A shout out to DA: Will there be a second wave?
DA (and I suppost Voodoo too), do either of you know anything about a second wave of releases for our line (hopefully covering all our special chars)?

Alright, but DA you have to promise you will let us in on the secret once (if?) the day the second wave is to come out nears.
...I'm not quite sure that makes sense, so let me reiterate: Tell us (or just me!) when/if it is gonna happen once we are within a week or two or the date. Ok DA?

There will be. I have seen pics of the new dragon sculpt, new orc wyvern and new kroxigor. I take this to mean there will definately be a second wave, no clue as to when though. The joy of not signing confidentiality contracts

Well, the only thing that I can foresee getting redone at this point would be the Dark Riders. They are starting to get a little long in the tooth... Especailly considering they are one of the handful of models in the entire GW range that date back to 5th edition!
There's a rumor floating around on Warseer that there might be some kind of Cavalry release next year that might cover numerous armies. That would be kinda sweet... Maybe we'll see some Dark Riders then.
I wouldn't mind seeing our warriors get a revamp, too... but I won't hold my breath on that one.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and we have a butt load of special characters unaccounted for, too...

My understanding of the Black Dragon sculpt was that it was something that Trish had said she sculpted for fun, more or less. GW may produce it anyways though- it's a great model.
Which brings me to an interesting question that's been milling around my head. The new Dragon that GW put out for the High Elves is on a Chariot base. Are we to expect all future dragon models to be placed on a base like this?
Specifically, is the black dragon required to be mounted on a chariot base now?

GW tradition....base sizes all over the yard. It has gotten better then tanked again in terms of consistency. You can understand how changing "official" base sizes can screw with older models but why do they have to keep releasing new models with vastly different bases sizes that some that are in the current range?
5th edition transition to 6th edition was the worst in my estimation. My metal chaos marauders went from 20mm to 25mm base size. What a pain to change out all those infantry bases.

Hmm... DA already confirmed new Malus Darkblade didn't he?
I'd imagine Kouran, Hellebrone, Tullaris, Malekith might be getting models (on foot and mounted for the Crone and the King).
BSBs would be fun too you know!
And other than that... o: New cold ones for the chariots? Plastic Cold one Chariots?
Harpies that don't look like fuzzy-chested women?
Dynamic Dark Riders 'à la' Glade riders?
Different Warriors?
We'll see!

The owner/manager of the local GW "partner" store seems to have an idea that there will be a new chariot as well as a new manticore...enough of a hint that he put alot of things on 50% off to clear inventory. This from a man that only ever puts on a sale once a year at 20% off. With that in mind, I would speculate that there will more than likely be a second wave of things we haven't even considered yet. Jervis Johnson had mentioned at GD that there was something of a snafu at GW when certain people proposed the idea, and it was acted upon in spite of sculptors saying it couldn't be done, that new models could be virtually created on computer and sculpted /molds created, all by machine. Apparently the sculptors were correct and the program was trashed. Such a situation could be the reason behind second wave delays and certain models not being present in the new book. Time will tell.

I fail to see why new Dragon, Wyvern & Kroxigor sculpts have anything to do with a second wave of Dark Elf figure releases (when it seems clear from the context that the Dragon is not Dark Elf-specific).
I'm more inclined to believe that the relative paucity of new figure releases (only two plastic kits and a bare-bones smattering of character models for a range that was already hurting in those areas) are more indicative of financial trouble at GW (given the purported higher expense and slower ROI [Return On Investment] that plastic sprues produce). From a marketing standpoint, it would be more sensible to release a second wave of models fairly hard upon the first wave, to capitalize on the "band wagon" effect and increased fervor in the hobby community that the release of a new army book produces.
For my own self, I'm also interested to see if there will be any Online Exclusive Dark Elf models to help supplement the range (as this appears to be the new way of doing things...).

If you're thinking of the same threadas I do, then no. He was referring to the new sorceress.

I don't think there would be a new dragon at all. When the High Elf one came out There were posters in my GW saying: "not just for High elves, look at our conversions!" with a conversion for each army on the poster. So I would be surprised if there was a new dragon (certainly wouldn't be disappointed though...)
