Word on the web is Epic will return... in 8mm....

I like that Lake Town house.
Now, lets see the price point for it.....

[Vermis]

There is no LotR game anymore.

Now it's just Warhammer with slightly different costumes.

The lake town stuff is apparently going to be in plastic, they are also rereleasing the ruins of Osgiliath set as well

[M Blakey]

That's great news as they've been on ebay for £40+

Are we sure they aren't going to cost that or more?

You do make a very good point

I genuinely despair sometimes at the thought processes at GW

"what are the common micro scales"

"well, there's some 2mm, loads of 6mm, and some 10mm"

"Hmm, loads of choice there. I know, let's go for 8mm"

"8mm, why do you say that?"

"well, 2 + 6 = 8 and 10 - 2 = 8, so 8 will work with everything there"

"brilliant, that's why you're the boss. This is even better than your Finecast idea "

So we get infantry that can't be used with anything, a few tanks that may work, but lots that won't - and bugger all that fits with their own previous ranges.

Still, on the bright side, they have just saved me a bunch of money, because I would have picked up some of the stuff had they reissued it in 6mm.

[Gibby]

The scale will be 8mm – They decided on this scale after 3D printing a Marine, Dread, Leman Russ, Warlord and a Mastodon in three different scales. 8mm was deemed the best as you could see the details to the point of telling different armour marks apart but didn’t make the Titans too big.

Apparently. Makes sense!

[grant]

Apparently they have seen GHQ quality in 6mm, nor what can be achieved with better sculptors.

It's a bust for me.

[Tactalvanic]

Seems GW can even introduce scale creep to 6mm...

Shame.

Glad I already have enough 6mm original stuff.

[Elbows]

I was put off when they said that Epic will be via Forgeworld...if they try to do 8mm infantry in resin, I'll never play the damn game.    Actually...I won't play full-stop if everything in the game line will be Forgeworld resin.  Expensive and a pain to work with.  No thanks.

When's it for?

Only a lot excited.
