We can also announce that Games Workshop’s newly appointed Middle-earth team will be showcasing their projects at Warhammer Fest.

AND you'll get First Access to formerly out-of- production products like all five The Lord of The Rings TM Sourcebooks and several absent Citadel miniatures! We're revealing more soon..




http://warhammerworld.games-workshop.com/2016/05/08/middle-earth-comes-to-warhammer-fest/



See the Middle-earth™ team in the Studio Area on the first floor, and get a first-hand glimpse of their latest work-in-progress models. Also, feast your eyes on displays of fantastic Citadel miniatures and talk to the team about the new rules and books they are working on.

Also, a swathe of formerly out-of-production products will be available to buy at Warhammer Fest! All five The Lord of The Rings™ Sourcebooks will be available to buy on the day for the first time in an age (and they won’t hit the Games Workshop website for up to two months after the event).

The Kingdoms of Men, The Free Peoples, Mordor, The Fallen Realms and Moria & Angmar unlock the armies from The Lord of the Rings™ and enable you to use them in games with your The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey™ rules manual. If you’ve been hankering to get your hands on one of these precious tomes, Warhammer Fest is the place to be.

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Oh damn, GW is really starting to hurt my money (again).
Deathwatch, now Warhammer Quest, followed by a revival of LotR... I love it, tough!

Nice to hear that the source books will be available again! Hard to find those now.

GW has been trying to head in the right direction and its good to see more support for this/

The new Middle-earth™ team at Games Workshop is proud to announce that the first out-of-production miniatures from The Lord of the Rings™ range to return will be available for First Access at Warhammer Fest, in the form of four iconic sets of Citadel miniatures.

Come to the Sales stands on the day where you’ll find Boromir of the White Tower, Gothmog the Lieutenant of Morgul, Saruman and Grima and the classic Scouring of the Shire boxed set. All four of these kits will eventually find their way back onto the Citadel website… but if you want them right away, Warhammer Fest is your first chance.

Great news for the game and new players. Too bad for me that I already have all those...

Return of the Ruins!

Osgiliath-RuinsThe Middle-earth™ team are preparing for their first adventure together, as they get ready to greet the masses at Warhammer Fest. Come along and meet them on the day and learn all about the future of the Strategy Battle Game.

Not only will you be able to get First Access to reprinted out-of-production The Lord of The Rings™ Sourcebooks, and the first returning miniatures, one of the items making a welcome return is the fantastic Ruins of Osgiliath kit, a plastic scenery set that’s perfect for your Middle-earth™ adventures.

There will be a limited number available to buy each day at Warhammer Fest, before they are generally available, so if you want to recapture Gondor’s ancient capital (or just populate your game board with awesomely detailed plastic Middle-earth terrain), don’t hang about.

As well as the First Access items in the sales area, if you visit the Middle-earth™ team, you can take a little something away with you too.

The Middle-earth team will also be bringing along a bucket* full of Eye of Sauron™ badges to give away. You can’t buy these effigies of the Red Eye, but stop by the Middle-earth team on the first floor for a chat and they will happily hand you one of your own, for free. Until they run out, that is…

There is a new power rising in Middle-earth… and you don’t want to miss out.
See you at Warhammer Fest!

* It might not be an actual bucket. Currently they’re looking around for a more fitting receptacle… they have been seen scouring Games Workshop HQ for a pack-pony called Bill, an Orc helmet or a Troll’s talking pocket. Let’s face it, a bucket is most likely.

I always heard that terrain set was unusually good and a great value for its price when it was in print, but never thought much about it until a couple weeks ago when I snagged one in a clearance bin for 50% off. It really is a beautiful, and very playable set of terrain, and i'm glad to hear more people will be able to get their hands on it.

On a similar note, on a lotr trade Facebook group I am part of someone had posted up a few sneak peaks of their WIP Dain and iron foot dwarfs with pikes and Shields.

I'll see if I can get the pictures up onto here for you guys to see

They looked rather promising!

Or just look in the 'GW continuing support for Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game' thread in News & Rumours,.
