Jaskier Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Nothing surprising at all, but man do Lelith and the new Slaanesh stuff look amazing! Hedonites 2.0 will hopefully adjust Depravity to make the army less one-note, gonna be a long wait for the new models and book! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black_Templar_Lad Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Those new Riders are absolutely phenomenal!! The steeds look gorgeous. I'd love to see those archers on normal horses for some Araby conversions A bit disappointed of course there's no vampires, but I think none of the advent calander was revealed, which means more surprises to come!! Also just noticed that big awesome looking throne thing on the battletome cover!!!! You think that's the big model we haven't seen? Boi if it looks anything like that! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSalabean Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Nothing I’ll be picking up however the new slanesh models do look good, I like the new steeds. Not my cuppa tea though. Looking for that long awaited seraphon revamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzalyn Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 They didn't show the model, but you can see the big model on the battletome art. Looks like a transport for a really indulgent creature. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandlemad Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 The riders are incredible. As big a jump between the helstriders/daemonettes and them as between the demigryph knights and the gryph-chargers. Dynamic and incredible detail. Sad there’s no vampires but oh well, these models are great and there’s no point getting too fussed on xmas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neverchosen Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Wow, everything looks utterly fantastic. Lelith Hesperax is amazing and can proxy well into AOS. I can see her being used in a number of Aelf factions and she could easily work for Slaves to Darkness, Khorne and Slaanesh. All around a great model! (I also have a sincere soft spot for Sisters of Battle). I am of course bowled over by the amazing Slaanesh reveals. I think mounted Slaaneshi archers are the Chaos ranged unit I have always wanted but never realized. I really hope that the Slaangor were designed and power crept in such a manner to give BoC a useful new tool!

Although a Slaanesh reveal was really the most probable outcome for this preview. The models look great, though, I really like the new, distinct aesthetic for Slaanesh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nighthaunt Noob Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Idk why I'm surprised that GW doesn't understand how and Advent calendar works. It honestly makes no sense they didn't' show the advent calendar models considering it seems like there were only a few models shot from a bunch of angles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinros Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 At this point, I think they should just show everything. At least we know the Palaquin is an actual model, might be a dual build between a generic hero and the newborn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still-young Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 They’ll probably do a new year reveal too. They had an open day last year, I could see them doing a stream or something. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scurvydog Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Nice for Slaanesh players, but I had expected a bit more for a christmas reveal to actually reveal something new, we all already knew about these units coming. Also GW having no follow up on the 24 sneak peaks in the calendar should have been expected, but somehow I still keep hope they do something the right way someday, it just ended the 24th with a hand on a stick and then nothing? At least show 1 single entirely new and unexpected model :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say, I'm really happy with the models, the amount of skin on the Blissbarb archers made me raise my eyebrow in a good way. Also, I can sense my wallet weeping.

Greasygeek Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Happy holidays everybody🙂 Man what a strange release.. Those Slaanesh models are truely awesome and I can’t wait to build a warband out of those. However it is really weird to me that they didn’t release any of the adventcalender pics. Was seriously expecting to be (even just a tad) closer to see if Deadwalkers Soulblight or anything like that will be released down the road. Odd descision. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekay Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Pretty models aside, is the previous Hedonite battletome the shortest lived army book in the entirety of WFB/AoS/40k history, or has there ever been something updated even sooner?

Sarouan Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) It was to be expected, they have no reason to show new Death models so soon when they still didn't show the other Slaanesh miniatures. They'll have to handle the two weeks of Warhammer Community between releases in 2021 with something, after all. It's funny to see how people still try to overhype themselves when there is really no point. 😄 Still, GW really nailed it with the new Slaanesh miniatures. And yes, there are more coming, though I won't hold my breath here. I'm pretty much sure it's just a couple of other heroes / monsters. Love that oriental / arabian design, it's surprisingly suiting Slaanesh very well. The new steeds are very dynamic, they totally bury the previous hellstriders. I expected it was a new Hedonite of Slaanesh battletome - first, because the mortals of Slaanesh were always labelled as such in the Warcry Chaos Battletome and in the Warhammer Community previous previews, second because GW said it was a new battletome that will be announced today and third because mortals and demons are put together in Chaos Battletomes nowadays. Since GW's previews are always tied to their Warhammer Community's flux of news and they never go too far in the future especially with the pandemic around, it was to be expected that it would be the new Slaanesh book. And the number of releases is way too big for a single Broken Realm book (that would mean almost all the rules would be devoted to Slaanesh - at this point, it makes more sense to release a new battletome entirely).

KingBrodd Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 These new Slaanesh models are ****** insane looking in all the right ways!! Absolutely loving the Persian 300 look and cannot wait to see the Palaquin. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarouan Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Damn, they missed the opportunity to use an "arabian nights" music for the video. I mean, rock and roll is so cliché and has been for Slaanesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinros Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) I can tell the person who chose the music for both Slaanesh trailers has great taste in music. Yes, I like classical, including Mozart and rock. Edited December 25, 2020 by shinros 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 37 minutes ago, dekay said: Pretty models aside, is the previous Hedonite battletome the shortest lived army book in the entirety of WFB/AoS/40k history, or has there ever been something updated even sooner? Khorne got something like 3 Battletomes between launch and 2.0 though one or two of them were very bare-bones battletomes. That said even though its a very short lived tome I think most Hedonite players will welcome it. It's near enough doubling the army model variety count so its a huge addition and its right in the troops section which was basically untouched last time. This gives Slaanesh a big roster of heroes and a big roster of cavalry and infantry. About the only things missing are some big (not keeper) beasties and artillery. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
