I think I used every race in as a games master in Runequest except ducks!

Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb! =)
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Well, Dark Elves and Hill Dwarfs since I've got armies from the company that shall not be mentioned that are painted already. For Pendraken? Don't know yet. Taurians look interesting but so do Eldritch Vamps.

Not a fan of Storm Bill, Hueymakt or Orlanth-Dewey then?! ;)

Personally I was always a fan of Ducks  :d

Now, Maidstone Archers, they were totally mental!!  8-}

Maybe we shoul start our own poll in another thread ;)

Meanwhile, if you want more Gloranthan goodness, add your voice to my suggestion in the Fantasy Bears request for Jack-O-Bears :D
(I know, even though it's fantasy  :o  ;)  )

I seem to remember Jack o Bears were quite tough :-\

It was the Harmonizing - and why they'd be cool in 10mm  :D

As would Owlbears  ;)

I am considering the Undead more than any other.

However the guys here are complaining about not playing old games and I have a lot of unpainted stuff already...  :-\ :-\ :'( 8)

Bring on the addiction!  ;D ;D ;D

Has the order of release of the various armies been declared yet?

Also I can see my next order containing some of the old fantasy armies already currently available.  Hmmm, what to get and when to get it, that just always seems to be the question.   :-\

I think Leon has said barbarians, undead and dark elves in that order but don't quote me.

Hmmm... may hold off until the formal undead army pack rolls out.  The others seem a good value.

DON'T quote me; I'd check with Leon first  ;)

Oh, don't worry.  I got about two more orders planned to round out existing armies.  I may get to it by Fall.  :D

I voted "goblin" in answer to this question, but having spent some time putting together the wild horde, deciding I need more units (thanks for the very quick order delivery Leon) and sticking as many as I can to bases (I've run out of bases and dice frames now) the next question is what will be my second army? - probably something regular and organised like High Elves. I wonder where they are in the "army revamp" schedule?

In the meantime I have a lot of figures waiting to be undercoated...

MattW

It would be nice to get a list of the order that we can expect things... I'm guessing wood elves will be last  :'(

Duke Speedy of Leighton

Released alphabetically?
Not really Pendraken's style! ;)

I think barbarians must be the least useful description in wargaming. Whom does it exclude, from some viewpoint or other?
