First of all - my primary reason for this topic is because having "Happy New Year" as most recent news annoyed me. But am I the only one who feels that GW LotR is getting much less popular...since the movies are long forgotten in a matter that the whole LotR hype is kind of over. I am thinking of starting my own Imperial Guard force instead...gotta love those guys who throw their lives away for the Emperor...heh |

I don't think it is. But i really only collect Gondor troops. And they haven't released anything new untill they do the return of the king. Fight for the greater good.

I don't think its dying. Its probably that without the GW forums, and the lackluster support from WD on average that it seems that way. |

I don't really know. Although, I have to say, I think that Fantasy is a better game than 40k Haven't tried LotR, and I don't intend to... that might be one of the reasons why I haven't actually noticed a decline in its popularity. |

GW has recently admited getting carried away with LoTR, pouring resources away from WH and 40k. They said they would refocus on WH and 40k. Nothing said about prices though <_< |

It seems to me that GW is putting out things that the gamers don't care about and not what the gamers want. This seems to be driving people away. I ahve a huge LOTR army but I rarely buy anything know as I'm focusing on My IG and SM. Plus GW has done such an awsome job with WH that it has inspired me to get some. most people around me who are serois gamers reckon that LOTR is screwed or close to it. |

I dont really collect lotr anymore, i still get BGIME but its been at least 18 months since i bought anything from a GW store for lotr. I'm quite happy with 40k, with my soon to be completed black templars I'll soon be starting IG/Eldar/Witch Hunters. |

Don't know if I'd call it my favourite anymore, but I certainly prefer it to WHFB. 40K still rules though, I'm still trying to decide if I should rebuild my Dark Angels force with the new stuff coming out. |
