The logic is inescapable.
Why just brown? Let's cover all remaining Orcs at once.
Bone white. Black. Brown.
Spikes in the skin, tattoos, LONG HAIR OPTIONS like Kargath.
Draenor Orcs is a terribly exciting addition to the Horde.
And we all know it'll be Kul Tiran Humans coming in as their Alliance counterparts.
Horde:
Draenor Orcs
Human-like Forsaken
Mok'nathal
Alliance:
Kul'tiras large humans
Wildhammer Dwarves
Half-mecha gnomes
You've got multiple completely different heritages right there, each deserves their own unique heritage armor and mounts, you've got shadowmoon, laughing skull, warsong(which I'm sad to say is the most likely the first orc allied race), Blackrock, Dragonmaw, Shattered hand, Bleeding Hollow, Burning Blade, Bonechewer, Frostwolf *GASP*, Mok'Nathal(yes the wiki says it's an orc clan), Thunderlord, Stormreaver, and Flowerpicker(an orc clan from Warcraft II which may or may not be canon, though a easter egg was planned in WoD), each with it's own skills, culture, and style

You made Human-like Forsaken the counterpart to the Wildhammer, when the counterpart for them SINCE THEIR INTRODUCTION IN WARCRAFT II, HAVE BEEN THE DRAGONMAW
Naga after Azshara is beat, both factions. Just give Green/Orange ones to Horde, Blue/Purple ones to Alliance :P
Although people are probably against more Dwarves, I'd like to see Wildhammer added. They have the lore to be druids, they fought with Admiral Proudmoore during the 2nd War. They have distinct tattoos and they can reinforce the Alliance Air support, like Kul'Tiras helps with the Navy.
Right now Odyn controls the Kvaldirs, as he have Helya's horn, but Sylvanas did mentioned on storming the Halls of Valor, so maybe instead of getting what she want (Eyr) she get something else (Helya's horn), this attack from Sylvanas may even be the reason why the Vrykul end up joining the Alliance. (as they were already "attacked once" by Sylvanas)
What I would like to see in Future Allied Races would be:
Horde:
Mag'har Orcs
Dragonmaw Orcs
Taunka
Forsaken Undead Elves
Hozen
Forest Trolls
Snake People
Alliance:
Kul'tiran Humans
Stormgarde Humans as the Barbarians
Wildhammer Dwarves
Broken Draenei
Jinyu
Silver/High Elves
Fox People
Aside from what's already been announced, here's my guesses and wishes:
Alliance:
Kul Tirans
Mechagnomes
Sethrak
Horde:
Draenor Orcs (i.e. Frostwolf, Warsong, Blackrock, and maybe Bleeding Hollow together under one banner)
"Fleshy" Undead (no missing elbows or protruding bones, maybe red eyes like Nathanos, and a more upright posture)
Vulpera
I'd also like to see Alliance Wildhammer dwarves up against Horde Dragonmaw orcs someday. Leper gnomes for the Horde would be really cool, but I'm not sure what the Alliance would get in turn for them.
In my head canon my Forsaken is an Undead High Elf.
I just wonder if, assuming we do eventually get these, they will be considered base Forsaken or base Blood Elf.
I am the one who knocks ... because I need your permission to enter.
I would be most interested in Blizzard adding another race that isn't actually a living humanoid, eg. Mogu, Mechagnome, Iron dwarf etc.
Reason is because while the current choices remain interesting, most of them share one thing in common, which is that they are biological and alive. The obvious exceptions in this case are death knights and Forsaken, and surprisingly thats what makes them thrilling to play and interact with.
I'd love to see race options which aren't the products of the Curse of Flesh or functioning aliens who went through an (allegedly) similar process. A race that's truly alien in both attitude and origins or basically Titanic constructs would shake things up quite well.
I don't think you'll see Undead Elves ever. Didn't she want to raise them and Lor'themar threatened her if she tried ?
While you have a point in that, can you really see them adding seven or eight allied races that are all different varieties of Orcs?
Far likelier they just add an Orcs of Draenor allied race that covers all available options, with the heritage of the various clans being represented by skin tones and tattoos . Which appears to be what is going to happen.
I want Centaurs!
