Good to hear, I must have missed that info!

It's beautiful...the time of the hobbit has come!

Guys we're playing yesterday. Getting my Grim Hammers ready to join battle in January.

Crikey, that's a lot of Goblins! I can't see that game ending well for the Elves!

2017 Catalogue - pics courtesy Joe Grocutt from GBHL

Gundabad Berzerkers - £22 for 3

Plastic Lake-town house - includes modular house, jetties, boat, oathouse, and extra bits. £25 each or three-pack for £70

RE-RELEASE!!! Ruined Watchtower at Amon-Sul "WEATHERTOP" £255

-------

GW has just annihilated the secondary market - the Weathertop piece has been going for up to £1000, and the re-release is, from what I understand, cheaper than the original release in 2002.
The plastic Lake-town house with all those accessories is an absolute steal at that price. (Aiming to get at least six, up to twelve)
Gundabad berzerkers are definitely overpriced, especially compared to the Iron Hill Dwarves. (I'll still get a pack, though)

yeah those houses are great value !

Amon Sul is seriously tempting. Is it limited edition or do I have time to sensibly save up the money for it?

How can I get the catalogue? The free delivering per Mail request doesn't longer exist.

No idea, to be honest. It's in their catalog and nowhere in the text does it say "limited edition". But I wouldn't wait too long. I'm definitely on the fence about spending that money, but it's also such a beautiful piece.

Yeah, after the prices of the AoS terrain I would have thought they'd be £35 / $55 each, so definitely not complaining

I'm not too into the Laketown Battle per se but I am looking forward to constructing a fishing village to be the target of Deep Ones and Sahuagin.

That house looks like it would make a lovely addition to my WHFB/AOS table.

I was thinking the same thing. A couple of those would make a great Strange Aeons board.

Do those buildings have any interior detail?

I haven't been paying much attention to LOTR for some time but it doesn't appear to be carried by indies anymore? At least not the new stuff.

Up the the FLGS. Much of the plastic box sets are all retail packaging. Blister packs have pretty much moved to direct only.

You read my mind.

You say that now but you'll be wide-eyed and excited when I have it all painted and you're about to play!

Hey I got no problem playing with your awesomely painted miniatures!

I think a fishing village is definitely on the cards

There will be a Laketown Bundle you can buy.

GW product description wrote:This bundle allows you to build 3 Lake-town Houses. The Lake-town House features a great deal of modularity, meaning multiple kits can be easily converted to create your own Lake-town settlement. The house itself features reversible gable ends, and the kit includes a ton of extras:


- 1 rowing boat with separate oars;
- 2 barrels;
- 2 fish baskets;
- 1 glass float;
- 3 lanterns;
- 1 hanging sign board;
- 1 outhouse, including seat and door;
- 1 loading hook;
- 3 long walkways and 1 short walkway.

It includes an outhouse...

Price is 83 NZD for a single set, 230 NZD for the bundle of three. Saves you 19 NZD. Don't have US prices yet, but just a heads up that the bundle DOES save you some money.

GW is killing it these days. This is the best out-of-the-box terrain I have seen by far in this price range.

Yeah, I can see those kits being very popular. They'd make for a great Laketown board and I look forward to seeing what the LotR community can come up with, but at the same time they're generic enough that they'd work just as well in AoS/KoW/Frostgrave/Malifaux, basically anything fantasy or steampunk. Top notch stuff from GW there at a very reasonable price.

Would those be scaled appropriately for malifaux?

28mm vs 32mm is noticeable in minis, but for terrain I think it'll be fine, I use 28mm terrain with Batman (35mm) without too much trouble, and those minis are consistently taller than Malifaux stuff. Depends a lot on how picky you are about terrain but for filling out a board with housing, I imagine a lot of people will take a few mm in scale difference for the price and quality of these kits.

I know I would!

So... Do the Laketown buildings have interior detail?

No.

Nice terrain for mordheim also, just don't put down water and you have the docks part of town where all the water evaporated. Could even used parched earth gaming mats to show that.

The Laketown houses look fantastic, will be tough not to pick up a ton of packs to build a whole town.

Really happy about Weathertop being re-released as well, long overdue, it is a fantastic model. GW have been paying a little bit of attention to aftermarket sales for a while now and seeing opportunities. Gives me hope they will one day re-release the Empire Landship.

Only disapointment are the Gundabad beserkers 3 for 22. Was hoping they would be inline with current infantry (3 for 15).

I'm really hoping GW were sensible enough to slightly over-scale the Laketown kits, they'd be perfect for any number of Mordheim-related projects but not if they're noticably smaller than existing terrain.

I plan to build a whole town for my AoS Freeguild with those lakehouses. Yessiree!

Lovely stuff! :-D
