lustriangod2 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 So what do we all think is coming next? If not selling certain models on the GW website is any way,shape, or form an indication of what's to come. Well then, GW has taken off a heck of a lot of Brettonian models that are no longer available. Hmmmmmm, they did something very similar to Lizardmen. So do you guys think Brett's are coming next. I guess we will see. By the way, I am hoping for a new Brett book myself. There is something to say about an army where more than half of it is on horseback. Let's go GW, and let's start the Brett Revolution. It's a long time due...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I am going with Bretonnia. The models are down, like you stated, this is a past trend (not only with lizardmen). I only hope they don't mess up the virtues. The book, in itself, isn't bad, it just takes a bit of patience and finesse to play. I would like to see knights on foot (and not at the ridiculous expense of those damned virtues) and halberds should be a unit upgrade for Men-at-Arms.

dkieft Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I am hoping not to see Brets or wood elves next. I'd rather see a brand new army hit the fantasy scene! Maybe some Pygmies or an intelligent race of beaver paladins who insist that large teeth are a sign of divinity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Well the Brets got pulled a while ago (may have run into issues with the Bret book) and usually items get pulled within the month of release. But yes, either Wood Elves or Brets, though my money is on WE. Honestly I am just glad GW has been keeping up on the Fantasy releases and we only have 4 books left with rumors of 9th right around the corner. Someone even came out from GW and said T&T was designed with 9th in mind. We'll find out in about a month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blustorm Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 New Wood Elves would be nice, but a new Brettonia book would be equally cool. As for a new race, I'm still waiting to see if they ever update DoW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fimir would be cool but they are almost extinct and there are not many other races left to forge a large army in the Warhammer world. Unless they do a Halfling army, they're like pygmies.

Um... the Chaos Dwarfs are "back". While not a mainstream army, the list is official. There are actually a pile of army books they could do (Araby, Cathay, etc) much of which out be humans, but they could add piles of new toys in with them. There are also a lot of things they could resurect from the old army books... but that is another story... Pygmies!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I am betting Woodies are next. If GW would do a new army, I would like to say Cathay based on the fluff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 You know since FW is doing the CD you are right. Forgot about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJTW Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 A lot if the Bret stuff is gone because it was metal and never got redone in finecast. I would guess woodies are next. Elves are pretty popular now and ASF, mixed with the new magic options seem to be handling a lot of interest which equates to a lot of potential dollars for GW. Bretonians are cool, but never have sold as well. People get scared of the idea of all that painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkieft Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 You know since FW is doing the CD you are right. Forgot about that. I'd like to see a regular army book for them myself, but I highly doubt that would happen anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrad Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I really hope to see the Bretonnians next. If for no other reason than to push the Woodies off for one more cycle. That would just infuriate John to no end! 'Evil Laugh' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearfoot_Adam Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Yeah because it's not like Brets deserve a book on their own merit what with them being the oldest book and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroZero Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I want to see a Brettonia AND wood elves in one book. That would really shake up some paradigms! And piss off everyone equally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be down with this ONLY if they they also added two more "minor" armies in with them... so none of them got the attention they deserved.

JMGraham Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I will weep tears of sadness if Brets are next. Seems like the rumors have been swirling around Woodies in may, and I'd love to see them with a new book (though I'm actually growing quite fond of the current book under 8th).

McNathanson Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Jim, I will weep tears of even more sadness than your tears if it is NOT Bretonnia, because if they are taking the models down and not putting out a new book, then I fear the rumors of their demise are true ;)On the other hand, if GW stops supporting the army, maybe we can just use the current codex and FINALLY drop Men at Arms by 1 point each and make their Halberds optional :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iraf Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I'm hoping for the next book to be Skaven, because I'm a greedy rat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratrek Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I'm hoping for the next book to be Skaven, because I'm a greedy rat. I don't expect it to be next, but I'm hoping soon. I suspect it'll be nerfed pretty hard but I'm ok with that as long as they sort out the rules. 5 pages of FAQ is crazy and even at that, there's a bunch of other questions floating out there. Equally I'd like to see lead from the back come back and popping characters out of the backs of units. That was fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iraf Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Skaven don't need a book. Just being greedy. I expect Wood Elves are next though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lady of the Lake is a Wood Elf, after all. Though, I'm not sure I want a bunch of smelly peasants muckiing about in the forest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNathanson Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Well I'd be stoked for that, I've always loved the story of an elusive Wood Nymph as the lure for a valiant (horny?) Questing Knight. Truthfully I love both armies, so whichever comes out will be a win. But I do sincerely hope that the rumors of Bretonnia being dropped by GW turn out to be false!!

mojoslayer Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I heard from a GW dude that all of the current armies will continue to be supported, but he did not know for sure which would be next but thought that Wood Elf's were being hinted at.
