Huge MESBG Announcement | Legacies Armies

[@Zarulaian]

I’m so excited about all of the news coming out for MESBG - I’m dying to see the new edition rules and army lists!

[@Competentetyler]

17:46 Good news! Elendil, Gil-Galad, Forlong, Beregond, Faramir, etc. “on horse” did not have their profiles removed like Grima. This means, #1 they are still playable, #2 there is still hope they produce the model.

[@FriendandAlly]

Good call out! "There was never much hope, just a fool's hope" - it is nice to see that some models still have a chance!

[@walkherarms6730]

I saw a post in a thread commenting that Grima wouldn’t have been able to warn Saruman about the weakness of Helms Deep or how they were traveling from Edoras to there without his being able to get to Isengard so fast on horse… seems like a compelling case to me! #JusticeForGrima

[@CaledoniaArmstrong]

I’m wondering whether the legacy models will become so uncompetitive in the new edition based on whatever meta GW is pushing that they’ll become phased out regardless of current popularity… anyway give Elendil a friggin horse!

[@joeyfisher1463]

Interesting for sure! MTG has made some changes as well and some other gaming communities I am a part of. I think this does show engagement in the community and has to be from listening to feedback from the player base which is definitely a good thing!

[@FriendandAlly]

Hopefully! We've heard feedback from some players that some of their main armies are completely cut out now, so we think it is definitely a mixed bag. We are hopeful that this means positive change and expansion in the near future!

[@TuorTheBlessedOfUlmo]

hahahahahahahahahaha "Listening to feedback from the player base".... hahahahahahaha you think GW is listening to the Player base? as literally every MESBG youtuber is not happy with the new editions. and are only acting positive because they dont want their youtube channels to die. GW has not listening to playerfeedback whatsoever they have as usual acted as the omnipotent GW and have thrown these changes at us without so much as whisper. so much so that most of us MESBG didnt even know about the new edition earlier this year. hell people who bought Rise of Angmar models and books the past few months are now having their armies outdated. that shows how much GW cared to listen to player feedback... you absolute clown.

[@TakoyJMB]

Yeah, Gorgoroth has been out of production for a while and is really expensive. I've got a print for one.

[@TakoyJMB]

I also have feral uruk hai!! And Khan!

[@FriendandAlly]

@@TakoyJMB Oof that's a big hit, sorry to hear that! Good thing you have so many other armies to play!

[@FriendandAlly]

That's awesome! Such a cool model, RIP

[@Lifeinthirty2nds]

Could this potentially create opportunities for “Legacy Tournies” or “Ghost Tournies”? Also if certain models go out of production, could that potentially increase their values?

[@FriendandAlly]

It definitely could! Would love to see how that would shake out as the list inevitably grows (I'm looking at you Woses). Hmm it could increase value since they'd be collector's items, though I think that GW replied to a thread on X yesterday saying that some of these models may become made-to-order purchases as one-offs in the future, so I'm not sure how that may impact the desirability of the models (especially if they are not in the new edition/not as competitive in the new meta).

[@Crispian25]

Sad about Razgush since I just started running him, but also he's not in book or movie...

[@TuorTheBlessedOfUlmo]

Grimbold was in both and was removed... whats your point? you are Defending GW's clearly BS decision whilst GW doesnt seem to care

[@emberpowertcg7692]

Was already difficult trying to get freinds into this game after the price of the angmar release but this..oh boy

[@TuorTheBlessedOfUlmo]

New edition looks to be absolute dogshit. made purely to make more money from a new generation with the new LOTR films. 98 profiles removed to legacy... this has reminded me why i hate GW and its fans. they blindly defend any BS move GW. all because you have some stupid affection for a company that's been ripping us off since we were kids.
