It is highly probable that the first releases for 7th edition will mirror those first released for 6th edition, mainly because those are most in need of an updated model line.

The predicted release schedule for the rewrite of army books is thus
- Dwarfs (already released, 3rd out in 6th edition)
- Orcs & Goblins (confirmed for autumn 2006, 2nd out in 6th edition)
- Empire (Q2 2007, 1st out in 6th edition)
- Vampire Counts (Q4 2007, 4th out in 6th edition)
- Dark Elves (2008 sometime, 5th out in 6th edition)
UPDATE: Prediction confirmed, though later releases may vary. The Dark Elves may or may not trade places with Skaven (rumour by 75hastings69)



Dogs of War
Rumoured to be not likely to get an army book, being very low on the priority list (Games Day Atlanta mid-march 06).
The current list may or may not get an update with the release of 7th edition.


Chaos Dwarfs
Rumoured to not be a priority.
At Games Day Atlanta (mid-march 06) Graham McNeill reportedly stated that GW wanted to redesign the entire look of the army. This matches earlier rumours.

High Elves need some vey necessary revisions to infantry and other units. Plus, the horse models are just retarded looking.

Visit http://uk.games-workshop.com/news/ and they offer an Empire sneek peak, therefore Empire will be the next release after the orcs.
