I'd be totally happy with just republishing the old minis. I still think they hold up really well!

I'd be really happy is they made some "Start Collecting" style boxes for this game. The army structure would fit it really well.

It's a mould making position, nothing to do with sculpting or game design, and not exclusive to MESBG. It's a bit of a misrepresentation.

Combined with the new experiemental army rules they just released that include tons of units whose models are oop...

I should not have found this thread and read all the way through it. I was already thinking about looking for a wargame that could satisfy my fantasy itch without being Kings of War, Age of Sigmar, or Warhammer Fantasy. Now I'm thinking about picking up some Lord of the Rings minis and books instead of getting into 8th Edition 40K. My wife and step-daughter really like the Lord of the Rings movies, so maybe I can get them to play with me at home 
Maybe now is the time to get my Haradrim, Isengard, and Rohan armies...

I had missed the comment about them returning to osgiliath and the pelennor fields. That's incredibly exciting. Have we heard anything more as to what this might entail?
|
I do commissions! PM me if you're interested for prices and details, I am happy to paint a small group group of models first at a different price so that you can see my painting first hand, before making a big decision.
Again, PM me if interested. |

I like these, but man, I'd REALLY love to see them continue to release more of the LoTR legacy kits. I still want some knights of Dol Amroth on foot.
But I'd also love to see them flesh out some of the post WoTR stuff too. Maybe a new Faramir or Gimli reflecting their elevated stations or an older Aragorn leading a campaign against the Easterlings.

Let's hope there is a spear version of this soon so we can get rid of the godawful finecast bends and actually have some straight spears. Same for Mirkwood too.

I'm conflicted! Having tracked down and paid a premium price for many of the old metal figures, I get annoyed then they rerelease them (I bought the hard-to-find Gandalf the Grey on horseback litteraly weeks before they rereleased it for half the price I paid. 
On the other hand, for the benefit of redeveloping the game community, I welcome ever rerelease.
But I'd also love to see them flesh out some of the post WoTR stuff too. Maybe a new Faramir or Gimli reflecting their elevated stations or an older Aragorn leading a campaign against the Easterlings.
Those do sound fun, but unlikely until and unless they do a post-war supplement.

My first thought:
Hmmmm....not sure $130 is what I'd consider reasonably priced.
My second thought:
Oh, crap, I'm in the NZ store....let me just change that...
My final thought:
$65. Feth, the last thing my wallet needs is reasonably priced Hobbit Warbands.

Worh noting that it mentions other warbands to come. Mirkwood elves are a given, but it will be curious to see if other blisters get the same treatment. Things like Gundabad Blackshields, Black Numenoreans, High Elf spearmen etc.

I'd be down for the heroes of Erebor dwarfs as a warband instead of their silly price for individual blisters.

That is what I thought at first LMFAO. Then I said, "wait, yup, NZ prices." For $80 Canadian still pricey, but it's Forge World. I might have to see if my FLGS can order this since it's on the GW webstore and I can finally start buying Forge World minis and not worry about shipping costs now.

Its not FW though. Its finecast, I think they mightve come out before FW took over, but not completely sure... mightve just been designed before that point. Generally though, pretty great. Finally getting the hobbit stuff might become a realistic thing to do... (I mean, using the models without dicounts would be pretty silly at best...)
