Yea, like those Sigmarines right? I've heard people care about those a lot.

Was that sarcasm or a bit too blatant trolling btw?

Judging from the theme set by the mortarchs and archaon, I wouldn't be surprised if they released a plastic wyvern kit with Warboss and Shaman on it.

You know what I'd like to see return?

Big 'uns.

That are actually... big.

Some sort of new orcs that aren't all hunched over.

I think the allure of the Stormcast and khorne things was fleeting because of how drawn out and redundant the releases were (splitting of the units in the starter box).
I'm not fond of either, as I think many are. I'm merely pointing out that order of destruction is more than likely a low-man on the pole of what people actually want to see released, which would be whatever iteration all the elfs are in now, forces of order, chaos NOT khorne or nurgle, and skaven.

I am hoping the Orc release is swift and small, similar to what the pecks got.

I dont... and always thought that O&G was one of the big warhammer factions... then again you seem to know what people want

Rock Idol in plastic, or a new Wyvern carrying some boss.

Wyvern would be pretty nice actually!

I want to see a new kit of Ironjaw (Black Orcs) that fill up 40mm each and are as big as Stormcast!

Also want to see a plastic Wyvern.

And if we can dream, a plastic manglar squig! :-p

By some other sculptor. Please.

I really want some larger orcs.

I'm with Bottle- Iron Jaws or just some bigger Black Orcs, Big 'Uns, Orruk "Nobbzz," whatever...

A plastic wyvern would be nice, especially if it was done similar to how the Carnosaurs were done- have a few options for heads, tail barbs, riders... could be cool if you could build it as something totally different.

Wyvern is probably too generic

Of course they might rename it a wyveroth or something

But probably they will invent a new giant monster

Yeah, I agree. I'm not sure what it would be called so I just wrote Wyvern. The next fluff book/fiction probably will come out after the release period begins, however many weeks that will be, so no spoilers there for us, unfortunately.

I still want, as a collector of all giants from all game systems, a new multipurpose giant kit or whatever the hell they are called now. With FW scrolls apparently coming in March itching to put that 8.5" tall Bonegrinder on the table. I've fought vs 10 giants in 8th three years back for a fun game. But I would love to field a tribe of Giants in an AoS game now.

Judging by what we've seen so far, GW is cleaning things up. So old kits or lines with many old kits will be dropped instead of being replaced and redundant kits (i.e. something that has a similar, but better, kit) being dropped. Not sure what qualifies in destruction, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the generic lines go.

As far as new stuff goes, GW has gone for big and expensive centerpiece lately. So either that or the Ragnarok Spider (and ogre mosterS) is good enough and nothing new (like Death already had the Nagash model).

Darnok on Warseer

Re: AoS - Upcoming releases

From what I've been told about Marchs O&G releases, we'll see a big monster, an infantry unit, a cavalry unit, and several clampack characters. Plus the obvious book of course.

http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?416013-AoS-Upcoming-releases&p=7601794&viewfull=1#post7601794

Heh, Archaon and Lizardm, fufufu, Seraphon limited editions are now on "last chance to buy". Unless I missed them earlier.

All new Orc heads to look like old Brian Nelson ones. The 40k boy with the bullet earring. Grimgork. Ghazkull. That's what I want. Please.

"No, no! It's totally not a wyvern! It's got a totally different name, see?"

Djy'ynt?

What is a Wyvern? I only knows Wyrms or Wyrmer.

NICE!
Really need some cool plastic characters specially shamans. As for Infantry I would love Squig herders, for cavalry squig hoppers and big monster a gigantic squig. That would be the perfect Squig update.
But I bet we will have something totally new.

Quite exited with this since characters, that are not in finecast, are expensive and hard to find these days.

In legend and folklore, a wyvern is a reptilian, dragon-like creature with two wings, two legs, and usually a venomous barb on it's tail. They've become the monstrous mount for Warhammer orcs. Among some people, especially in gamer culture (and possibly with a nerdy need to categorise things) it's strictly distinct from a dragon. If it's got two wings and four legs, it's a dragon. If it's got two wings and two legs, it can't be a dragon, it can only ever be a wyvern. It's a bit daft if you ask me.

Im covered with the best Wyvern on the market (mierce) so I really have no need for another one and I doubt that GW would come up with a better sculpt.
Really hope that the big nasty is something else.

And that is why a lot of people are up in arms over Smaug.

I would be really happy and interested to see what new or redone units the O&G get. I'm dragging my feet a bit on a prospective goblin project wondering what will make the cut in the next grand alliance.

At least it wasn't a Lindworm

Anyway, using the rumor above I would like to see a plastic Wyvern with an option for a Warboss or Great Shaman rider, an updated Ork Boyz kit with hand weapon and shield/two hand weapons/great weapon/bow options, an updated Boar Chariot (not technically cavalry, but the Boar Boyz are relatively new and still good sculpts) and clampacks for Heroes both on foot and mounted...

... and knowing GW we'll get none of those

I had a vague feeling in the back of my mind. But I don't need much of an excuse with dragons 'n' things...

Davor wrote:And that is why a lot of people are up in arms over Smaug.

Because of the nerdy need to categorise, or because they're a bit daft?

Anyways. Yes. If there's to be a wyvern, Seb Perbett wyvern please.

There's loads of different dragons in folklore, surely there's other dragons with two legs that aren't wyverns?

Orcs & Goblins in April, not March

Darnok - Warseer

Eh, just got word that my first batch of O&G information was off a month. Sorry everybody, it will be April, not March. It seems like some Skaven repacks, more Stormcasts and something Khorne is coming during March.

There should be a significant Stormcast-release sometime soon.
