim.

Like many I played when it first came out, when it was primarily a small-scale skirmish game but quit once the initial push died out. I found it an enjoyable diversion from the more "serious" tabletop games and never thought of it as anything that would become a system to compete with Fantasy and 40k.

I play Fantasy and 40k in large part due to the fluff and extensive backstory. LOTR is a little too constrained for my tastes, which might sound odd given the rich history of Tolkien but GW is certainly far more constrained in their expansion of this universe compared to their own creations.

I started out with Haradrim from LOTR and got the point where i was buying things like an oliphaunt (mumuk) and had about 2000points but then switched to 40K because i was the only person i knew who played LOTR and therefore wasn't getting any battles.

QFT

Lord of the Rings was my first game, I play as Easterlings. Now I prefer 40k though, it's much, much better. The combat system in LotR is too simplistic, roll off and see who gets highest, what is this? Monopoly?

We use the LoTR miniatures for D+D.

The LOTR game is what got me into miniature wargaming. I was a huge LOTR fan at the time, and the Mordor Orcs grabbed me.
My younger brother and myself played a ton of games, and albeit, the rules are a bit simplistic, it's a great way to get into the rest
of the Games Workshop stuff. I'm now an avid Imperial Guard player, but I still pick up LOTR models, mainly because they're so much
fun to paint!

I might play someday, but 40k and Fantasy have me by the throat...

Still, I like the mini's...

LotR and WotR both look great, but I simply don't wish to add to my already copious 20 year backlog of hobby projects from Warhammer.

None of my group play,
I have about 10 models (as I liked them) but that's about it so far.

The system looks good,
But there are only so many gaimg systems that you can play consistently.

I'm interested in the game, but I lack the funds to pick up a respectable force of Moria goblins.

I wana make a Daemon Prince out of the Balrog!

I think its a bit gimmicy and a bit of a copy, also charactarists like 'defence' and phases like the 'fight phase' and the 'shoot face' make it sound awful and cheesy.

It sounds cool and all, but I don't think I'm ready to leave 40k just yet.

it started me gaming, but i haven't played it in ages, forgotten half the rules and i don't know enough people to play against

Used to have a big harad army, got bored and sold it.

I like the figures and use some of them in my WFB armies, especially the halflings as the WFB halflings were (they're OOP now) total cartoon characters. But, meh. The books and the films are great, but the game...I prefer WFB and 40K. In addition, the whole ministry of GW truth telling us that it is a "Core Game", when some of their specailist games are way better (BB, Mordheim, Gorka Morka(RIP)) is distressing. In Japan, most of the independent retailers don't even carry it, and those that did sold heaps of it for 80% off.

When the license runs out, I'm sure the game will disappear.

I don't even have enough money to buy WH40k pieces, I have no friends who (would) play it, I already have the MTG and WH40k rulesets in my head and many, MANY videogames that I play. Another physical game which requires time and money is not on my to-do list.

Double post, sorry.

Never tried the game before. I have the mumakil model (which I love), and the Balrog, and a few others I liked, but have no interest in playing it. I kind of wish GW would quit giving it any focus, but with the new movie due out in a year or two, they'll probably hold on it at least until then, which I can't blame them for. Also, for all the people who love to play it (none of which I've actually met), I wouldn't want their game to get discontinued. The releases now seem to piggy back on 40k or fantasy ones I've noticed. If they can not impede the main two games, I'm all for them continuing with this line.

It looks fun and interesting, and I love LoTR... but no time for another game system, especially one that's not all that popular.

I chose "other" because it's "Not interested, it looks like it sucks"

i got a load of goblins a cave troll and a couple ringwraiths when they 1st launched the lord of the rings minis.
never learnt to play it though, just got it to paint, but i was an awefull painter at the time, making the whole thing pointless really

I don't know.

On one hand, I loved Lord of the Rings and I like the models, but the selling point for me is just how fast one player can get into the game. I'd need like 1-2 boxes of troops, some blisters, etc.

However, no one really well truly plays this game at my FLGS, and perhaps I might get some people into the game, but until then, I really want to work on my other armies, knowing at least that I can get a game in.

Not interested and not keen on minatures

LOTR got me started in wargaming and I still enjoy the odd game or two. On a small skirmish scale it is great but larger games tend to get a bit fiddly with moving all troops around separately due to a lack of units.

That is why there is now war of the ring. on a average game of 1000 points Ill have about 96 goblins on the table and some trolls. The game plays really well and is much more balanced say compared to WFB.

Got me into GW stuff. I never played the game, but I still buy lots of the minis to paint & sell. I prefer 40k by far, though.

Mouse wrote:I will never play this game because of the ghastly ent figures. Those are the worst models in the history of table top wargaming.

OH GOD! Your right! Bad bad GW.

Loved the books and movies, but my current armies deserve my full attention.

Other - I owned the game when it first came out, collected it, well bits and pieces for a few years, had the monthly magazine that came with the odd rare fig, rarely played it due to my wife not liking the setting.

Then when I moved up here in 2004, (packing it up and then unpacking it) I noted I had a fair bit collecting dust, by mid 05 I realised that I hadn't played it in two years, so made the call and sold everything.

Its a nice game, really nice ruleset, but at the moment I have nothing for it.

Although give it another year, maybe two, I will consider picking it up again as my boys get older.

Not interested,minis are nice and all,but it's just not my thing.
Also feel the time and resources spent by GW on LOTR could be better spent on 40K/Warhammer...but that's just my opinion.

Not interested because of its source material.

Lord of the rings bores me to sleep.

It could have the most fantastic models in the universe, and the best ruleset EVAH! but as long as it involves hobbits and sauron, it's just not going to appeal to me.

Nobody around here plays it. One guy built and painted some of the factions, but still couldn't find anyone to play it.

Would play, but I have not heard much good, mainly because of rules.

I'd maybe play but nobody around my area plays it.

There's three reasons why I don't like LOtR SBG.
1: I find the combat system horrible. Fight values makes pathetic little impact(at least they didn't the few times I played) and I find the whole concept of only one guy attacking bad.
2: It takes an eternity and a half to actually kill something.
3: The models look OK, but it's so few different poses. Especially when it comes to infantry.

I haven't played WOtR, so I can't really judge that, but I'll probably never try.

Dont like it, loved the movie hate the game and system seems like to much of a hassle

I voted 'Dont have/collect it but will someday', but it was between that and 'Not interested - dont want to get started with another game system'.

Only for a few people I know who do collect it and say its a good game.

The models are nice!

Mouse wrote:I will never play this game because of the ghastly ent figures. Those are the worst models in the history of table top wargaming.

um....what about the baby ogryns the catchcans, nagash, lord solar macharius and dozens of other horrid sculpts

Not interested - expensive, medocre minis, bucket o' dice = win, the system itself is not brill.

I' also rather they dropped it and supported mordheim, necromunda, gorkamorka, space hulk, epic, warmaster and warhammer quest.

really, it takes ages. 300pt games last about 4-5 hours. Every combat is done 1v_ individually, and every model needs a 6 to wound, and if not, they go back an inch. wheee.

Lord of the rings was the first miniature game i ever played, to be honest it was a great game i liked how cheap it was the only thing that it lacks is army building as like not much different equipment to get, the models would sell better if they were customizable in stead of just making an arm go down or up. But over all id play it again if other people would to.

Its a fun fast pace game and i like the combat when you fight in close to see who wins the battle, to me its more realistic instead of just going by Initiative, i mean what fighter charges and lets the other guy attack first.

I started out with LOTR,it was fun and simple.

Although after a while all those added rule books came out and it lost the appeal. So I moved up to 40k.

LOTR is fun for beginners.

I started with LotR, and played it a few years, then I saw that there where other wargames form GW. xD

I like the models, and I'd have got some to use as bits, but they're not in heroic scale, so that put me off...I've just never met anyone who plays it either, so yeah.

I like the models, and use the Orcs and warriors of Harad in my D&D sessions. The Harad make great highwaymen and Thieves' Guildsmen. The orcs make good "darker fantasy" orcs than the GW type. Never had any interest in the wargame rules though.

The same reason I don't want to play IG or Empire... who wants to paint a bunch of humans?
Other than that, it's old territory for me and I'd rather play something fresh and new

When I was 10 or 11, some friends and I ''played'' it. AKA we would paint and set up terrain and then, just like toy soldiers, moved them around.
Not like a game, more like "This soldier attacks him, but he dodges and stabs him".
We all wanted the good guys to win (Gondor!) and thus had maybe 20 Rohan warriors fighting against 5 Orks.
Eventually we all quitted, due a variaty of reasons, too expensive, stupid shop owner and the miniatures broke too easily.
I still have the miniatures, although most of them are broken/bended.

When I was 14, I picked up a box of Cadians.
I ain't sure if this counts as ''getting started because of LotR".

Still, why would people refuse to play a game because ''it's too mainstream''?
I would love it if 40k was regarded as somethign normal and not as a "creepy old guy or hyper little kids"hobby

Almost 70% not interested

I completely agree. I actually dread turning the page in my new WD to discover more LotR BS. The game is dead. There are no new minis. They can't just make up mini's that don't exists in middle earth. It really needs to just go away. If they want to revive it in some way when The Hobbit comes out, fine. Maybe we'll get some cool dwarf minis. Honestly, the minis, with the exception of the Balrog and the Flying Nazgul, are just uninspired. The game appears to be drawn out and boring, though I never had an interest in it, so I have not played it, nor would I. I understand that it probably got a lot of people interested in table top gaming and more so GW, but how could you go to the store to buy LotR stuff and pass up WFB stuff which is way, way cooler? Not to mention, that you just passed on the box that has 10 power armored spacemen with huge guns...
Ditching LotR, or at least this focus on it, and concentrating more emphasis to Specialist games, would be a godsend from GW.

There.

There's my rant.

Played both WotR and LotR: Skirmish.
Loved both of them.

Different scale (than Warhammer) - fail

There should be an option for;

Not Interested - Don't like the game system

Other. I'd really like to give it a go, but nobody else in my area cares.

I like the miniatures a lot- especially the more realistic scale and the weta designs which I think are a lot better than the Skulltastic GW efforts. (Actually, anything that GW has added to the game has tended to be Skull-o-rific and awful). Stuff like the plastic troll kit has a lot of potential for conversion, too.
I really like the skirmish game for heroic fantasy skirmish. I've had some really fun battles. Unfortunately, in my locality, only one other guy played so it got a bit samey being either Moria vs. Isengard, Mordor vs. Isengard or Fellowship vs. Isengard.
WOTR is also lots of fun, but the sheer number of miniatures needed is a bit off putting, and I couldn't get a decent group to play with, either. I do like it a lot though. I think it is a good system for a more generic fantasy game. And the armies look amazing on the field. (I've painted something like 150 various Orcs, Goblins and Gribblies, and I'm not bored yet. And the big centrepiece models like the balrog and Witch King on Fellbeast are bloody amazing, and finally, I absolutely love the troll figures they have, as well as the warg riders. Hell, talking about it is making me want to go pick up a box of wargs and some trolls!)

Mouse wrote:I will never play this game because of the ghastly ent figures. Those are the worst models in the history of table top wargaming.

With that being stated, I read the books once a year for the past 20 years, and I love the movies.

Because of one set of figures seems an odd reason to dislike an entire game!
The Ents are better than the WE Treemen
LoTR models are some of the best sculpts GW produce imho!
The dwarves are far superior to the WHFB humpty dumptys

Indeed. I also much prefer the weta look for Orcs, Trolls, and so on. The weakest sculpts by far are the additions from GW- giant bats, giant spiders, Uruk Hai, Mordor and Goblin Shamans are all weak and clash with the gritty look of the rest of the models something fierce. The shamans all have stupid skulls on them, which really annoys me. Same with some of the Morannon Orc captains- stupid giant topknots.
But the plastic sets are really really great to work with and paint. And I found them easy to convert too!

i voted other as im not interested but i like the models (balrog). i just find the rules are broken/ i poke holes in them and think they need a look over. that is the non War of the ring

I dont know anybody who plays it, and Im not shure i would if I did, it just doesent have anything atracting enough

The miniatures are fantastic. I own a ton of them and use them for other game systems. I don't use them for the lotr system.

ive played the game a few times,its pretty fun and think the models are fairly decent, but its just not popular and its too hard to find a game unless you wanna play the guy who works at GW and plays with the house army. i also like the move/move-shoot/shoot-assault/assualt. its how 40k and fantasy should be played. seems more real

Totally agree Ejhellstrom
The kids in our library group are starting to get into LoTR atm and the system is much better imho
Also like rolling for piority every turn

I like the models but I do not like the game mechanics

Awful, awful game. Plus anything to do with LoTR is awful.

Why is it aweful?

I would find the models/armies really boring to collect and paint. They're all just so plain and samey.

Don’t want to play it. If I wanted to play a fantastic game, I would play fantasy

Don't really like fantasy games.

Its hard not to like the story, it's the foundation to most modern day fantasy in one way or the other after all. But I've never been attracted by licence games, or games that's based on real life events for that matter, the world and history etc. will inevitably be too fixed and predestined.

I have a few minis here and there but there is just not enough people in my area who play it (no one lol). Most of the minis are just horrid *cough* Ents *cough*. I think GW should've dropped it a long time ago and focused on better games like Mordheim and Necromunda.

I prefer LOTR to any other Wargame really, it is what got me started with Wargaming, I have owend around 5 different armies over the years, and I have reached gaming heaven, Easterlings all the way

got me started with wargaming...only game i play, but i do collect some 40k.

Its not realy my style.

I started wargaming with the magazine they brought out a few years back, iv stopped LOTR now but i still have some old minis and i think its a great way for younger kids to ease into wargaming as they will probably be already aware of the background and this will help them understand why some guys work the way they do and why the others work differently

Never liked the models. If I'm going to get into another game its going to be sci-fi near/far-future.

You know I actually play the free Lord of the Rings Online game (which is pretty awesome) and I actually wouldn't mind picking up riders of Rohan just for something to paint. I never expect to wargame with the figures, they would just look nice in my Glass Cabinet.

I never liked Lotr... so that's an automatic no for me :V

I can't afford another game at this point. :(

Not a fan of the models, I don't think they're badly done, I just don't look at them and get that wow factor, and that's what it's all about for me.

Plus I got my arse handed to me years ago in a trial game by a horde of goblins (I was young, think it must have scarred me...)

I don't really like it. The models were always a bit meh to be, and I find the scale to be awkward.

And the rules...ugh.

I tried some a few years back, didnt enjoy it and I didnt think the models were quite as nice as the ones from 40k.

To be honest, it was the thing that got me into wargaming.
I loved the movies and the books, and when I first saw pictures of all the mini's made in the exact likeness of the film characters, I knew I wanted to have some.
I still regard the rules system as far more elegant than 40K (which I have several armies of), and I think it is GW's greatest game for portraying heroes as, well, heroes.
Hopefully I don't get any gak from any 40K fans for this...

Oh, and from a modelling point of view, I think the models do their job very well.

I like the models, I loved the movies and the magazines they did that had some basic hobby stuff and a frame or 2 of models is what got me into the hobby (although I was like 12 at the time and didn't understand how to put a proper army together >.&gt.
Looking back on the rule system I like it except for the part where you kill half the other guys orcs and even with 4 dwarves/elves/elite humans you can win simply because they all run away.
I actually have a ton of (horribly painted) LotR stuff in my garage and would love to get into it again but I doubt it would be easy to find someone to play against :(

Got a small collection of figures more to paint later than to gme

I play 40k tournaments at my local GW. Me and my best friend both run CSM. He decided to buy a Balrog to run as a SGD. We showed up at the team tournament with this thing fully painted/based/converted but the GW guys said it was a no-go due to copyright something or other. They encourage conversion and kitbashing with 40k and WHFB, but not LotR.
So New Line Cinema and Peter Jackson. They'll get my movie dollars, that's it.

Here are some nerd heresies this nerd will push:

1). The Lord of the Rings (read three times as a child) is ultimately boring and bloated (read a fourth time as an adult);

2). The Hobbit was a light-hearted read which, per my opinion via the trailer, looks like it's being translated into a super-serious movie;

3). The Lord of the Rings movies are boring and bloated.

LOTR boardgame: an excuse not to update codexes and army supplements. Raspberries all around.

Have an army of men and an easterling army with mumakil

its a waist of GWs money. they could be spending all the resources used for LoTR for getting new codex out for 40K and or WF and producing the 2nd wave of models faster so those who play armies with only half the models even out dont have to wait. They could even put those resources into other expansion games of 40K or WF that need updates or make new and better ones.

I have quite a few of the older models but have lost all interest in the game.

I play LOTR with my family because my dad likes the movies and so do my brothers, as of 40k and fantasy, we can't agree.

It's my favourite game!

It is the best of the 'BIG 3' being a lot easier to collect than the others, the combat is more realistic with battle lines merging and going to and fro and some of the mini's are the best around. Really surprised it doesn't do a lot better, it sure does deserve it!

To those that tried it earlier and dismissed it because of the pace, it's a lot faster these days, had a game that lasted 4 turns once instead of 10 or so.

Oh and the siege's are beast. Period.

its good but i prefere the less well known war of the ring

Models, while high quality, are way to expensive.

models are nice but the game system is gak

war of the ring was one of the worsts (wooo, I can have aragorn in a unit of moria goblins fighting along side some hobbits -_(\ )

I was really excited for this when it came out. I thought that Fantasy was going to go in this direction. Then 7th and 8th edition happened.

OMG, I love it, I play all three systems and I like them all but I love playing lotr, it really annoyss me that in GW I can rarely find anyone who plays..

Vaguely interested, but the SBG has a very unwieldy ruleset and GW are running it into the ground.

I love it, have some armies of Rohan and Isengard, while my lil bro went for Gondor. We found it to be really fun and just love the models for it.

What i hate about it now though, and what has kept me from getting more models, is the box change and price rise on them. It just isn't right..

Would like a all wood elf army but it's GW it's just too much money and not enough players. In time through, in time

It's a great game but no one in my area plays it.

I like it, have a lot of LOTR figures, but no one to play with.

Started my wargaming career with LOTR, at a 40k club, but was only one person interested in playing LOTR so I soon moved over to 40k and since then have only played 3 or 4 games of LOTR.
