On one hand: Dedicated Mercenary factions are cool and I always like when they're just a collection of weirdos like Dogs of War in WHFB or Minions/Mercs in Warmahordes. On the other hand: Soup needs to have a stake driven through its heart so it may never rise again.

   Apparently the summer chaos book is Daves to Darkness. Which is weird because their book is way newer than Beasts or Skaven. Quite a few new models in there, including at least one chaos dwarf unit! I'm guessing the Centurion Marshal and Chaos Legionaires are also chorfs.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/04/29/slaves-to-darkness-new-battletome-and-daemon-prince-unveiled/ Oh, that explains why I saw this pop up on my social media feed.  The new Daemon Prince is pretty ballin tho. Talas posted:Looking good... but what about the rats? According to their updated Roadmap we're looking at another Chaos faction book in Autumn.  Oh wait, the Dave book is the Winter release. So Skaven might just be up next. Cooked Auto fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Apr 29, 2022 |

I am way WAY more ok with StD getting a book this soon since they're kind of a mess with their core units are being overshadowed by Warcry cult weirdos. Also a new Daemon Prince is a long time coming. Edit: Covermeinsunshine posted:Looks sweet.

It's interesting that a leak of rules and order of army releases (like the one that 40k had at the start of the year) just kinda hangs out there and is continually reaffirmed as things come out. But if the leak includes images of models, then GW is super quick to issue an official announcement, even if the release isn't for the better half of a year.

Well models is the main thing and if there's a bunch of potato camera pictures going around that might give them bad rep because people will look too hard and then maybe not buy it.

Looks like we're getting a unit of chaos dwarves, a chaos dwarf hero, and a warcry warband of chorfs. Legion of Azorgh is already the forgeworld chorf faction, and we have a unit named "Chaos Legionaires", who are right next to the "Horns of Hashut", in the book, which is clearly the chorf warcry warband. Then there's also somebody named a "Centaurion Marshal" - Note, not a centurion, a centaurion, which makes him a chaos dwarf centaur hero of some kind.

chorfs are confirmed? huh, so I guess the early 3rd edition leaks aren't totally off. Which means we may very well get Umbranaeth release as one of the order battletomes after all?

As an Imperial Guard and Skaven player, I want to be a bit doom and gloom about it. However, Skaven do feel around the corner especially with StD being Winter now. Also, that Underworlds team is fantastic.

New StD stuff looks rad as hell, and Chaos Dwarves are cool as long as they're just wrapped up into the book and not their own faction. There's just too many armies that desperately need more unit variety before they start muddling things up with even more armies. Almost certain the next Destruction books are gonna be Ogors and Gloomspite, and maybe Skaven isn't coming up soon because the rumors of them being in the next starter box are actually true.

I know they're probably getting out in front the leak with the battletome reveal, seems odd that its literally the last tome of the year though with nothing for the intervening ones.

Dreylad posted:Disabling ward saves against melee wounds is a nasty trait. Yeah, that's gonna be pretty backbreaking for Maggotkin (right as people finally figured out some strong builds lol) and probably adds another army to the pile that can just shut off mega-gargants. Nighthaunt have so many cool models but all their oldest / worst sculpts are the ones with good warscrolls so I hope this changes things up enough.

I just read Soulslayer, and I expect next year to be the year of the Dwarf. Will bring up my exact thoughts a little later. Edit: The book heavily implies more stuff about the return of Khazalid Empire, which a lot of stuff near the end of Broken Realms was also implying. With the hints towards Chaos Dwarfs, I could see a year of the Dwarf with the Leagues of Votann coming in 40k. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 04:21 on May 2, 2022 |

I'm very keen to see new-style Chaos Chosen, hopefully warriors/knights, the new characters, and whatever Legionnaires are. Hadn't thought they might be chaos dwarves, if so then it all depends what style they go with. I would like some sort of shooting unit in the army. Kind of glad this stuff isn't out until winter, gives me time for other projects!

 The leaks had this photo, which includes the new Chaos Lord on Demonic Mount, as well as these guys standing next to him that are probably the legionaries. Seems kind of redundant for the faction who already has iconic Heavily Armored Guys (i.e Chaos Warriors) to add another flavour of Heavily Armored Guy. I'd rather not head into the same kind of bloat that Space Marines and Stormcast have where they have multiple redundant units that all do basically the same thing, but one inevitably ends up as the optimal choice. Also noteworthy that they seem to have both 2h weapon and 1h/shield options. They look rad though.

There are some classic Archaeon on horseback vibes coming off that guy. Coincidentally I wish they would re-release that model in plastic as a generic Chaos Lord. TheDiceMustRoll posted:I just want Gotrek to find his boyfriend again god drat it He sorta did in the sequel audio drama, but only through a portal looking back at his final moments from the end of Slayer that then closed and after that he sorta decided to strike out on his own.

I hadn't seen that pic, thanks! Yeah it's difficult to see what their angle is going to be that's different from the 'normal' Chaos Warriors and the Chosen. They look to have a slightly more slender aesthetic? Armour is a bit different, more like kruleboyz/mordor orcs. Almost disappointed they're not Chaos Dwarves (assuming these are the Legionnaires) but realistically I don't love a lot of dwarf models, they end up looking ridiculously short and stumpy in this scale.
