Skaven would have been next but Kobold and Beastmen win before they do. I'm not too keen on ogre-kind and am kind of pleased they are dead last. Sorry GK...

That was only an example with the ogres ;)
Besides we already have 5? different ogre types. I don't even know in what direction we would take them.

I voted for the Skaven, the minis are cool and the race is very good for building adventures around and also voted for 'Gothic Horrors' as they would be cool for my plans around 'HeroQuest: House of Horror'.

That said I would like to see beastmen added to the Chaos line up so they don't have to use greenskins as their cannon fodder but I'm not a fan of Chaos Dwarves, if they should be included (and I hope not), they would have to be their own section/group, but perhaps Chaos Cultists could be included to boost Chaos in their stead.

Finally having read the poll again something to make HQ25 stand out would be a whole new group of minis in addition to some extras for the existing groups and perhaps a starting quest using Serpent Men would have that 'new' impact and at the same time would have the old-timer nod towards some of the originals of the genre and even that great bit of text in WFRP..

You know, at this point I'm inclined to just have all 3 top choices included. Plenty of quests to use them in, right?

It would fit the kind of storyline I was suggesting... *whistling*

Oh no you DID'nt!

We already established that some will just not get their favorite packs.
We even decided to go for two packs!
We created this poll to be the deciding factor in which two we get.

If we keep stepping down from earlier decisions we'll never get anywhere.
Can we please just let the poll run it's course and then stick to that?
If we start adding more and more, we might as well have went with the free-for-all option in the first place.
I personally want this to be tight. A few but well thought out monsters with a strong theme. Don't let it bleed out all over the place.

Respectfully...
:2cents:
