Lord of the Rings!: Even Cooler Source Book News!

"One ring to find the rumors and in the darkness bind them."

Well my avid followers, I have dug upon some more news as I searched the pool of Galadriel for the strands of the future...ALL of the Lord of the Rings Source books have been removed with 2 odd exceptions! The only 2 remaining rumors were the "A Shadow in the East" and the "Legions of Middle Earth" book.

It is a fact, this Legions of Mid-earth is better than the French Foreign Legion...just saying.

This is unusual because the "Legions of Middle-Earth" book contains the most widely used rules for Isengard, Rohan, and quit a few in between. This can only mean that GW are coming out with one MEGA-book to include all the rules and profiles for all the Source books they took out. WIN! That is a lot of new and updated rules! That includes Gondor, Haradrim, Mordor, Arnor, Easterlins, Hobbits, Elves, and more! This is a very anticipated release--except for the Matt Ward part--and I certainly can't wait for it.

Ninjas better be in there...I can smell them.

That means more Moria goblins, Sauron, awesome'r Arnor, and better Mumaks...I love my Mumaks!

LOTR!: More Mordor! New Sourcebook rumors!

Totally Mordor!

Hey all this is your Local Lord of the Rings fanatic, Dylan and from now on I'll mostly be posting about The Lord of the Rings.

For a long time there has not been any major releases for the Lord of the Rings (or LotR as i will be abbreviating from now on) but that is all about to drastically change. The Mordor source book is now unavailable to buy from the Games Workshop website and that is a sure sign something big is coming. With already great models in the Mordor range, such as the Mordor Troll, and Sauron I am very excited to see what they come out with next.

Sauron likes to club the baby seals!

Some of the rumors floating around seem absolutely amazing, such as boosting up Sauron even more (with 4 attacks, Fight and Defence 10, and the One Ring special rule which makes him practically unkillable, I cant wait to see what they come up with), making Morananon Orcs stronger, and delving more into the rules and background for Black Numenoreans.

The only bad Rumor I have heard so far is that there is a possibility that Matt Ward may be writing this Source book. He seems to do fine with LotR except for he tends to make stuff up that doesn't follow Tolkien fluff. For example, take the Castellans of Dol Guldor (great models by the way). According to Tolkien, they don't exist However before I judge too much, I will wait until more solid rumors appear.

Personally I think this will be an exciting release and i am very much looking forward to it. and now I put on my Magic Ring and vanish into the night...
