novakai Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 45 minutes ago, Neverchosen said: Hmm, I wonder if someone recently posted a massive wish list of potential Chaos Champions to enter into the mortal realms... 🤔 Beyond that though I feel like this is a very likely wish considering that 40k seems to be doing something similar overall for their new releases. So I can imagine every army having a leader styled character at the fore. I am personally partial to Volturnos/Akhelian King styled models that give an optional generic build. I do think that this is exactly where soup lists can kinda hurt a line, particularly if that named character is the only major release for the edition: Skragrott is one of my favourite character models but other than a wand with some legs he might not fit perfectly into a Spiderfang or Troggoth army. The ven Denst's might stand out like a couple of sore thumbs in a Scourge Privateers or Dispossessed list. If they release an updated Greasus Goldtooth he would likely only fit in with my BCR army as I have a love of Gnoblars. This coming from someone who typically likes soup styled armies. it hurts more when they are sub allegiance lock that for sure (hammer of sigmar getting another named character huh) granted they have been slightly better on this front 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a quick estimation, but I averaged more than a model a day from March 2020 until now. About 1.5. Also want seperately available swamp orcs, my games and Kickstarter boxes are running low.

Snorri Nelriksson Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 To be honest...FEC does'nt need another ghoul king\lord but new troops and some of the court models that needs revamp o are done with conversion between kits. Still seems a nice piece..but maybe is not Ushoran...? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The matter of „needing“ is a different one entirely, just as e.g. 40k‘s Eldar need new Phoenix Lords, Aspect Warriors and basic troops and haven’t received anything for decades. New FEC models would be great, no doubt about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I definitely wouldn't turn my nose up at a named character center piece / big model that isn't the TG/ZD (I do love that kit though, best dragon they've ever made). Those rumour engines look like a model sort of crouched / perched on top of some masonry to me. Ready to soar down and tear some unsuspecting invader limb from limb. If thats the take on Ushoran, I'd be cool with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandlemad Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I'm not sure even a refresh is the priority, just something to give their range some breadth, a unit that isn't made from one of three kits. They're not quite at fyreslayers level of homogeneity but having another unit of... I don't know, bat swarms taken hunting hawks or a horrible parody of the old Bretonnian grail reliquae or something would be good. Like some of the ideas in this reddit post maybe: 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenericEdgyName Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 What if our maybe-Ushoran guy was sitting on a throne and the throne was carried to the battle by some crypt ghouls? So they are just a few poor guys getting almost crushed under a stone throne of their crazy cruel master, but they think they're having the honour of carrying their glorious lord in something like that: 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollowHills Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I've worked it out. Nurgle vs FEC battlebox in October with two new books for each grand alliance that wasn't featured in Dominion. This matches rumour engines and combines two of the older books with the statements we've had from Whitefang. It also matches the 40k 9th ed release pattern of a battlebox shortly after the range releases. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinholt Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I will also say I have heard the scuttlebutt for the Chaos release is Nurgle. No idea on FEC though. I would like to see it; they are probably the model range that needs the most work for death (and Nighthaunt have a beautiful range with terrible rules so a book update with a handful of models would probably do them fine). Also related to a previous point way back in the thread, part of what I dislike about the Stormcast aesthetic is that they gave them actual literal masks, but then paint them like regular armor. I think if you have a highly stylized mask, it should be a key part of the persona, not just "oh it's the same as my leg". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAsPlanned Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 47 minutes ago, Bayul said: I found this screenshot on Reddit. Did we talk about the Chaos-flavuored battletome for october already? Yup, I think we came to the consensus that it’s gonna be either Nurgle or Chaos Duardin. I do still think it’ll be StD though, and nobody will ever be able to take that away from me.

Acrozatarim Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I hope it's Slaves to Darkness, possibly the rumoured StD/BoC soup, because that'll give a baseline of units that the monogod armies can coalition or ally in going forward and let each of the following monogod tomes be balanced appropriately with that in mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean going off the rumour engines I only see one thing that looks Nurgle like (the little bone instrument) and several things that look potentially Slaves to Darkness inspired (the eightpoint skull, the staff top, and the hoof). I think that the likeliest bet is Beasts of Chaos, Nurgle or Slaves to Darkness at roughly equal measure. I know it will disapoint many but I am still fairly confident that Chaos Dwarves will at least initially be a S2D subfaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure man. Right after CoS humans, Seraphon, Skaven, Beasts of Chaos, Ogors, etc. The Terrorgeist kit is from 2011, not very old in terms of some of the models out there... The Crypt Ghouls are from 2005 or 2006? But they've held up pretty well imo compared to a lot of the rank-and-file type troops (they're about same age as moonclan grots) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreddships Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Nurgle seems the safest bet. 1st edition battletome and all that. StD being a 'close future' - with the inevitable updated multis for Warriors/Knights, probably a 'Lord Sorcerer' type to bring some heavy magic choice (hopefully in a dual 'Chaos Lord' kit) - would be my bet. I don't see BoC or Skaven unless it's a large release - they could both do with a fair few bits and pieces. FeC being the 'death' release and a larger model release in December seems to fit the '4 GA' rollout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
