Those bits would work well for Empire and/or Mordheim projects:
Other than that, there is only some new artwork, which looks like straight out of 8th edition though:

Eh, these cities of sigmar bits do not look as good as the last preview. Just too fantastical for my taste.

I could see these used for Empire, Bretonnia, High Elves or Dwarfs:

They're great looking buildings. I hope the old world gets some buildings that do it justice - not just 10 million skull covered rickety magical towers.

Nice buildings, how is the scale of Middle Earth sh.. Stuff? It is closer to true 25mm scale. Those buildings would like just fine on a Warhammer Fantasy table.

Right. just a tad bit smaller? Not a bad thing though.. Don´t think I ever ever looked properly at LotRs stuff in real life. Pretty sure I have been around models in stores and games being played but never bothered for some reason.. They do look a little smaller (25mm non-hero scale vs 28mm?)

Everybody has their own rule of thumb for miniature scales. But here is mine: True 25mmMiddle-earth Strategy Battle Game Perry Brothers Heroic 25mmClassic Warhammer Fantasy 40K (rogue trader through 4th/5th edition) Mordheim Classic Blood Bowl Classic Necromunda Heroic 28mm to 32mm
40K (now) Avatars of War Modern Blood Bowl Modern Necromunda

The tower, due to its size, is almost scale agnostic. But all of those pieces should look just fine next to any WHF army.
What could look weird is if you started mixing this with dedicated GW terrain: I consider this an either... or... choice. And quite frankly, one of each of these would make for a crowded WHF table already - and would look spectacular.
For me the tower is a given (can't have too many towers, ever), and I like the house and ruins a lot as well. It will come down to prices...

I painted up some ruins of Dol Goldur for a pal and would say they would scale fine for WFB, so I would imagine these would be the same.

I might get some of the characters, despite not actually needing any more - I could probably field a small army made using only models for characters already...
The Warriors and Knights don't tempt me though - no interest in getting those ranked up, just not worth it for me. They do look good though!
I could see me using these new not-minotaurs as Chaos Ogres. To me they are far to "well dressed" to be with Beastmen, but they fit perfectly in a WoC force in terms of looks.
