Are there going to be any June Miniature Releases?

Its nearing the end of May and I suspect that we may see some Hobbit miniatures released in June. Wishing to avoid general speculation, does anyone have any images or any other reliable information to whats coming?

well that was a misleading title if I ever saw one. If rumored hold true, Azog and a sourcebook are for June

Well don't hold your breath. I have been informed that there are NO hobbit releases in June.

Source or it's not true.

That's all we're going to have until something leaks. I think this thread might have shot itself in the foot with the starting gun, so to speak.

This wouldn't surprise me, but would you mind sharing your source? (if you can, that is)

White Dwarf scans have already started appearing, with all dat Eldar, but nothing leaked from Hobbit yet. Not to say there won't be any, but absence of any scans or rumours leaves me not hopeful.

Ah the typical pics or it isn't true response :lol:

I cannot reveal my source so think what you will.

I have a sneaky suspicion that its going to be a release free month!

Bilbo · **Posted:** Wed May 22, 2013 8:22 am

Sorry about the suggestive title, I do hope that I didn't get too many people slavering unnecessarily! I think that it might be good to keep the monthly Miniature release thread speculation and misinformation free.

One user, who also has an online shop suggested in the chat box a few days ago that there wont be any releases for the Hobbit in June! So much for the source, but I believe it is true and I think it is a good thing! I don't get why there should be new releases every month...they should focuss on the quality instead of bombing out one set after the other.

What about re-releases of LOTR stuff in finecast? There are some minis that disappeared from the website...

@Bildbo: maybe you could edit the title? It's really misleading...at least remove the exclamation mark at the end

GD stated no releases this month

Yes very misleading title, GW are getting better at keeping things under the hat as it were, until last minute.
In away i hope for no release this month so i dont have to buy anything!
A new source book would be nice and maybe some Banner Bearers.

I can confirm no Hobbit releases for trade accounts. If there is anything it is direct only and has been kept under wraps. But as far as I can see and I'm 90% sure on this, nothing in June. The focus is on Eldar for 40k, perhaps we'll see something in July?

I would say "yay cheap month" but in reality it just frees up more funds for me to continue my erebor army and expand my collection of x-wing miniatures

Don't hold your breath. What's gone from the website? Depending on what they are they might just have culled them like they did with specialist game minis.

Gildor Inglorion, Sharka and Worm, Faramirs Rangers as far as I know! There have been rumours about other minis to go like the mahood with blowpipes, but those are still available...But I'm pretty sure the models above will get rereleased, at first they were simply "unavailable" and then they disappeared completely, which was the case with all the minis converted to finecast until now.

Bilbo · **Posted:** Wed May 22, 2013 10:39 pm

Bizarrely, Sharkey and Worm are available in Fine Cast on G.W's Yankee Doodle web site.

Draugluin · **Posted:** Fri May 24, 2013 11:19 pm

Well, the preorders are up, and no Hobbit minis to speak of.

Bilbo · **Posted:** Sat May 25, 2013 11:54 am

I have been on a miniature purchasing abstinence for about a month, this will make things easier!

Harfoot · **Posted:** Sat May 25, 2013 11:59 am

White Dwarf just arrived, it has the Hobbit listed on the cover, but nothing in the magazine (I mean company brochure). Is that false advertising?
Well is time now after buying WD endlessly for the past 12 years and on and off for the past 25 odd years to cancel my subscription.

Are there going to be any June Miniature Releases?
