I didnt realise this was heralding the release of a new edition!

Looks like we are getting some rules changes and an update of ALL the armies. 

Designers notes (including information on new books looks like we are getting a rule book, an army book for LofR, and an army book for the Hobbit)

Profile changes

Yeah, a whole new iteration of the game. There's life in it yet Smile

I'll pick up the rulebook and army books (can't see any mention of The Hobbit army book being available with this release though, so guess that will come later?).

I'm so in for this! I need to pick an evil army and start building - my Gondor is acceptable at the moment


RE: Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game - jjakaalbinoboy - 24-08-2018

Yeah I’ll be picking up the rules and army books too.

I find myself almightly tempted to get the full  pelanor fields  box despite owning half the models in it already. (Although you can never have enough orcs and trolls right?) Must resist......


Also I jusy realised this means LotR stuff is no longer direct from GW only! yay!

There’s a PDF available for The Hobbit forces, in lieu of the release of the army book.
