JPjr Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) Tempting as it is to assume it’s Part of a Lumineth model, I suspect it could be Aeldari, and specifically a new Ynnari model. After all that’s hardly a range blessed with an over abundance of models that aren’t borrowed from other factions and the ‘rune’ whilst more of a serif one than usual does look like one of the more famous Eldar ones, and that is associated with Ynnead... what does pull me up though is the ‘rope binding’ attaching the ‘staff’ part to whatever is out of shot which looks more AoS than 40k...

Kinda surprised there's no Death stuff at all, but they do mention Chaos Mortal subfactions at the end. Hoping for maybe a mixed-god Mortals subfaction!

Nezzhil Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Another book only for Chaos... Really? I'm very dissapointed and I'm not going to buy it. It's always the same... Chaos chaos chaos chaos... 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandlemad Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I'm surprised that they missed out on the opportunity to have any death stuff at all. Even something minor like, I don't know, a Legion of Grief analogue for OBR (doesn't really work for obvious reasons but something on that scale of interest) or like a new mixed death faction to represent Katakros's legions and non-ossiarch auxiliaries or something. Pull in a wider range of death players. As is, cool that it's aiming at a wide range of chaos players and especially cool that it has stuff for cross-pantheon daemon forces - it's been bizarre not having them properly represented in AoS - but that's still a more narrow audience than it might have been aimed at. As is, non-chaos folks who do get it will largely be doing so for the background, siege rules and rules for fighting in the Eightpoints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charleston Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Well, it beeing a full Chaos Book that fleshes out GA:Chaos a bit more is quite fine to me. Althrough I now really am angry about myself selling that Slaanesh and Tzeentch Stuff I had no use for last year, seems like there would have been an opportunity out there to use them now.

Looks like Nurgle is getting 4 subfactions based off of names. This is looking like Maggotkin 2.0 for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that you can find a keyword in each description of rumor engine which is related to the actual model. The whole text is rather meaningless, but there always is that one word. In case of new elves these are words like: dreaming, conjuring, peaceful sleep, coma, etc. I think any that do, are a coincidence. The text is meaningless. The one that was just revealed as the Zoat for example just had this text: ‘Behold the Rumour Engine! Can you predict what it is?’ Or this, from Vorkmortens coffin: ’With a crash of thunder and a flash of light, the Rumour Engine sends another image back through the vortex of time! Can you decipher this glimpse of the future?’ Most of them are just vague references to the engine itself or seeing the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what its worth the rune looks pretty similar to the one the Tidecaster is holding... though I doubt they are giving my fish bois any love UNLESS Teclis is sending his new shiny boys to finish the job Tyrion wouldnt let him before... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chyortskazal Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Yea, I really don't know what else the second one could be, unless we are getting vampire coast as the soulblight regen. Even if grotbag scuttlers are coming I dont see why their sky ships would still have barnacles/kelp on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cycle of Corruption is fine, the warscrolls are good enough barring outdated language. These are almost certainly not battalions but sub-factions as they have already confirmed that the Drowned Men are. An extra layer of allegiance abilities, new command abilities, artefacts, and traits could do wonders for the faction. Especially if any of them wind up boosting spell casting. Rotbringers just got buffed in the Winter FAQ with unmodified 6s and Blight Cyst at 140 points, they are close to being competitive again. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not exagerate, AoS only exists for 4.5 years 😉 I hope that this book gives some opportunities to Nurgle and BoC. And to be honnest, if there are some cross over synergies between some chaos armies, I'm in! Maybe in the future we have some similar books for Destruction, death & order (well, CoS already kinda does this). I bet that the son of behemat will do something with destruction armies.

BaylorCorvette Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Was really hoping Death would get some love in this book and maybe give LoN some updated Battalions to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how Gw implies that this book is a must need for every chaos player, but is missing the skaven part, must mean that the skaven will soon be their own thing. rumor confirmed🤪 Edited January 28, 2020 by Skreech Verminking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollowHills Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 We all know there are more campaign books coming. At least one which will be order vs destruction, possibly more. I wouldn't feel too downhearted if this one focuses on chaos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harioch Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) After seeing the contents' page of Wrath of the Everchosen, I presume the only part that make the lore going forward is the part titled "Deathless Glory" ...so 2 pages only. The others parts seems to be the build-up we already knew (like Lake Lethis, Forbidden Power or the Ossiarch Bonereapers Katakros entry). And the cynical part of me tells me that it will end up in a stalemate (and I hope an "interesting" one for once)...or even worse : "Choas wins ! Archaon is infuriated and plan to revenge upon those who have intruded in the Varanspire ! The Everchosen is building its strenghts, mustering his armies, and now is calling to war again ! What does it means for the Mortal Realms ? ...let's find out in 6 years" type of thing...😁 Edited January 28, 2020 by Harioch 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
