Rumours thread

Most of you have probably already seen this, but it's Warhammer Fest at the Ricoh this coming weekend and there are some middle earth snippets in one of the emails regarding the event...

Quote:We can also announce that Games Workshop’s newly appointed Middle-earth team will be showcasing their projects at Warhammer Fest.

AND you'll get First Access to formerly out-of- production products like all five The Lord of The Rings TM Sourcebooks and several absent Citadel miniatures! We're revealing more soon...

Quote:The new Middle-earth team at Games Workshop is proud to announce that the first out-of-production miniatures from The Lord of the Rings range to return will be available first at Warhammer Fest!

Come to the Sales stands on the day where you’ll find Boromir of the White Tower, Gothmog the Lieutenant of Morgul, Saruman and Grima and the classic Scouring of the Shire boxed set. All of these kits will eventually find their way back onto the Citadel website… but if you want them right away, Warhammer Fest is your first chance.

Quote:So to summarise:

New releases every single month. This will be multiple kits. Some old, some new.

Most new kits will be coming in 'autumn'. Anytime they don't have something new, they will supplement it with a reissue.

Most reissued models will come in whatever they were last cast in. So most will be metal or finecast.

New models will be in forge world resin, as will some old. Eventual aim is for all to be in forge world resin, except the plastics.

Speaking of which, new laketown scenery will be plastic. It's an exception to the rule as it was already so close to being ready for plastic tooling. They hope to release around the end of the year.

New book will be hardback (working title is "There and Back Again"), a supplement to go alongside your hardback hobbit rulebook. It will contain all the rules from DoS and BotFA, as well as new stuff. 30 scenarios will be featured.

Iron Hill Dwarves will be among the first new releases in a few months time. They are still waiting for approval. In the game, Dain is a hardnut who makes nearby dwarves better. He can headbutt models to the ground if he doesn't sound them. The ballista has an arrow stopping move, great denial rules and something totally fresh for the game. The iron hill dwarves are able to form a shield wall (4 dwarves or more in base contact) thus getting a +1 for Defense, so they will be Defense 8.

There were references in Keith's book for the Gundabad Orc Berserkers as well as Thranduil on Elk. There was also a render for a rather tasty looking mace that looked to me like the one Khâmul the Easterling carries in the Dol Guldur scenes.

Very exciting times. They did express they are working on their own time to bring this to us as soon as possible. We need to continue showing our passion and love for the game as we have already been doing!

All in all, awesome day. Well worth it just to see the new Iron Hills dwarves and the Lake Gown scenery.

Popped along to Warhammer Fest to check out the new releases first hand, and had a chat to Adam Troke. All sounds very promising for the future (will write up a bit more when I'm back in front of a computer).

Laketown scenery kit is plastic and due out at Christmas. It's designed to be combined into larger buildings.

Re-releases start now (they had Boromir, Scouring of the Shire, a couple of other sets for sale - alas sold out today).

Ruins of Osgiliath scenery had also been available at the show but had sold out. Should be available online from next week.

Core Laketown set:

Like the look of the buildings and the dwarves. A bit apprehensive at how much they'll cost though.
