"We already have so many War Machines from Marvel Legends."
For Marvel Legends, there has been only two War Machines. Original War Machine that uses the awkward Toy Biz Iron Man mold and a variant for the Modular Armor Iron Man (which is technically no War Machine from the comics). Then there has been the Iron Man 2 War Machine, and then the Initiative War Machine from Iron Man: Armored Avenger. That's only four War Machines (counting the Modular War Machine which technically shouldn't), that's not "so many."
If they release a Marvel NOW! Iron Man, I really really hope they base it off its original design by Carlo Pagulayan and not Greg Land's attempts at drawing it:
And Hasbro is more than welcome to make a Stealth Armor variant:
Considering Hasbro is so lazy they used the same mold for Bleeding Edge Armor and the Space Armor, they can use a similar mold for two armors which are way more similar than those other two.
If they made a War Machine, I'd expect them to release the War Machine Armor MK II.

Not to sound ungrateful, but too bad it's not a full unmasked head.

Iron Man looks really good. And hey! Unlike the MK 42 version, this one comes with painted palm repulsors!
I hope next wave comes with War Machine MK II

On top of my list is this buddy:

Considering War Machine will appear in Age of Ultron, and the 2.5" toy revealed will be sporting the War Machine MK II armor, I think it's safe to assume his 6" version will be released for the movie.
I wish it would've been released as the variant for Iron Patriot during Iron Man 3, because if it's released for the movie wave of Age of Ultron, that means one less new figure.

I hope it's an Ant-Man figure in an Avengers Infinite line and not an Ant-Man-centered line. Let's be honest, an all-Ant-Man wave won't be really successful. They could add some figures not 100% related Ant-Man, but they won't go to such extremes.

Greenlucario "Hope Hasbro does a Spider-Man themed wave every year now. "
I am so totally with that idea. I believe most people feel that Spider Man is Marvel's flag ship character. With the wants for Spiderman being anything from Gwen to Mary Jane, Aunt May, Dr. Octopus, Kraven, Hydroman, Lizard, Shocker, Jack O Lantern, Sandman, Vulture and just that huge list of Spiderman rogues...including the various alternative spiderman costumes etc.. it could really fair well for Spidey fans.
I hope that instead they do more Iron Man. Hasbro has been barely average with Iron Man's treatment.
We got no action figures for the main villains of the two last movies (Whiplash and Aldrich Killian). Not even figures for their respective armies (Hammeroids and Extremis soldiers). They had the opportunity to make action figures for 35 new suits (the Iron Legion), and we didn't even get action figures for the main suits (Silver Centurion, Heartbreaker, Gemini, Shotgun, etc). They could easily have made a Igo BAF with 6 suits, and some of them could've had running changes and variants to make more armors (Silver Centurion and Blue Steel only differ color, Southpaw is like Red Snapper with one less special arm, etc).
Additionally, the Mandarin (Trevor Slattery), War Machine MK II and Rescue action figures disappeared into the blue. The Blizzard action figures from Marvel Legends suffered the same fate.
It took them 2 years to make the Bleeding Edge Iron Man action figure, and they released it once it was no longer Iron Man's main suit.I really want to see the Black & Gold armor from Marvel NOW! (they even have a sculpt, as seen in the 3.75" figures for Avengers Assemble). And finally, In Iron Man's last wave there were two villains which are more of Avengers villains than Iron Man villains (specially Ultron) instead of a modern Mandarin or Whiplash.
*sigh*
Oops, I went a little bit off topic here.
To keep it on topic: I'm excited for the Classic Spider-Man figure. Looks great, specially the accesories. Wish it came with a Peter Parker head, considering we've only gotten one Peter Parker head for ML (Toy Biz's Peter Parker Spider-Man which came with a Shocker trapped to a web in a wall)

Is the sword that comes with Marvel Now Thor for the Thor figure or for one of the BAFs?
It's for Thor, the early Marvel NOW promos had him with two swords and if memory serves no hammer. But the sword(s) never showed up in Thor: God of Thunder, so not sure why it's included.
Those images were from Young Thor, from before he got Mjolnir.
In Thor: God of Thunder, there was a sword which regular Thor wielded. It was All-Black the Necrosword. However, it looks nothing like the one from this action figure.

Spider Woman (Symbiote)-2 per case
It's not Symbiote Spider-Woman, that's how Ultimate Spider-Woman normally looks.
(I miss this look, it was so much better than her current Black Widow outfit)

Promo images show the Thor figure holding it, so I guess it's for Thor.

Here are some other textures:
As you could probably have seen, most of these textures were taken from the Ultimate Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Web of Shadows games.
You can use some free-roam games to take some inspiration for your diorama, like the way some buildings are, or something like "destroyed" textures (textures for destroyed buildings or objects).

Here are some images, details, etc. you can easily add print, cut, and put in some part of your diorama. Like "paper props."
You can even make a billboard out of this one (I hope you get the reference of where it's from):

Finally (probably not finally). Most of these ideas I'm giving you I took them from x66. Who was an user here, and has posted some cool images of his diorama in this forum (but hasn't been active since 2012):
You can check his Photobucket album here. You'll see that in his Marvel city diorama, he uses a lot of the stuff I mentioned above. That's because x66 himself gave me some tips (like the hot dog stand being from WWE props, etc) when I had my mind set into making a diorama (never happened, I grew out of it). You'll see he uses Buffy action figures for citizens, as an example. His diorama is something to envy.

In case you want some background, here are three backgrounds from some of Marvel's old promo art. I don't even remember where did I get them:

There's also this police motorcycle (on Amazon here):
As a tip, you could use two of the "civilian" action figures with one of the cameras and one microphone from WWE props and BAM! You got yourself a reporter.and a cameraman.

And I'm pretty sure one of McFarlane's Military Series would go nice with this ATV (on Amazon here):
Or even a John Conner action figure (on Amazon here):
And if my math is correct, this 14" police car should work well with ML action figures (or Sabretooth's cop) (on Amazon here):

And now the extra and background characters. You can't just have your heroes fighting villains without some cops trying to back up, or some civilians caught in the middle of the battle:
This X-Men movie Sabretooth comes with a cop (on Amazon here):
This Web-Trap Spider-Man comes with a hallow small-time crook with no articulation (on Amazon here):
There are a lot of figures from even other fanchises which can be really useful for normal citizens:
Like Agent Mulder (on Amazon here):
Ghostbuster action figures also work (on Amazon here):
And also Buffy the Vampire Slayer action figures, like these ones (on Amazon here):
There are A LOT of Buffy the Vampire Slayer action figures which can be used as normal citizens in dioramas. A LOT.

This Marvel Legends Series 8 Modern Iron Man comes with a base with defeated Ultron drones:
This Magneto action figure comes with a broken subway base (on Amazon here):
This X2 Claw Strike Wolverine comes with a Weapon X facility base (which could be used as a sewer base) (on Amazon here):
Marvel Legends Series 4 Punisher comes with a balcony (on Amazon here):

This Shoot and Slide Spider-Man comes with another billboard (on Amazon here):
A Battle Damaged Spider-Man comes with a debris-and-rubble base:
Here we have more boxes and a streetlight (on Amazon here):
Here we have a Spider-Man from the first movie with a dumpster and a trashcan (both which are part of the Alleyway playset) (on Amazon here):

A Classic Spider-Man Series II action figure also came with a Daily Bugle billboard (on Amazon here):
The Marvel Select Spider-Man comes with a broken car (the figure is obviously out of scale with Marvel Legends, but the car fits, I think) (on Amazon here):
There's also this Spider-Man from Hasbro's Spider-Man Trilogy series:
Toy Biz even released a Spider-Man Alleyway Playset (on Amazon here):

Something you can do to make a diorama, is to put together numerous "mini-dioramas" and bases which came with different action figures.
Some of the Toy Biz figures came with really cool mini-dioramas. One of the bests, I think, is this one, from the first Spider-Man movie (you can find it on Amazon here):
There's also this Spider-Man Classics Series 6 Daredevil with a building ledge (on Amazon here):
There's also this rather sweet Web Trap Spider-Man which comes with a streetlight (on Amazon here):
A Battle Ravaged Green Goblin came with this window (on Amazon here):
There was also a Super Poseable Spider-Man with a billboard:0
