Don't they still sell plastic versions of quite a few of those?

Yeah, but the point of these is to give people a chance to get hold of alternative sculpts that they won't keep in stock because they have a current plastic kit.

Also, the metal orcs still hold up 20 years later and are probably some of my favourite miniatures of all times. Their plastic counterparts... Not so much.

Can't belive it. They keep on propose old, very old models, and I still find something I need to buy, every time.

I suspect it'll be the same price as the other metal nazgul from the last MtO.

The last MtO was before the price increase.

Does the plastic Cave Troll have the different weapon options?

A fair point. We'll soon see how said price rise affects their MtO.

Yep, certainly does.

Does anyone know when their new scenery GW previewed a few weeks (Months?) ago is going to come out? That tower in particular was really nice looking.

Inside GW yes, outside GW no

Think I will most likely pick up some of the metal orcs, to mix things up a bit

Maybe Halbarad, though I do already have one of the other version somewhere in a box...

Terrain release next week at last

Jesus Dave, you got there fast

yeah the link goes up on Twitter before the main site so I check there instead.

Prices will determine how many kits I get as these are generic enough to work with a lot of settings.

Any knowledge if these will be general release or direct only like Gothmog and Faramir? Kinda want two of the towers.

No idea until the price list releases in the morning.

The community page is not clear if these buildings are sold separate or a box deal.

I was really hoping for a box deal like the Rohan terrain and Dol Guldor set. Its very doubtful, but there's still hope.

The YouTube video shows each to have its own box packaging.

I'm sure they'll do a big box of them at some point, the other terrain pieces weren't initially sold that way.

My recollection is that the Rohan Stronghold came out first and then the individual boxes came out a few months later. That would have been preferable here.

I remember the Rohan bundle terrain box coming out first as well, individual sets followed. As for Dol Guldor, I believe it was the opposite. But that was also a single kit, just repeated in a bundle of 6.

Dif they dont do the bundle deal, depending on the price, I might just hold out and see if it comes at a later date.

Individual boxes only but they are on the price list so general release. About what I expected given current pricing.

Thanks Dave. Was actually expecting around 50 for the tower, so that's a nice surprise. Two towers it is then.

That seems oddly appropriate, when you think about it.

The terrain is even more versatile than it first looks - roofs in particular

Holy crap that stuff is cleverly designed.

Mr. Dranfield, please come back to 40k. I mean these are cool and all, but they have no modularity. We need your engineered excellence back in 40k!

Holy gak. Absolutely frothing to get my hands on some of this.

He can stay where he is thank you very much. 40K already gets the lions share of stuff.

Wow, that terrain kit looks AMAZING... and prohibitively expensive... *sigh*

That's some really nice design work there. May every game get terrain of that quality.

Wow, that's awesome!

Wow, that is nice design. It looks like the original designs for the movies (i.e. nice architecture), it is plastic and it looks functional for wargaming.
