HE already have way too many dragons at their disposal. An entire unit of dragons is out of the question, they are supposed to be rare.

But since people have been asking for a Vampire/Tomb kings dlc with Nagash etc, it means that we are getting there, as there is no way we can get him or other characters without End Times?

*Looks at the 500 years dead Repanse, 800 years dead Gorbad and the likely 1000 year dead Gorthor coming to Beastmen*

*Also looks at Skarr, Skullreapers and Wrathmongers*

This game does plenty of old stuff as well as ET content. 

No more dragon bloat please. 

Bad idea. Dragon riding lords are more than enough

Imrik should get Dragon mounts for Nobles in my opinion.

Nagash was occasionally active before the end times, so that means nothing.

Gorthor isn't likely at all.

You might have noticed that the War of the Beard is from way longer back than any of those characters and represents the Elves at the height of their splendor, a splendor they no longer have and can no longer obtain.

End Times is irrelevant, this game doesn't even have a Chaos lategame crisis.

Dragons should be rare, they are too common already.

ok, but remove dragons from non-caledor princes and princess. Tyrion only has his poney, the other lords could do the same

Repanse never explicitly was said to have died in any lore book I've found

Gorbad was missing not dead

Gorthor is not likely coming to the Beastmen considering that they already have 4 good current characters

If CA took it upon themselves to do the last lord-level character in the Greenskin book although long dead, then you can be damned sure they can and probably will go the same route with Beastmen.

Since it happened in End Times too, its fair game. I mean, just look at the Dark Elves and the potential Lords of Oblivion.

As OoD showed, highly relevant. And CA are working on the endgame crisis.

They should be as common as they were on the TT. And that means implementing further breeds yet:

Emperor Dragon (Storm of Magic)

Great Chaos Dragon (Storm of Magic)

Warpfire Dragon (Monstrous Arcanum)

Magma Dragon (Monstrous Arcanum)

Asarnil the Dragonlord for DoW

and who knows, maybe Cathay have regular dragons in their armybook, not yet implemented.

don be silly. Ghorros would be the ideal choice. They would never pick Ghortor even if he would be alive.

Believe me, I don't want him either. Its just that the same arguements for Gorbad are applicable to Gorthor. As much as I want Ghorros and a proper Centigor generic lineup, Gorthor has the privilige of armybook status. Just like Gorbad had over Gitilla, Snagla or Gorfang/Morglum. Im just a realist, looking the precedents set.

I'd be okay with Drake Riders.  I support races getting access to archaic units.    Like Rune Golems for Dwarfs.

What exactly is a Drake in Warhammer?  Are they just really young Dragons?  Or are they a separate species of smaller Dragon?

Gorbad was the only 8th Edition character left with a model. Both Gorthor and Ghorros are from the same armybook so there is no reason to pick Gorthor. 

Well, we'll digress that topic and save it for another thread.

I imagine its just a substitute word for Dragon.

Thank you all for being active and wish more people could express their points of view :)

That is my understanding as well, they can be used interchangeably.
