Forge World previewed a new Starter box that’s coming to Lord of the Rings amongst all the other excitement this morning. Get ready for more value!
Forge World Open is in full swing this morning and they are wasting no time showcasing the models everyone has been waiting for. Come take a first-hand look at new releases this morning.
We have photos from James Martin who is at the event itself, with some great Warhammer Community official product shots sprinkled in as well.
Event Exclusives
People at the Forge World open can buy these items this morning. Take a close look at the prices and be on the lookout for when they arrive for sale on their website hopefully later this summer!
The Cheerleaders that were previewed at Warhammer Fest are finally up for grabs along with Scoria and Jenetia Krole. That’s not even half of all the goodies that are on sale at the event.
New Lord of the Rings Starter Box Set & Contents
The armies feature a whopping 84 Citadel miniatures – including a brand new version of Theoden, King of Rohan on foot and horseback. This model is the first in what will be a range of new plastic characters for the setting.
King Theoden of Rohan alternate models
We can get an idea of the sprue-count for the armies inside the box. Look for this to hit the stores sometime in August this year.
Excitingly enough, Warhammer Community said that there will be a new edition of the rulebook coming inside the box set as well. Could it be a new edition of the game or just a reformatted version of the current rulebook?
After the Battle of Pelennor Fields
Alongside the boxed game will be a book called called Armies of The Lord Of The Rings. This tome will be your guide to the various forces of Good and Evil during the War of the Ring.
On top of that, there are plenty of new Forge World kits on the way to expand your Middle-earth armies, starting with some fabulous new models of Knights of Dol Amroth and some Gondorian and Orc Heroes.
What do you think of the new Lord of the Rings previews? Will you be picking a box up? What are your thoughts on the comment about a new edition of the rulebook? Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
