https://berserk.fandom.com/wiki/Purple_Rhino_Knights Stuff like this on the Berserk end: elegant yet relatively grounded armor that still looks absolutely amazing.

Guts: Khorne's not-yet-adopted son/future champion.

I kid I kid..... Now then does anyone have any idea what will be shown off this Thursday at Warhammer Skulls? I know it's not directly related to the tabletop but since Total War is getting stuff previewed we might see something that can be ported to TOW....

Don't worry @MitGas, no one here will judge you for your vanity, after all we have Slaanesh fans on this forum.

Wait! People actually change the face of their Soulsborne characters? I thought everyone was too busy trying to figure out the best builds and making bosses into memes….

Don’t get me wrong I understand the reasoning behind the Crusading forces getting necromancy, after all the worship of saints is based primarily off the holiness of their corpses, I just like stirring the pot every now and then. I don’t know @The Red King, I’d say that these guys have the most accurate form of helmet hair that I have ever seen! They look like they just spent an entire afternoon in the midwestern sun playing football and I’m here for it. If we get a swordsman in full-plate as a hero option I’m painting him black and calling him Gatsu. On a more serious note, if GW is “borrowing” aesthetics from Miura and Soulsborne stuff I wonder how future projects like Ind and Khuresh will turn out? The better to corrupt into new Chaos Dreadholds my dear @Asbestress….

Oh sure, when the sigmarite barbarians use necromancy it’s considered a holy rite, but when the liche priests of LONG LOST NEHEKHARA!!! Do it it’s considered blasphemy of the highest order. That said, they have some excellent drip.

Primaris Grombrindal Warhammer + Exclusive Resin model.

Plus the Chaos Warrior experience fulfills all four typical SoulsBorne ending narratives. Ascend to a Higher Form of Existence at the cost of Humanity: Daemon Prince Chose to stay human: Chaos Lord/Death Utterly damn yourself and the world: Chaos Spawn "Third" Option that almost everyone chooses: Varanguard.

Oh man a Soulsborne Warhammer game would be awesome.... Though I won't lie I'd only play it if we could play as a chaos faction.

Soon.... All of those scalpers on eBay will no longer have a monopoly on all of the good bits....

They (gw) haven’t cleared that up, however it might be possible. We’ve seen at least 2 chorfs that aren’t actually “chorfs” in Warcry, and in the Hedonites lore there’s a dwarf who was corrupted by Syl’Esske to create dwarf flesh daemon engines…. however we’ve also have gotten direct references in the Lore to Hashut worshipping dwarfs, so who knows?

Give them a good enemy too, if Dwarfs take center stage next edition this might be the perfect time to update Skaven and possibly bring in the Dawi-Zhar as well.

The saddest part of this paragraph from the great @Snarff is that all of these have awesome models! For dwarfs as a whole I think they've been hijacked by whatever Grungni and Grombrindal have been cooking since late 2nd edition: Grombrindal's promoting excavations in old Karaks and introspections into certain parts of current dwarf cultures (abuses of The Code, Fyreslayer's stubbornness). They have some rather interesting characters, with at least three of them having actual models! But Gotrek Gurnisson, Brokk Grungsson, and Drekki Flynt (not to mention the one-off known as Jakob Bugmansson) aren't allowed to be the badasses they're meant to be until Grombrindal makes his appearance on the Grand-Stage. Glutos was one of the models I was most looking forward to for the Hedonites, he's essentially a Tyranid with a taste for the finer things in life and can cast magic too! unfortunately, he and every new Slaanesh champ besides Sigvald have been forced to only be their most basic selves for some reason, and it's infuriating... it's honestly the same for the other three gods and their favorite pets/lovers in the case of Valkia (except for Tzeentch but he doesn't really have any mortal champs to mess around with). I can't complain about Grand Alliance Death because they're actually seeing movement! Neferata and Manfred have kicked off a civil war in the wake of Nagash's latest round of dementia and there's no Arkhan at the moment to mediate between the two so it's gonna get bloody (pun intended). Katakros has been infected with Chaos-Madness while besieging Archaon's crib, and it looks like the Ossiarch are marshaling for a rematch with Teclis. The Nighthaunt have inadvertently kicked off Be'lakor's ascension in the latest round of The Great Game, and The FEC seem to be rallying around someone if those new heralds are any indication..... Despite their lack of epic expansions in the so-called "Age of Beasts," Destruction has caused some serious damage this edition. The gargants are mobilized in a wave a rage and daddy-issues under @KingBrodd's namesake. The Gloomspite Gitz and their numerous sub-factions have called their god-aspect to greater focus and have expanded their territory across the realms. Kragnos, while controversial, has given the guys and gals of GorkaMorka someone to rally behind, and Gordrakk has been given cryptic advice from the big guy himself. All in all it's looking to be an interesting fourth edition.... PROVIDED GW ALLOWS HALF OF THIS MESS TO BE PROPERLY DEVELOPED!!!!

All the time, cause typically it means I have a test coming up… and wouldn’t you know it! Finals are next week!!!

I won't lie, out of the plastic daemon kits the Bloodthirster is the most ridiculous looking. The other three have this aura of mystique and malevolence surrounding them (even the GUO) while still looking somewhat goofy. The Bloodthirster kit.... is just too much...

Thanks @Honk, I've decided on using a mixture of Night Lords and Thousand Sons blue as a base, and working from there.

Dang, that's gotta hurt anyone who spent forge world prices and painted those monstrosities. To those awesome and dedicated souls, you have my sympathies.

Glottkin remind everyone of The End Times, and most people hate being reminded of The End Times. Plus, we got chorfs and Cathay, and Tamurkhan's big campaign book is kinda what inspired a large chunk of the new cathayan army list.

Neferata being a mixed Vampire Counts+Tomb Kings army while leading up to Nagash would be nice...

Place your bets ladies and gents! Shadows of Change: Monkey King, The Changeling, and a Cathayan Tzeentchian Champ, new Kislev units. Thrones of Decay: Tamurkhan The Obviously Slaaneshi one: Snake Mounted Champion/Lord option. The Masque

*Looks at Tzeentch and Slaanesh armies while painting a Tomb King* You are not alone @MitGas, you are not alone.

I quite like this big beefy boi, not enough to ditch LONG LOST NEHEKHARA!!! Of course, but enough to consider an Apis Bull themed army in the near future…. Speaking of Blood Bowl, do we have any idea about what the next team(s) might be?

Nurgle is supposed to be the Chaos God of Plagues and Despair. However, as many people in this thread (such as @MitGas, @Grimrock, and @LordSolarMach) have pointed out, that does not mean he isn't more complex. Nurgle embodies death and decay, but this paradoxically makes him cling onto ideas that have begun to fade. In AOS this has turned into some of his followers having a twisted sense of honor and chivalry, remnants of the knightly orders that fell during the Age of Chaos, that we do not really see anywhere else in the setting. In 40k this paradox manifests in the Death Guard's sense of armor: they stick with a corrupted version of the Mk.III power armor, even though they should by and large have a greater quantity of mk.VI due to Horus's machinations early in the Heresy. Nurglite humor, as we've discussed, is primarily gallows humor: Nurgle finds joy in conditions so horrible that the only way to survive is to go down a very specific path of insanity. We've seen this throughout actual history in various forms, most importantly for this argument the idea of the danse macabre during the Black Death, where dancing skeletons were dressed in the robes of priests, nobles, and peasants to show that no one was safe. The Sloppity Bilepiper is the greatest example of Nurgle's humor: a daemonic jester infected with a disease that forces it to laugh until it falls into a depression, whereupon it's corpse is used to make the instruments of the next jester's ensemble.
