Yritys kehittää puskajusseja radikaalisti kuulostaa lupaavalta. Kunnon wilderness-tyyli rupeaisi nappaamaan jo minuakin.Just spreading the word. Thanks to Lion of Flanders for sharing.

OK guys, I've been given the OK to blab away:
Storm of Chaos (this might be old news to some): Slayer army=many coool new figures; Dwarf "fanatics" whirling axes very cool. Slayer war machine (I don't like the concept, but the model is really coool...with cool crew figures as well). New mounted Orc Shaman with choice of heads both are nice. New Black Orc character model very nice...Black Orcs with great weapons pretty similar to the existing Black orcs except with....great weapons (finally!)
Ogre Kingdoms: Huge variety of metal ogres with lots of optional bits to make unique figures. The Ogres have real character with the idea being that some have travelled and returned to their homeland; Ninja style ogre, empire, pirate, etc. very cool. The knoblars are great, they can be bought as "upgrades" to a unit that give the unit luck /bonuses. They look like goblins with floppy ears. The Ogres have a war machine which is fan f**kin' tastic. A huge potapult which is towed by this wooly rhino type creature.
Wood Elves: Concept and early design phase at this point. THe range will be redone making the woodelves a lot wilder (and somewhat creepy ) The Dryads will no longer be trees, but return to more traditional dryads, i.e. wood nymphs (creepy chicks). There will be new troop types including Elk (stag) riders and a sort of swarm/fairy type troop made up of pissed off fuzzy woodland critters. There will be a new metal treeman and best of all, possibly the most joyous news to come out of GW in decades is that there will be a new elven steed! In general the WE will not be HE without armor, instead will have a unique, feral feel to them. The concept art and the test greens that I saw were really great.
General: A new plastic cold one for DE is in the works. Great news for those that hate the Cow One that is available now. The latest Valten is a really nice figure.
More things might shake loose from my head if prompted but that's about what I recall off the top of my head.

Vice: The new cold one is in development. I chatted with Ally Morrison who was working on the"3 up" as we spoke. (Plastics are made from a 3 times size master and then the metal mold is CNC etched from that master). It looks a lot like the 5th edition CO, i.e. standing on hind legs. I liked it. Plastic models have long lead times. I heard something to the effect that at full capacity, the plastic mold unit has a 40 week cue of new stuff in the works.
Apollyon: I've been there before over the years and have some friends who have allowed me to meet and get chummy with some nice guys who have advanced within the company
And Vice: And having an army that the WD wants to photograph gets one's foot in the door of the studio. Generally pretty off limits to the public, but a GT or GD win, or some kind of "official" studio bizness will get you by the security.
Blustorm: I wouldn't spend a penny on WE right now. Paint/play with other stuff for a year and then buy. Mark my words, you'll be glad you did.
JollyOrk: The Ogre buccaneer has a knoblar on his shoulder who is dressed like a parrot (complete with beak) and the ogre has a huge ostrich feather stuck into his scalp (no hat, just the feather). Its great.
I might just do a WE army when the time comes.....
