Klingt für mich auch so, als hätten die alle Reste zusammengerkratzt. Hab ich persönlich nichts gegen. Wieso sollten sie auf einmal frisch gedruckte Bücher in so einer kleinen Stückzahl haben und sie erst in 6 Monaten wieder rausbringen können. Entweder läuft die Produktion oder nicht? Oder sie haben schon alles fertig, nur das für HdR gerade kein Zeitfenster da ist für einen Release...

Das ist doch schon ein paar Tage alt:
Note: does not contain re-releases, non-miniature products or the miniature range with codes below 2xxx Note: contains only boxes that are currently NOT in mass production, expect release beginning in june 2013 at the earliest, the bulk of the releases for the first movie are done by then

Note: leaked before the announcement of the third movie, unknown if this is accounted for

Note: not every release has to be based on the movie, Games Workshop has released miniatures before that were omitted by PJ, like Glorfindel, Elladan & Elrohir, and so on

The following was posted on the One Ring forum and has some interesting info!

Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game
I`m a massive fan of Tolkien and Middle-Earth and had a long chat with Adam Troke who is so enthusiastic about the SBG. There is a lot planned for the SBG starting with the release of the Hobbit-tome, “There and Back Again”. The proofs have been sent off for approval and it is hoped to release this around December. The book covers all the Hobbit films and includes scenarios for all the key events of the films – based on the extended editions. The book also contains a campaign system for linking the scenarios together as well as profiles for all the units / heroes found within the films. A point that was raised was the power-level of the Hobbit profiles as compared to the Lord of the Rings profiles and Adam confirmed that the profiles have been balanced. One of the most exciting profiles for me is the inclusion of the Nazgûl as found in the Battle of Dol Gûldor! The book also includes rules for running armies of the main forces in the film such as the Iron Hill Dwarves or Gundabad. A new feature that is intended to be used in the revised armies is that by taking a force that is unique, the force will gain a bonus. The example given was that an army from Dale alone will gain a 3+ Shoot value. Dale bowman in a mixed force with Erebor or Lake Town wouldn`t take this bonus.

The previewed models such as Dáin, the Iron Hill Dwarves and the Gundabad Berserkers are all due for release from October to December alongside the Lake Town plastic house. Future plans are possible event-only models or special edition models. Event-only models will feature models that can be bought at GW events rather than through the webstore and represent a special role / pose of the character / unit whereas special edition models represent a limited time release.

Future plans involve a revised set of rules. Adam stated that he is not concerned about massive changes as the rules by themselves are mostly sound. Revisions will include special strikes as these are currently unbalanced and possibly magic. This is planned for next summer and will come under the heading “Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game” to demonstrate that the Hobbit and LOTR are using the same core rues.

At this point there are two planned ways forward which are not fixed in place. One option is to create a “One Book to Rule Them All” that will include the rules and the profiles of all the units, heroes, monsters of Middle-Earth so that everything is in one place. The second option is to release the rules as one book and then release separate source books that will cover the races with the profiles included inside.

Either way, all armies are to be revised in line with the idea stated above with army-specific bonuses. No army is going to be scrapped and all will remain a playable force together with a re-balancing. Army creation may be tweaked but not dramatically. More army options are to be included so for example Rohan may have Théoden`s Hall, Helms Deep, the Western Mark under Éomere and the Eastern Mark under Théodred and the charge of Pellanor Field. Each will play slightly differently to the others

One confirmed area of development are scenario packs that will focus on one event or character. An example was given of the “Ringbearer`s Journey” that would include scenarios, rules etc that follow Frodo from leaving Bag End to the destruction of the Ring. Other possible plans are the War in the North and the Eastern Realms.

Chranos im One Ring Forum

Been at a convention for a couple of days so I have not had the time to reply to all comments.

ok here goes:

- FW resin is more expensive than plastic yes, but vs finecast the quality is better and cheaper.

- Perry twins sculpted a number of concept miniatures for botfa but these were never released or shown. These new miniatures are sculpted in CAD by the new middle earth team (ballista done in the sculptors free time no less because he enjoyed the miniatures immensely)

- Regarding the Chariot and goat riders
Jay Clare (rules writer) and Adam Troke (Project Manager) has a moniker. "is it cool? is it in the movies?

Rules for every concieveable miniature from Desolation of smaug and Battle of the five armies are in the there and back again book which will cost £35 and along with the laketown house kit (£25) will be available for preorder on the GW WEBSITE and FORGE WORLD site on nov 26th with release Dec 3rd

The rules for goats are cool, chance of knockdown but no damage during charge, the characters riding goats in the movie can take them. So Thorin, Dwalin, Fili and Kili plus Iron Hills Captain.

Chariot is a whopping 100 moria goblins with shields worth with the 4 champions of erebor on it but a lot less with normal iron hills dwarves on it.

There are no new pictures of models we have not already seen in the there and back again book. Gundabad stuff, Iron Hills stuff are there but even though everything else has rules additional laketown characters, gundabad troops, etc etc etc they wanted to get the book out first. We will see the TONS of miniatures released during the next 6-8 months before they take on the next big task that is to make the new Middle-earth SBG rulebook.
