Well for island you are stuck with either the lizards or either elf types, scaven and maybe chaos/demons.
so for the good/bad combo you can have
LM vs scaven/dark elves/chaos.
HE vrs scaven/chaos
No rumors at all of LM being in it so you are stuck with HE.
So my guess would be HE vrs scaven or the new daemons.

I wouldn't be surprised if GW came out of a left field and hit us with something like Ogre Kingdoms and Brettonians.
At this point, I would. It's High Elves and Skaven.

I'm a little relieved to hear this. While I'd be happy to get a few of those in cheap plastic just to be able to use them, I don't really like the sculpt.

I dunno about that. He also did the crewmen on the Repeater Bolt Thrower and the Lion Chariots too. Those are pretty damned good, imo.

Ah, finally found out. This is a sculpt found on ebay, for 159.90 US-$ plus postage.
BTW the poster on Warseer got it wrong, the Hong Kong mortar team is an inferior copy of Velard's or rather Grishnak's original sculpt, but about 4 times as expensive Reds8n's pic shows Grishnak's original.

You know, it's all the pointy hats that generally keeps me away from Elf models...just looks so goofy. Can't we come up with something else to differentiate them from humans other than funny hats? Funny hats are to Warhammer what bumpy noses and foreheads were to Star Trek.

Pointed helms make a bit of sense though. Angle of deflection from swords, arrow penetration, etc.

Also, the helm is shaped to fit the head perfectly, Death by Monkey. The helm has to be pointy cos that is the shape of their heads. They have pointy craniums for to store their superior intellects.

Indeed , they are all made from the same Hongkong company , just wanted to see if the sculpt and cast quality was believable :3
