According to the latest White Dwarf, come June we will be seeing some more Guard tanks being released alongside some for the Eldar (who will apparently be getting a "new" vehicle).
Advance details of these tanks will apparently be in WD 366. Could these new tanks include the much debated variant artillery? Maybe a full plastic version of the Hydra?... or have GW gone mad and prepared a Deathstrike Missile launcher (think of the kids...)
A mix of wonder and dread...

There's also the possibility of a Russ/Eradicator/Exterminator combined kit to match the Demolisher/Executioner/Punisher one.
I'd prefer to see some of our Arty variants, though. The Colossus for first choice, since it doesn't have any Model available anywhere, and is an amazingly nasty piece of work. Griffon/Medusa or Hydra/Manticore combined Kits would also be nice.

I'm actually holding off on buying forgeworld models now to wait and see what it is that is coming out

Well, not to pour too much water on peoples expectations, but just remember the Basiliks kit. It was just repackaged to have the "New" Chimera body. Not saying that that's all we'll see, just don't get to excited. There used to be a kit for the Exterminator - maybe that will just get returned to the shelves with it's autocannons done in plastic rather then metal.

The Exterminator is what I'm hoping for more then anything. I'm actually going to be playtesting it more these days, to see if I do want one or two when they come out. I'm just hoping that it looks more like the Gryphonne one then the Ryza one.
One thing I'm 90% sure of is we'll be seeing the Hull and Sponson options we got with the Executioner/Demolisher kit, and probably the new tracks as well.

I'm really hoping it's not a Deathstrike...

Heresy... Heresy I tell you!

I made a list once with 3 deathstrikes, just for giggles. One launched on the second turn, and a second on the 3rd. It was devistating, to both armies... /sigh
BUT! You said not to get excited because the basilisk was repackaged on the new chimera model. Here's a though, what if the new chimera model, is what GW needed to make all the new cool tanks? Most of our tanks are on the chimera hull. Maybe they put the new chimera out and basi out first to try and phase in the new base to prepare us for awesomeness?
Please don't squelch my dreams. They're the only thing holding my hopes together

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
Man, it's like you people didn't play DoW...
Also, check pg 53 of the rule book. Hope is the beginning of unhappiness.
;D

Quotes. I think it's also in the 4th ed rule book.

You've got to give some love to the old (old old) Epic Deathstrike models - a wacking great rocket on the back of what looked like a Transit Van (mine even ended up painted white...) Please don't squelch my dreams. They're the only thing holding my hopes together *shakes head sadly, then sets stovrose on fire* For your Heresy in the form of "Hope" *continues burning random things in anticipation of the Deathstrike model* I can only balance out the Heresy of a Deathstrike model if I start burning things/Heretics now... ofcourse, if the model isn't released, it'll just be good practice

The dreaded Vibra-strike destroys all men, pleases all women... See, now that is a NONE Heretical Deathstrike - homemade, impressive, fun, and suitably over the top with 40k goodness! The Inquisition approves. In fact... I may have to make a similar one... though I think mine would have to be based on the Epic one... with a Transit Van lookalike as the transport

Trust me small didn't look well, if you look at the epic scale the size is right. I still have too add fins and paint and yes i admit it looks like a phallic symbol and its copied from the war seer site. And I didn't see any adolescent smack talk there,Maybe a different class of hobbyist? But its mine and I made it!

Calm, jerbat, calm. We're only having a little fun (admittedly at your expense, but still). Seriously, it's only a joke.
