I think things are fine on the coarse they are heading when things get settled down.

To be honest, I'd rather see the rules being perfected for new teams before the models are released..

Until Khemri/Rotters/Necromantic/God knows what next are considered official then I won't buy the teams... why release beautiful models when the rules are still sketchy at best..?????

Nice Ogres, but the rules are very poor... I think Fanatic and the BBRC have to consider the order of events more carefully... :-?

So, that would be the 'a new team on occasion' option, correct?

I voted "New team on occasion" because there are still gaps, and if we'd taken the "no new teams" route a few years back we'd be minus Norse, Amazons and Lizardmen.

I honestly believe that without there being new teams people will not buy as many minis. That said, I'd love to see some new Dwarf figs.

I'd like to see new minis for the existing teams but, I agree, there's room for the occasional new team too. I don't mind seeing new teams arrive, I'd just like to see a little more thought/testing put into them. I also DO NOT want to see ANY new team take the place of any of the originals. I'm thinking of the replacing of the Undead roster here.

I voted new minis for existing teams, but alternate figs would be fine too. I see them as too close to call. No balance issues, sell more figs, improve the quality of figs...everyone wins. Why doesn't GW take the easy way out?

i voted wrong, didn't read all the options properly.

i actually would prefer new minis for some or all of the official 15 teams. i am (currently) the one curmeudgeon who voted 'no new nuthin' :P

i think there should be some new minis for the teams we've had for a while. i like the idea of a new team every once in a while but i HATE the idea of dismantling teams so they get more money out of releasing 3 teams in it's place. the undead have been around for a decade or more in this game. leave them(and all the other existing teams) alone.

do we REALLY need another elf team?

They need to fix up the current crappy looking minis, while ocasionaly releasing new teams, and new proxie models.

Currently they are only putting out new teams.

First thing they need to do is get a new orc team, they are by far the uglest of the current line. I would love to do a team of them, but the models throw me off.

I voted for no. 2 as it is nice to have some continuity. However, I'm aware that if things stop progressing and moving on then they will get stagnant and interest will wane. One good point about releasing lots of new teams, no matter how flawed, is that they will all attract new people to play and keep things different/interesting.

True fans of the game will keep playing even if the new teams suck.

I guess all I am saying is that change is inevitable, and we have to be accomodating to some degree...
