Input on Next Units

What units do you guys think Games-workshop are going add next as a plastic box set (core warriors) or new units in general. They've added the Army of the Dead, Galadhrim Warriors and Knights to the list.

Also, do you guys think that GW will ever break up the Warriors of the Last Alliance into a High Elves box set (w/ elves with spears) and a Numenor box set (w/ Numenor with spears and bows). I hope they do sometime soon.

i think they could bring out a warriors of pelenor box set or hobbits even.

i hope they do split the elves/men of numenor because i have wanted a high elf army but i dont want the men that come with it and for the cost of the box for only 12 elfs at the moment.. agree'd?

It was a single box.

What would the box that you want contain? There are already boxes of the warriors that fougth at the Pellenor Fields.

the usual 24 warriors in a box and sorry but i meant knights of pelenor, the guys on foot swords and shields...

my terminology isnt great i know

Personally, I'd like to see a Mordor Uruk-Hai box set, and a Rohan Royal Guard box set.

And if Citadel Guard/Fountain Guard get merged, a box set for them.

An Elven elite box set.

I'd really enjoy plastic Dunlendings, and Barbarians of Carn-Dum. I'd also enjoy plastic Warriors of Arnor, though I emailed GW and they said that it isn't in there plans at the moment.

Also would like Helm Hammerhand and Helm's Guard.

PLastic Dunlendings would be nice!

Can you email gw and ask if things are planned to be released?

stickyworm · **Posted:** Sun Jul 26, 2009 12:09 pm

With WOTR released, I imagine GW will be moving a lot of the metal models into plastic sets that will numerically match the movement trays.

With that in mind, many of the blister packs will be extremely impractical, like the army of the undead, without a plastic set to form a company. Hence they released a plastic set, otherwise a WOTR army of the undead would be in the hundreds of dollars.

I would expect then, knights of dol amroth, osgiliath veterans and other 3 pack elites that are more common units to be included in larger packs.

For instance, to field Denethor:
CDN $
Denethor: $16
Beregond: $16
Osgiliath vets: $16 x 2
Total $64

Just to field an unpredictable liability with 0 courage or to be in theme. GW will have to either allow more variations or release a plastic set to overcome circumstances like these, or I will be converting a lot of troops. (I happen to enjoy playing Denethor)

However to bolster the company as it is quite vulnerable it will take another 3 blister packs, making another $54.

a list of stuff which took me a long time to read through

Its very easy to say how how elites should all be made plastic. but then they can only basically have heroes in metal. That in itself is fine i guess, despite the fact the quality casts will be weaker for your elites. However, from GW's point of view, they want as much profit as possible. They do this through the fact you buy lots and lots of expenseive 3 man blisters.

Now i know this is only a thread on what we would like to see, but its not gonna happen :roll:

Hobbits being a must though still :-D
