Is there any official list on the order the different armies for Warbands will be released?  What kind of time interval are you shooting for?  One new army every two months? Two opposing armies at a time? (High elves with dark Elves,etc.)

Thanks!

All I know is it is the Barbarians next followed by the Undead, and I think I have read somewhere that about one army a month is aimed for.   :)

We're aiming for 1 army per month, but that will depend on how busy we are and how much sculpting is involved at Techno's end.  Next up is the Barbarians, which are here for moulding now, and then the Undead will be after that.  Dark Elves are pencilled in after those, but we need to send some more figures down to Techno for the conversions first.

After that, there's no set list in place yet.  Some of the ranges are going to take some time, like the new Dragonmen for example, as those are going to be all new sculpts.

I'm really excited to see what Techno makes of these.   :)

Or blue skins (ice goblins).

Or...well...i might do mine as red skins (fire goblins), or yellowish 'sallow' tones as they should be...

Looking forward to the Dark Elves,  is it true there won't be not cold ones?  :(
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

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

I think blue skin in frozen wastes look spot on. Back in the day when I started HOTT Berkeley RBS did a 28mm blue goblin army. The look is great!

The Dark Elf list has no cavalry at all.

Huzzah!

Not quite the same though.  Shame,  I reckon there inclusion would have pulled a few more Warnaster players into the fold. :-\

Suspect the idea is to move away from the EE Dark Elf model...

Drow are far cooler! ;)

I will be doing some of the new Picts for Warband, they may not be enough for an army (yet) but as allies or merceenaries I think they could fit in rather well, they will add variety at the very least I think. :)

Perhaps include them in Dragonmen, taking on the Ice Goblins in the near Tundra regions.  Hmmmmmmmm.    :-\
