September 17th and 18th is a very exciting time for fans of The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey™: Strategy Battle Game, as Warhammer World not only hosts the Doubles Campaign Weekend: Towards the Lonely Mountain, but also Games Workshop’s Middle-earth team will be at the event.
Both Jay Clare and Adam Troke (authors of the forthcoming Thjay adame Hobbit: Motion Picture Trilogy™ There and Back Again) will be participating in the event itself, and on Saturday night, they’ll be making a small presentation about their upcoming book, what to expect from the team in the near future… and perhaps a short Q&A if time allows!
Not only that, but if you attend, you’ll have the chance to see some of the latest work-in-progress models from the talented hands of Keith Robertson, Gavin Newton and Rob Macfarlane. Like the one below…
ND FINALLY…
Finally, and perhaps most importantly of all, there will be a very limited stock of an old favourite kit from the Citadel The Lord of The Rings™ range on sale on the day. We can’t confirm WITCH kit it might be just yet, the FATES are still aligning, but when everything is FINALised, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Is 'Eavy Metal Calling?

Interesting... looks like a troll, but most Troll types are already accounted for, the likely candidates for this one seem to be the armoured trolls, the huge mountain trolls (with the catapults) or the smaller Ogres from BotFA.
I wonder if the Witch King diorama will go back on general release at some point, I wouldn't mind a copy if the price is right.

It's definitely Final Fate of the Witch King. I hope they release it via webstore for us customers who can't make it to the UK!

The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies™ Doubles Campaign Weekend: Towards the Lonely Mountain is almost upon us and we have even more exciting news to bring you!
Alongside the re-release of the Final Fate of the Witch-king, the Middle-earth™ team is proud to announce that the highly sought after Defenders of Rohan™ boxed set (see above) will also be making its triumphant return to Warhammer World on Saturday 17th – Sunday 18th September.
There will only be a limited stock of 100 sets of each available over the weekend, so if you want to be amongst the first to have the chance to buy a copy of this classic Citadel kit, be sure that you’re there.
Please note that this set will not be available on the webstore following the event, but may be available at the Warhammer World store and other events in the future.
Tickets are running low for this event, so now is your last chance to secure your place at The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies™ Doubles Campaign Weekend: Towards the Lonely Mountain, along with the opportunity to purchase these two amazing kits.

A bit of a mixed bag here. I suppose the Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli figures are all welcome. Of the three the only one currently available is Aragorn, and that's only the "King of Gondor" Aragorn, so the "Ranger" Aragorn version is still useful. That exact Gamling with Standard figure is still on the GW website, packed with the matching mounted version. Théoden and Eomer are different poses but are otherwise the same as the minis currently listed on the website. I don't recognize off hand who the last Rohan figure next to Théoden is, but he does not appear on the website so I guess he's OOP whoever he is!

Defenders of Rohan is exciting to me, I have Theoden and Eomer from their Mounted-set. The only way to get appropriate foot models was by buying a set like this, actually... I think this was the set but it went OOP and sky-rocketed in price before I could get my foot-models. That is if I wanted to get them without buying the foot/mounted set and having redundant models.
