Chosen or Marauder. i like it "Big-Bad-Evil"  

reminds me of the old days when you spend hours converting the tabletop armies

I was curious as to how Mythic is choosing their classes, so I hopped on over to GW:

- As far as Empire is concerned, I could only find the Warrior Priest as an actual Warhammer miniature. Now obviously, Witch Hunters come from that universe and they have Mordheim miniatures, but those Knights of the Blazing Sun I can't find anywhere O.o Bright Wizards are from waaaaay back in the classic miniatures when they had all the Colleges of Magic together.

- Chaos does a little better. The Lord of Tzeentch model is actually the Magus. I wish they had gave us the Sorceror instead. Cool, tiny dude with a wicked staff. Anyways, there are actual Marauder models of course, and the Chosen is probably just one of the Knights of Chaos. I can't remember where I've seen Zealots but pretty sure they're in there somewhere, probably classic.

- Dwarfs go like so; you can find minis of ALL their classes. Granted some things are different (ie. Runelord, Master Engineer) but over all, faithful as can be.

- I was Crushed when I found out that my beloved unit of the Greenskins would not be included in this game. You know what I'm talking about. Those short guys in black robes who get hopped up on mushrooms and swing chains around that have giant metal balls on the end of them? Sigh. Anywho, same as da stuntiez go for da boyz. They all have a mini.

Speculation time, High Elves and Dak Elves.

-High Elves. Obviously will have a Mage.-Ranged DPS. Next I assume will be something along the lines of the Phoenix Guard- Tanker. Either way, I hope they put those bad ass spears into teh game. HOPEFULLY they will choose the  Shadow Warrior to be Melee DPS. If not, then I have no idea. And the Healer will be... hmm, same thing, no idea. I mean elves are about healing right, but what Elf unit heals in the Warhammer universe?

- And finally, my favorite, the Dark Elves. I PRAY TO GOD that the Tanker will be the Corsair. They look so freakin cool! Strong feeling that there are going to be Wyches(duh, the trailer) but hopefully not. Would like to see the Assassin be the Melee DPS, but it might actually be the Beast Master. Another pet class. Um, the Sorceress I guess for Ranged DPS. That's what I got

Hope you enjoyed finding out some new things and thanks for sitting through my rant. Me? Bored? Never.

Oh yeah, I'll prob play a Dark Elf 

So what's Iconic about the High Elves and Dark Elves? I mean, for High Elves I can only think Spearmen and Mages, and for Dark Elves, Wyches.

I belive that there is going to be another pet class, maybe on the elves because pet classes will be needed on both sides (just for balance) or we will see an overwhelming swarm of WoW players arriving and rolling squig herder to the point that every dwarf, will reroll to get away from masses of squigs, then the balance of the game will go to pot, i won't say what class i will pick yet but i have to say that SH is looking very nice and so is shaman, (i love orks/greenskins and have been one in every mmo fanatasy i have played). i will hold back deciding till i have seen what the elves/dark elves will be comprised of, but reading thru this thread the top classes so far are going to be
1. witch hunter
2. Squiggy
3. warrior priest
we can only speculate at this point and i do hope that they do make another pet class (even if the elves get summoned elementals or something) so the greenskins dont get too overwhelming

See, I was thinking that. And the Bestiary DOES have Giant Eagles, but only the Wood Elves tame those. The High Elves don't have tame anything.

Ok, I take that back. They do ma,e High Elf Great Eagles so yeah, that'll be the pet class if that's the case. Weird though, besides that, no other option. Maybe it'll only be available to Destruction?

here is hoping that either the squig herder is not too good then or the elves get their giant eagles, becuase it could be the class that totally unbalances the game, if only destruction gets a pet class it wont only bring the wow players to greenskins it will also being the rangers/mages from EQ ect.

The way they write about the classes makes them pretty interesting what I would probably have on my account is

Choppa, just sounds so fun and silly
Hammer, also sounds nice

.... guess I just like idea of building up power the longer I fight.

Magus also is appealing, thinking person character.

squig herder here!
