While Games-Workshop may not release any more figures, you can get pretty much everything you need to play Helm's Deep or Pelennor Fields from Copplestone (http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk....php?range=FAN). They're 10mm figs and clearly LOTR inspired.

my schoolmates and I played the game (I think there was near 10 of us) we had a blast with the game. It ended almost in a draw (I was 2 models off from winning!)
The rules are simple and quick but enough depth to make interesting tactics and strategies. The fault lies in GW or SG not making anything else for it, but as Tiberius Frost points out Copplestone has made other models. With quick rules you can make up on your own with your buddies this system can make whole campaigns.
I really hope when The Hobbit comes out this gets more attention.

amen!
I guess it (Bot5A) hasn't stood up to the test of time but the good part is the models can cross over to play in regular Warmaster.

Copplestone do some great lotr warmaster scale units and characters which look great.
I can not start posts so i cant ask this anywhere else... annoying by the way moderator, can you fix that? or do i need to do something..
anyway the question.. is there any place where we can find rules and army lists for later battles. obviously this scale lends itself to the epic sized battles of LOTR far better than prohibitively expensive 28mm figs. So there must be either a set of rules that will allow me to make other armies, or someone has to have done this already.. can anyone point me to either
