Well, I think that most important thingin WartyX's icon are those binoculars ( or whatever it is) on the hat-  IMO that suggest some kind of motorised infantry, or engenieering troops.
Rizz's avatar has freakin' shadow on face added to black or dark helmet so I think he is one of this dirty SS guys ( that's not offence Rizz).

That's not a shadow, that's a german toque, sorta like a balaclava.

On WartyX cap I can't see Totenkopf so that's not SS. Well, M43 was used by almost entire German Army, but this camo on the jacket... Well, let's say that's Gebirsjaeger. Wrong again?

Lol. Nice thread ;D
Guess the Ostheer by admins avatars ;D
That will be funny when admins start to exchange
their avatars when one is solved by the community.

May the force be with you.

I think Rizz's is some sort of engineer/mechanical unit for repairs and such, based on the very mechanized look.

As for WartX's, I'm leaning Gebirgsjäger (for those who don't know that basically means "mountain hunter" or mountain soldier. They're the equivalent to the US' 10th Mountain Division) based mostly on the rope and the goggles, however I do not see an edelweiss on the side of the cap, but I don't expect that much detail on an avatar.

My two cents,

Based on Lord Rommel's avatar I belive that the Ostheer will come from a galaxy far far away and will be very OP.
The death star will be the msot powerful late game unit. It would be broken but awesome.

I'm also for WartyX's avatar being a Gebirgsjäger, however I'm not sure about Rizz's. First I thought of SS or something along these lines, too. But now...  :-\

However, this is what the community needs. Not exact release-dates or facts carved in stone but little things like guessing-avatars. The DEVs don't give away too many facts but at the same time we're excited about the Ostheer and the upcoming patch. (If these "avatars" will be featured in the OH at all... Who knows?  ;))

 ;D  @ SavageWorld's guess.

Speculation is all nice but it is WAY too early to make any realistic assumptions. Even we don't have an idea of of a possible time table...and even if we did...it would probably never actually be followed LOL.

To sum up, we have NO time table and if we had one we still wouldn't tell ya  about it ;)...but its defo NOT soon in any sense of the word


Keep it real  :P

Hehe here's conspiration theory: maybe those avatar pictures is only a way how devs are playing with our imagination boys, maybe it's just preparation graphics with actually no assigned units - and now devs are watching reactions and assign unit pictures according to those reactions lol

I have to hand it to them though, it's a good PR strategy...since it's keeping a lot of people (myself included) at the edge of their seats, literally frothing at the mouth: "Ostheeeerr...Ooostheeer" lol  :P

Perhaps the Ostheer will have a Mounted Llama unit?
