Numenorean cavalry
Anarion foot and mounted

As I have a huge last alliance army I would love GW to do a supplement on them! :twisted:

Did anyone mention Ondoher? Gilgalad and Elendil on horseback?!

How about some more Khand units and make them not suck so hard?
Mahud raiders and warriors in plastic
Goblins could use another more accessible basic troop type that's not metal or finecast
hobbits in plastic...they would be so much fun if they were actually buyable.
give easterlings another foot unit or two, the army really isn't that customizeable.
More types of High Elf foot soldiers...it's not fair to give them a billion awesome heroes with only one type of foot soldier.
Dunleings could also definitely be expanded
Also Harad could definitely use some better heroes.

these aren't really miniatures but they were the best thing ever...does anyone remember Battlehosts? If they remade them for Hobbit+LOTR that would be so sick.

also, where did the shades go from the gw catalog?

I mentioned Gil-Galad on horseback. I have a small high elf army devoted to him.

I'd also like to add Gothmog the Balrog Lord! That would be great.
Corsair and Dol Amroth ships

I'd love to see decently-sized replicas of the two dwarf statues which flank the Erebor main gate.

I don't think this is the age we're talking about , but I really want to see some more miniatures from the Silmarillion , such as Huan , the great hound of Valinor , or Morgoth , lord of evil. Some werewolves would be pretty cool , too. (-

If the Hobbit Movies continue to do well I would be enormously surprised if the Silmarilion is not made into a series of movies.

Above all I would like to see Dumbledores as giant stinging insect would really stand out on the table top! Hopefully (but I severely doubt it) that they will appear in Bilbo's poem in the Hobbit!

I'd have loved to see more "passenger on horseback" minis. They only ever produced Legolas and Gimli on horse, way back in the original Two Tower release, and I've always dreamed of having an Eowyn & Merry and Gandalf & Pippin on horse. Luckily though, I have an awesome friend who's done superb conversions of said models.

They did Arwen & Frodo aswell.

Curse you and your superior memory....

I'd love some multi-part plastic kits for generic troops.

Dorthonion · **Posted:** Sat Nov 30, 2013 8:07 am

How could I forget?
Smaug, in plastic, at least 2 feet long overall nose to tail (same or more if the wings were extended). I wouldn't care if it cost a lot as you would only probably ever want one of them.
Probably...

Look a Christmas miracle, an Uruk-hai Captain with shield for the Fighting Uruk-hai:

Just wanted to say I love this post I literally lol every time I read it

I'd also like to see:
the two blue wizards
More variety of ents
named spider queen
More troop options for the Easterlings
A Fountain Guard Captain (named ot unnamed)
Named Gundabad Black-shield hero
Gorkil the Goblin king (BFME 2)
All the heroes from The 3rd age and War in the North games
Agendaur (spelling? )
Wolfrun
Men of Carn Dum
More feral units orcs, goblins etc
Haradrim Swordsman

And most of all:
Mahud Shaman/War-priest to give them fury (I just think it'd fit)

A big thumping Second Age supplement, like they had plans for a while ago (based off LoME).

New High Elves and Numenoreans - plastic kits, elites, cavalry, etc, Celebrimbor, Elendil's sons, Oropher, Sauron as Annatar, Werewolves, Rivendell rangers, the Blue Wizards, Black Numenoreans at their height (so no raggeddy robes and nazgul style armour - they'd be wearing the heavy armour in the style of Elendil and isildur, but with corrupted symbols and iconography. A nice counterpoint to the numenoreans themselves, and we could see how two Ages of the world have corrupted them into the current ones.

I could go on and on...

Also, a Siege supplement,whilst we're in fairy land. Plastic modular castle kits, rules for building the castle (eg, 1000 point game, attackers get 1000 towards siege equipment and special rules, and defenders get 1000 points towards building a fort. Keep, walls. Towers, gates, etc, and upgrading them - oil, murder holes, portcullis, etc).

Follow up with a Mass Battles supplement (I'm thinking like the Alamo ruleset from WHH, that uses the core LotR rules, but just adds formations), a battle companies supplement, campaign books focusin on key conflicts - war of Dwarves and orcs, Siege of Erebor, etc...

So much room to expand...

Maybe one of us has to infiltrate into GW and make all of this happen.
So, is anyone Ninja enough?

Dorthonion · **Posted:** Mon Dec 30, 2013 3:13 pm

Who needs ninja when one can BAZ00KA?
I cannot see much Second Age stuff or any First Age minis happening for a host of reasons including IP licensing, lack of free movie-associated advertising, and GW's apparent lack of commitment to sustaining even the existing LotR range. Pessimistic perhaps but the evidence is out there (to paraphrase Fox Mulder).

Very interesting list that you lot have come up with. In fact I'm doing some of them on commission for several people. I won't say which ones though. I personally really wish we had official rules for a captain of the dead. Warbands really killed off my 40 strong AotD force with only one leader to pick from and no might.

My list:
Elendil Mounted
Anarion ft and Mounted
Numenorean Cavalry
Numenorean Command

Lindir Armoured
Gil-galad Mounted
More High Elven Troops
Some FA Elven Troops and Heroes

Blue Mountain Dwarves of Beleriand
