I couldn’t see a thread relating to this, so here’s my own attempt. Apologies for any erroneous guesses. Using some of the leaked photos and the Deluxe rulebook, I’ve assembled a list of ‘likely’ upcoming releases by faction.
Neutral:
Dreadfort Blackguards (not a great leap of faith, as these have been spoiled as part of the Kickstarter)
Lannister:
Kingsguard, with Joffrey (minis have been previewed for the individual knights of the Kingsguard, which presents the interesting anomaly of a unit of less than 12 models. I think Joffrey will be an optional attachment because his details are alongside their’s in the deluxe rulebook. Potentially the named knights like Jaime and Barristan could be attachments for other Lannister units too)
The Warrior’s Sons (artists pictures in the deluxe rulebook of well armed members of the Faith Militant)
Poor Fellows (again design pictures in the deluxe rulebook of presumably a chaff unit, which could share rules with the disposable free folk raiders. Combined with the High Sparrow, Champion of the Faith and Warrior’s Sons this presents the potential for a nicely themed army of Faith Militant)
Stark:
Tully Cavaliers (potentially not published yet to encourage Outrider purchases, images of the artwork and unit card have been leaked and the artwork and description is present in the deluxe rulebook. These would allow for a nicely themed Tully army and scenarios focussing on the initial stages of the War of the Five Kings)
Stark Heroes 2 (using artwork clues in the rulebook I would guess at a set including Jojen, Meera - allowing for Crannogmen Tracker attachments - Arya and Syrio, which would provide for some really cool rules options and even NCU potential. Rickon, Shaggydog - possibly on the same base, and Osha. I would assume no Nymeria, due to her being chased away before Robert’s death, matching the absence of Lady from the redesigned Sansa figure)
Night’s Watch:
Night’s Watch Heroes (going from leaked photos that seem to have been around from before the Kickstarter released, I would guess at Sam, Gilly - both NCUs, Qhorin Halfhand and Coldhands, sadly leaving Benjen still lost in the Lands of Always Winter)
Night’s Watch Catapult (image spoiled alongside the above figures at AdeptiCon I think)
Free Folk:
Thenns (a single image from the above Con has been mooted as a Thenn due to the more substantial armour, therefore fitting the description from the books as opposed to the bald cannibals from the TV series)
Spear Wives (the 3D renders have been spoiled and the design artwork is present in the deluxe rulebook)
Let me know what you think. Am I way off? Is there information out there that confirms or disproves my ideas? I’m a long-time Warhammer player so the lack of rumours and leaks and forum guesses is a source of frustration to me by comparison.
