| | Quote: | Incoming: Misty Mountains
Khazad-dûm, nestled below the mighty peaks of the Misty Mountains was once the greatest of all Dwarven holds - a place of beauty, light and artisanship unequalled. Now, however, it is the haunt of Moria Goblins, lumbering Cave Trolls and other, more terrible creatures.
For generations the Dwarves have longed to reclaim their ancestral home, fighting long and bitter wars against the Goblins who have usurped their cherished kingdom beneath the mountains.
This October the battle for dominion is set to intensify as both the armies of the Dwarf Holds and the Misty Mountains receive new reinforcements. With new miniatures for both factions, Good and Evil players have something to look forward to.
For more information about the Misty Mountains releases in October, watch out for future newsletters, keep an on the Games Workshop website and check out October's issue of White Dwarf. Players of the Strategy Battle Game will find rules to accompany all these models in November's issue of White Dwarf. |
It doesn't seem all that long ago that Khazad Dum was released (in comparison to other areas). What more will they release? Maybe a Cave Drake or Stone Giant? What else is there... Gundabad Blackshields. For Dwarves, I dunno. King's Champion and Floi Stonehand, Lore Master of Moria? Most of the other options are just variations of current troops (eg. Iron Guard ancients) so I don't know they'll get models.
Should be interesting._________________ CalCaptain of the White Tower and Uniter of the Goblin Clans  |

| There are many armies that need focussing on before these two (Screams Last Alliance!) but this could still be interesting and I hope GW do a good job on them. I'll add this to the News Items when I get a chance too (remember Cal, you're more than welcome to do so yourself whenever there's something that should be on the homepage, as with any other staff member as you have access to do so  ). _________________ Regards, Jake.  |

| If the minatures don't look epic in any way, shape, or form, I will run down to my nearest GW and start eating my way through dwarf warriors and then regurgitate them back out on the staff's heads. |

How? I can't post anything in the News forum? It just tells me it's locked and I don't have permission.

Which is a shame and also slightly confusing. I would have liked the Giant/Drake to be plastic. I'm sticking with my original guess of Floi, Champion, Blackshields, Drake and possibly metal Giant?_________________ CalCaptain of the White Tower and Uniter of the Goblin Clans  |

| I'm of two minds - it is always nice to get new stuff and there are "missing models" from both forces (at least if you're a WotR player), but as many are quick to point out it wasn't that long ago that these guys got some attention, and surely there are other factions that are more deserving of some new sets?
Numenoreans and 2nd Age elves seem like the obvious choice, having been left alone basically since the original Fellowship boxed game came out, but Arnorians, Khand variags, Dunlendings, and Carn Dum barbarians would all be good choices as well (not to mention that if Carn Dum warriors were released it would be an entirely new faction for SBG!).
Still, any LotR attention is good attention, in my book, and I can't complain too much about some cool new dwarf minis. The current goblins, while good, are also quite old, so maybe GW is looking to update some of them. |

"Information This forum is locked: you cannot post, reply to, or edit topics."
That's the message I get when I click the Locked button. Even though down the bottom it says I have premission to post new topics...
Well, I for one am glad that they haven't released plastic Khandish Warriors. Gives me more time to spend on my existing models and more money for other things._________________ CalCaptain of the White Tower and Uniter of the Goblin Clans  |
