Just a quick post before I forget these:

1) OK - ForgeWorld are planning to produce a cavelry unit for the Ogres

2) New Chaos dragon was on display, still WIP but looks gorgeous - two headed with another mouth in the belly of the beast. On a similar scale to previous dragons - so expect to be expensive. They plan to keep producing a dragon year on year.

3) New chaos cavelry to be produced - concept sketches of the mounts were shown at the seminar.

4) Demon model to be produced on a yearly basis - following the Khorne dude, the next model is to be a slaanesh model.

Just remembered the OK cavelry are Rhinox's

Kuten tästä huomaamme, eivät ole hevosia vaan Rhinox-sarvikuonoja.

Hope this helps a bit.

I'm sure that someone will better this but I've just got home from the Birmingham NIA and thought that you would like a little run down of what I remember.

* Portent got mentioned a couple of times in the Warhammer seminar. The first was when they were showing a Wood Elf concept sketch which they assured us they had produced themselves not lifted from Portent. The second was when the guy with a notepad that was sitting next to me asked a question, the GW bloke with the microphone came over and jokingly said "don't tell him he's writing it all down for Portent" they answered his question anyway though. I don't however know if his note were for the benifit of this website though. I thought that you guys my be glad to know that you got a bit of recognotion as a community and of course this was a backhanded confirmation that they read these boards
* The first section of the seminar was about OK, didn't really learn anything I hadn't already seen here with the exception that the Scrapalauncher is S3. This was the only part of the seminar that they had pictures for (Lustria just had a list and Wood Elves had 1 concept sketch of an archer), the OK Gorgers are amazing.
* The next part was entitled Lustria. A campaign book will be produced about the continent featuring detailed Warhammer campaign rules, rules for fighting in the jungle including environmental encounters that you can play on your oponents (for instance plants trying to eat them) and of course the Sacred Cult of Sotek and Clan Pesitilans list (these were the only two lists the slide they showed mentioned).
* Wood Elves will follow the Lustria book, the entire range is being redone and added to, they will lose their ability to shoot at long range with no penalty but instead will be able to move and shoot with no penalty. You will be able to field an all Wood Elf or all Athel Loren army or a mixture of the two. The WE are not good or bad more more akin to a force of nature like the sea. They consider the current army is not very fun to play against and wish to introduce more elements designed to be in HTH to counter this. They will have light cav and a unit that acts in a similar fashion to heavy cav but NO chariots.


In the Q&A the Chaos Dwarfs were asked about twice, the first time Gav merely said "Bigger Hats" the second time it was stated that they had ideas but no plans for them. From this section I also learned that 7th ed Warhammer will be like 4th ed 40k in the sense that all the old armies books will remain compatible. Well thats about all I can think of at the moment, this has been my first post on Portent (although I've been lurking for a long time) and now i'm off to bed. Enjoy.

Portent kirjoitti:Anthony Reynolds, who is writing the (Wood Elf) Army Book, gave us a few insights at GD:

-1 to hit at long range is confirmed, as is no move or fire penalty. He is aware that WE can be frustrating to fight against and he plans to lessen this by making it more attractive for WE players to "move closer".

Larger minimum size of units.

Glade Riders will have a heavier option.

Wardancers and Dryads will be made more different - he said they have too similar a role at the mo.

WE magic will be Athel Loren flavoured - but he admitted Treesinging was too powerful.

He was aware that Glade Guard are over-priced and under-used - he will fix this.

Two "sizes" of treeman.

New units which I inferred were tree-spirits-based.

There will be three types of army you can choose - Shooty skirmishing (I guess like now), more meaty HTH army or wood spirit army (no elves at all).
