Dwarfs (floaty / skinnydippy / tin canny / angry pyro loons) and Chaos = good Pointy ears = bad.

Kaleb Daark Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) I wonder what face options the Keeper will come with. As for the Daemon prince and herald tag team, could we be seeing some of this aesthetic with new Slaanesh rank a file models like Tzeentch got with the arcanites?

JPjr Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 so the question I now have is does... does the Keeper of Secrets tuck its stockings into its hooves, somehow (?), or are they actually just wearing hoof shaped shoes, which in turn raises questions about the existence of chaotic cobblers. this is not something that I was expecting to contemplate today... 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the implication, like with the Fiends, is that the stockings are actually just another layer of skin. Daemons, man... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Is it even cloth or is the Keeper simply pulling up its own skin and having deamonette spend a few hours painting it in order to try and mimic wearing clothing. It's got the very same shade of purple on its lower arms! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make me laugh at people who claim Warhammer is becoming a kids game - Slaanesh still brings all the kinky stuff to the table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 On the Facebook page the community team is very noncommittal about new mortals. It would be a missed opportunity for sure because the updated look is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always loved the Hellstriders and Sigvald, but stayed away from making an entire army because of the lack of (to me, purely personal) great core troops. I tend to be much more interested in mortal followers than the daemons. There is still some hope for the mortals, but I guess we have to wait and see! edit- It is amusing to look at Facebook. Every other comment is someone asking about mortal followers. Edited March 28, 2019 by Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michu Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Yeah, so much can be done with Slaanesh mortals. For example, their ranged unit could be using carnyces (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnyx) as wall and brain-shattering sound cannons (basically AoS Noise Marines).

Don’t the other three Chaos factions have mortals? I believe all three have had them released fairly recently (Blightkings during the End Times). It would be strange to leave them out of a large release like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Taylor Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 +++ Mod Hat On +++ Folks, please don't link off to videos which aren't about wargaming (battle reports, painting, reviews, etc). This forum is for everybody but some of these videos can be deemed as not appropriate for everybody. +++ Mod Hat Off +++ I think the new models look amazing. GW have hit the design aesthetics right on the nose and captured the key points from the "classic" Slaanesh stuff without going to far towards the adult section. I'm hoping the army is still a glass hammer and there are plenty of options as it's got me thinking really hard about collecting an army of them!

Acid_Nine Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I wouldn't be surprised if the snake symbol from warcry would be something related to slaanesh mortals. In fact that would be a great way to get more mileage (in my opinion) out of any new mortal thing. But, as a death and order player, what's wrong with bringing chaos warriors as the mortals?

I was thinking the same. GW are making their sculpting work harder and cross over into more games - look at the Tzeentch release starting with Silver Tower then pushing into the full Disciples of Tzeentch battletome, the Gloomspite warband in Shadespire coming out just before the full army for AoS, and the new Chaos Marines in Blackstone Fortress coming out ahead of Abaddon and the new troops. I don't think there's anything wrong with bringing chaos warriors as mortals, except the models aren't marked. Khorne have blood warriors, wrathmongers and blood reavers, Tzeentch have Arcanites and Tzaangor (in place of marked chaos warriors), Nurgle has Blight Kings, so I think the expectation is there's a Slaaneshi version coming too. I suspect new Slaaneshi mortals for War Cry that might then come out later as AoS (or dual with 40K) mortals. Which probably mean not in this wave, maybe. Or maybe they will flip reverse it. I agree with Kaleb Daark that the new daemon price/herald is likely a sign of the style of new mortals. They're rarely doing one-off all-new designs without some of the cues then appearing in other models. Which makes me think, depending on how big they are, that the two attendants on the mirror are also an indication of another potential unit - because why design two completely new models like that and then not get another set out of them they can sell - Exalted Daemonettes or some such. Though if they might just be regular sized daemonettes just dressed up a bit. I had thought the mirror was the scenery piece every army is now getting, but actually it could be a new unit. There is at least one new thing in the video that's not been shown off individually, at 0:25. Giant slaanshi symbol thingy with the relatively flatly detailed daemon head sticking out the portal. It's clearly on a base in the full army shot. Portals seem to be the new theme. Edited March 28, 2019 by Starfyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izotzuhure Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) I must admit that, at the reveal, I was not completely sold on the KoS, but now I think is perfect. I think that they've gone for quite an interesting aesthetic with the new models. On one hand you have the ruff on some of the miniatures, quite European, but the rest of the clothing looks more Asian/Arab? Kind of One and a Thousand Nights?
