New Demon Models for Warlocks... Probably

Hellfire Citadel looks like it will be the most Burning Legion-filled raid we've ever had since Sunwell Plateau. With Archimonde as its final boss, and such folks as a stitched-back-together Mannoroth and a not-actually-dead Socrethar, plus what looks to be a serious black and green color scheme, this is one hell of a demon raid.

And of course, given that, we're getting updated versions of many of the classic demon models. I've seen datamined (care of MMO-Champion and Wowhead) versions of Doomguards, Felguards, Wrathguards (wow, lots of guards) and Imps. It appears that, at the moment, the temporary Doomguards summoned by Warlocks will use the new model, though for the moment the permanent Doomguard pets gained by Demonic Servitude do not (though I expect that's just waiting to be properly implemented.) I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of these new models integrated into the Warlock minions, as they seem to mostly keep the old character while just looking more modern (and remember, even the "new" Grimoire of Supremacy models still date back to Burning Crusade and 2007.)

I don't know if we can expect all of them to get updates - it depends on which kinds of demons they wind up using in Hellfire Citadel.
