Why there's hope for Lord of the Rings Warhammer after GW's 'Legacy' Cull - MESBG Vlog

1st commem!

What’s anoyed me is since starting back up in 2020 camels were impossible to get along with mumak war leader. When I finally had the money to actually buy them and finally get hold of them (after checking weekly for over a year for the war leader) I’d fell off with the game a little and now I won’t even get to build them let alone play them. Just sucks really

But Harry why look for hope when we can just be unremittingly negative? Are you telling me that the idea isn't to fend off any new players with our salty salty tears?

I might have to pick up that book too.

Loved the t-shirt BTW. I've got the Visual Companion but not going to delve too much into it just yet. And I remain hopeful too.

Shout out to Lincoln! I went to Uni there! Great little city.

Book is written by Chris smith so we know it’s going to be good! Original writer of the LOTR weapons and warfare

Hope is kindled. My khand are exclusively wainriders now

is this cambridge or reading

This is exactly what I was thinking. It's going to be really hard to maintain the ranges of Khand, Dunland and Far Harad if new stuff appears in the movie similarly named or themed.

The issue could be big like rights 'we won't licence this movie whilst you continue to sell these things', or it could be business 'its going to be harder to sell 2 sets of aestetics for the same stuff, lets cull and refresh', or it could simply be practical, 'we really want to release stuff themed directly with the new movie but we don't have the capacity to sell so many products, so lets cull competing product lines and double down with WotR (I hate this acronym btw, but its very popular).

I think this should give people hope that the cull wasn't for 'nothing', atleast for these armies, still have no idea why Erestor has to go! package him with Gildor and keep more people happy! 🤣🤣

Watch us get the snow trolls before the hill trolls 🙄😂

just a fools cope

i dont understand why people are so worked up. just use the models as proxies. except for chariots. chariots are effd.

My suspicion was that most of the legacy stuff was canned due to new in-universe designs coming out

So far we have gotten new heroes that look like they fit in better with aos then mesbg. And poor communication from GW. Personally i think this will go the way of the hobbit movies... Still I'm hopeful about the normal warrior boxes eventually getting an long overdue upgrade. If the new rohan warriors sell wel.

I have bought a Khand Army like 4 month ago. Took me weeks to remove all mold lines... I really feel gutted...
Lets hope that Wainriders get Chariots and the riders fit. If not.... I dont know.... Leaves a really bitter taste. Not the first time GW has done that in a game I play....

It never worries me what miniatures or what new editions of the rules currently exists, because I wrote my own middle earth rules 20 years ago and have never looked back, and I just update them, add new rule bits here and there when I needed to (or if I just want to add some new miniature types to my collection). I knew back then when the GW rules came out two decades ago, that they`d change things, delete things, and all that bad stuff they always do.. which is why I went my own route from the very start :-)

I think you're absolutely right, the "culling" was a bit more than expected, especially some of the newer models.
But if it's for the sake of a new range, and renewed expansion then so be it.

So refreshing to see a positive take on the changes that are coming. I'm excited to see what will come and am very hopeful that it brings more positives that negatives for new and old players.

Your'e right that the 'locations' look great, but the characters look awful, in costumes that would never have been designed for 'real world' use in Middle Earth/on a film set and replicating the visual language of the LotR movies. And GW will mostly be making minis of those characters...
