Lord of the Rings miniature

hi yall,

i was lookin through the Lord of the rings collection at Games workshop. i was wondering if people here in Malaysia actually collect them. cause they kinda cool to actually collect and play.

i dont think theres a big community when it comes to lotr miniatures. some people get the miniatures to paint and keep bt gaming wise, not much action.

Not much action there coz it is sort of like historical.
Example, if you played the Mordor orks and won on the Palennor Fields out side Minas Tirith, what is the point?
According to the book and the movie, the orks lost, right? So basically it doesn't make sense to play LOTR the outcome is fixed.
You can't play Boromir there also, coz he died in the labyrinth of mine of Moria.

But in 40k or WHF, anything can happen. You can create your own scenario and play your own game.

gw has slowly moved away from the movie to a game of "what if"

games like this are highly situational and seasonal for instance legio/balau has seasonal stints when suddenly ppl are playing necromunda, blood bowl, battlefleet gothic, dust, etc...
