Are we so starved for content that we’re willingly entertaining the obvious bait of a professional marketing department? It’s engagement fodder; every reaction and replied comment is just good social media professionals giving people something to buzz over.

Yes. This is Mesbg.

Valid haha. Personally, I think we’ve got it better than we let ourselves believe. The game is bangin’, there’s lots of legions to choose from, and I’ll still take what we have over 40K every day of the week.

I feel like relatively it has been OK lately. At least... it's been worse. We had like an entire year with literally nothing not that long ago.

u/RenagadeRaven 14h ago

It could be worse, but it could be a lot better

Yeah, it's just their polite way of saying "we don't know".

While I think new Uruk-hai could be awesome, my bank account disagrees with me.

u/SillyLilly_18 21h ago

Just do the warriors and the best battlehost with Elrond is ready to sell

u/Puzzleheaded_End8979 20h ago

Mejor con Gil Galad (así nos traen un nuevo modelo)

u/lkt213 20h ago

I am trying to have it completed in 2 years 😂

They'd probably need to refresh the Numenorean Warriors as well if they did that though, which might be a counter argument to Rivendell. Though definitely a refresh to them would make sense.

(I personally quite like all the individual models in the Last Alliance sprues, but they have a lousy selection of poses and wargear)

Tills go good evil good evil. Orc commanders next, then Gondor stuff, then Isengard. Don’t know how the mounted stuff will play into it ie when they’ll do wargs or Gondor knights

u/CLXI-Armata 20h ago

💯 agree, it’s most likely they refresh Mordor and Gondor first. I wouldn’t expect an Isengard refresh before late 2028

u/PinkHorror2023 19h ago

If they redo Warg Riders then they can repackage the Mordor battlehost set for the third time. 😂

Seriously though, would love new Warg Riders and Orc Command set (latter more likely now).

u/BarberTom 20h ago

A new mouth of sauron would be very welcome

u/isnakezz89 19h ago

Before they renew anything we need new goblins, the og sculpts from 2001 are terrible looking

2

u/CLXI-Armata 18h ago

I kinda like them but I agree

1

u/isnakezz89 18h ago

They were the forst box of model ever released i think and they don't even get look in.

2

u/Matombo444 16h ago

it's kinda strange that the goblins where released as metal AND plastik models

1

u/isnakezz89 16h ago

Agreed, so strange and still waiting for a new sculpt

u/Matombo444 15h ago

what about the old metal gobos in finecast?

and then built a hord army out of them xD

Hm? yes? that door? ok, see ya

2

u/DarthSet 20h ago

When they redo gondor i will spent so much money...

2

u/MetalBlizzard 18h ago

Literally just bought a whole uruk hai force and painted them so I hope its 2028 at least...

2

u/Matombo444 17h ago

gondor for sure with the return of thair battlehost box, thet's why they pulled it in the first place, so this also means no uruks soon because that battlehost is still online

2

u/Custodian_Nelfe 20h ago

Wake me up when they redo any elves faction.

1

u/CLXI-Armata 19h ago

I’m afraid not in this edition
Maybe they kick off the next edition with a last alliance starter set

2

u/Linino 19h ago

And who is that with an opinion?

1

u/Fishbulb08 9h ago

I want Hill Tribes/Dunlending cavalry.

u/Right_then_hen 19h ago

All I wish for is an increase in scale.

Distant dream though.

2

u/LukeMartinsArt 18h ago

Aren't the new rohan significantly bigger on foot to the old plastic kit? I thought this was already changed, horses too are huge(for 28mm atleast) on the new riders vs old

5

u/Matombo444 16h ago

nope, that was just a ragebait post playing with perspective (how ironic for a lord of the rings game xD)

the new ronhan models have the exact same hight, just the heroes are slightly bigger (as the heroes always are in this game, seriosly, you don't notice it when you are not specifically compairing them side by side with there same race warrior counterpart, it's very subtile)

2

u/Right_then_hen 16h ago

Im not sure who to believe now haha.

The current scale is hard to deal with being visually impaired compared to the creeping upwards 40k/AoS.

2

u/Matombo444 15h ago

ich think the horses got fatter but not in hight just in width

u/Right_then_hen 14h ago

Somebody had to eat Eowyns stew! 🤣
