So, peter jackson is producing the hobbit, AND a Hobbit sequel (wtf?).

Anyone think this means a new LOTR line?

If GW can manage it right it's actually money in the bank. Invested properly it could become a corperate nest egg to protect the company from fluctuations.

Personally I'm looking forward to Bilbo, Gloin, Oin, etc.

My bad, seems someone beat me to this, but in a different forum.

Trust me, no matter what damage they have the potential to do, single-shot weapons always flatter to deceive in 40k.                                                                                                       Rule #1

Is it even possible to "waste" White Dwarf pages? Well, I suppose maybe you could "waste" them in the same sense that I can "waste" toilet paper by using it to blow my nose rather than wipe my ass.

In Soviet Russia, White Dwarf pages waste you!

Ok, this I can't stand.
1. White Dwarf sucks. Period. End of Story.
2. LotR has no part in the White Dwarf sucking.
3. LotR is the only game with any rules content ever these days. Not it's fault. That would be GW company policy.
4. This complaint got old in 2002. Why are you still complaining about it?

Except that LOTR didn't have Lenord Nemoy.





I like these neat new emotes!!!



At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

If it means GW will (re)release the Battle of Five Armies game, I'm happy.

He's got a mind like a steel trap. By which I mean it can only hold one idea at a time;
it latches on to the first idea to come along, good or bad; and it takes strenuous effort with a crowbar to make it let go.

Does anyone else reckon they're just gonna split "The Hobbit" book into two films (Lets call them "The Hobbit", and "The Battle of Five Armies")?

"Ah, but then I'll wake up in a magical fantasy world, filled with virgins!"

I don't think we need two threads on the same topic. If you'd like to discuss the Hobbit movie, please post in the other thread.

yakface's 40K rule #1: Although the rules allow you to use modeling to your advantage, how badly do you need to win your toy soldier games?
yakface's 40K rule #2: Friends don't let friends start a MEQ army.
yakface's 40K rule #3: Codex does not ALWAYS trump the rulebook, so please don't say that!
