War of the Ring

No niin, mitäs tunteita tällainen uutinen (tai siis huhu) herättää...
"Direct from the word of Nottingham GW's manager after going to the Manager's Meeting regarding the upcoming LotR:SBG Expansion, The War of the Ring.
-384 pages
-HUGE expansion allowing massive games to be played the size of those depicted in movies/books.
-Based on 'The Alamo' expansion for Legends of the Old West (which was originally based on LotR in the first place).
-Makes use of specialised Movement trays to easily manuvore large formations.
-Formations purchased in terms of what you get in a boxed set-e.g. Infantry in groups of 8, Cavalry in groups of 6.
-Lesser characters e.g. Sharku are purchased with their own warband, e.g. Sharku comes with 5 other Warg Riders on his stand, plus a second stand of 6.
-Major characters act individually and can really affect the flow of battle.
-LOTS of new models. These include
--PLASTIC Ents
--NEW mounted Theoden (which is, according to my source, the most beautiful one yet)
to name but a few. (i.e. these are the ones I remembered Razz).
-This will be an EXPANSION that is aimed directly at 40k and Fantasy players who had trouble going over to LotR as they found it wasn't as simple to play huge battles. Yes, it is an attempt to get more money from 40k and Fantasy players if you think cynically, but if you think sensibly, its bringing more players to this great community.
One of the first things my manager said to me before he told me of all this was 'Oh, Lord of the Rings has a future all right, and its ******* awesome!'. So for you people worried about it falling off radar, fear not. LotR is here to stay, and its getting badass. Smile
EDIT: P.S. And for those wanting an Elf Sourcebook soon-It'll probably be Q3/4 2009. In all honesty, Elves are bad enough at the moment, when the new book comes out they'll be sick. GT 2010 will have every board covered with Elves and Mordor.... "
