Well the reveal was "Chaos will stand Undivided once again", so... I'd say it's pretty much guaranteed that it will be, whether or not it'll be worth it is a different matter.

There wasn't anything about endless spells in the reveal, though I wouldn't be at all surprised if they did get some. They were leaked in a list of releases a while ago. There's no confirmation as of yet, though it bears mentioning that the release list predicted the Slaves to Darkness release well before it was officially announced.

Cambot1231 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I'm a little nervous that chaos warrior's halberds and great weapons will go by the wayside. The shuttering of more forgeworld stuff has me thinking weapon upgrades won't be supported with the new kit. Great looking new sculpts though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maier666 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Hey quick question, Chaos Marauders really are on 25mm Bases? For the new Battletome I'm looking to Rebase mi Gor to be my Marauders. In the Baselist they state 25mm but I wont believe it^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are on the Slaves tab in the GW store and thus we will assume that they are until otherwise revealed. What's more likely to be dropped are the various finecast models from the range, since GW is steadily pushing finecast out. I could also see the infantry marauders kit going if just because the new warcry warbands appear to be stepping right into the same position within the army and they look many many times better.

My only issue with the Warcry war bands being used is that if you want more than a box in a unit you have really obvious duplicated dudes for the special weapons and stuff. But they all do look sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKull Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Here's to hoping that's true. While I very much like the idea of using my untamed beasts as marauders (although a lack of an unifying "unit-like" visual identity makes me a tad less entousiastic (beastmaster, lion, harpoon guy etc)), I suppose that it diminishes the chances of a marauder remake along the lines of Darkoath (the models that actually got me interested in AoS after a long period of POST-WHFB passive grumbling).

Overread Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I was honestly surprised that GW didn't release a "darkoath warband" specifically for Warcry. It would seem like a perfect match. However I think the Darkoath might have a shift from being a warband through to being a ruling class of Chaos. More in tune with their Chaos Masters and thus believing in one of the Four; rather than the warbands who might not even realise that they are servants of Chaos itself (remember whilst the Warcry game takes place in the Eightpoints, the majority of those Warbands come from nations well outside of that realm. Untamed Beasts in Ghur might well have no real concept of their worship of Chaos through their own God's persona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, during the seminar it was mentioned that the new Lord will be undivided and only be able to be taken in god-specific battletomes (e.g. Diciples of Tzeentch) as an ally. Hopefully this means Undivided will be an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralZero Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 TBH, with the opportunity of all those magnificent minis in the warcry department, I'd rather get rid of the marauders and play thoose new minis, each unit with special taste. I don't want all chaos armies having the same copy/paste troops like warriors+light infantry, knights + light cavalry. We can here have warriors + comandos units or harassment units, knights + super heavy cavalry (varanguards) etc.. giving this "new" army a specific taste. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love Slaves to have some ranged, like archers or spear throwers . I also like the idea of the Warcry models replacing Marauders, however I hope we don’t have to field a mix and match if each tribe I reckon would look weird especially if painted in different colour schemes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius501 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 How do the warbands look with multiple duplicate kits to make a bigger squad? I’d probably want to do a big squad of The Unmade guys but, while she’s a cool model, a bunch of duplicate stilt standing freako lasses seems like it might look odd.

Charleston Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I belive having the Warcry Bands as Marauders would be quite cool as long as there will be a bigger kit with a better cost to model ratio. Such a kit wouldn´t be unpropable as leaks point into this direction Currently each of thoose is a highly specialised light unit. Ironbreakers have a good save, poison boys have some MW output we really need, Tzeentch guys...yeah, they are weirdos but thats usual for Tzeeentch This allows us to use them for different roles which is quite a nice touch. I hope we get some usefull rules to buff them a bit. I am really curious what GW will give us. Seeing current design trends and also further possible releases next year after SC and Tome drop makes it actually a really exciting release and I would love some leaks or WarCom articles on them. Longest month waiting for a release since the Necron Codex in 40k for me right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to pick up some Warcry models but I'm hesitant to do so yet. Who am I kidding, I still want to get them just to paint at the very least! Anything past that is just gravy!

Yep You missed the Elephant in the room Look at this picture: Do you see it? Well, in general when GW announces a book and shows off some armies, you can concider Units in the Picture to be in the Tome. Last occurence that confirmed this was Gutbusters, with Firebellies beeing shown only in the far background and with no mention until the late previews came Spoiler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
