shinros Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Just now, Nezzhil said: They didn't post one page. If I don't remember bad the list are three pages. Oh yeah, I recall someone mentioning that. You're right, if you check the table of contents on the GW website fighter cards (I don't play warcry, I assume it's the unit page) start on page 49 and daemons start on page 52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GODDAMMIT, that's sneaky, I give them that. Oh well, at least we have a few lore snippets. Edited December 8, 2020 by shinros 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Darn it GW is teasing us now for certain. That said I'm darn pleased to see some ranged options for Slaanesh - proper ranged not just the one hero with a harp (which is a really cool model). I'll be interested to see how they've done the seekers - if they've kept the same design or such. Some potentially lighter biuld riders would be nice or even - shock horror - some new skeekers that are a little chunkier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandlemad Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Haha, yeah, fair play on using the exact same photos I guess. HOWEVER. Note under the lore for Blissbarb Seekers that is specifically mentions that they're mounted on an Exalted Steed of Slaanesh. That sounds to me like the good old fashioned boobworm or something like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black_Templar_Lad Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Good lawd I am loving the 300 Persian aesthetics. In fact just eastern vibes with a lot of AoS factions is so refreshing to see. Also I see a plastic turban(?) head, I'll take 40 boxes for Araby conversions thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandlemad Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) This also rather nicely distinguishes the Sybarites from the Bloodbound/Rotbringers/Arcanites. There's some one-to-one comparison but for unique units we're broadly looking at Khorne: marauders, warriors, elite warriors, weird elite warriors, super-heavy cavalry, monster, big monster Nurgle: elite warriors, super-heavy flying cavalry Tzeentch: marauders, beastmen, elite beastmen, elite beastmen flying cavalry, elite beastmen archer flying cavalry, big monster Slaanesh: archers, elite warriors, weird elite warriors, elite beastmen, cavalry, heavy (?) cavalry, heavy (?) archer cavalry And this is putting aside heroes. I like the lack of symmetry, even when fitted to generalised boxes like this, they're more than just their StD equivalents with different marks.

SilentSentinel Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Mildly disappointed that there seemingly isn’t a light melee unit option to go alongside the archers but that being said I’m still pretty hyped for this release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there another photo leaked? The image of the silver-armoured dudes on dark red steeds are the regular old Helstriders on their regular old Steeds of Slaanesh. We can get a glimpse of manes or neck ruffles in the little circle portraits but you can't tell what they're riding. They're the ones that are supposed to be atop Exalted Steeds of Slaanesh.

Overread Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Just a note as this is a pretty big addition to the Slaanesh forces the "more" might be GW phrasing that to mean more in a sense of a full rework of the models we already have - ergo a new battletome. Which even though the last one isn't that old, I'd not begrudge GW releasing considering how many new models they are adding to the army through this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnawdwell Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Looks like the part of the steeds head, and for sure doesnt look like the same old hellstrider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elazar The Glorified Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 We've still not seen the Warshrine, Mega Chariot thing seen in the background of the reveal video so there's still more to see for AoS if not for Warcry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
