Yeah, I feel like there's still quite a bit of stuff that's actually covered in some supplements that are still quite underutilized. Khand being one for sure. I don't feel we need additional profiles for Eorl themed army though. I'd be very interested in some War of the Ring era stuff though that have been missed! I'd like to see some Black Numenorean characters beyond just Mouth of Sauron, I'd like Black Numenorean Spearman too! Fiefdoms are missing a few key characters, but the big one really is Hirluin, and along with him, the Riders of Pinnath Gelin. The big piece of Gondor that we are missing though, are some proper Legendary Legions! Gondor at War gave almost every faction featured in it an amazing Legendary Legion (minus Easterlings and Corsairs), but what did Gondor get? Nothing particularly awesome, unfortunately. Men of the West just does not cut it, those special rules are tragically awful. Rohan has some epic ones from War in Rohan, and then they get Riders of Theoden from Gondor at War. I think getting a Legendary Legion featuring Boromir and Faramir would be amazing, or one featuring Gandalf leading the defense of Minas Tirith, Imrahil and other Gondorian lords sallying forth from the city to aid Eomer (which would restrict Eomer and Rohirrim taken in that list to be on foot naturally), Aragorn's arrival to the Pelennor with a properly sorted list (adding Warriors of Minas Tirith, Knights, and Clansmen to the Grey Company?), possibly another Gondor Legendary Legion themed around Aragorn being the new King? Sadly, I doubt any of this will happen anytime soon. Gondor at War was their chance to spice up Gondor some. They added some amazing profiles for Minas Tirith, and I love those heroes. Just no really impressive Legendary Legions

Men of Carn Dum and expanding Arnor would probably be my favorite of the ideas. The rise of the Witch-King is one of the more interesting bits of lore to me and I'd like to see it given more attention. Last Alliance or any Dwarf support would also be fine.

So much could be done with Arnor. Sub-factions for Arthedain and Cardolan with a specific troop type and new heroes (including a heavy hitter... something the army seriously lacks). A Legendary Legion that teams Arnor with the High-elves riding down the witch-king after the Battle of Fornost. Perhaps a new Ranger hero. I want to see this so badly!

If it is the Last Alliance, outside of the obvious that is Gil-galad, Elendil and Anarion, I’d love to see a release of Oropher and Amdir. They could even call it “Lords of the Woodland Realms.” They don’t even need to create new warrior models, Amdir will lead Galadhrim elves, Oropher will lead Mirkwood elves, and they can even tweak Thranduil’s profile to make him “Prince of the Woodland Realm”. I’d like to see a combination of book scenarios and movie scenarios, like how we saw with the scenarios for the Black Gate.

Erebor during LotR and Mirkwood during LotR were somewhat addressed in the Defense of the North supplement. That's probably all we're going to get. If you want to play War of the Ring-era Erebor, you just run Erebor Reclaimed with Old King Dain.

I think you're right about the last alliance being the most likely to be introduced, but a "War in Arnor" could lead to a new range of models, not only for Arnor united but also new models and characters from the three successors kingdoms of Cardolan, Rhudaur and Arthedain. Awesome content!!

Re a few comments on the audio, potentially a settings issue with the rode mic, not sure of model but sometimes they default to mono instead of stereo when recording

I hope it's more Rohan! More horses wooo! 😂 Really though some angmar/arnor stuff would be sweet. Loving the new mics and your quality is always improving even on these non batrep videos! I did notice your voice audio is only coming out of the left side though, just wanted to let you know in case that somehow slipped by you. My lapels also do the same thing, if you use premiere pro like I do (I think I remember you using that in your week long vlog) just use the fill right with left audio effect on the VO track and you'll be golden! Cheers man!

My heart wants a Shadow & Flame supplement. For the same reason, I want some additions to make dwarfs stronger. But I would love to build an Arnor army if options were expanded. Also, a numenorian with more options would be exciting.

Jay mentioned about hill trolls at nova 2022, someone also came up to one of the LVO players and said something about it being arnor angmar. Just a thought! Keep up with the great videos!

It should be Last Alliance. Priority no. 1: Gil-Galad plastic kit (ftd. & mtd.) Priority no. 2: Anarion Priority no. 3: rivendell kingsguard and an elite warrior (2 wounds, Fight 5) for numenor

Quite agree with your guess. I totally would love a *Last Alliance* supplement that developes Numenor (hopefully as they did with Dunland or Easterlings) and some nice character for Barad Dur and tweek to Sauron to make that list more competitive ( Sauron is barely seen in torunaments) 2/ Arnor and Angmar would be super cool as well. 3/ Khazad Dum needs something as well, but Moria is very developed...

Heck yeah! I'm all for Khazad-Dum release and updates! Hope they do!

I am guessing something in Last Alliance era as they made new sculpts of Elrond and Glorfindell and stated a few times that the banner bearer was Gil Galads. So it just has to follow that line otherwise those loose sculpts did not make any sense. So maybe a last alliance battlehost with new sculpts of Elendil and Gil Galad en their warriors !!

I hope you’re right and we do see the Last Alliance get some attention. I would like to see the high elves and Numenoreans available in separate but complete sets with archers, swordsmen, and spearmen like the Galadhrim elves are. Fielding high elves or Numenoreans is currently more expensive than it ought to be because you’ve got to get metal or resin packs to give elves spears or Numenoreans bows or spears.

The last alliance would have so much potential if they added in the actual lore. Like the dwarfs present there and also Thranduil was alive at the time (not sure he participated), as well as the more expanded troops on the evil side which included far more than just orcs. That would be awesome.

Last Alliance would be my first choice too, I might be in the minority but i liked Rings of Power so i would not be sad with that. Or if they wanted to go Niche - some of armies the Silmarillion would be cool, Morgoth similar to Smaug

As much as Numenor needs some serious love, I'm a sucker for all things Northern Kingdom. I'd love to see sub-factions of Arnor arrive in the form of Arthedain and Cardolan lists, with heroes and troop types specific to both. More chiefs and kings Arnor could provide heavier hitters to the Northern faction. In addition, Ranger heroes would be a nice option to have. An elite warrior and a cavalry option would be obvious. Expanded alliance options with the likes of the High-elves would be prudent. A legendary legion that unites the Arthedanians led by Earnur with a host of High-elves lead by glorfindel when they chased off the witch-king at the Battle of Fornost would make perfect sense. For Angmar, the men of Rhudaur are an obvious addition, along with a hero or two to lead them. Were-wolves were also present in that area and could be added to the Angmarian bestiary.

I would LOVE a buff to my personal favourite, closest to my heart by a long shot (followed by isengard) *Khazaddum* . They need it desperatly. Battle of the Last alliance would also be my guess.

I do think something related to rohan, harad and corsairs following the lore of the animation movie coming out this year.

@Dryan91

5 ай бұрын

What do harad and corsairs have to do with the movie coming out?

Top of my list to see would be Last Alliance and fall of Arnor supplement. Most likely we will see either of those two, or a tie in to War of the Rohirrim. Rings of power stuff may come, but not until later down the line, and it might depend how successful later seasons of the show are. If you look at recent releases and made to orders, all three of those options make sense (Rohan, armored elves, and some old orc/angmar models). I just hope whatever they do, they devote some time to making the legions and new profiles good, and if they are mainly going off the movies, buff the legions so that they make up for that (no horses in last alliance legion for example). I also hope they introduce buffs to combat some glaring weaknesses for big heros, so the legion actually plays like in the lore (Gil galads magic weakness). For the arnor stuff, I hope they don’t have too narrow a focus, and include some diversity in legions, like one that includes Rivendell for defeating the witch king at the end of the war. Also, I think they will need to introduce a fair amount of profiles for a last alliance book, otherwise it may be difficult to come up with unique legions for that supplement beyond just the last battle from the movie. Hopefully they delve at least a bit into the book lore, I just don’t think there will be enough content otherwise.

Number 5 seems most likely. A Last Alliance LL is something thats seems like it should exist already and wouldn't be surprising too.

Numenorian knights would be a nice addition to their list, maybe some pikemen too since Numenor has no native spear support currently. I just hope we get more models like Gil-galad who have a horse option but dont have a on horse model. Also I'd love to see more of the common picked hero and elite troop options come to plastic since I feel that keeps a lot of people out of the game like with Heresy.

If there were a last alliance legendary legion they probably wouldn't include dwarves, but I bet they give the new legion historic allies with Khazad-dûm to allow people to run Tolkien original idea of "all creatures were present"

I think it will be a Helms Deep or Black Gate expansion, keeping the theme of big battles (Pelennor and Osgiliath so far). Black Gate allows them to introduce a new plastic Elessar, Troll Chieftain, Mouth of Sauron, etc. Helms Deep allows them to introduce a new Haldir, new plastic Uruk-hai leader, plastic crossbow uruks maybe. Might also be why they are doing a Rohan made-to-order next.

@ConquestCreations

Thanks for the comment, Helm's Deep was pretty covered in the War in Rohan supplement where we got the defenders of Helm's Deep and the Assault on Helms Deep Legendary legions so I would be surprised if they revisited that before they made the full lap around Middle Earth

They haven't released a new plastic army sprue for SBG since the ones that they produced for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (Warriors of Dale, Mirkwood Palace Guard, Mirkwood Rangers, Hunter Orcs and Hunter Orcs of Fell Wargs). There were zero plastic troops released with the Battle of the Five Armies, as GW seems to have really given up on the game by that time. That still makes building a Dale, Laketown or Gundabad army among the most expensive. The current Last Alliance plastics are so out of date, it's criminal that they haven't been re-done and the army added to with new troop types and models. Maybe in the vein of the plastic Elrond kit, how about an Isildur and Elendil box or a Numenorean Command box with a Captain, Standard Bearer, and Musician? Crazy dream probably! One thing that no one has mentioned is that Isildur had 4 sons, 3 of which were adults that died with him at the Battle of the Gladden Fields: Elendur, Aratan, and Ciryon. Profiles and models for all three of them could be created also. Since the focus seems to be on making models for heroes, that might be something they would do.

I'd love a supplement focused on the older dwarf sculpt, they were always one of my favourite ranges and I'd love a reason to actually get into them. I have tried theorising a ranger based list themed around Gimli becoming Lord of the Glittering Caves in some kind of alliance with unmounted Rohan, and I think that would make for a potentially interesting LL. It also still annoys me there's no dwarf ranger captain so that'd be neat. Still, I'm guessing The Last Alliance is most likely. And boy if that somehow includes new plastic elves I finally have a reason to get that gorgeous new Glorfindel so I'd be super down for that. I'd also like to see more Battlehosts. We'd need a lot more plastics for that to happen, but it'd be super cool to have even more easy ways to start a collection.

I think they might merge Numenor and Arnor into a new army/ legendary legion called 'The realms in Exile''. During the time of Elendil, Numenor was sunk beneath the sea and he escaped with his sons and other numenoreans who where faithful to the Valar. Elendil founded both kingdoms and was the leader of Arnor. His sons, Isildur & Anarion, ruled Gondor together. They could add named characters like Anarion, cavalry troops, the predecessors of the dunedain & rangers of the north and some elite troop like the predecessors of the guards of the fountain court to the troops of this combined army, or spread them between the army lists of Numenor and Arnor. Rivendell as a faction is already really fleshed out, especially considering all their great allying options, so i dont think they will pay much attention to them.

It would be nice if a last Alliance supplement would give an option to play movie last Alliance and book last Alliance. Where in the book last Alliance you get to include some khazad dwarf warriors and khazad guards and maybe a new forefather of Durin (if my memory serves right the fall of khazad dum is after the last Alliance and it would be a different Durin). It's quite interesting to see what the last Alliance LL will be though because you want it to be something that's playable at under 1000 points which would be necessary for all 4 central characters and some troops

Nice overview. I saw in another video someone from Games Workshop mention Khazard-Dum and The Last Alliance as possible places to go next (search KZread for "Rob Alderman, Middle-earth Brand Manager" and skip to 21min 45sec). Khazard-Dum lack the ability to do a spike of damage in one trun often needed to kill an enemy hero/monster, as they have no knockdown or magic, and other few tricks of that sort. So I would like them to have a heroes who could do a bit of that. Maybe Dwarfs who are ranger of the north style independent heroes, but with Dwarf stats and heroic strike, and maybe a special rule to give them big stuff killing potential in the right situation.

I'm just glad they have plans. I was getting pretty worried what with all the LotR rights changing hands of late. I'd be happy with any of your suggestions. I don't see them doing rings of power and don't know whether that makes last alliance more or less likely. A full book on the hobbit scenarios would be my top pick. I'd love quest of erebor and battle of the five armies to each be their own book though. That would round out the material in the books and films, and put them in a good place to expand into other material like Arnor. I don't expect a one to one remake of any of the old books though.

Arnor is already a ally with kd in sbg, and I'm sure the timelines are close enough to work in something for balin's expedition. Also, last alliance would be easy to make up whatever legendary legion as long as the faction was doing something around that time. Leaves a lot of opportunites for GW to be creative.

Now we know theyre doing arnor, what doyou think are the chances we see updated last alliance afterwards? I know they dont exactly release mesbg stuff fast, so should i just expect the arnor campaign related book this year?

I hope one of the 4 highest ranking you showed :) War in the south have been mentioned in the comments and have tons of potential. War in the east have even more potential like blue wizard, more Varigas of Khan, other dwarf factions(these was more evil if my Middle earth is correct).

I'd love to see rugged Arnor veterans, cavalry, kings guard, new heroes and actual Arnor rangers that are not just Rangers of Gondor with a different colour sceme.

Thanks for the comment! I have seen talk about the War of the Rohirrim. I head that it is planned to be in December of 2024 and I reckon that this supplement will come out before then. War of the Rohirim is a tricky one because there is already so much Rohan related releases for the game. They have by far the most legendary legions and new miniatures so I would prefer to see other factions developed more before they revisit Rohan.

You can build Moria lists with Lots of archers.

I think Angmar should focus more on undead troops and hero/lord options, with some evil men from Carn Dum and Rhudaur added in for more elite options. If they took inspiration from the wider media for LOTR and added in evil dwarves (LOTRO), angmarim cultists (LOTRO) and a dark numenorean character (War in the North) that would be awesome as well.

Yeah this would be awesome. I am a massive fan of War in the Nr=orth. Getting Agandaur would be an awesome inclusion

this would be DOPE.

I so want a last alliance LL. The hero's are sweet and so thematic. I want it so bad

Barad dur LL could be just super limited so not ringwraiths or other named characters (bar any new ones for this supplement, maybe?) But some jazzed rules, orca within 15" of sauron gain fearless or something like that. A different way to play ia always good.

I can definetly imagine them doing this for Barad-Dur. It would be really cool to see how many buffs you could stack onto orcs

Quick comment about the audio. Your microphone input is only coming out the left channel. Which makes me think you’ve recorded in mono but in your editor it’s sitting in a stereo track but the audio isn’t sent to both channels. Slightly off putting when listening on head phones! Thought I would give you a friendly heads up :)

Jacob, I think something is still wrong with the Audio (stereo). I can hear you in my left ear only, last video was the right ear only.

Seriously thank you so much for the comment, without your comment I wouldn't realise there was a problem. I am not sure what the source of the problem is but for the next video it will be fixed!

I can't believe it's not another diorama!

Maybe its a supplement about dioramas!

Thanks for the video! But you should duplicate audio for the right side.

The Barrel Bombur and the Santa Balin 😅

Audio is only out of my left ear?

If anything I’d like to see a last alliance book. Would give the numanorians some better stats I hope. There fine but in todays game of how strong most of other stuff is they just wont compete. It would be cool if they got better range weapons as man bows suck as it is and higher defence or at least made them 2 points cheaper. Would be cool if they got synergy either can mix and match elves and men to keep your f5 spears on s4 men. Or something like orcs/uruks get bonus for fighting together. Id assume the heros would get a banner effect or at least give troops like a fearless bubble or something since they literally went to fight the basest of the bad (well sort of)

Yeah, it's always been so ridiculous that the survivors of laketown have the same defense as numenorean warriors

Just implement everything all in except for rings of power

I think the Last Alliance is such a good shout that it's idiotic for GW to have not released it sooner. I have argued for a long time about this being a perfect setting for an expansion. And whilst you said a Rings of Power based setting being unlikely, this is the Rings of Power based expansion, only in the aesthetics of the Jackson Trilogy. It could have been a tie in to the TV show without needing the license. Tap into that market with similar models, but still within the confides of the Jackson film license. Anyway I agree with everything. Sauron needs a new model. One towering over the rest of his army. One made in a dynamic pose made of plastic. And the alliance needs a new model for Isildur, Elendil and Gil Galad. In fact, I am so impressed with the job that they did on Elrond with the Banner Bearer, that I have ever since then been hoping for Gil Galad, on horse and off, with a High Elf War Horn Blower. These two models would be a perfect match for one another and effectively, the two boxes would form a command squad. And the same can be done with Isildur and Elendil. Both on foot and horse, each with a Numenor Banner or Horn. I will take this whole idea a step further though. Heck, i'll take it 2 steps further. GW seems to have an obsession with prequels at the moment. Bringing Horus Heresy into the mainstream with a huge plastic box set, not once, but twice with Legion Imperialis. And of course, bringing Old World back. What if, they use this supplement to reinvigorate the MESBG with a prequel themed box set and really hammer home that this supplement isn't a new version of the game or a new game all together, but is something that is ideally played on its own. Sauron is afterall not in the Third Age Mordor army. Taking Gil Galad in a rivendell army with Third Age elves such as Arwen makes alliances difficult. And I believe Numenor has little to no allies due to not surviving to the War of the Ring/ becoming Gondor. They are clearly armies from a different age and should be treated as such. So what if this supplement expands the 2nd age setting enough that you can have multiple factions set in the 2nd age and have 2nd age specific fights. I'm thinking huge expansions to Rivendell and Numenor on the hero side and Barad Dur and the new faction of a 2nd age Easterling army. I'm really starting to step into the realms of unbelievability, but it would be awesome and could be a huge money maker for GW. Add some more primitive looking, 3000 year old easterlings to side with Barad Dur and create new Troops, Cavalry and Heroes for it. And then maybe, if the budget is big enough, or as another supplement down the line, maybe even add more faction like a 2nd age Dwarf army. But this prequel spin off game that isn't strictly a spin off game could add some new fresh armies and awesome new models to a separate setting, big enough to create attention. And as mentioned, i can see it having a huge box set with 4 armies in it. Probably unlikely to happen, but imagine if it did. Huge battles in the 2nd age. Huge battles with grand Alliances which are fitting to the expansions name. 2nd age Elves, Men and Dwarves facing down Sauron and his forces of evil. And drag whatever you like in to really bolster the numbers. Trolls, Wargs, Fell Beasts, the Nazgul. Whatever works in the second age.

Would like them to bring back arnor a very niche army but very cool thematic army the green and silver they looked great always wanted one

Good stuff as usual, but the sound is so low you can hardly hear it.

You got a new Mic! High 5 bud!

Great video thanks, but its driving me crazy that i can only hear your voice in left speaker lol

No matter what the new supplement will be about i just want them to add grand army of the east legendary legion (khamul, amdur, khandish king) - make amdur great again

You are missing: War of the Rohirrim. With the MTOs coming up, it is likely that they will replace or extend Rohan even more. I would bet money on it, that it has something to do with Rohan. Everyone loves Rohan anyway ❤️

War of the Rohirrim is an anime style movie so the aesthetic won’t fit with the existing range! So I believe nothing will come from the new film

Last alliance or iron hill dwarves in plastic would be my hope

I don't reckon we will ever see Iron Hills in plastic but I reckon with the last alliance we will see new plastic High Elves. We know that Games Workshop already has them sculpted because of the banner bearer that comes with Elrond. Getting a whole army as nice as that model would be incredible

Dont make fun of Gamling. Rohan often strugles to contain high fight good strenght threats and he can help contain those with his Defence. Also it really helps that he brings along March, togehter wis his 3 Might he is quite versatile and has benn a sucessful staple of my 400-600 pts Rohan.

Hi Jake, thanks for the update. It whets the appetite!

I would much rather no new profiles or supplements and rather go back through a update the sculpts on almost the entire range! Especially the very old plastic sprues

Thanks for the comment, I want a few more supplements to fill out Middle Earth and then rather than bloating the game I would love for them to just improve and re-release old models

I would love a new setting using the rules. Just with no warp in it as all. THey have three setting that are independent of each other with the warp. Also have the setting allow children stories.

I’d just really like a legendary legion using Rivendell or Lothlorien elves tbh

Hey man, there are already two, Rivendell has elves in men of the west AND the Grey Company. Don't get greedy. Obviously it's another Rohan legion that we need. /s

Me too i have only 3 soliders of arnor 😅

Numenor should have steel bowmen, and they should also be able to take Haradrim and Easterlings as allies to represent their history of colonialization of Middle Earth.

I'm just about to buy into this game as my first real miniatures game. I've heard rumors of more announcements coming this year. Do you think it should be a new starter set? Should I wait till July or just buy in now?

@ConquestCreations

Welcome to Middle Earth! The announcements coming this year are all about the Fall of Arnor which is just another expansion so it wont change anything big it will just add a handful of models. I think the odds of a new starter set any time soon are very unlikely so now is just as good of a time as any! The great thing about the game is that over the 23 years that the rules have been out they are very similar to the original with a few improvements.

​@@ConquestCreations awesome thanks. Do you stand by the latest 2 player starter as the best entry? I don't have anyone to play with, so getting that gives me 2 armies and terrain plus rules etc.. Otherwise my lgs just has the Gandalf battlehost.

The Battle of Osgiliath is good because you get some scenery and the rulebook. It will make it easy to find people to play with if you can give them some intro games. For the Mordor side if you just add a box of heros (Either the command pack or Zagdush and Goroth) you will have a playable 600 point army. For the good side you will need to add a little bit more than one box of heroes to create a full army, but the battle host would be a perfect addition.

This is a good 600 point army for the Mordor side using the Army of Gothmog made from the Battle of Ogiliath and the box of Morranon commanders. (It won't be super optimized but is a great starting point) 600 points | 28 models The Army of Gothmog Gothmog, Lieutenant of Sauron: Shield, Warg 5x Morannon Orc: Shield 5x Morannon Orc: Shield, Spear 1x Mordor Troll 1x Morannon Orc: Banner, Shield, Spear 1x Orc Drummer Orc Shaman: 3x Morannon Orc: Shield, Spear 3x Morannon Orc: Shield Morannon Orc Captain: Two-handed weapon 4x Morannon Orc: Shield 2x Morannon Orc: Shield, Spear Here is a 600 point army made from the Battle of Osgiliath box plus the Gondor Battlehost, you will have plenty of left over models so could easily make a bigger army. 595 points | 26 models Minas Tirith Gandalf the White: Shadowfax (240) 4x Knight of Minas Tirith: Shield (56) 4x Warrior of Minas Tirith: Shield (32) 4x Warrior of Minas Tirith: Shield, Spear (36) Faramir, Captain of Gondor: Bow (85) 3x Ranger of Gondor: Spear (27) 3x Warrior of Minas Tirith: Shield (24) Madril, Captain of Ithilien: (55) 5x Ranger of Gondor (40)
