I just saw this:

GW Online : Warhammer : The Top 25 Warhammer Miniatures (http://uk.games-workshop.com/warhammer/25miniatures/25miniatures/)

What do you all think will be filling in the final few gaps?

I reckon we will see:
Archaon on Daemonic Steed
Dwarf Daemon Slayer with 2 handed axe
Wood Elf Noble with Great Weapon
The Grand Theogonist
The Green Knight
Dark Elf Sorceress on foot
Dwarf Lord (*this* (http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.uk?do=Individual&code=99060205117&orignav=13) one)
Kroq Gar on Carnosaur
Gorbad Ironclaw
Grom the Paunch
Bloodthirster
The Casket of Souls

..well, thats 12 that spring to mind.
Some classic oldies and some amazing newcomers is my reckoning.
Nice to see Rick Priestly getting some limelight again!

hm I would think a dragon of some kind would make an appearance - either the new plastic dragon kit which is versatile and well balanced - or one of the older dragons 00

I remember the mixed one they had WD a few years ago, that was pretty cool.

I have to say that many of the newer models are really quite cool. the WE range espeacially was very nice and clean.

I wonder if any of the new Vampire Counts models will make it in there, seeing as GW seem so proud of them at the moment... (At least until the next army comes along :P)
I do like the fact the Crom model has been included. It's a great model, it must get used for so many conversions. I'm kind of surprised it's not higher, actually.

I'll have to keep watching this, just to see if Minus_t's guesses are right. I have no doubt that a fair few of them are! (Who can pass on Kroq Gar and his Carnosaur?)

Hmm, now I'm trying to think what models I've liked of late. I know I was quite taken by a few of the Wood Elf Spell Singer models... I think it's possible that the recent plastic Giant might get in... Maybe the High Elf Dragon mage as well.

I have no idea what's going to be number one, though.

(The GW page can be found here, if you wanted to look through the results for yourself; GW top 25 miniatures (http://uk.games-workshop.com/warhammer/25miniatures/1/))

Just thought people may be interested.

Also, curiously enough, there's now a poll up where you can vote for your favourite miniature. Except you can only choose from the list of the 25 above.

Finally, yay for Chaos, taking out the top three (if you count the Dwarf) spots! There seem to be quite a few Chaos minis in there, come to think of it...

No way the Green Knight should be that high. It's nicely detailed but the moulding is crap, the amount of green stuff I had to use to fill up massive gaps was insane.
