A review of the LOTR SBG

[ket_the_jet]

...your rudeness was enough to make me have doubts as to whether I could expect players on GCCG to be the sort of people I wish to play with, and this is what I was explaining to jdizzy (ensuring that I did not name any names in the hope that I would not be thought of as waking up a sleeping dog).

Haha. I guess now I should suspect that maybe everyone in England gets their feelings hurt easily, can't take a joke, and is a drama queen. It's a good thing I don't let "one bad apple" ruin the bunch.

Anyways, you don't need to worry. Next time I am in the UK I will pick up a quart of Ben and Jerry's--double chocolate?, rent The Notebook, and we'll cuddle on your Ikea sofa and hopefully that's a suitable apology. Maybe we can make cosmopolitans and watch a Sex in the City marathon and talk about everyone that we have perceived as wronging us over the years. In the morning, I'll make eggs but only one egg per person because I don't want to lose my figure and I know you don't either. Let me know if you need me to pick up a box of tampons or any more estrogen and I'd be happy to oblige.

P.S., jdizzy, you were fine. There's no reason for this to keep coming up anyways.

Since it seems obvious to me that ket_the_jet is criticizing me for feeling offended while simultaneously doing his utmost to offend me, I shall refrain from attempting to defend myself from any further attacks he might fling in my direction.

...how 'bout that lotr sbg, eh?...

I didn't mean to derail your thread quite that badly. Sorry, dude!
So, yeah.... ummmm....*racking brain to think of a serious TLotRSBG-related question*
Are "They Who Shall Remain Nameless" still producing stuff for the game?

[jdizzy001]

ha ha.  Yes and no.  LOTR SBG is officailly gone, but you can still find pieces for it because GW made a new game about a year or so ago called War of the Ring.  It is SBG on warhammer scale.  They streamlined the rules and instead of making 500 pt armies you make 5000 pt armies.  Unique cahracters, such as gorn, no longer count as individule units, but give morale bonuses to the battalion to which they are assigned.  So, No they do not make LOTR SBG characters anymore, and yes because the profiles presented in SBG can be applied to every aragorn or nazgul they make for war of the ring.  You can also find articels about assigning stats and point values to pieces without profiles.  And once in a while, when they make a new character, they will release a SBG profile in addition to a war of the ring profile.

[Kev-La]

...Yes and no...

Ah, right. I wasn't sure if they'd lost the licence altogether, a la' Decipher.

The Rangers!  These are the Dunadain of the South

[jdizzy001]

The Son's of Numenor

[jdizzy001]

The Nightstalkers... Nightstalkers do it in the dark!

[jdizzy001]

The Haradrim infiltrators.  Again, sorry I don't have a macro lense for clearer photos!

[Kev-La]

Those are all pretty cool, jdizzy. Thanks for showing the pictures.
Who are the Nightstalkers, by the way?

[jdizzy001]

actually, all of those paint schemes are just ideas put out by games workshop.  they have nothing "to do" with lord of the rings.  They are just ideas to get a modeler's creative juices flowing.  You could say the nightstalkers are Gondor's elite commandos who work only at night!  (I totally made that up.)

[Kev-La]

(I totally made that up.)

Full points for imagination!

[jdizzy001]

here are the latest.  Arwen, Sam, Frodo, and the precious Gollum.  Hurry and look while the ink is still wet!

[jdizzy001]

okay, this is a better shot minus arwen
