Was in my local GW shop yesterday, complaining about the total lack of anything LOTR in this month's WD. The chap behind the counter sympathised, then said that this imbalance would be rectified in July. Something big and plastic is coming out, with some similarity to recent big Warhammer releases. Angularity Jnr thinks it could be Grond, but I have no clue. Any wild-a$$ guesses??

Yes I'd heard there was something big coming out soon for lotr. I'm afraid I've not a clue what it is, and am struggling for guesses.

Have we fallen for the "Keep buying, there's something really good just round the corner" trick?

Well, if we're just speculating,

A plastic dragon/smaug? I would think they would wait until the Hobbit part 2 is released, but...

Grond doesn't seem like a particularly viable game model although it would make a great display piece.

Terrain doesn't seem like it would warrant any particular hype though it would be much welcome.

Plastic Artillery, able to build a catapult, ballista, or trebuchet? That seems a stretch.



Like we need to fall for a trick to keep buying.

whatever it is, its about time !!!!

Well, they just did a bunch of orc and goblins, which included a big spider, so maybe we will get a plastic spider queen/giant spiders that could be converted into shelob and come with some extra spider swarms?
Perhaps some plastic mordor uruks?

Yeah, that wasn't the first time that's happened. I used to get WD every month religiously, but not any more.

But if that staffer was honest, that's a real win for us and none too soon in coming
I'm holding out for Angmar and wizards, or some big plastic kit.

Maybe it will be a War of the Ring beginners box set like the Mines of Moria set

To be honest, I have a major doubt that it will be anything particularly life-changing to the game because July is when Storm of Magic come sout, which is an Apocalypse style equivalent for Warhammer, focusing on big magic and big beasties. Apparently several BIG plastic kits coming out for all armies and the developer of the models has been working on it for several years. Not to mention, July is a supposed release date for Tammurkhan: Thrones of Chaos, a Warhammer Forge campaign book (whcih is probably irrelvenat to Games Workshop's release schedule, but oh well).

How about plastic Dol Amroth Warriors?

That would be my guess too.

Or a box with 8Dol Amroth Warriors, 8Axemen of Lossarnach and 8Clansmen of Lamedon that would be sweet

Or drop the Dol Amroth Wariors and get the Men-at-Arms of Dol Amroth, axemen and clansmen

or go mad and give them all a box set

That would be awesome Just too bad that they are (probably) not going to do anything like that

Whoa. Wow. If my computer is correct, then (approximately)
14 pound= 16 dollars
20.50 = 23.50
15 = 17
30 = 34

...et cetera. That's amazingly good for GW

I think 14 pounds is closer to $21AUD, and so on :/
