Who says? The GW police won't come round your house, FLGS or gaming club if they see your army. The only thing that they cannot allow is to have pictures of your army published in official GW publications, that is all.

+ Ian McKellan is spot on, Christopher Lee not bad. Also Agent Smith, great job by the sculptors
+ Goblins look suitably yucky
+ All looks very characterful, like the dwarfs in particular.
- Why are we seeing these in iPhone pics taken by an adventurous Pole, with their features of the models distorted by the curved pages? These should be in full, high-res glory-vision on the website, with links spammed throughout the blogsphere, miniature web pages, even links through New Line and videogame tie-ins. Yes, I realise pigs might fly, better of course to restrict this so as few people as possible can see them. - Orcs look like something taken from Max Max, doing some kind of work-out to Village people and then bred with Mike Tindall. although I realise that might be a stylistic thing from the film.
- The prices, especially for those trolls. Why? Because they can.

Plastic dwarves look great as do Gandalf and the Goblin King. I might actually buy the box for Christmas.
Warg riders look worse than the ones we have now. another case of rider being paralysed from the he waist down, like with those horrid Seeker Marauders.
Bog standard goblins should be fine once the receive a proper paint job.
Hunters are okay I guess. Don't like the poses.
The council looks genuinely good.
Trolls are ugly. Maybe it's the ridiculous light effects but they seem to have no definition whatsoever.

closest store that has warhammer players is a GW, I don't have a table or anything at my house

Make Dolls Great Again
Clover/Trump 2016
For the United Shelves of America!
This morning I checked NR threads...oh dear.. just to find dat.. Those orcs and goblins are way too sexy. As I expected Peter Jackson to add sexy stuff (I suppose nostalgia towards his earlier career), but GOOD GOD I expected reworked Galadriel NOT greenskins.
I love all these, while I passed LoTR for a mere 10 years but this stuff fits me well. Even trolls are superb.
seriously cmon it's a real deal (except for price) for warhammer - trolls as trolls/slave giants, goblins as gouls, orcs as slaaneshi marauders, Radagast as Taal priest.
Spoiler:

The terrain surprises me, I was expecting walls and buildings (i.e. representing a goblin town) rather than ladders and walkways. Sort of looks like a LotR/Hobbit version of Necromunda.
Can ladder and walkway designs be copyrighted as part of the LotR universe? If not, we just might see them also released as non-game-specific scenery?
The rest look like the same sort of poses and quality as the nasty vinyl minis from the star wars minis game. Well that's four releases in a row that have been a let down from GW. Their standard of sculpts seems to have dropped drastically, where have all the good sculptors gone? Or is it just they are making to many design compromises for the sake of reducing cost? Either way this is not a good thing.
This is only my opinion and I'm sure others will vary.
These are flat-out the worst miniatures that GW has ever produced.
Seriously. They look like bad action figures.
The arms are out of proportion (upper arm larger than lower arm), and look like they've been sculpted by squidging green stuff around a piece of wire and bending it in half.
There isn't even a slight hint of correct musculature or anatomy on the models, the legs are even worse than the minotaur legs.
Looks like they have rotatable action-figure style wrists as well.

You have to remember that the trolls were sculpted to look like the ones in the movie, now I have refrained from watching trailers (too many spoilers!) but I am guessing they share quite a good resemblance? Especially if the Perry's are sculpting them!

They're sculpted to look identical to the forthcoming Hobbit film. I wouldn't go out so far as to say that it's entirely GW's fault, although we're yet to see Tom, Bert and Bill on the silver screen for anything more than two seconds (TV spot-trailers) ... Still; I'm not a fan of these.
I have to admit experienced GW haters are able to hate stuff designed by third party as desperately as they do it regards to original GW.
In theory, none of current haters is mentioned in particular.

Presumably the Goblin Town Scenery Set (if the release list floating about is correct)
Escape from Goblin Town Limited Edition: 100€ (56 figures!) Hobbit Rulebook: 65€ (288 pages)
Hobbit Paint Set: 35€
Custom Figure Case: 50€
The White Council: 60€ (4 fig box)
The Trolls: 65€ (3 figure box)
Goblins of the Misty Mountains: 30€ (18 figure box)
Goblin Town: 45€ (scenery set?)
Hunter Orcs: 30€ (12 fig box)
Hunter Orcs on Fell Wargs: 35€ (6 fig box)
Bolg: 20€ (clampack)
Narzug: 15€ (clampack)
Goblin Captain: 13€ (clampack)
Fimbul the Hunter (ft & mtd): 35€
8th from the top
So I'm assuming they are releasing a boxed game of this? Anyone know what the 56 mins are and if the whole box set is limited or if it's following the Dark Vengence idea of first release being ltd with an extra model or two.
