Fantasy Diskussion - Middle Earth SBG von FW und GW - Battle of the Pelennor Fields Set

[Eversor]

Abgesehen davon hätten die meisten GW-Läden gar nicht den Platz, alle Produkte zu führen.

 

[Lordkane]

Im GW Webshop sind jetzt (fast) alle Artikel als "Webshop exclusive" vermerkt.

Die, die es noch nicht sind hat man vermutlich vergessen (oder ihnen ist es egal).

Stellenausschreibung von GW;

Middle-earth Model Designer: Nottingham, UK
Posted on Wednesday 20 January, 2016
About the Job

Do you want to create fantastic models that will be turned into new Middle-earth products?

Are you excited by the opportunity to develop an idea from concept to finished product in a creative and collaborative environment?

We are looking for another enthusiastic Model Designer to join our Middle-earth team, who can realise ideas using traditional or digital methods.

You will need to be adaptable to the brief, work together with other designers and turn ideas into valuable models for our Middle-earth range of products. You will be responsible for creating exciting new models that are complementary and consistent to Middle-earth’s I.P.

You will need to work to a given brief and meet scheduled deadlines enthusiastically in a design team environment, the Forge World Studio. You must be able to turn your designs into products that can be easily reproduced by manufacturing.

We know that what makes this job hard is creating high quality new models that are complementary and consistent to Middle-earth’s I.P. within a strict timescale.

Working at Games Workshop

At Games Workshop we are looking for people who will do their best to understand the needs of the company and to put those needs first when they are at work. Because of this we believe that what you are like, hence the attitude you show to work and the way you choose to behave is even more important than your skills or experience.

Die Stellenausschreibung ist schon älter, da wurde bereits im letzten Jahr gesucht.

 

[Lordkane]

Die ist aktuell: Stand 20.01.2016.

 

[Eversor]

Vielleicht wurde sie auch nur erneuert oder etwas verändert. Neu ist die Stelle auf jeden Fall nicht.

 

[Lordkane]

Entweder aktualisiert oder die andere Stelle ist vergeben und die suchen doch jemand weiteres. Das vermute ich mal.

osku auf tabletop-hdr.de:

Ich habe bei Games Workshop wegen der HdR- Quellenbücher gefragt (Ich habe ca. 8 E-Mails geschrieben) und habe das hir als Antwort bekommen:


vielen Dank für Ihre Geduld. Die zuständige Abteilung hat uns soeben das Folgende mitgeteilt:

"Wir haben ein brandneues Team, das sich um die Lord of the Rings und Hobbit Produkte kümmert. Dieses hat große Pläne für unser Mittelerde-Miniaturen Sortiment von LotR und dem Hobbit. Der erste Schritt umfasst den Zugang der Quellenbücher für alle, die Sie haben möchten/brauchen. Dies ist nur der erste Schritt auf dem Weg.

Das Team arbeitet zurzeit daran, die 5 Quellenbücher bereit für den Nachdruck zu machen. Diese werden in den nächsten Monaten erhältlich sein – für mehr Informationen schaut bitte regelmässig auf unserer Webseite nach.

As a Wizard once said, "The board is set, the pieces are moving…"

Wir hoffen diese Informationen helfen Ihnen weiter und wünschen Ihnen noch einen angenehmen Tag!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

[BW-Hannover]

Überrascht mich ehrlich gesagt.

 

[Scantraxx]

Mich aber, aber extremst!
Ich hatte eigentlich felsenfest die Auffassung, dass GW die Lizenz für Herr der Ringe/ Hobbit nur verlängert hat, um sie einfach zu haben und kein anderer Hersteller damit Geld verdienen kann.
Aber so kann man sich irren. Der neuen Richtung GWs, die momentan eingeschlagen wird, könnte das doch eventuell doch ein paar Früchte tragen. Bin gespannt und freu mich.
Nur schade, dass ich meine ganzen Miniaturen alle für nen Ramsch Preis vor 2 Jahren verschleudert hab =/

 

[MadRaven]

Thx für die Info. Freut mich, ehrlich gesagt, sehr. Ich habe mich nämlich bisher stur geweigert die unverschämten Wucherpreise für die Quellenbücher zu zahlen.

 

[Morgaris]

Wobei ich mal gehört hatte, dass GW die Lizenz auslaufen lässt?

 

[Lordkane]

GW haben die Lizenz verlängert und haben eine eigene Sparte gegründet die jetzt für das Tolkien-Univerum zuständig ist.

Manchu (MOD) auf Dakkadakka:

News is trickling out of Nottingham about Adam Troke's "state of the game" presentation at Throne of Skulls. It seems like the game may be rebranded as "Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game." One attendee on Facebook posted:

Feel gutted for the people who didn't get to come to ToS and hear from Adam Troke. Fantastic stuff he had to say, not sure exactly what we are and aren't aloud to post but needless to say the hobby is safe with Adam and we are getting NEW stuff guaranteed!

​

Another poster has said there was mentioned of reissuing OOP models.

And from another poster:

What adam said though is he wants us to email them and tell him what we want to see come back and also what we want new.

Send in photos of our painted models and literally support our Middle Earth hobby! Without the support we have shown this hobby in recent years he literally couldn't have got the energy from GW put back in!

​

And again:

Middle Earth SBG. New stuff and Old stuff to be released! There's your headline from me.

​

Optio auf Dakkadakka:

They have a release plan up until 2020.

New stuff will be done the FW way.

There will be a new book by the end of the year and the current sourcebooks are going into printing now

We also got to find out why the Battle of five armies release was so small. New Lines barely gave them anything to work with as they changed everything half way through the production process. The result was GW staff did not find out what most of it was until the film came out. Plus side is the initial projects are to fill the gaps.

Manchu (Mod) auf Dakkadakka:

More from Facebook:

Sourcebooks are being re-printed in three weeks
New Sourcebook (Most likely BoFA) is being released by the end of the Calendar year
Out of Production models will be released again in Forgeworld Resin
Due to the cost of Forgeworld resin, terrain kits will no longer be sold and instead replaced with battle boards (possibly)
Dain (Not on Pig) was shown and apparently looks better than anything we have ever seen. No pictures were taken to show us.
Adam Troke has is guaranteed to work on Middle Earth SBG for Four Years!! That is Four more years of models released
No mention of a new rulebook but there not be an Age of Sigmar type deal. My guess is that it will be Weapons Rules and Monster rules that will get tweaked. Game is said to largely stay the same.
New Game will be called Middle Earth SBG
The New game will start to go into the Lord of the Rings Appendices and Hobbit Appendices for material after the BoFA is done​

​

Bin für einen eigenen Gerüchte-Sammelthread.

More from Facebook:
More News from more sources!!:
1) A Box Game like the Horus Heresy WILL NOT happen for Lord of the Rings
2) A New starter set will come out for Middle Earth SBG
3) A New Hardback rule book will come out
4) Osgiliath Ruins are coming back. The Laketown Buildings are not
4) New models will come in boxes, not blisters of 3

Manchu (MOD) auf Dakkadakka:

Long-awaited GBHL vid on Mr. Troke's presentation.

Highlights -

- GW's license covers the main body of the text of LotR and Hobbit but not the appendices to LotR - very surprising

- in addition to a manager and writer, there are three full-time model designers now working on the line

- new models will certainly be released by October

- existing LotR models (I guess the metal and FC ones) will go to FW

- James does not mention Dain by name for some reason ... frustrating secrecy - is this GW's fault or just James?

Slinky auf Dakkadakka:

Saw this in the Forge World thread:

We can also announce that Games Workshop’s newly appointed Middle-earth team will be showcasing their projects at Warhammer Fest.

AND you'll get First Access to formerly out-of- production products like all five The Lord of The Rings TM Sourcebooks and several absent Citadel miniatures! We're revealing more soon...

 

[Lordkane]

GW auf Facebook:

You asked, and we have answered! For months, hobbyists eager to get their claws on the Sourcebooks for The Lord of The Rings, have clamoured for their return. At Warhammer Fest, all five Sourcebooks will be available to buy on the day.


It could be months before they fight their way back onto the Games Workshop webstore, however… so if you want to get your hands on a copy of any of these as soon as possible, get over to the Sales stands and claim the precious for yourself!


The new Middle-earth team at Games Workshop is proud to announce that the first out-of-production miniatures from The Lord of the Rings range to return will be available first at Warhammer Fest!
Come to the Sales stands on the day where you’ll find Boromir of the White Tower, Gothmog the Lieutenant of Morgul, Saruman and Grima and the classic Scouring of the Shire boxed set. All of these kits will eventually find their way back onto the Citadel website… but if you want them right away, Warhammer Fest is your first chance.

Adam Troke auf Facebook:

They will all be cast in the material they were last available in. I believe this means Boromir, Gothmog and Saruman & Grima will be Citadel Finecast. The Scouring of the Shire will be metal…

 

[Armarnis]

Interessant das sie die in metall und feinkäse wiederbringen... hätte gedacht diese zeiten wären endlich vorbei
