With the new Hobbit movie coming out soon there are lots of new Hobbit releases for Games Workshop coming. Just lately the How to Paint Citadel Miniatures cover was updated showing the Lord of the Rings Logo on it, and rumors are pointing towards the Hobbit License for GW reaching into 2016.
Lets take a look.

Last week the "How to paint citadel models" were re-relased with a new cover. I found on the book something interesting, the cover show GWs Systems 40k, Fantasy and... LotR?
Does the Hobbit not replaced LotR? My actual informations says GW will abolish the Tolkien universe in 2016. So, why the LotR on the book?

I have my sources again asked about the Tolken licences. They say:
-GW has two seperate licences For Hobbit and LOTR
-The Hobbit licence will end in February 2016
-The other runs until the End of 2015
-GW could extent the LOTR licence for the cinema re-release of the Trilogy
-
But the probability is very low
