Since Collission Detection is in this game , I would love to see Night Goblin Fanatics spinning around and knocking anyone that stands in their way  with their huge ball and chain. That would be interesting and funny to see.


Anyway about races not out , I just wonder if they'd think of of remembering the Chaos Dwarfs . They are an army of their own and they are Dwarfs that actually cast spells and ride big creatures like the great Taurus and Lamasu.

I think in expansions to come the possibilities out there are quite a number and here's a number from me, Skaven, Bretonians, Wood Elves, Lizardmen, Other 3 Chaos Gods Khone, Nurgle, Slaanesh, Vampire Counts, Tom Kings and Chaos Beastmen army. Hmmm it would be interesting to be a Big Minotaur lol but if thats possible then some guys would maybe flame oh they are like Tauren having a big hairy type of character .

Anyway yeah as I mentioned before, Chaos Dwarfs would be interesting race I think since I want a dark side of Dwarfs instead of being good.

12000 points of Bretonnians and still growing

Doubt they'll ever see light of day in WAR though or not till the last expansion due to the human box being firmly ticked by the Empire. Think I'll have to defect across the border and put on some puffy trousers and grow a handle bar tosh.

Horus was weak. Horus was a fool. He had the whole galaxy within his grasp and he let it slip away.

OMFG 12000 points? Can you give me a rough estimate how many models you actully enquire and use?

...Oh I want to start playing again *sniff *sniff I miss using my Dark Elf Chariots, so much carnage.

But yeah with Bretonnians related to WAR, maybe if mounted combat becomes a huge factor we'll get to see some Bretonnians enter the mix. If mounted combat isn't implemented, perhaps some Knights on Foot? Men-at-Arms Captains? Bretonnians have an awesome model range with the revamp and offer a great alternative Human civilization evolving around chivalric knights and fleur de lys.

Ogre Kingdoms anyone? Maybe not a potential playable race but perhaps a whole new zone to explore and combat in? Would be really sweet having to protect a Dwarf caravan from rampaging Bull Ogres!

Hmmm never really counted how many models there were all told but somewhere between 350 and 400. Lots of Knights of the Realm and archers in plastics.

I use alot of quite regulary, there formed into roughly 3 4000 point armies, ones old stuff from the first range that came out with 5th edition, got some defunct models like a Lord on a Dragon I converted myself.

Then the other 2 armies are the new style models, split up into a more conventional army and an all peasant affair.

I've played both of these 2 armies in tournaments, the all peasant army was amusing to play if not terribly effective

There are no stupid questions. There are, however, a lot of inquisitive idiots.

Wood elves, solely for the waywatcher (mind you with two elf races in already wood elves will probably never make an appearance)

WARHAMMER is great and good thing they dont make a W40K version. It would play too fast and their would be too much shooting.

And hopefully they will introduce new races in expansion. And how do you know they don't have khorne or nurgle the WAR website only show 2 out of 4 so far. Tzeentch and a Chaos Undivided Chosen warrior.

Best is CHAOS...

I honestly am so sick of High elfs and elfs in fantasy games. First off they look totally gay. They also remind me of rich ass holes. Does anyone else hate the Light skinned, Gay, know it all, rich assholes that we would call elfs in the these type of games?

I hate to be the bringer of bad news but they have decided to only have Tzeentch as the one and only chaos god. The chosen warrior is not undivided but Tzeentch as well. Hence the reason he is blue and has a bird heads on his knee plates.

I dont know anyone in the fanbase that is happy about this. Mythic  just sticks with the Because we can attitude of why they chose one god. I honestly dont think it is that much more work to add the others but oh well.

You can't beat the undead, especially Tomb Kings!!!

But if skaven ever get put into the game that will be great too. I think if they do they will have a main enemy like the other races. I believe it would be the lizardmen.

Anyway, when Warhammer Online comes out I'm going to be a dwarf (Engineer)

The greenskins don't stand a chance against the dwarves!

I too despise the stereotype of the typical elf. Wise and beautiful yet sleek and deadly. What the crap?!?

What I do like about Warhammer however is they don't play this stereotype too much.

The High Elves are very advanced in the ways of magic and warfare and have a very professional government and army/navy. They are extremmely arrogant and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty when the time comes. They have excellent archers and ranged attacks but they also have formidalble cavalry and the best defense regiments in the game (SPEARMEN, SWORDMASTERS, and WHITE LIONS woot!). These High Elves remind me of a very Imperialistic Japan circa early 20th century.

The Dark Elves are extremmely kickass. I played a 2000pt army with them and loved every minute of it. From Cold One Chariots to Executioners to War Hydras, this race of Dark Elves are anything but gay and rich assholely (<--that a word ). Not to mention they have some very sweet looking models and awesome armor concepts. Just wait till Mythic releases some pics of heavy armored Dark Elves such as the Black Guard, Executioners, or Spearman/Crossbowman. Oh man I think when that happens 1/2 the Chaos population will switch to being Dark Elf.

Now Wood Elves (yes, Wood Elves is what they are called...) are the best ranged attackers in the Warhammer Universe. In the table top you could field an army where every single model/unit could throw/shoot something. These are your stereotypical tree-hugging elves with the pale skin and "Oh look at me and my pretty bow..." crap. Yet since Games-Workshop revamped this race I gotta give these W.Elves credit, they can dish it out. They also re-vamped several treekin based units (maybe we'll see these as monsters in WAR?!? ) like those seen as the Ents in LOTR.

With all this said, add a touch of gore and blood and a hefty tea spoon of gothic artistry and Warhammer produces some of the finest elves I've ever seen.
