As in the name of the topic I ask all forum members if anyone has any idea if any new leader (except for models already spoiled like Legacy) is going to appear in A:T.
I ask this beacause I really like leaders in general and some of them really change the way to play their Organizations...
Thx

There's only speculation, mostly based upon new art from Wen-M.
I'm not sure but I think it's confirmed that a third leader will come out for every org.

So, per organization:

Azur: It seems that they will be getting Arbiter Aizen.


Church: At first it was thought that it would be the High Inquisitor Marchosias:

But then he was announced with a regular $11 price tag, so now one of the favorite candidates is Ergo Mundus, a powerful mage encased in a grimoire. We think the cover of Arcana Exxet depicts him and the Bearer:


Empire: Since there are no new art of 'leader-looking' Empire characters, widespread opinion has it that either Lilith or Tiamat will be the next Imperial leader.



Samael: I don't know anything about their new leader. Guys? I think I remember they wanted to do Fallen Angel Legion Ramses, but he is so, so massive that they're wondering how to make him without going to a price in the hundreds.

Wissenschaft: I don't think they shold be getting any, since they already have Reist in TWO gears, but then again, people like to especulate, and the candidates are either Valis:

or, IIRC, the Hecatondies Sigma Zero, which is known to collaborate with Wiss.

Black Sun: Aside from Clover, who is expected for this September, nothing is known...


Does anybody know or remember anything else?

[Killy]

Thx... Hope they are coming out really soon. (Really hoping Legion Ramses will be the next Samael leader)

[planeswalker]

Don't get your hopes up on that one!

[spacemonkey]

While there has been no artwork yet (at least that I can remember), there has been some speculation that Fallen Angel Jigoku no Kami might be the next leader for Samael (based on multiple references in background fluff for the Samael characters in the rulebook).

Do note that Marchosias having a normal price tag doesn't mean he can't be a Leader, Yuri has a normal price-tag after all.

Do note that Marchosias having a normal price tag doesn't mean he can't be a Leader, Yuri has a normal price-tag after all.

But its very likely not a leader.  Yuri was the first leader and an experiment I'm guessing.  While most of the other leaders had larger bases or more metal to somewhat justify the cost, XII didn't and should have been same cost as Yuri based on model, base, and any other extras.  It seems to me they moved to special packaging for leaders and higher price after Yuri.

It is within the realm of possibility that XII, due to his more dynamic pose, simply cost more to produce. Kerberos is a non-leader on a small base, but still costs $14.99.

That aside, I was just bringing up the possibility. We are all speculating in this thread.

[Fallecs]

Also no leader has been released since the new boxes.

So with the move from the old boxes it is perfectly logical that all small base figures shall stay in blisters, irrelevant of their status.

Does anybody know or remember anything else?

There was an picture of Lynn Steiner at wen's page, since blacksun is made up of the Delacroix and the Steiner family and we already have a Delacroix leader (Clover), she might be the second leader. She also looks pretty important

Who is Hecatontodes Sigma Zero?

Ok, I sniffed around, and here he is:



but but but... who is he and how does he "cooperate" with Wissen?

[spacemonkey]

I don't know the specifics about Sigma Zero but in drawing information from the Anima RPG corebook, the Hecatontdies are a type of superior combat golem developed by the Solomon Empire and a considerable number of them survived the fall of the Solomon Empire. Apparently their greatest weakness is the existence of a verbal control code that allows those that know it to become the owner of a Hecatontdies... speculation make me think that perhaps Lucanor has learned/discovered the code for Sigma Zero?

[Zeru]

From what little I know:

Zero Sigma: The most intelligent of the Sigmas, it possess an extremely powerful AI. Its generator was destroyed, but Eljared restarted it with a Black Coin. It has an agreement with Lucanor so it can repair/maintain itself using Wissenschaft’s technology.

[Mroq]

cool! mewants one! and that hottie too, seriously, did I ever, *EVER*, say that we have enough chicks in Wissenschaft? I think not, no, my prrrrecious.

[VisioDei]

Luisa looks really very pretty! ...and Sigma Zero is fantastic!   ...Thank you Lucanor!  

Off Topic: I don't know completely the Wissenschaft BG... Who is Eljared? And what are Black Coin? Thank you!
