Watch The Borders Of The Shire With Re-Released Hobbit Kits
May 7, 2018 by brennon
Games Workshop continues to support the progress and growth of The Hobbit: Strategy Battle Game with some more re-releases of old models for the range. This coming weekend is the time of the Hobbits of The Shire as they range the borders of their rural idyll and keep a watch for harmful invaders.
If you've been following Sam's growing Hobbit force then you'll know of Farmer Maggot & His Hounds. This set is a key one to pick up if you're a Hobbit fan as it not only provides you with a powerful character but also his tough dogs too. Just make sure to stay away from his fields as he doesn't take kindly to scrumpers!
We also have these wary Hobbit Shirrifs on the way too. These folk probably spend a lot of time down in the lands near Bree and are all too familiar with the comings and goings of bandits and the like.
So, whether you're defending The Shire from the cruel grasp of Sharkey or you're just making sure that wild animals don't come out of the forest to steal your flock, this set of releases is characterful and darn fun to see.
Hopefully, we start to see Games Workshop releasing more of these old model sets, branching out to include a lot of the long lost characters too.
What do you think of these returning Hobbits?

I’ve been waiting for a re-release of these fellows for quite a while. Hopefully grab some at Warhammerfest next weekend, along with the new goblin mercenaries.
Im excited for these rereleases. Better pick them up soon. For now Im working on my Cirith Ungol force but these guy shouldnt break the bank
Lovely minis, really should get mine painted so I can play through scouring of the shire. Tempted by the goblin mercs as an expansion/variety for my Goblin town.
Really glad to see these getting rereleased, everyone should get the chance to have them. They kind of had to be with the way battle companies is tbh
With the (now named) Middle Earth Stratagy Battle Game moving away from the Hobbit and back towards Lord of the Rings later in the year, I hope we will see more of these re-released. After listening to GW’s King Hobbit Adam Troke speak over the last few months I have got more backm into the game and I am really enjoying myself.
Really good to see some of the back catalogue of discontinued models coming back into production. It speaks volumes about the popularity of the game and GW’s new attitude to their customers that this is now a thing!
Very excited to see their return
