At least if it IS fishmen, it'll shut up that guy who'd trying to hawk his Nautican list.

Jeez, try searching google for 'new warhammer army' and see what you get...

:/

eh, personally, after thinking about it, my bet is probably first and foremost on bringing the space marines into Warhammer to go beat up chaos, and that the'll probbaly end up being Spartans Either that, or fishmen, or pirates.

Cathay would be neat, but why? At the prices GW charges its not like anyone in China could afford any of the legit stuff anyway.

It took some one long enough to mention grape ape
Man I am old.

If it isn't fishmen it'll be Pan Fo!

Of course they will go along perfectly with Litko Aerosystem's new line of terrain called Industrial Towers and Space Corridors.

its going to be molemen, and they'll ride graboids into battle

Yeah, but too bad they auto-lose to a mere human in a bunker.

Personally I'd like to see Cathay stuff. I'd like to see them have some specific abilities that hose demons hard. Just demons no one else. They do share a gigantic border with the demon wastes and fight them all the time so you'd think they could deal with them. Maybe some really hard hitting troops that have ASF against demons in every round of combat, are immune to psychology vs demons and hatred (demons). But instead of them being more expensive for it, they just have it. Kind of how demons kind of just have everything but don't really pay anything for it.

But I betcha 20 internets it will be reviled within 30 seconds.

30 Seconds? That almost sounds like you doubt the speed of revile-ation.

I will bet you that it will be reviled -before- it is revealed.

I think I already win, I will accept payment now.

Something that is non-human, that looks gracious and can be thought of as "genuine good guys". Maybe cat-people with slightly oversized eyes and fiercely cute faces. Some units based on other anthropomorphic animals like foxes. Make them up with asian/japanese looks and they will be a solid seller. Target group is anime-fans, female tweens/teens and the japanese market. Call them Cat'Hay for maximum hilarity. Compare to Tau for 40k.

I bet 4 internet currencies.

It's going to be a human army...

...WITH ACTUAL BLACK GUYS IN IT. Not like "skin scorched by radiation" black, but actual African people.

You know, there are ways you can paint figures to make them not look irradiated...

Welcome to the Games Workshop hobby! Have you met my friends, the High Elf archers?

I think the elves looks ok xD

Elven archers? Yeah, they're not horrible.

Elven spearmen? Ugh.

*Dark* Elven Warriors? *cries*

@JHDD i think the biggest problem is their helmet shape + awkward elbow angled spear arm ><

with warhammer online out with the beautiful models already made easy for the sculptors , i hope the new white lion swordmaster are done properly!

WITHIN 30 seconds. that would include any time up and including the 30 second mark.

I'd love to see that happen. GW is by far too etnocentric, I guess it is the same stupid culture that causes GW to only make a few female figs, and they all have huge boobs and skintight clothing/armour. Not that I mind revealing clothing in general, I'd just like to see some females that actually dress as if they were in a war.

The dwarven army is made up of both men and women. It just really hard to tell them a part.

Nobody has it as bad as the poor Catachan! poor models. they barely assemble, let alone properly, and their HUGE out of proportion arms look ghastly, forget about the oversized hands because their arm mass is greater than their torso or legs!

I'd like to see 40k lizardmen... Call them the Saurus and give them high toughness low strength troops and massively overpowered psykers and call it a day. Their guns should be short range, high str and low ap so that they are forced into close encounters where they kill alot of baddies and then get locked into combat for several turns.

Hrud.

There have been rumors Chaos Dwarfs will be done by Forge World. They would be released in a similar campaign fashion as Krieg v. Chaos (Empire v. Chaos Dwarf). Certainly enough artillery inspiration for their sculptors. I just wonder if 'Done by FW' equates into FW doing the entire line or FW doing one off pieces for a standard GW release (Or maybe it's all bullshiat).

Can you imagine the cost of buying a pure FW fantasy army? Would probably put a Krieg force to shame in terms of £££.

i think it will be space marines,with steam powered dreadnoughts,gromril armour and nice abilities against chaos.Chaos dwarves is also an option(IMO),they will eventually do them:I imagine the people in their creative think tanks saying "Wow dwarves+chaos sounds uber awesome!Also,think of the overpriced cannons and guns we could sell!"

Actually i ( we ) can! it wont be much of a difference after the price *adjustment ( oh silly GW )

Only GW's parts won't be cast in a gak quality and you can attain them much easier.
