News: GW Newsletter - Cave Drake Unleashed

View Comments
Hello all, Slick here. The latest GW newsletter is out and some new releases for the armies of Middle Earth are on their way. Check out the Cave Drake below!

The Games Workshop Newsletter 15.09.2010
In this issue: Cave Drake unleashed

New on Advance Order

In The Lord of the Rings Gandalf said, 'Far, far below the deepest delving of the Dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things.' Well, now we can put a name and a bestial-face to those things - Cave Drake (see below for the face). This massive beastie and four other new sets for The Lord of the Rings are now available to advance order. The forces of Good are reinforced by two all-new Dwarf Heroes - The King's Champion and Flói Stonehand. While the Gundabad Blackshields Command and Gundabad Blackshields sets arrive to bolster the denizens of the Misty Mountains.

Advance order a mighty Cave Drake here.

The Cave Drake is a formidable monster and the ultimate hero killer. Should this serpentine terror defeat an enemy hero then it will swallow them whole, killing them instantly.

The Dwarf Holds The Dwarf Holds

As a warrior, the Kings Champion is second to none. Use him to slay Mûmaks and fight Heroic Duels. Flói Stonehand on the other hand has more subtle uses, able to nullify an enemy formation's special rule just when they need it most.

The Misty Mountains The Misty Mountains

Gundabad Blackshields are elite Goblins. They are as strong as Uruk-hai, and thanks to suits of heavy armour and the thick shields that give them their name, as resilient as Trolls. These burly Goblins are ideal for holding your battleline together.

News: GW Newsletter - Ulthuan & Misty Mountains

View Comments
Hello all, Slick here. GW's latest newsletter is out and as we already know, the High Elves will be getting some new miniatures this Fall to coincide with the High Elves being part of the new Starter Set! Lord of the Rings players will also see releases for the Misty Mountains! Having seen pics of the new plastic High Elf Swordmasters, the new releases for the HE should be very promising.


The Games Workshop Newsletter 18.07.2010
In this issue: Ulthuan gathers for war & battle rages anew in the Misty Mountains

Incoming: High Elves

This October is devoted to the scions of Asuryan, as we release a series of new High Elf miniatures.

The High Elves are the noblest of races, the remnant of a once-mighty civilisation that spanned the globe. The titanic destruction unleashed by the Daemons of Chaos and the monstrous betrayal of the Dark Elves left their nation a shadow of its former might and glory, and yet the High Elves fight on. For millennia they have stood sentinel against the depredations of Chaos, thwarting the machinations of the Dark Gods over and again, and though their population has dwindled, the skill and determination of their armies remains steadfast.

In battle, the armies of the High Elves are a glorious sight to behold. Ranks of elite soldiers clad in unspotted white and glittering silver stand against the dark tide of the Forces of Destruction. With a mystical grace and agility that is incomparable to the lumpen, slothful gestures of lesser mortals, they cleave through the foe with spear and blade - their skill and speed a match for any foe. Volleys of white-fletched arrows are sent slashing into the foe, accompanied by the heavier, deadlier shots of the Eagle Claw Bolt Throwers, which can punch through even the thickest armour. Powerful High Elf Mages direct the ebb and flow of the Winds of Magic to smite the foe with incandescent flames, or protect their allies with the dazzling power of Asuryan, the king of the Elven gods.

For more information about the High Elf releases in October, watch out for future newsletters, keep an on the Games Workshop website and check out October's issue of White Dwarf.

Incoming: Misty Mountains

Khazad-dûm, nestled below the mighty peaks of the Misty Mountains was once the greatest of all Dwarven holds - a place of beauty, light and artisanship unequalled. Now, however, it is the haunt of Moria Goblins, lumbering Cave Trolls and other, more terrible creatures.

For generations the Dwarves have longed to reclaim their ancestral home, fighting long and bitter wars against the Goblins who have usurped their cherished kingdom beneath the mountains.

This October the battle for dominion is set to intensify as both the armies of the Dwarf Holds and the Misty Mountains receive new reinforcements. With new miniatures for both factions, Good and Evil players have something to look forward to.

For more information about the Misty Mountains releases in October, watch out for future newsletters, keep an on the Games Workshop website and check out October's issue of White Dwarf. Players of the Strategy Battle Game will find rules to accompany all these models in November's issue of White Dwarf.

Advance Order: Battlehosts & Ruins of Osgiliath

The armies of Middle-earth march to war, the mightiest heroes of the War of the Ring at their head. These fighting formations are known as battlehosts, powerful units comprising groups of legendary warriors and great heroes that are far greater than the sum of their parts.
