EonChao Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 1 hour ago, MitGas said: All Tzeentch needs is a mortal elite unit that mirrors the ones for Khorne, Slaanesh and Nurgle - I‘d go for armored Sorcerer-Warriors in a style similar to the Curseling. Other cool extras would be: Forsaken, a Chaos dragon, perhaps with a Sorcerer Lord on top (or Egrimm Van Horstmann coming back, yeah baby!) and an option fir Galrauch and/or Aekold Helbrass if we get a champion for both systems… him returning would make sense due to his gift of life. It‘s difficult to find anything that Tzeentch lacks outside of those so consider this my personal wishlisting. 😇 I guess most DoT players would agree with that list though! Oh and very unlikely but I‘d love to see what GW could do with chaos spawns nowadays. I don‘t hate the hate the old plastic kit but there‘s so much potential. I wish their rules were better, too. Would love to field an army with lots of them in it! In addition to an elite unit Tzeentch could also do with a mortal cavalry unit that isn't Tzaangor, another big centrepiece kit (Nurgle has GUO and Glotkin, Khorne has Bloodthirster and Skarbrand, Slaanesh has Keeper, Glutos and the twins), and a melee focused hero option. Plus updates to the Blue Scribes and Fluxmaster. Also I would really like some more mutated mortals/tzaangor in a unit like the 40k Chaos cults got.

Jagged Red Lines Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Some people on discord believe that Sept 23 is the release date, with preorders a week earlier on Sept 16. On that timetable, announcement should be this Sunday. Surprising to me, as I assumed the Sept 23 date was preorders, rather than release. @Elarin any steer on this?

Why couldn’t it have been King Brodd? I mean only now have we gotten any lore narrative about the era of the beast, we have gone almost two year without much happening from dominion to harbringer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitGas Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 7 hours ago, Clan's Cynic said: The Doom Knights from Total War would be perfect, especially when there's already a disk-riding unit in the Enlightened. I feel like another disc-riding unit would have partial overlap with Enlightened, hence I‘d suggest the sorcerer-warrior angle personally where you’d go with slow, tougher and strong fighters that can cast a spell and cost lotsa points (basically Chosen with spells… if they add agility too then they‘d be insanely expensive points-wise I imagine) but that would definitely be a cool unit too… I wouldn‘t complain, although I love my enlightened birbmen. Anyways, in theory Tzeentch doesn‘t need anything but practically new stuff is always nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely a army list which has a different composition to the regular list. I wouldn't expect any new models, maybe a one click bundle on the store but that's it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't get anything, they'll just have the Fyreslayers fate in Broken Realms, just stuffed in a book and not really playing any role or getting anything model-wise.

I'm a bit nervous about that. I really liked the Army of Renown concept from 40k, but I think that AoS will have a watered down version, or worst, a regiments of renown that can be used by their main faction.

I really liked the Army of Renown concept from 40k, but I think that AoS will have a watered down version, or worst, a regiments of renown that can be used by their main faction. Armies of Renown have so much potential in AoS if they treat them right. I'd argue that they should actually expand on the 40k concept. Legion of the First Prince with all demons could be great as an army of renown, or Big Waaagh, just so they can be balanced separately from the factions they contain. Heck, even a Duardrazhal army of mixed Kharadron, Fyreslayers and Disposessed would be perfect as an army of renown. You can take away their unbalanced interactions without ruining any of the separate armies. They can go much further, and add specific CoS as armies of renown. Har Kuron, Anvilgard resistance, a yet to be founded city, etc. Or more coherent StD factions, or give better rules to Beastclaw/Gutbuster separate armies, etc. AoR would be a perfect solution to give these options to players, but actually balance them without ruining the internal balance of the factions that are part of them. They could even split Orruk Warclans back into their proper tomes (I'd love a separate Ironjawz tome) and offer the Big Waagh option as an AoR. I'd actually prefer it though if Regiments of Renown could actually be used in the faction they're supposed to be from. They're so 'renowned' that Fjori, a known Grimhold Exile, will not assist any other Fyreslayers. Lorewise and gameplay wise it makes little sense.

Hope I'm completely wrong: Army of Renown for the Kharadron Overlords themed around the Grundstok Expeditionary Force – a hard-hitting force of mercenaries who often work with other Order forces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I feel like this is just a Regiment of Renown without an actual new model. Such a shame that KO are getting the same treatment as FS last time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
