Off by a little. Plus a typo.
Long ago when Heroscape was still going, many of us would guess and predict figures and generals we thought would be in each wave. Even now, that love of speculation has me wondering what we could possibly see in the future. Obviously, we have a lot of units coming out that were in the documents posted by Avalon Hill. Many of these have come out or will be coming out in 2025.
Currently, Renegade seems to be bringing in units from the two new planets to help fill out the ranks of Aquilla, Revna and soon to be Volarak. Before, we would gets hints and teases from the Journals and Scenario Lore that we got from past people who worked on the game. Almost all of those units have come out, with a few exceptions. We also know they do plan to eventually get back to returning to old worlds that we've gotten figures from. For instance, at some point it is possible we will get a Grut Mammoth Rider, even though it is not currently set to release in any of the set in 2025 as far as I know.
So this threads is to speculate on what we could see or what you would love to see. They could be new units or reworks for other characters.
___________
For me, I'd love for them to bring the rest of the known things we have seen in the journals. I have recently reread all of the old journals and there is actually very few we haven't gotten yet.
Arik - I don't know if he would ever be a Hero. He was considered a Sentinel of Jandar, so we might have gotten him via squad, but Raelie was also a Sentinel. So we could still get him.
Beldun - He was a main traveling companion with Thormun. He represented Ullar when recruiting Einar and Vydar, He is the only name Kyrie that is still alive that we haven't gotten aside from Thormun. I honestly don't know why he wasn't included in the Kyrie box and instead we got two new Ullar Kyrie.
Thormun - I don't know if Thormun will ever become a Hero since he is like the lore keeper.
Tyrian - While Tyrian was killed during the second set of Journals, with Revna's necromancy, she could possibly resurrect him.
Moon Tribe Kyrie - A squad of Kyrie for Aquilla. We know we are getting a hero, but it would be nice to get her squad. Especially since Revna seems too be getting a kyrie squad next year.
Fire Ants - We know there are giant fire ants in the Swamp/Jungle. These could also be an Aquilla unit.
While not mentioned, getting more Kyrie in general would be great. Vydar is finally getting his first kyrie and with her trying to reunite her people, perhaps she can finally recruit a squad and more kyrie heroes for Vydar. Maybe some that can bond with the agents more, similar to how Conan can bond with Sentinels in Knights. I think Einar also needs more Hero Kyrie. And of course Volarak Kyrie I think have a potential to look amazing and be very unique.

Johnny Shotgun - I'd love for Johnny to get a new figure. He has always been my favorite cowboy and he was supposed to be great friends with Alexander, so I think it would be amazing to give him a new figure.
Ninjas, Outlaws and Pirates - Similar to I think how they are handling Pirates now, we would always have a unit type where each general got one. These are Ninjas, Outlaws and now possibly Pirates. I'd love for the journals who don't have these unit types to at least get a hero for them.
9th Elf - We know there is supposed to be a 9th elf. CoV/SoV has made one, but to actually get an official 9th Elf would be great.
Roman Cavalry - We do not know if we will be getting new historic figures, but I'd love to get more roman figures. Especially Cavalry.
Longbow Knights - I'd also love to see the knights get some archers in their mix for Jandar.
Another series of figures like the Gruts and Romans - I'd love to see another big series like the orcs and romans. Knights could possibly do this if they got archers.
Marr Units that aren't Marro - I think we all can agree we have more than enough Marro for a bit. I'd love us to get more Vipers and Gorillas from Marr. Especially Gorillas. I've always found Vydar's Flag Beaer being a Gorilla very odd when they barely have any representation in Heroscape.
More Planet Grut Figures - Since the start, we have only ever gotte orcs from Grut. In most cases, we have two or three races per planet. So having more from Grut would be great. With the possible idea of moving away from Historic Units, Einar would have the biggest chance. Especially since he barely has any non historic units.
Feylund Undead - There is supposed to be a Skeletal Army and we've gotten non officially.
That is all for now. I could go on forever with units I'd love to see, but I think these are probably some of the highest wanting ones. At least they were back in the day.

I wanted to link this thread that I found today. It is a bit different from this thread, but it lists nearly every character that was mentioned or seen in the lore or videos. So while that thread looks into those figures, this thread is more of a 'Do you want them?"

Listing of Unreleased Classics
Hey everybody, I see that there has been no compile of the neglected characters, storylines and planets of "core" scape, and I want to make a listing of all these characters, to encourage other to sign Phippo's declaration, and kinda make more realistic the reason 'scape should return. Whoop...
