Following the discussion in the 40k forum, there is an easy (and boring) explanation for this miniature:
It is the Spanish GW Games Day. Juan Diaz is the Spanish sculptor of these miniatures. All miniatures are officially unreleased but sometimes many years old (like the SM character and the Farseer) and some even unofficially released (sold on ebay). So all these miniatures including the lizard are just a showroom for the work of the national GW sculptor. No new lizardman (or Eldar, or Blood Angels) release in the near future. Sorry to shatter some hopes here.

In WD issue 338 on page 13 there is a picture of the cover of the first Warhammer rule book.
Aly Morrison is currently working on a special edition miniature of "Harry the Hammer", the dwarf on the cover of the first edition of WFB.
To honour the classic and iconic image of the rule book.
and in celebration of WFB's 25 birthday

'Harry the Hammer' is not a Dwarf. He is a Chaos Warrior.

Cheers.
Harry

Edit: Also it was not the rulebook. It was the box art.
The first edition was three rulebooks in a box.

Also the model has been finished for some time, and the model is not based on that artwork. There is a new piece of artwork based on the old piece, the new one has been used to create the model.

There is also an Orc model for the release of Warhammer Online.

VC are next WFB release after HE, that is that, no grey areas at all. DE should be after that, then other projects being worked on are Skaven, DE, and Chaos (both Daemons & Mortals), and I was told a long time ago that CD would come back in 2009. It is really too early to accurately predict the order as it depends on so many variables, i.e. design, sculpting, casting, painting, rules/army book writing, playtesting, market forces etc.

IF I had to guess I would look at it being similar to this (this IS JUST A GUESS!)

HE - Oct/Nov 07
VC - Mar/Apr 08
DE - Jul/Aug 08
Chaos - Q4 08
Skaven - Q1 09
CD - 09

Although I wouldn't be surprised to see DE & Chaos trade places.

I am reliably told that the one book for WFB & W40k Daemons is inaccurate, it was a format that was considered, but it was decided it would require too much compromise and be ultimately too clumsy to pull off. I expect WFB & W40k Daemons to be released at the same time, but with seperate Army Book & Codex resapectively.



I am now certain that DE & Chaos will switch places on that list though.

2007
November: High Elves

2008
January: Orks
February: Lord of the Rings : Serpents
March: Vampire Counts
April: Lord of the Rings : Mordor
May: Daemons

Remember the rumours that this would be a limited release, like the limited gobbo fanatics?

Well guess what i've just found on the Collecting Citadel Miniatures Wiki, in the greens section:

This suggests that it won't be released, which is a pity as it's a stunner!

Anyone know if this will see the light of day?

Sorry if people don't think this is worth a new thread for.

I have recieved a number of requests to post the rumours from The Watchman from members without the bandwidth or otherwise having problems with the download. So, with the kind permission of The watchmans Editor, here it is, as it was submitted, shocking spelling and Grammar and everything Hope this helps.

(I have no idea if this differs from the article as it appeared in The Watchman as I have been unable to download it succesfully myself!)

THE WORD ON THE STREET FROM THE WATCHMAN

WHATS NEXT FOR WARHAMMER FANTASY BATTLE?

Fantasy Buildings and Terrain (June 2007 Onwards?)
More releases (for Orcs, Dwarfs, Empire). (May, June, July 2007 in that order.)
Mighty Empires (July 2007)
High Elves (Was Summer 2007 Seems to be getting later and later!)
Summer Campaign (Summer 2007 obviously!)
Vampire Counts (Was Autumn 2007 Seems it may also be later).

After this everything is (even more!) subject to change but, I am confident Dark Elves will be the next army book to be updated. (In 2008 originally I understood it was to be early in 2008 but it is also getting pushed later.)
Having said that, the Chaos project may be ‘gathering momentum’ and ‘coming up on the outside’ with a ‘late challenge’ and it really would not surprise me if we saw something for chaos first.
There have been a number or rumours recently about Chaos. These are based on a number of sightings of figures leading people to the conclusion that Chaos is the next army after HE and VC. However I believe that the signals are being misinterpreted. I don’t think the book will be along for a little while. I think It is a big (and important) project that the Games Workshop developers want to get right. However, I don’t think Chaos fans will have to wait for the book until they get a little something new for their armies. (Cough, Knights, Cough, battalion box set, Cough, Cough.)

Predicting a release order for anything further ahead than this is so likely to change its not even worth it! But for what it is worth I have heard about work being done for, Skaven as well as Chaos and Dark Elves and for some other ‘more neglected’ armies. I’ll tell you more about this next time.


FANTASY BUILDINGS AND TERRAIN.

First to come are some new modular Gameboards. These will link together like a Jigsaw to make you as big a wargames table as you require!
Then there will be two new kits for woods. One makes a little wood and one makes a big wood! These are made with plastic trees.
Then come the buildings I have heard about four different ones so far there may be more (but I am not going to spoil all the surprises.) Available individually.
Some of these can be combined with a wall kit to make one big ‘fortified manor house type thing’ which will be available to buy as a kit.
Then there will be a really big terrain set, (like the complete Cities of Death kit).

WHAAAAAAGHT ELSE IS STILL TO COME FOR ORCS AND GOBLINS?

Well there are these.....

INSERT PHOTO’S OF BLORC SPRUES

I think these may have been done entirely on computer. No green stuff involved. (The world we live in. I remember when toy soldiers ……)
Obviously there is Gorbad., but also some new Boar Boys to go with him. (And possibly a new Boar chariot or at least the old one updated with the new boars)
New common Trolls. (As seen at Gamesday UK this year).
The Giant cave squig is done and the Gigantic spider. (but don’t get too excited about this one, its just the same as the spider riders spider, only bigger!)
I have heard conflicting rumours about problems with Azhag, (over scale), but it seems he is still set for release this summer. Azhags Wyvern is said to be very nice, poised for attack with on wing tip stuck in the ground for balance. Azhag is said to be Huge!
However, this would seem to be a different Wyvern to the ’masters series’ one with its tail wrapped around the rock described months ago by Hastings. I am not sure this one will make it into production. What I heard, right or wrong, is that it was too big for the plastic moulds and too heavy to be made in metal and as a result will be passed to Forgeworld to do in resin. (just as the Eldar Avatar was recently). But it is possible that some of the rumours about dragons and wyverns have got mixed up and this story is about a different dragon model entirely!

MEGA NEWS

In 40K you can buy an all plastic Mega Forces for some/most armies. (sorry don’t know much about 40K) This is comimg to Warhammer Fantasy Battles. From this summer you will be able to buy, all plastic Mega Warhammer armies. No Rulebook, no metal miniatures, no special Limited Edition miniatures. Just a huge box full of all the plastic for an army.
The first Mega Warhammer box will be for Orcs and be followed by Mega Warhammer deals for Empire and Dwarfs.

WHAT ELSE IS STILL TO BE SET IN STONE FOR DWARVES?

There is a much rumoured Plastic Dwarf Lord (and Battle Standard Bearer ?) set. The Lord obviously come with the option of shield and bearers and if there isn’t an oath stone on the sprue somewhere I’ll eat my horned helmet!
I have heard about new plastic Miners. This will be a full multi part kit not more of the Battle for Skull Pass chaps.
And I have even heard ‘grumbles’ about a plastic Flame cannon.
I know, I know, I’ll be having you believe next there will be plastic Dwarf slayers! (Well, I would if I could get this rumour confirmed from a second source!)

WHAT ELSE IS STILL TO COME…’FOR SIGMAR!’

There will be Karl Franz on a selection of different mounts (Deathclaw, Dragon and Pegasus). The Dragon is a Large plastic kit! Like the Giant it will come with lots of extras for customisation. (NOTE: Modelling options not parts to make it into a dragon for other races! E.g. Chaos or undead!)
There will NOT be a new Balthasar Gelt., Luther Huss Or even Volkmar,
However, I predict a new plastic Arch Lector/War Alter kit. (but this will not be for a little while.)
As has already been rumoured by Hastings there should be a new Plastic sprue for the Knightly Orders and contrary to everything I had heard before there now seem to be rumours of new plastic barded horses!
Januarys White Dwarf (WD325) seems to suggest some pieces from a new knightly orders/Knights of the empire sprue have been used in conversions (as part of a project in the back pages and also as part of the Modelling Generals article). Whilst these may be incorrect it suggests that at least one person at WD thinks the set exists! Also there are some incredible concept sketches from the talented hand of David Gallhager included in the fantastic ‘The Empire at war’ background book. (Which I recommend to all fans of the Empire or indeed any warhammer fans.) However I can get NO conformation that new Knights or knights horses are on their way so this remains to be seen.
However, I have heard rumours about both the two remaining infantry units not yet available in plastic being done. Flaggellants and Greatswords!
We will get both the Helstorm Rocket Launcher and a new plastic Helblaster Volley Gun. (Although, I had heard, the planned combined Helstorm/Helblaster plastic kit got scrapped because too many compromises to the designs of the machines were required to make them from the same kit.
There is also a rumour about a plastic steam tank that will not go away. However, I have heard about other ‘bigger things’ to come for Warhammer and I think the steam tank may be part of this, in the future. So watch this space.
When all this is done ‘the goal’ of the first complete plastic army for warhammer would be achieved except for a few characters…If they included another warrior priest on foot in my ‘predicted’ Arch Lector/War Alter kit that would only leave Engineers and Battle Wizards in metal. So the following ‘unconfirmed’ rumour, seen in this context, sounds possible.
From the ‘engineers school’, I have an unconfirmed rumour about an engineer model/kit/blister? Plastic/metal??? that comes with two separate engineers and all the different weapon options. If metal it may even utilize the same engineers arm sprue that was part of the Engineer on mechanical steed kit.
I have saved the best for last. I have heard from a number of sources about new set of Four different plastic Battle wizards!

HI ELVES

Let me say up front. I have decided not to discuss the contents of the High Elf army book. If for no other reason than its not finished yet! It still only exists as a partially completed document and will not even exist as a ‘draft’ PDF document for at least a month. I just don’t think it is fair to start to pull something to pieces before its even been put together. (And I have decided, even though he never phones and he never writes, that I like Adam Troke)
Anyway it will give me something to write about next issue! (Only joking, Adam. Well the odd little ‘snippet’ never did any harm.)

There will be Plastic kits for characters mounted and foot. (One for Princes and Commanders and another for Mages).
In addition there will be a plastic Dragon kit. (75Hastings69 posted this on warseer months ago) This is the one flying horizontally like the old Dragon Masters dragon (for those who remember that far back). It will come with various rider options to represent different character options who can ride it.
I have heard about a High Elf riding an eagle but I have no idea whether this is a character model or suggests a change to the current entry for Eagles in the list!
Martin Footit is the name I have heard in connection with new plastic troops and Steve Saleh has made a couple of characters. Steve Saleh did lots of stuff for the Wood Elves and Martin Footit is the guy who did those fantastic High Elf Heroes and Mages a little while back (for the Lustria campaign) so if those minis are anything to go by, I am pretty excited the new stuff.
I have heard about plastic box sets for spearmen. Not with other options as with recent Empire and Dwarf core troops. However, I have heard that you will be able to customise these to represent different provinces. (using add on bits for the helms and spears , etc.)
New High Elf cavalry plastics. The horses would seem to be the wood elf horses with possibly optional barding. I have heard nothing about the riders.
I have heard about from a couple of sources about new character models for Lothern Sea guard including a Sea guard Captain/Commander with a Sea hawk on his wrist and a standard bearer with a carved wooden leg. The art work for the seaguard is a lot more ‘gritty’ than the old look. (More ‘sea dog’ than Sea Elf!) I don’t know if these are part of a bigger ‘redo’ of the Sea Guard models or not.

There has been just one or two hints, rumours, confirmations (and a few disagreements!) about a ‘Lion chariot’ on Warseer.
So here are some facts:
There will be a new plastic High Elf Chariot kit. (Yes, Plastic!)
This has been sculpted by Dave Thomas. (Dave Thomas is the man responsible for Marneus Calgar, the Command Squad for Space Marines and Vostorians in 40K, various Lord of the Rings minis and, more recently, and the remarkable new Kurt Helborg.)
Much as the Kurt Helborg was an update of the older mini rather than a ‘new’
mini, the same could be said of this chariot. It has some similarity in design to the current chariot, its a development. (Clearly from the same race, etc.) so they should sit OK next to each other nicely on the table. It is a true multi-part kit with lots of bits and bobs to customise your chariot and it comes with the option of Lion ‘steeds’.

I had suggested on Warseer that this ‘Lion Chariot’ would cause fear this was based on the fact that I felt a lion would scare the crap out of me. (Especially if one could bring down a cold one by the throat, but that’s another story.)
However, it is now my understanding that it will NOT cause fear and so as far as I am aware there will be no new fear causing unit/model in the High Elf list.
I make a point of this only to clear up my own earlier, incorrect, assumption. (This could still change. It may be yet be decided that lions should cause fear (and its not just me being a girl.) Then again, maybe, if you live in a world of Dragons and Trolls, Lions would not be such a fearsome creature!)


SUMMER CAMPAIGN (MY NEMESIS)

I have heard so many conflicting things, and put forward so many different ideas on Warseer and changed my mind on this so many times…..
…..but out of all of this here is everything I know for sure about this summers campaign.
1) There will be a campaign
2) It will be in the summer.

Joking aside January’s White Dwarf will make it clear that this summers campaign will be for Warhammer Fantasy Battle and will be called ‘The Nemisis War’ or the ‘The Nemesis Crown campaign’. (These are used interchangeably).
It will revolve around the hunt to recover the mysterious Nemesis crown. ‘an ancient Dwarf magical artifact of terrifying power’ that has ‘lain hidden from the eyes of mortals for millennia’. It seems this crown was made by Alaric the Mad, the Dwarf who made the Runefangs for the Empire and then disappeared. Apparently it has ‘resurfaced’ (the Crown not the Dwarf!) somewhere in the old world millennia later.
I have heard each army will get a new special character and these will be the main protagonists in the quest to snatch the crown for their race. Other than the releases already mentioned I am not sure if there will be any additional releases for other races.
More about the Nemesis War next time!


I FEEL LIKE DEATH

I have heard about some very exciting developments for the undead.
John Blanche took on the Concept artwork for the Vampire Counts as a ‘personel project’ to help provide a more unified feel. (Oh my goodness, I am as nervous about what the ‘feel’ will be as I am excited by this news!) I am imagining a pretty different (more ‘Games Workshop’ look). I think it puts rumours of a more ‘constructed’ look for zombies into perspective.
As a result the entire figures range will be re-vamped (teehee, gets me every time) with new minis for almost everything.
Brian Nelson has made new skeleton ‘dollies’ and Aly Morrison and Mike Anderson are producing various skeleton derived troops based on these. I have heard about three or four different unit options. (I assume, not only will this give us skeletons and armoured skeletons but some new Grave guard as well. (Possibly with different weapons options. Cough, Halberds Cough). (Brian and Aly need no introduction. Mike is a winner of Golden Demons and having been sculpting for fanatic he has, recently, done the impressive new Skarsnik model and been involved in all the new Empire plastics (with Brian, Aly and Steve Saleh) and is the man who did those fantastic new Warrior Priests. After their, hugely successful, collaboration on the Empire plastic troops I am very excited to see what they do working together on Skellies. I think if the Empire troops are anything to go by we can look forward to some much more dynamic, detailed and characterful skeletons than the current set.
Seb Perbett I think is doing new Ghouls. (He is known for winning Golden Demon Statues and Various 40K stuff Vostorians? Tau? I think? Sorry Seb. Don’t do 40K)
Trish Morrison (On monsters. No surprises there) is doing new plastic ‘night creatures set’ I have heard specifically about Dire wolves but I assume new bats. Normal, vampire bat swarms and giant fell bats but have no details. I don’t even know that these troop choices will make it into the new book.)
In terms of characters, Gav Thorpe has been quoted as saying that he thinks the bloodlines are too restrictive and that players should be able to have a more individual vampires, not limited by the bloodlines. If the book allows for more individual vampires to be created I do not anticipate a character plastic kit, as we have seen for other races, for vampires but rather a large selection of vampire models much like we have seen recently with the goblin characters so that players can find one that most closely resembles their image of a vampire.
Having said this I would not rule out a plastic kit for the Necromancers who will have a more significant role to play in the new undead army.
Also I have heard that Wraiths return as a unit to the list and there will also be some ‘unexpected additions’ and the return of some old, old favourites.


MIGHTY EMPIRES

Mighty Empires is being re-released. This will not be as a stand alone game board game (as it was in the past) but more as a campaign supplement for linking your Warhammer Fantasy Battles.
It will come with plastic tiles which will allow you to build a plastic 3D world (or reproduce a part of the ‘Old World’) with little mountains, rivers and forests and coastlines in which to base your games.
There will be army specific sets of ‘army banners’ (counters to represent your armies) as well as the villages, cities, castles, etc. used in the game.
However, I really hope this system is just be part of a larger package to support your warhammer games. I was told that siege would be the first thing released in support of warhammer. I was also told that there would be support for playing warhammer in different ways…developments to the ‘special features’ system in the rule book, big battles, big boats, etc. I have heard little about these recently.
I hope what they might have done is made the decision that there was not enough material to take each of these ideas and make separate supplements but instead they have rolled some of them into one. In effect they could have done a re-write of the Generals Compendium. Including its best bits and a whole lot more. It was a fantastic book, just chock full of great ideas to expand the ways in which to enjoy warhammer. But completely ‘unofficial’!
Jeremy Vetock, who was one of the co-writers of that book, and Chad Mierzwa, one of the other members of the, very talented, hobby team involved in that project, are now based in the UK studio. Jeremy Vetock is Hobby team manager.(title?)
I hope that the UK studio have done an ‘official’ version of this. A warhammer extension/supplement that could include: Campaign system based on the old Mighy Empires. (complete with plastic tile system.) Map based campaigns (complete with map), Scenario generators, maybe include Nigel Stilmans excellent ‘The night before battle’ rules article?, Rules for big battles, multiplayer battles rules for using contingents from different armies, lots of new scenarios, lots of new ‘special features’ developing the stuff in the rule book, Etc, Etc….All in one Big Box! Oooohh! Sir! Pleeeease let it be so.
Now please bear in mind that I am really going ‘out on a limb’ here and this ‘theory’ is based on ‘very little’ (read ‘No’) actual facts. For all I know it is just the campaign system. And that’s it. The rest of it could all be planned for separate supplements. But you know me. I do like to get excited about what they might do!
I am now fairly sure that Siege rules and rules for using big boats (like ‘Warhammer Ahoy” from Gamesday or the rules in the generals compendium) Will not be part of this supplement. I think they must be coming later or I would have heard more about it by now!.

Hey,

A few months ago I was at a Warhammer Tournament where I played against a GW store employee from Canada. Anyway, I using Grom in my Goblin army and he told me that there was going to be a new Grom's Chariot model, but just the Chariot itself would be new - Grom and Niblit will be the same classic models on a new chariot.

Anyway, that is the only time I've heard anything like this - can anyone confirm this? Or has anyone else heard anything about a new Grom's Chariot.

Thanks,

Kevin out

[...]

Also prepare to see new Plastic "Mega Force" style WFB sets. The first of which will be O&G before Summer it will be total plastic box and cost 100GBP. After that we can expect Empire & Dwarves Mega Warhammer boxes, when the rest of the plastic projects for BOTH of those armies are finished (and yes I do know what they are).

New Chaos Plastics are on the way, which could well include Chaos Knights

New rules would be for city fight and siege. Also have been told the Mighty Empires re-release will be part of an expaned campaign rules set.

There is a new Dragon for HE, but it is not on all fours, that is a different plastic dragon. The HE one is in a flying position.

There are currently four unreleased Dragon types knocking around the studio!
Not a kit to make four dragons...four different dragon kits.

The buildings in the Army book (and indeed in the ogre kingdoms book!) were (I believe) made by Dave Andrews as 'Flats'.
These are one off sculptures that are....flat!
He then sends these 'downstairs' to have moulds made of them.
Once he has these moulds he then casts what he needs ...himself..in resin. (so they have a limited life and are just for his use.) For any of you who have been to warhammer world this is how many of the buildings on the tables there have come into being.
This is why they have Dave Andrews style and level of detail and why some parts appear more than once in different buildings.
This is also why some of the buildings appear to be half moulds and half finished 'by hand'.

These buildings are, as a result one off sculpts....done for photos etc.
They will not be released as games workshop products. (As stated by Jedi and Hastings above.)
(Although presumably with the computer kit they have now they could scan them to produce moulds for plastic sprues. So who knows....but I suspect they will remain one off pieces)

However......
Colin Grayson...has also been working on fantasy houses...to be produced in Plastic Kits.
These are the ones I described months ago. The two sided ones. (I won't describe them again here)
He produced a number of pieces....However...I'm not sure whether it was Colin or 'the powers that be' that were not happy with the finished results...(I think they looked a bit 'clean' or the tile idea did not work so well as it did for the 40k buildings maybe but they just didn't look right)...whatever the reason a stack of work got shelved and Colin started again. (Hence they disappeared off the radar.)

It is now my understanding that he has redone these buildings and 'nailed it' and he (and everyone else!) is VERY happy with the final results. So Given the standards these guys set themselves I am expecting these to be some serious 'eye candy' for the center of your gaming tables. (although I have no idea what buildings these will represent.)

It is also my understanding that we will see these sooner rather than later. (*I'm thinking 6-12 Months.)....and that they will be just part of a series of scenery releases for Warhammer fantasy battles (including Hills and Woods/trees as well as buildings)

It is my understanding that these buildings will not have the modular/interchangableness that the city of death buildings had but will be more individual, stand alone buildings...although the serious modeller will still be able to combine them to make unique buildings.

I think Hastings maybe quoting me when he says some of these buildings have been 'signed off'
What I was refering to is..... I don't think it has been ruled out that some of the best/most succesful of the earlier work (the building tiles previously described) might also be released...at some point...maybe!

heres the story as I heard it...
The original buildings were indeed modular, made from universal tile pieces.They worked well and were versatile,however....

...the compromises to the designs to enable universal fittings for these tile pieces were so great that it seriously affected the actual design of the buildings themselves,it was felt that the end product was dull and didn't have any warhammer character.What would have been produced was deemed too 'boxy' and generic.
Whether the original designs will ever surface I dont know,perhaps, but for the initial release a bit more specific warhammer wackiness was requested.

For the 10th anniversary of Games Workshop Germany this Special Mini will be available!

http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/9397/chaoschampwg2.jpg

- Scheduled for fourth quarter 2007 (provided by 75hastings69)

- New metal Necrarch models have been spotted (provided by 75hastings69)

- Expect plenty of new plastic sets

- Rumoured to be getting a unit of ogre-sized Flesh Golem creatures (provided by 75hastings69)

- Gav Thorpe has denied rumours of plastic Ghouls and Dire wolves as well as the existance of a new unit type of Werewolves.

Rumoured to not be a priority.
At Games Day Atlanta (mid-march 06) Graham McNeill reportedly stated that GW wanted to redesign the entire look of the army. This matches earlier rumours.
