As we all know the Wood Elves are coming out very soon. This brings me to my question. What is GW going to do for Fantasy after the Wood Elves?

Another new race like the Ogre Kingdoms? Work on the next edition? Just curious to what people have heard or made up.

Current Fantasy Armies:
Dark Elves
Empire

There where some strange rumours about haflings in the begining af 6:th ed, but they disapered quickly, but who knows.

I believe 7th Ed. is next.

After that I think they're starting to revamp the old armies. Adding new armies isn't high on their list at the moment, I don't believe. They have enough to do already.
...And all this time I thought there was only one way to "retire" from the Council! What you call "retire", I call a "stay of execution"..whats in a word? DM Mik!

My buddy keeps hoping for some Chaos Dwarf rumours. I don't think GW is going to give them an army book.

I think GW declared that they will not do a chaos dwarf army book (unless they change their minds about it). Dev

I agree it's most likely they do the next edition. Since we just got the ogres relatively recently, it's unlikely they'll pull out a new army again.

I think I heard that GW said they're not doing any more human armies for a long time, so Norse is out as is Araby and the others.

Chaos Dwarves will prally either see a book or packet, but I would guess that would be quite a bit AFTER 7th Ed. I just can't see them doing it before, although it would be cool...

They're updating dwarfs, which should be coming out with new minis and possibly an updated rulebook in Dec '05- Jan '06.

Whats next, who knows. But I will tell you this, don't call it quits on Chaos Dwarves. They have been mentioned at least once in WD for the past 5 issues. The most recently being that Chaos Dwarves can take an Amazon witch lady thing. Further, the Chaos Cannon is crewed by Chaos Dwarves...so we know what they will look like.

As for Norse...look for them in an upcoming issue of WD.

If Norse was ever done I hope they are not part of Chaos. Chaos already gets everything. Aren't Maraurders Norse or Norse background?

I heard something about Halflings coming up next. It's probably not true though.

If so they'd probebly only be another sub-unit for the Empire or something like that. I really doubt that they would ever be a full army.

I'd love to see a Cathayan army book. ^_^

But like Llamarama I also believe 7th edition is going to be next.

I am not here to be nice.
My dark elf playing brother has heard some rumours that dark elfs is going to get more plastic boxes since they only have one. Sounds like a fair deal ;) .

Though I don't think that a dwarfs would likely turn to chaos, chaos dwarfs has always had great figures. I hope they'll come in the next edition. ^_^
We are living on this world on rented time and now we can't pay the rent
We have thrown out our garbage into the corridor and we have clogged the toilet
We have annoyed the neighbors and we have pissed off the landlord
We have stolen all the wares from the nature and we have poisoned our veins with greed
We have powered our hearts with a false promise that we aren't so bad and we have told ourself that everything happens for reason
We say that we will be forgiven and that all we do will ok when we die
We do not deserve to be spared and we deserve to burn
For the anquish we have caused this world
We deserve to burn
