News from the stream yesterday for those that missed it. I missed it so only caught the battle report at the end but some good person on reddit has posted the summary:

Sounds amazing, the legendary legions sound really interesting to me as do the new models what about you guys ?

Good news, remembered too late to watch on twitch, glad someone summarized it.

Can you still watch it or was that a one-time only broadcast? Super stoked about everything. Sounds like Numenor might be a go later this year. I believe the new team spends a fair bit of time on fan sites, unofficially, seeing what we like/want and don't like/want. Too bad they can't be more officially present, it would be really cool and help the site out a lot if they would drop previews around the web. WoTC did this with their huge Magic the Gathering game for a while, it really helped the little guys who did podcasts and had fan forums. Maybe that's a little too retro now anyway?

128 pages is a huge volume. Hopefully there's some painting and terrain love inside as well. I loved the tables made for the old volumes, especially the Arnor tables. While not as big as Battle Companies, it's probably 30 pages larger than the old Journey source books. Hopefully it will retail for around $45 CAD. I like sewn volumes, but the soft covers are cheaper.

Amazing! I cannot wait for the release.
Here are the main details. Sometimes Reddit can take its time, and if you are on the go...
Click to: Show
* Gondor at War releasing this month (they had the finished book)
* New models being revealed this weekend
* Legendary Legions - New army lists, but with a more restrictive selection of profiles. Will have new army bonuses. Grey Company will be one of these. Gothmog's Legion previewed in the batrep. New Bonus increases Gothmog's Special rule radius to 12", and his one time use rule to affect the whole battlefield.
* New profiles for more than just Gondor in the book. Some will apparently surprise us. Jay said there's a reason he's starting a new Corsair army this year...
* Gondor at War book will be 128 pages.

What are our official Gondor at war wish lists? One of my gondor loving friends wants woodland creature on rangers, the other wants a ranger list with a better bow limit.

This is wonderful news! I can't wait for the new models to be revealed. Probably more characters but I'd love some new plastic troop box sets.

You have to be a subscriber to Warhammer TV on twitch which is about $5 a month to re-watch any of the videos (a lot of people use Amazon prime which comes with a subscription of your choice I believe). Otherwise you need to watch it live when it streams which is free.

It's up! Not a huge reveal, by any means. (If you are "across the pond" like me, use the UK shop option, it updates earlier than ours do.)

The book is a hardcover and we got a new Three Hunters Set in plastic on the way. I think Gimli is the best of the three, but Aragorn's pose is certainly iconic. Bring out your dead!

Based on the recent Forgeworld releases and the notations on those characters' profiles, I would assume some of the early history of Rohan to be presented in the book, like when they are given leave to found their kingdom after helping Gondor in her battles. I think it's fair to speculate that Eorl will be re-released and we might get a new Rohan hero or special troop. Maybe that's what they mean by "unexpected models"?

Are you sure? I did not see it on the webstore...

Games workshop with the most games workshop move in the history of games workshop.

'What new minis can we release with gondor at war?'
'Perhaps some plastic citadel guard or fountain court?'
'Perhaps some new plastic characters?'
'Or perhaps, Aragon, Legolas and Gimli. Again. Again.'

I hope they get Legolas' face right this time. The Mirkwood version looks so... square. :legolas:

Hoping for some grey company love in the new book. Always been one of my favorite armies that has never been fun to play on the table. Some mounted options for Halbarad and mounted rangers, new elladan and ellrohir would be sweet too!

Funnily enough, Corsairs is the only army I haven't collected too. (Except for the Forgeworld armies.) Grey Company + wood elves was my first army, so I'm happy to see them back again.

I hope we get a generic gondorian militia unit added to the fiefs roster plus a couple more unique models for Anfalas, Morthond, and maybe Ringlo.

My vote is for a plastic Imrahil with a more dynamic pose along with plastic Dol Amroth men at arms also with new poses.

We have a lot of Gondor units, but I want plastic sprues for fountain court and citadel guards. Same for warriors of Numénor. I also think an ale barrell cart would be cool(Boromir said to break out the ale). Counts as a banner and +1 courage within 6".

Seems like I am buying more books and dice than models these days. Just got The Hobbit Armies and now Gondor is coming out. I wonder how many versions of the game I've bought over the years, book-wise?

The minis look nice, but I don't really need any more Gimli, Aragorn, or Legolas models. I couldn't tell you how many I already have. I'd like to see a full 360 picture of them though.
