Out of the existing models what type of releases would you have prefered (or not prefered for that matter).

For example I would have liked to have seen plastic Mahud box sets and there cavalary in plastic too.
Also I would have liked there to be more Easterling pikemen in the plastic Easterling box. They are trained to fight in a Phalanx so there should be a 2 to 1 ratio of pikemen to swordsmen or at least 1 to 1.

What are your thoughts?

My dream is this two. I want WOR compatible boxes. For example, there should be 8 berserker in a small box. I would be very happy, if there would be huge boxes like the old times. Once I bought a box called host of minas tirith. In that there were 36 minas soldier, 12 ranger, 6 fountain guard, 6 Knight, cap, bann, Faramir and another hero guy.
Now, I build my 1500 points Modrod army, and I had to use many mordor orc as Black guard or Orc tracker. I modified them, I used bitz and GS.

If gw would relase WOR compatible plastic armies, Im sure there would be more lotr games, costumers.

Well GW did change the blisters to fit WOTR, for instance: 4 berserkers instead of the previous 3 per blister.

But I agree, small army boxes or something would be a great way to build your army as well as attract new players.

Yes Amarthadan is right, that did change, although big boxes of 100s of troops would be nice. By the way, Modrod is Mordor and its WOTR not WOR, it looks like you can't spell the word 'war', sorry if English isn't your 1st language.

Yeh it is not.
Modrod was a mistake, and I wrote that tired.
In my country we use WOR for abbreviation, we dont use T in it. Its easyer to say it too. And sound like war.

Sorry Bastion.HUN, though it looks odd to me, please feel free to call it what ever you want as long as everyone understands. (So don't call it 'Pink and fluffly sabour-toothed rabbits' or something similar :wink: )

Also battleforce boxes like this on WF and W40k would be great especially for begginers :-D

Easterling Kings, Dragon Guard and Dunland Royalbloods and Bezerkers should not have been abandoned by GW.

Just so you know Wor can also be an abreviation for warriors of rohan. That's why we add the t.

Easterling Kings would have been awesome. Also I think they should release some conversion packs, like a Harad Conversion pack for example as it would allow people a lot more variety in their armies.

These are what I think GW SHOULD release, not what I want them personally to release:

Plastic High Elves
Plastic Numenoreans
WOTR starter boxed set
New customised Orc set (i say this because orcs are supposed to be all different, this boxed set should allow for lots of conversion options)
Plastic Warriors of Arnor (all standard troops should be plastic)
Sons of Eorl on Foot
Plastic Easterling Kataphraks

I think that is a realistic summary of everything that GW needs to release, as for things that havn't been done, The Corsair Ballista is not out as with the reavers which is rather puzzling.

would love to see an isengaurd plastic box, with plastic crossbows. because i cannot pay that much in finecast for a common formation in wotr and what should be a staple of all isenguard armies.
also an addition to the osgiliath ruins, maybe including a round tower and a statue of a hero on horse as i see lots of statues of people on foot in my local GW but nothing on a horse.

I for one am glad crossbow are not in plastic. If they were it would make it so much easier for people to spam them out.

Just curious about your use of the word 'abandoned' there. If memory serves those profiles were in LOME or something, maybe somewhere else. Anyway, have GW made some announcement that these figures won't be made, or are you assuming that because of the delay in seeing them released?

Oh, by 'abandoned' i mean that (since WOTR and all), they've decided that they will no longer make them,, they only produce models hat appear in the WOTR book.
