I think the main concern within the community is around the models leaving the range. The uncertainty surrounding that has stopped my local group from buying anything other than the newest releases and even then not much. I know why they won’t but I wish GW would give us more insight into what is leaving the range so that this paralysis and weak reception to the new models would end. Also the confusion about a 3x3 mat in the new box when the smallest game size is 4x4 too! (Fun fact this is the first game box where both armies have been legal in the current version of the game!)

Great to have more MESBG!! For a wish list I could probably list too many models but for me I think the big 3 Last Alliance factions need all new troop & hero mount and dismount options along with a big new plastic Sauron! I think like you’ve said the core factions from the films are a no brainer, I’d love new Galadhrim and Uruk-hai warriors with some helms deep walls and updated Haldir Aragon would be something I’d love as well. The game really needs new plastic troops so that we can get more new players in because let’s be fair those sculpts without nostalgia don’t hold up to the new 40K & AOS stuff
@minipaintingforyou2 ай бұрын
I started with 40k in 1997 and completely ignored the lotr tabletop when it started. I can pinpoint the exact moment I decided to get into mesbg, tho. I watched and rewatched your epic Star Wars Legion narrative battle reports until KZbin suggested your video painting Theoden. That model, that video made me buy the starter box and sent me down the mesbg rabbit hole 😊

Great news! I started with MESBG. And the answer for the question about the new plastic additions is right here. When I saw the details of the new plastic miniatures I was like: "Do everything in plastic. Just leave the resin sculpts and do even the individual heroes in plastic. You have the detail comparable with the resin ones." I know it's not that simple but over the time I would be grateful if they rework the resin ones. Not because of price (which is too much obviously but that's even for some of their plastic kits) but because of the durability of hard plastic.

When first I saw war-gaming miniatures as a kid, back in 2002-3 I wanted to follow my hearts that always calls to the world of Tolkien... but alas I knew no one who played it, and so I bought High elves for warhammer fantasy, because I knew someone who had models too. I was only years later when I actually played a game, but there was far between games, so I really never learned to play warhammer properly. At some point in 2013-15 I bought some Galadhrim warriors and the free peoples of middle earth book as an impulse... and there they remained, just bought, as I still knew no one (I thought). In 2017 I bought some second hand orcs and last alliance troops because I loved to run lord of the rings PnP and themed miniatures seemed nice. But then Fate finally smiled upon me, as I one day randomly brought the subject up with a long time friend, who without me knowing it, had played SBG in the olden days, loved it and missed it. I IMMEDIATELY jumped at the opportunity and asked for a game and he obliged happily. together we rediscovered the rules and began gaming :) it drew in other players and surprisingly (to us as we were out of synch with anything) the game was relaunched in 2018 and so began the new wave, which we were front runners on in our community because of one random conversation ^_^ Oh and I DEFINITELY want new High elves for my favourite Rivendell army :)

Glad to see this video on the channel (and learning you have two other channels!) I am considering buying this new starter set and I haven't bought any Middle-Earth miniatures from GW since the era of the movie releases. (I was already a GW customer long before that, however. Necromunda was my first GW box set.) Hearing that bit about how the Shade miniature was super-OP until recently does give me pause. I have zero interest in tournament-style play with Middle-Earth. Power-gaming can take a hike; this game is all about narrative afaic. That's what drove me away the first time, as the rules gradually got tweaked until gross combos became possible. This game was at its best with the first three box sets, where it was primarily about recreating epic battles from the books and films for the fun of it. I'm irrationally hopeful that *maybe* GW might put the game somewhere closer to that with this release. That may be baseless hope on my part. TBD. The last box set was pretty expensive... I hope this one is more affordable... but that's also probably a naive hope on my part. lol. Fingers crossed.

Finally bought the Rohan Battle force last year after a friend talked me into it. The new minis look great and I am hoping for plastic kings guard models.

My introduction to GW and their games was in 2004. I saw the mines of moria set on a shelf in my local toy store. My dad bought it for me. Later the same year i discovered a dedicated hobby store with tons of similar but different model boxes and employees that actually seemed to know what they were selling me. One day at the end of 2004 i was in that store looking around in awe (like i always did when i went there), when one employee apearently saw me inspecting a Tau XV-8 Crisis suit box. He came and talked to me (and my dad). He asked if i liked the Tau. Not knowing what he was talking about, he begun to explain 40k to my dad and me. Apearently a new version of the game just came out. Since both my dad and i where very into scifi, the rest is now history. Yes i still play Tau. But without lord of the rings, non of that would have ever happend. (... I just realized it's been 20 years 🥲)
