Look at all those happy Nurglings.

So this does mean we still have one LL currently unaccounted for.

Not exactly surprising to people, question now is whether it's Bel'akor or a wild card like Nagash?

Ku'gath took to the field on top of a mobile lab carried by Nurglings. Part of why a model for him was never produced, simply too big for what materials could do at the time.

poo poo, I was wrong. Nurgle has two characters his children carry around. Makes sense cuz he is the nicest chaos god.

So what's the deal in Fantasy, was Slaanesh created by the elves sucking & loving too much like in 40k or what? Because unlike the Eldar, the various flavours of elf don't seem particularly diminished.

I thought they said it wouldn't be a new faction type so something like Nagash seems out. Bel'akor as a new lord for the reimagined warriors of chaos might make sense.

No. Slaanesh is still said to be the youngest of the Chaos Gods, but she’s portrayed as being around since forever. Slaanesh likes to seek out elf prey but wasn’t necessarily their nemesis. I think in later High Elf books, they started emphasizing the need for elves to safeguard their souls from Slaanesh like they do in 40K, and then the End Times and Age of Sigmar happened and revealed that nearly every elf soul was eaten by Slaanesh. The new Aelven gods then started the long process of freeing them.

As I understand it Slaanesh feeds off (and inflames) all manner of desire. The urge to be the best leads to undermining all your rivals. The love of wine leads to seeking all manner of new liquors.
It's basically all of humanity's best traits, warped and turned back on themselves.
Mengele might be a good example of a Slaneeshi.

Most definitely. Khorne guys eventually become too pissed to enjoy being badasses, and even if you’re the smartest, most powerful Tzeentch champion ever, there’s a good chance your boss is planning to have you humiliatingly murked for his own inscrutable reason.

Or you can be a dog-brained chump that has Tzeentch intervening on your behalf for equally inscrutable reasons

Well that, and its Slaanesh's game to so completely over-stimulate you that you just turn into a burnt-out husk, similar to late-stage addicts. Completely unable to stop, but deriving zero enjoyment.

Nurgle's entire thing is despair and joyless mirth. Most of his worshippers tend to be nihilists who have given up on anything being better, and just want to drag everyone around them into the same abyss of despair. They turn to Nurgle so they don't suffer as much.

Is there any chance we will be able to buff our Nurglings with various hats? I would like a Nurgling LL that has a hat mechanic where you need to raze each faction capital and steal their hats, unlocking RR's of Nurglins' in said hats each time you do.
