thank you for the replies. that being said, my issue was not that much about the fact it was the collection was aimed for newbies (in fact i am a newbie: never had the opportunity to play since i was a child, and even then, i collected more than i played), but more about the fact that the issues, aside from being poorer (but maybe it is just a subjective impression), focus more on the lore than the game and are wayyyyyyyyy slower to introduce the new gameplay elements/painting methods. To compare: (i wasn't able to find the first three issues of bgime available without registration on the internet, so i will show the 1,5 and 10 to illustrate my point) https://vdocuments.site/lotr-battle-games-in-middle-earth-issue-01.html https://kupdf.net/download/lotr-battle-games-in-middle-earth-issue-5_58f89cccdc0d600140da9863_pdf https://doku.pub/documents/battle-games-in-middle-earth-issue-10-6oq1e4o9mz02 as you can see, both mortal realms and bgime start from scratch (in terms of rules, painting, scenery craft). The only difference is that bgime goes way faster in all of those aspects (on the first issue you already learned basic painting of gobelin, while for mortal realms, on 3rd issue you only learnt undercoat... same for the rules, you learn the rules much more faster in bgime, thus are able to play advanced scenario much more quickly (also thanks to the use of proxies)) In fact the ironic part is that when i got bgime, i used to watch pictures and overlook text (i was 8), thus i didn't understand/misunderstood lots of things that i understood much later, and now that i am a young adult, I have a new collection with very big picture in it and that over-explains everything😆...

ok, thank you, i was exepcting mortal realms to be a spiritual sucessesor of "lord of the ring battle games in middle-earth", but it turns out, as you confirmed to me, that it's just minis sold weekly "with a themed booklet", that's quite unfortunate regarding the high quality of the lord of the ring collection (that provide each two week real scenario, with original objectives, sometimes their own specials rules... (and provide proxies to be able to play interresting scenarios straight form the first issue), it also provide a section dedicated to scenery crafting, and one other painting, and the whole covering the same thematic so everything fits together). To summurize, it was a collection really worth buying as a collection, not just as minifigures for cheap. Rest in peace BGiME😪

hi folks, I recently discovered the new age of sigmar magazine collection, that at first glance looks really cool but, while the miniatures are fine, I must admit I am quite disappointed by the quality of the booklet, especially when we compare it to the "lord of the ring battle games in middle-earth" one that was WAYYYYYY better (and the difference is even more noticeable when one factor the fact that I don't care about Warhammer lore). In particular, I am particularly disappointed by how poor the gameplay section is, same for the painting section that was quite minimalistic But the fact is that we (in France) are currently only at 3th issue, and I was thinking, maybe it’s just for the beginning and it gets better later, and as I wasn’t able to find out any review that focus on the quality of the collection as a collection (all reviews focused on the monetary value and the value of the content, not the value of the collection as a collection) So, as I know the collection was released for long in others countries, can someone who already is into the collection tell me what I can expect from following release, and, if It’s worth buying if one considers the booklet as the main product and the miniatures as the “bonus” and not the other way around (and also considering the fact I don’t care about the lore)
