For those of you who haven't noticed, the kind people of WarhammerAlliance have set up two new forums; one for Dwarf Discussion, one for Greenskin. You can find them towards the bottom of the Forum Index (the first page where it lists all the forums) under the "Warhammer Armies" section ;)
I'm excited! :)

Haha, didn't notice that... Hopefully we'll be able to in a short while. At least, I hope they don't just taunt us with being able to look at them but not post :P

They appeared shortly after we learned about the dwarf and orc classes.

They've been there since end of April/ beginning of May I believe. You just haven't been able to post in them.

Well, yes, they have been here for a while, but they look different somehow. I think it might have to do with the sub-forums for each class being labled under their respective army, and there being a new "forum rules" post at the top of each thread. At least I'm pretty sure those were never there before :P.

They used to more look like the forum labels, rather than the forums themselves (i.e. red background that said "Dwarf Army Discussion" - with no sub-forums listed underneath). So since they were between "Warhammer Armies Forums" and the "Mark Forums Read/View Forum Leaders" bar, they didn't really stand out.

I thought the Squig Herders aren't a confirmed deal yet?

I thought the Squig Herders aren't a confirmed deal yet?The career is confirmed, the exact roles and abilities aren't (last we heard (http://www.warhammeronline.com/english/community/faq/faq.php#Q_Squig), anyway).Q: (Insert question here about the squig herder design)
A: As much as I would like to comment on the squig herder, what you've been reading are the very cool *ideas* for the class. Not one line of code has been written, so I don't actually know what is and is not possible yet!
In fact, the only thing I know for certain is that the heavy tank career will, in the Greenskin army, only be available to Orcs. Even the name "Black Orc" may not be final. (Regular internet surfers will recall that the Black Orc was called "Warboss" at E3, one short month ago.) Well, I do know one other thing for certain - the Squig Herder will be available only to Goblins.

Hmmm....since the class hasn't been coded, I would think that there may be a little possibility that it may not be available when the game is released. Not that I don't like them, I'm actually looking forward to seeing how the herders will be in the game. You know, complications may postpone or remove the class from the game at release kind of thing. Having a subforum listed for them looks like they're a done deal.
The rest of the classes can be pretty much considered done since we've already seen them on numerous screenshots.

This quote confirms it huh?

They have stated that they are doing everything in pairings. Greenskins and Dwarfs first. That means that the other four factions will not be started on until the work on the Greenskins and Dwarfs is generally complete. I do not see them making three classes for the Greenskins, and then starting on Chaos, the Empire, and High/Dark Elves -- leaving one career out of Greenskins just for the heck of it. ;)

Just maybe, they could change the second goblin class in the case that the herders don't work out. I'm sure there are other units to be based off. Anyway, I'll be glad if the herders make it since it's one of the more interesting looking class.
