The movies have a LOTR license, but they are in no way official. they are supposed to fill in the blanks that the novels left, and shadow of mordor might have happened but we didn't have any orcish friends to tell us about it, i do not know if there were descriptions in the books of the haradrim but the books created a universe that would need more than our imagination to project itself. I wonder did Tolkien want to create a story or a universe but as the movies have a license and were the first ones to claim it, they are a part of it. One great piece of the collection that explain it. I do not know anything about the content Games Workshop has presented and if it presents something never mentioned or seen before and have rights to do so it is to be considered canon as long as it does not alter anything presented by those of higher rights than theirs. And as i said the stories don't have to be canon but the matter and actual material is real.
