With only 3 armies left…what's next?

All 3 would probably be out by the end of the year/just into next year.

Then what?

Too soon for overhauls.

Expand the current armies??

With what? Old figures or new? Anything would likely have to be in the rules already, for now at least.

More new armies??

A new game/period? With more older armies brought back? Seems unlikely.

Thoughts?

A nice resource, but it comes after the fact, and doesn't say what's coming up very far ahead.

I am thinking we may end up seeing many more NEW armies, as opposed to rereleased armies.

Skaven are now heavily in AOS, so are probably out for forseeable future.

Now GW have TOW up and running for minimal cost and it seems successful, now it the time to start making money.

"Old" models "cry", models that you already have or can be bought second hand are not making GW money.

Brand new models for a now successful game can make GW money.

No surprise it appears the next release, after beastmen and woodies, is likely a brand new army.

Will it use existing empire bits? Maybe, but there will likely be mostly, if not all new.

I feel that will path the way going forward.

Personally I'd like to see a 4th?? Ex lizardmen army come back, before they became dinosaur men.

However, it's more likely they may do an earlier slann army. Perhaps with slann infantry, maybe skinks and Saurus, but I'm just making it up.

Skaven may end up being more some nighthaunts style creepys in the dark. Maybe looking like Jawas, or night goblins.

That way, fans get their armies back, but have to buy new figures as well. Everyone is, sort of, happy.

Did GW have some kind of birdmen at one point in time?

I think that you may be correct in that you get some of your figures back, but, of course, will have to buy new boxes/packs of whatever leaders, support, and war machines that they come up with.
