I don't like any of the big things. Well, the watcher is kind of cool, but the beast that the orcs are riding? What in Middle-Earth is that thing? Even the Horror from the Deep sounds more Tolkienesque. If orcs had huge monsters like that, they would have definitely been at the Pelennor Fields along side the Mumakil. The Horror stuff is alright I guess, as Gandalf does mention some random stuff living in the depths of Moria, but having it on the surface fighting Gondorians is a bit too much. This feels like it is turning away from Tolkien and becoming more High Fantasy. And the watcher is a cool model and all, but how is it gonna fight on a tabletop consisting only of land? The goblin king looks really weird hanging onto that pillar. The warg riders thing is not bad, but if you get many of them, are they all seriously gonna be doing a front wheelie like that?
I am glad that they are doing more Lotr though, and will probably be getting the new books for Fallen Realms and Men. The easterling models look awesome, but without plastics will be too expensive for me to get. The dead models are also really cool, though I will personally not have much use for them. Overall, even though this paragraph is a lot smaller than the last one, I think that the good aspects make up for the bad ones, and I look forward to this release, if only to get updated rules and see other people with new stuff.
Thanks!
Maermaethor.
You sounded like you werent overly impressed, well im not either, that goblin dude on the pillar, that is just stupid, the rhino thing i dont mind, all the easterlings look appropiate enough, the watcher looks cool dum, the demon looking thing looks bad [word deleted], but yes i agree its getting like fantasy. And the goblins riding the wargs is...well...only good for luaghs.
Well i know what the models are, and i think i may just let Mrs gw employe know that i know, haha, thanks for showing us the pics.
