NEW release LOTR models

IM A ENT!!! · **Posted:** Wed Jan 25, 2012 1:09 pm

Down at gw this after noon for a 40k game (which was fun) when a GW employee walked up to me and said "hey you coming in on saturday, well you should, new white dwarf spanking new modells too". "What models?" i asked, "cant tell you" he said. (Damm) "Ill tell you this, LOTR".

So as he's already seen the white dwarf as he said, and seen these anonymous minis. So number 1: cool.

number 2: its good to have a lotr release as its been...too long. :-X

and 3: WHAT COULD THEY BE?? :roll:

So if this is true, then what some of us thought about no new releases before the hobbit is wrong. Cant wait to see what they are.

So, while I was at my local GW, chatting with the manager (who was completely unaware of the changes for LotR), the new issue of WD came in. Sadly, he couldn't show me the inside, but he did manage to give me some information, which I'll gladly share with you.
(For those of you doubting this, keep in mind my track record whenever new rules came out in WD)

There will be three larger kits. Two of them will be priced at €50, whereas the third is €35. All three are Finecast.
It was heavily implied that one of the €50 kits is the Watcher in the Water, though not outright stated.
The plastic cavalry set is either Kataphrakts or a new Easterling cavalry type.
Easterlings are heavily represented in this wave.
Apart from the single plastic kit and the three larger kits, there will be several new characters released in Finecast.
There are mounted characters.
The characters haven't been released before, so they're not yet another reissue of Aragorn and the like.
There is some Elven stuff released as well.

What about blisters? Those new Characters will be in the Larger kit's only? Or will be available new blisters too??

Hope it's some light cavalry for the Easterlings, I still haven't assembled my metal Kataphrakts, they were such a pain to do so.

Guys there may be re finecasts version models, but the employee was clear that the models are ones no customer has ever seen (yet). So it could be both finecast re do's and new spanking models or just spanking new models, which is great. Unfortunatley for me this is going to test my phsycological powers to resist buying the new models as i promised myself not to buy any more LOTR before the hobbit and spend my full hobby budget on 40k (sorry but ive been collecting LOTR since the movies came out and i need a change until the hobbit

) But will see depends on what the models are.

Chris i can take some photos if you like, but you could just go onto the gw site in a 4 days time and look it up

I can relate to that, i bet there like the dol amroth metals, that just didnt go togther and you would need like a truck load of green stuff.

OMG!!!!!!! those are awsome!!!!

OMG

Wow.. I am stunned.

Time to get my Easterlings back out!

BrentS · **Posted:** Wed Jan 25, 2012 4:01 pm

Aside from the obvious big kits that warrant discussion... noticed the Easterling Cavalry includes a drummer. Perhaps a hint that "musicians" will play a more prominant role in the "new" SBG.

Oh yeah, I love the watcher and the Great Beast Gorgoroth!!! I also like the deaths.

Farmer Maggot · **Posted:** Wed Jan 25, 2012 4:05 pm

Nice to see some of the existing Easterlings are getting mounted versions and a foot/mounted Amdur.

I hope that sets the tone for completing missing models (like Sons of Eorl on foot).

That's so cool!! I love Easterlings a lot, and everything else sound really cool as well. Thanks for posting Farmer Maggot!

I've been saving my birthday money, knowing that something had to come out at least by December this year. Wasn't expecting to be able to spend it so soon.
