If they were up, they've been taken down again as I can't see them on the OZ or NZ site.

Just in case you didn't realise, they're on Forgeworld, not GW main (and I can see them on Oz)

Not a bad idea, might be time to call my brother

Ouch, £100 for Thorin's Company.

Ah! That would be exactly why I can't find them. Wish I hadn't found them...


Yo what the feth. They want that much for a couple of dwarves. Piss off Forgeworld you scabs.

I was a little taken aback by the price too. But screw it. I think it's actually cheaper than when they were sold as blisters and it'll be near impossible to find as a complete set again. Especially at a non-absurd price.

But anyway, merry Christmas all.

I think someone said that they were £108 combined previously, so a £3 increase after being off sale for a few years isn’t too bad.

My reaction exactly. I'll stick with the plastic ones for like 1/3rd the cost. $155 US is too much for what you get. Although it could be worth it to some people, I suppose.

So off topic from the previous discussion, but do you guys think they'll get around to giving the Rohan/Easterling treatment to Gondor any time soon?

I could see myself getting (back) into LoTR models if the Gondorians got some new plastic love.

Gondor have got a bit of FW love. Updated sculpt for Denethor and Irolas. Hurin and Ingold plus the rangers.

Plastics wise there's not a whole lot they need. Plastic Citadel Guard and maybe a trebuchet would be about it. I should think they'll probably do a plastic Boromir/Faramir at some point. Might even get two sets of each. Captain/Fellowship Boromir and Ranger/Captain Faramir. Both are needed and both require foot/mounted versions.

Possibly a plastic Beregond too if we're lucky.

Gosh, I'd love a plastic captain Boromir to work with to make a Dol Amroth, or other fiefdom hero/commander.

As a small business owner in the US....Thank you! So many cancelled orders lately because the post office has a moratorium on shipments to AUS and NZ.

Can I interest you in alternative miniatures?

It depends a lot on the material!

Plastic is attractive both because of it's strength vs. falling but ease of cutting to make conversions with. I'm rarely happy with things 'out of the box' to that's an important factor to me.

Osgiliath boxset (in the same manner as Pelennor), coming to your table in 2022/2023.

I'd expect a Last Alliance box set, if I'm gonna be real here.

Two Towers twentieth anniversary in 2022, we'll see.

Amazon has a Third Second Age TV series coming...and the Last Alliance models look like junk.

Id put money on the Amazon series being complete garbage and an absolute mangling of the universe and Tolkien's vision. I hope GW dont get the rights to it and start making models from it.

Will it be a mess? Probably.

Will it look cool? Probably.

Would I want models from it to tell my own stories with? Probably.

I have to admit, it's the upcoming series that has my interest piqued in LoTR again, even if what I'm most interested in exploring and playing out story wise are adventures in the 4th age.

After the total wretched disaster that Amazon has turned WoT into, I no longer have high hopes for their LOTR series.

I really doubt they're going to have anything to do with the tv show. I can't imagine Amazon would want to share their show with the movies in game form. So i would think it would have to be a totally seperate game, which i just don't see happening.

It's hard to imagine this amazon show not being a complete train wreck. And surely it would be a new separate license, so hopefully GW will have nothing to do with it.

I think that's overly 'optimistic'*.

Amazon is almost surely banking on people having fond memories of Lord of the Rings, even after all the drawn-out Hobbit trilogy hullabaloo in order to get viewers.

Amazon is also very, very, VERY sure to have seen how well Games Workshop has been doing the last few years.

Games workshop is sure to have fond memories of the money baths from the original LoTR bubble. And while they are sure to be much more cautious given that the Hobbit as a game never took off, they do already have thier hand in the pot, so to speak.

I also think it's no coincidence that LoTR has been given a new lease on life in parallel with the Amazon series being announced and developed.


I couldn't hazard to say if it will or won't happen, but I do think there is a lot in favor of GW getting the license for the amazon series. Enough to where i suspect it actually GW's choice as to if they want to accept it or not.

I disagree. I just find it very hard to imagine managing the whole licencing hell there wouild be through Amazon, New Line and the Tolkien estate. As well as GW having to pay for another licence just to get ahold of Amazon OC's. As they already have access to the written material for the second age. It would basically be paying for the same material twice. And again, that's even if Amazon would want their own creation being mixed in with an existing game.

And this isn't even taking account into the huge power disparity between the ages. Characters from the second age tend to be massively over characters from the thiird. It would be difficult to balance them in properly to the game. Numenor at fuill power would absoluitely obliterate any third age force for example.

Yeah, it isn't happening.

Big too,

The price however... not so fantastic. $334AUD they want.

There's a painting guide on the WarCom website that gives a bit more of an idea of what you'd actually get in the kit: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/12/09/paint-amon-hen-like-its-right-out-of-the-film-with-this-new-downloadable-guide/ (pdf at the bottom of the page)
It's too stupid an amount of money, and yet... I do love Amon Hen.

New orc hero's up today:

Those are nice. Here's hoping for more good things for the upcoming supplement.

They seem strong

Very nice!

Rather liking the style of those sculpts; quite some mail armour and simple ragged cloth, very solid classic orcs.
