Thank you for the detailed video! I pre orderd the rohan warriors and now i already have ideas of how to make each warrior a little diffrent 😃 and the film is not something i would enjoy watching so I'm skipping it and all hero models that come with it... or thats what i thought before watching this, i think the heroes in the starter set could be made in some fancy looking captains 😃

I love the box, am building it myself right now. With this edition, I finally took the plunge into MESBG. And I love Rohan, so I bought Theoden and Eomer as well. The scale creep in the heroes is real, I think. Haleth is towering over Theoden. Hama is of same height, but he is supposed to be the little brother. The horses are bigger. Wulf's and the general's horse are supposed to be bigger, but as they are bigger than Haleth's steed, Theodens Horse looks like a pony next to it.

I think that’s tricky because the older plastic heroes needed to stand out next to the smaller plastic troops but the old metal models are bigger. So now they’ve enlarged the new plastic troops a bit the new plastic heroes have to go up a bit. The old metals are still pretty big though. There’s never been a constant scale across the range.

The new plastics to me built and paint into really nice looking models BUT - for a wargaming kit feel like several steps backwords. Poor contact points to bases without lots of pinning work for the tribesman. Very fine weapons that will be easy to catch and break. A very long constructions process. I'm sure with a slight redo of the poses, they could have been simplified and made less of a nightmare/far better for a starter set. To put into perspective, the new resin hero's have half the pieces of a warrior model.

You’re not wrong. I really enjoy the building and the hobby side most but if you want to get up and running quickly and have sturdy models for gaming this probably feels like a step back. For me it’s a step forward but I do think it will get a mixed reception.

I think you have hit the nail on the head by saying it’s a set for adult market. It’s fair to say that GW knew this set was not one for the kids anymore as much as it was back in the original trilogy. It’s more for us older farts who are just itching for some new models and by eck have we got some. Great video Ossie and so glad you got the set to show us and probably one of the best reveal VLOGS out there. 👍🏻

I agree the Numenoreans should have gotten their own army box set with Spearmen and Archers. The Orcs should have more archers (or as many as other box sets). The Corsairs of Umbar would be better if they had a boat. The Arnorian Army should be broken up into Arthedain/Cardolan & Rhudaur

Last year I went for 100pts a week (40k) and just scraped it, this year I went for 50 and I've got a single Immolator to finish and I'll be done. Next year I think I'll pinch part of your idea and go for 366 wounds of models as it's mostly Knights and tanks on my to do list and I'm not sure they'd count as just one model lol

I think your list is pretty good! Personally would bump Uruk-hai and Rangers down to C. Uruk-hai are just too small, and their pikes are so easy to break. The rangers just look uninspired and have way worse outfits/poses compared to some of the metal ranger sculpts. I also think the Galadrim have much better sculpts than you give credit for, and personally I would go A for the infantry and B for the cav. But maybe that's just me!

That’s unpleasant. I disagree. I’ve had six great years of this edition and in that time the team have been reworking all the profiles for a new edition which I really welcome. I’ve been playing this game on and off since it came out in 2001 and it’s the best it’s ever been. It’s not a huge cash grab at all IMO. If you really object to buying the new rules you can find pdfs online I’m sure and play with the models you’ve got. I don’t get it at all.

@@toomanyminis. You must live under a rock then. Look at any other system GW has come out with. It was going great but since everyone has a bunch of models for it already they werent making sales. So they had to do something. They killed off old world because of it, just to bring it back to make more money. They havent cared about Middle earth for years. But once they realize how big it is they start making models and make a whole new update for it. Youre allowed to disagree but again you have to choose to ignore alot of things that have gone on over the years to stand by that.

Why wouldn't they just put all the armies into one hardcover and call it "Armies of Middle Earth"? Its a better title, then all profiles could be better organized. Not to mention all those books are too cumbersome to do anything other than sit on a shelf at home. Theyre more decoration than resource. Im really getting tired of GW charging top dollar for okay sculpts. At this point, I just dont buy new models cause most of the new ones are meh characters or completely made up. GW seems more interested in putting lore characters into legacies, while ridiculous models like dragons and cave drakes are still in the moria army...

I'm pretty sad to see Erestor, Glorfindel (unarmoured) and Gildor Inglorion go into Legacy. Very key characters for Rivendell, plus pretty notable mentions and moments in the book for Glorfindel and esp Gildor. The mounted unarmoured Glorfindel is just as epic in pose IMO as the armoured version. HOWEVER, with the new LOTR film 'The Hunt for Gollum' and Untitled movies, they're perfect opportunities to introduce these characters into the PJ-verse, as we're bound to see some characters from the books yet to be brought onto screen which went amiss in the OG trilogies. The movies will introduce new characters to fill in these gaps too. Gildor Inglorion for example, could make an appearance and a movie-version made available in due time. High chances for Elladan and Elrohir in Hunt for Gollum too.
