I think this might be the most appropriate thread to ask, but does anyone know of any LotR resources? I'd like to pick up a few models before they disappear but not sure how many models a game requires, etc.

Besides this? Don't know. The book advises starting with 6 doods on each side for training and doesn't go on to recommend army point values.
Really strange for GW, probably the reason why they didn't market the "collect what you want, we don't care/it's mostly a scenario game"... game.

Well the actual Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game is heavily scenario based so I guess pick a bit of the story you like and try and grab those models. From my experience there is heap of second hand stuff on eBay, typically the Moria starter.

Cool, that actually makes it a lot easier, though not so much on my wallet. I think I'll need to find a copy of the book(s) somewhere then first.

I heard that the minis are smaller than 40K. Good thing, it saves me from buying used to convert into Guardsmen.

Some sweet rear end minis, too.

They're more of a "true" 25-28mm scale while Warhammer is more a 28-32mm scale with "heroic" proportions.

Wouldn't look good near GW guardsmen, but you raise a good grog point that I've never thought about myself. Those Khandians and Easterlings (forgive me, I'm not that much of a LOTR nerd) look really wicked cool.

New Mordheim warband (in beta form) from the designer. Looks a little rules intensive but cool that it is still getting unofficial support.

Off the top of my head (I don't have any to hand, sold mine ages back), somewhere between 2.5 - 3cm long for the hull. I seem to remember they fit on the small FoW bases quite nicely.

From tip of cannon to end of track, an Epic: Armageddon era Russ is 31mm. With a Vanquisher, it's about 38mm.

I know this is a real longshot, but I was wondering if anyone has two spare Mordheim windows:


For some reason, I'm missing both of them, and it's really annoying that I have no clue as to where they might have gone. I'll of course pay shipping and for the bits.

I have some nice resin window boxes that look similar to that but are not identical. See photo below for what they look like. If they're good enough for your needs I can drop 2 in the mail.

Yes. Most are Delaques, plus 2 Arbites in the lower right, and the dudes with cheek-guards who seem to be Cawdor juves.

VVV: gently caress :doh: Yes, Delaques not Orlocks.

Cool!

What should I do with them? I never played Necromunda but it seemed like it was the game I wanted 40k to be. I assume I bought the minis on ebay or something as I was playing 40k around 03-04 and I don't think the game was active then. No idea why I bought the juves from a different gang, maybe it was a lot or I just didn't know any better. Are these guys worth anything or should I just stick them in a drawer incase I end up in 80's England somehow?

There were two sets of rules released by GW, once in the 90's (Original Rulebook) and once in the early 00's (Living Rulebook). YakTribe is still balancing and updating something called Necromunda Community Edition. It's an edited version of the 00' book but brings back some stuff from the original 90's game (I think).

There's a ton of other stuff out there, and free PDFs for almost all of it exist somewhere in the YakTribe vaults. New gangs, scenarios based on The Predator/Total Recall, different campaign rules, etc. It's a fantastic setting.

I love everything about the game but I've never played it. Going to try my hand at creating some terrain before I spend any money on models.

edit: If you don't have any interest in playing the game right now, original models are listing on Ebay for $12-20 each. Sell 'em now and buy cheaper (arguably BETTER) plastic kits from other companies later on if you get the urge to play.

I know I would, but my work schedule is erratic and unless any of you all are in the MD/DC area, I don't think I have any means of finding a group. I wish I had gotten into it when I was younger, I worked in a theatrical scenic shop and could have build a table full of terrain in an afternoon of work.

Yikes! Even at the low end of that I would rather have the ~$180 and take your advice if I ever found an opportunity to play. I assume it is better to sell them individually?
