Hi guys, I've recently decided to get back into the hobby *queue round of applause* and I was wondering if I need any of the new rule books? I'm happy playing with the models I have and I have the main rule book but it's like 6 years old, if I do need a newer one, I can't seem to find a comprehensive rule book anywhere.... Also, if anyone is aware of any tournaments or gaming clubs ect, in Lincolnshire, please let me know!
Ash

Well the Hobbit rule book is the current one which I would recommend getting. Contains all the new special weapon strikes and monster brutal power attacks.
All The Lord of the rings models are in sourcebooks divided into factions. Mordor, kingdoms of men etc etc. I would recommend picking up the ones you need.
If you want to go to tournaments then you'll need the updated rules and sourcebooks.

Thanks guys. I guess I need the Hobbit and the source books then -.-
Thanks a lot. Encouraging to see that the internet isn't full of bad people like I'm used to in the online gaming communities (y)

Define "bad"...
The old Rulebook is still more or less valid, the rules havn't changed a huge amount. A few rules have been removed (e.g. volley fire), a few have been altered slightly (magical abilities) and some new ones have been added (monsters have new dangerous special abilities and models can make special attacks depending on the weapon they're equipped with).
If you're going to play mainly in GW stores, then you will definitely need the new one.
If however you're just going to play at independent clubs, then you should check first what edition they use. If they're still playing the old rules then you could save yourself £50 and spend it on models instead.

Cheers man, that's a good point actually. If anyone has ever been to GW Lincoln...you will know that it is tiny and usually plays host to plebs shouting abuse from outside! haha The kind of 'bad' people I'm talking about are those you can find on any COD related forums especially tek-9
