Tosin kaksi haltia-armeijaa voisi olla hiukan liikaa.

Gilaelin kirjoitti: Nelosedikan boksissahan olivat mukana helffit ja hiidet ja vitosessa bretit ja liskot, joten en näkisi ollenkaan huonona tai mahdottomana ideana, että joku noista pääsisi uudestaan aloitusboksiin. Tai siis, olisivat bretit tai haltiat virkistävämpi valinta siihenkin boksiin kuin läpipuhki koluttu örkit vs empire-teema.

Kyllähän se olisi virkistävää saaha aloitusboksiin jotkut uudet vastakkain aseteltavat armeijat. Tomb kingit ja liskot kuulostaisivat myös aika hauskalta, tai sitten skaven ja kääpät.

Upcoming known army books (in order)
Lizardmen (feb 2009)
Skaven (july? 2009)
Beasts of Chaos (october? 2009)


Army books just behind the horizon (order not known)
Tomb Kings (late 2009 or early 2010)
Ogre Kingdoms (late 2009 or early 2010)
Bretonnia (late 2009 or early 2010)
Note that releases more than a year away are always subject to change (though this does not happen very often), so we can only know things that are reasonably close for certain anyway.


8th edition
At the moment it looks like 8th edition will hit us medio 2010, with a release schedule probably similar to what Warhammer 40K had in 2008 - a new rulebook in july(ish) and a new starter set in september(ish). Most army books will have been released by that time, the starter set will be four years old (common lifespan for an edition of the core games is 4 years) and GW will likely want to put out a new, fresh one to attract new customers and tempt the veterans with deals that are "just too good not to get, even if I don't play either of the two armies". It is important to understand that new editions are primarily made to keep the excitement about the game high and NOT primarily about balancing anything. So expect rule tweaks to make the game more immersive and intuitve first and foremost.

The starter set will almost certainly include two set starter forces, quite different from each other. It will most likely be one "goodie" and one "baddie". The odds of it being Orcs & Goblins versus Empire are quite high.

Wild suggestions that will certainly crop up are:
- all existing army books will be invalidated (rubbish)
- Warhammer might switch to a D10 system instead of D6 (rubbish)
- the turn order might change from I Go, You Go to some kind of integrated system (rubbish)
- the game background might change dramatically, with the Empire being conquered by Chaos or something similar (rubbish)
These things always turn up when a new edition is underway and should be regarded with a healty dose of skepticism.


Army books or projects far off or uncertain
Dwarfs (early 8th edition?)
Wood Elves (early 8th edition?)
Chaos Dwarfs (GW "will develop them when we will have the time to, and resources")
Dogs of War (no plans to develop them)


New army books for entirely new or forgotten armies
Though Fishmen, Hobgoblins, Araby, Nippon, Cathay and Ind are more and more frequently mentioned in the army books (the Warriors of Chaos book mentions them all), the chance of any of them getting an army book any time soon is low.

ok then...let me speak about italian GT rumors...as i've collected an huge amount of them to share with people around the world...this seems the right place

ok,i spoke with Alessio and Jes Goodwin so let's go!

Chaos Dwarfs: jes said "squat are gone,i've killed them all,personally.Chaos dwarfs?No,they 'll be not squatted..instead in the future you'll see them,in style with hellcannon's crew ones.No more big hats,we will develop them when we will have the time to,and resources"

Dogs of war,Alessio:"sorry but there 're no plans to develop them.We want to make every army particular without criss-crossing between armies.Just like chaos who has been divided in 3, for a reason.DoW were a criss cross army we want no more.Maybe IF we develop an "apocalipse" for WHFB we could be reintroduce them..but not anytime soon and not as a stand alone army"

Khermi and beastmen and bretonnia,Alessio:"beasts of chaos will retourn in not so a distant future.The other two armies will wait more instead,they are fine just now,don't need a redone soon"

Lizardmen:will be nasty.Full of new models,more dinosaurs (a more fat stegadon model in the near future).Out in march,no spearhead box but something else.Stegadon will have 3 ways of use: as now, with the Warmachine of gods and with a crew of giant blowpipe skinks (swarm of dards rule..multiple poisoned St3 shooting weapon).No other informations could be said about,sorry

skavenut in 2009 summer.So after them it's time for beasts of chaos,i think.

Ogres: not in the schedule,not a priority for GW to redo my army .When and IF they redo them,probably rhinox riders will be a new type of unit,100% official

Then,i think, the MOST important FACT....they're thinking about a new edition for WHFB,not in a so distant future.
They know how the fifth edition of 40K has been very liked by people,so they want to do the same with WHFB,which instead it's a bit "stuck in marble" cause of rulebook.
they cannot by now expand WHFB lin a way like for 40k...so the new edition will be more fun and enjoyable.
In what way?no more only pitched battles,but scenarios like those used in the UK HEAT...with more emphasis on troops, targets to be conquered, table quarters and the like...so a whfb a little bit more like 40K 5th ed.
With also a magic phase in which misscast will be behind the corner...look out at 1 when casting a spell...even with one die...
Those are some ideas they have about to change the rulebook....and if this will be succesfull lik in 40k area...welll, we will se "siege sourcebook"..."apocalypse for whfb" and the like...i'm crossin fingers!
When this will happen? No one told us.....we could guess about it....i'm thinking about 2010...far from now...but not THAT far..but,who kows?Maybe before...

and the LotR thing: in february 2009 we will see "War of the Rings battle game" or "WotR"..something like "apocalypse for LotR game"...with some miniatures in plastics for ents,new trolls and the like....great battles on middle earth
Just to remind people that LoTR it's NOT dead...and instead will be,with WotC, revamped before "the hobbit" will be on the cinemas...in late 2009

No more things to be said,hope this will help

Jättimäinen puhallusputki...miten ihmeessä ne saa puhallettua siihen sen verta kovaa että ne nuolet lentäisi. No eiköhän GW keksi jotain type...järkevää tähän.

Että mitä?

Voe paska... 40K:sta päätellen "fun and enjoyable" tarkoittaa "reikäiset säännöt, mutta koska kaikilla on kivaa, se ei haittaa, joten emme panosta".

In what way?no more only pitched battles,but scenarios like those used in the UK HEAT...with more emphasis on troops, targets to be conquered, table quarters and the like...so a whfb a little bit more like 40K 5th ed.

Jos ne keksivät idean tyylin "vain core unitit voivat pitää objektiiveja", maailman tasapaino räjähtää. Osan armeijoista voi käytännössä koota pelkistä core uniteista, osaa (High elves anyone?) ei ole edes tarkoitettu koottavaksi core uniteista.
