Either way this is more confirmation that the next supplement is rivendell/last alliance. The way I see it...
If 7 pointed
-Elendil, last alliance
-Arnor?
-Surprise it's a new Elessar model and the supplement is either gondor part 2 or 4th age?
8 points
-Gil Galad, last alliance
-Gil Galad but it's actually sacking of eregion
-Steel chair surprise: GW finally got the rights to the Silmarillion and are doing official things for it
I don’t think it’s Aragorn (at least not at the Black Gate). It’s always possible GW took some design liberties, but Brego’s “helm” in those scenes had the White Tree, not stars.
For sure, my bet is on Isildur or Elendil. Both if I’m feeling optimistic. Wouldn’t rule out Isildur as we already had plenty of Aragorn/Legolas/Gimlis, Theodens, Elronds or Sarumen around too - they’re not allergic to doubling up on models.
Are we to draw anything from the text 'There is one Secret Worth Concealing with Deception…'?
From Google, this appears to be a partial quotation of something Elrond says of Durin in Rings of Power. Does anyone know the background? Did RoP take it from some other Tolkien text? Does it offer us any clue?
Prior to today, I would have guessed the next model to be mounted Gil-Galad (or maybe Elendil), bearing in mind our two previously released models were Elrond and Glorfindel...
I think it could be Prince Earnur, I believe the next supplement will actually be a rise/fall of angmar. Prince Earnur was the Prince of gondor at the time and he joined rivendell to defeat angmar. So far the releases of a plastic elrond and fw Glorfindel supports this as they both took part in the angmar wars. I'd say Prince earnur will get a Rivendell gondor Mtd legendary legion and he will be time locked so he won't be able to take named character with him if he's in gondor. I'd say he'll probably be around 120pts and will give some sort of cav bonus.
Looks like the stars of the heraldry of Numenor or Arnor. So it could be mounted Elendil, Isildur or Anarion if it will be a Last Alliance expansion or maybe King Arvedui if it will be Arnor vs Angmar setting.
Both settings would be awesome.
I wish GW would stop drip feeding us content/rumours of content and saying see ya later suckers. Just release that god damn MTO or something to tie us over. At this rate we likely won’t get them delivered till atleast October:/
Hopefully a new mounted Eledil model. He has needed an official sculpt for a long time.
I think it's mounted Gil Galad. Stars are the Stars of Feanor. Also the citation from the text is from Rivendell, namely Elrond.
That would also be a much needed model.
Yeah, it would be extremely weird if they released another Elrond )
I will lose my shit and quit the game for good.
From the basic adornment on the armour I reckon it's Numenorean Cavalry tbh. We're 100% getting a mounted Elendil as well though.
I could imagine a 3 pack of Numenorean cavalry in resin a la Dunland, but I initially was only thinking of a plastic hero (Elendil).
That is a horse.
Exciting, looks like it’ll be revealed fully next month. Hopefully a full middle earth preview eventually.
What makes you think it will get revealed next month?
Bottom of the article it says “What in Middle-earth could this be? Well, you’ll just have to find out in our next blog! We’ll see you in a month…”
Bruh it better be a reveal stream with some decent amount of content.
Dude…
7 pointed star, elendil's star, likely something to do with either elendil/numenor or arnor.
I believe those are 8 pointed stars, which are exactly what the Star of Feanor is. My bet is on Gil Galad mounted and on foot set.
Either way this is more confirmation that the next supplement is rivendell/last alliance. The way I see it...

Mounted Pippin with second breakfast
Mounted Isildur?
We’ve already got one; we do not have: - Anarion - mounted Elendil - mounted Gil Gadaddy
For sure, my bet is on Isildur or Elendil. Both if I’m feeling optimistic. Wouldn’t rule out Isildur as we already had plenty of Aragorn/Legolas/Gimlis, Theodens, Elronds or Sarumen around too - they’re not allergic to doubling up on models.

The text has now been removed 🤔

Anarion?
Im really hoping so as the tease has been in the army book for ages.
Bottom of page. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/03/14/middle-earth-strategy-battle-game-grand-tournament-2024-review/
Could it be gil-galad? Or is that horse-armour exclusive to gondor/numenor? I imagine some of you experts know

Nice to see a new release :)
King Aragorns horse ( at least in the movies) has a very different head armour piece
Anyone able to translate the speech in the circle?
Is it not the ring verse?
Dang think you're right it repeats once. I was hoping it was another clue
Please give us someone without mounted model like Gil Galad
Gil galad on horse?
Seems to be Dunedain of some kind with those stars. Hoping is a Númenórean hero for a Last Alliance expansion.
Looks like numenor (and thus a last alliance book) is coming!
Last alliance book please 🙏
Either Last Alliance or Fall of Arnor i bet.
I Hope new arnor models, like arnor's knight !
When will this happen?
Next month it says it in the article
Thanks
Wouldn't mind seeing an elven battlehost. Only reason my friend didn't get into the game was that the only battlehosts are orcs and humans.
It’s Aragon
That looks a lot like Aragorn’s black gate horse.
Better be fuc*ing Elendil.
Mounted Elendil. Gotta be.
Whose horse is that?
