King Taloren

*squeals like a fangirl* cough cough... I mean... *Manly grunts in excitement*

Though with how similar that looks that could be pointing more confirmation to the idea that there is more Slaanesh models to be revealed

Afaik they have never put the faq or designer commentary on the app. They do update the warscrolls and I guess the battletomes on the app (but I only use the free parts none of the purchasable things) edit: my mistake I have never looked at the library before either. Though I only see updates to this from January of 2018 so I would say no they stopped doing that.

Oh right I forgot Underworlds is a thing. 🤗 Haven’t played it since season one so I kind of overlook it outside of the models.

They said Warcry is aimed for the summer, so I don’t think we’ll see anything aside from more teasers and previews over the next couple of months. I’m hoping Slaanesh too. That was confirmed as the next battletome to be coming out after Fyreslayers. *smeagol voice* It is our birthday present.....

True enough. Heck all of Nighthaunt’s troops and who they used to be is an example of how many different ways he goes about seeking his brand of justice against “sinners” to the God of Death and his domain. Yeah, no telling who’s male or female in Seraphon, I think there is even mention of a female Slaan somewhere. The priest and the engines bring hem into reality and then those that Irvine the battle remain wherever they landed, unless the Seraphon come pick up the remainder and truck them back to their star empire. As for female dwarves, they do exist but they are a slight rarity, only 1-2 out of 10 births among Duardin (least according to the Old world) so they are often considered too valuable to be sent to battle and more often are the ones behind the scenes running the logistics side of things or being the domestic rulers of the household. I don’t know if Stormcast would be able or if Sigmar would let them if they could, after all they are dead heroes and virtuous people that Sigmar deemed worthy enough to be given the gift of reforging into his elite protectors. A good few of them probably had children in life before this, though possibly a good number didn’t having died too young or unwed.

Playing foot soldiers Thralls are the better option as a starting piece. Their abilities put them on par with Witch elf damage even unsupported by heroes, a little better with the built in -1 rend in some cases. Reavers are faster and the 9” ranged attack is their main damage it doesn’t do quite as good as Thralls up close.

The DoK battletome talks or at least hints on things about this. The only males that actively see combat are the Doomfire Warlocks. All the others are in essence are slaves for menial tasks and “other actions”. Purposely kept as the weakest souls that are created by Morathi and a malaise of the soul to weaken any males born to the sisters. Death (excluding FEC I guess?) doesn’t have reproductive abilities, they just continuously get new “supplies” everyday with the countless deaths, natural and otherwise throughout the mortal realms. Save the ones Sigmar takes for his Stormcast and the ones The Idoneth take for themselves. I don’t know if the aelves have a way to stop those souls that already were extracted from Slaanesh from being taken by Nagash afterward, but Nagash is pretty pissed about the aelve souls that they are using to remake their races.

Well in that case they could LoN it up and let Morathi use the endless spells that Molarion gives his faction. Or go in reverse. There is a small precedence that could be a case.

I personally would save the shadowbeasts for Molarion’s elves. He is the master of Ulgu. Morathi is just paying rent there. 😆

As @Overread and @EccentricCircle said. Warhammer Community stated DoK was planned as one of the first 2.0 compatible tomes. And outside of endless spells and terrain they have everything all the other factions do. And honestly I don’t really see terrain or endless spells coming for a while if at all considering how powerful they are without them. Not to mention what kind of terrain would you even give a fast moving murderball? Technically our terrain moves with us anyways. (Cauldron or Avatar) They are quite strong without these that outside of a potential buff endless spell I don’t see much need for them. Especially if they cost the same as 10 witches or a Hag Queen I know which one I’d take.

Outside of GHB adjustments that people are wishlisting like crazy, there won’t be a new Daughters of Khaine tome for a few years. Probably not until after 3.0 comes out depending on how big a rules change they make then.

With the meta so heavily involved in mortal wounds; the high damage units like Eels and Nagash; and the current battlefield setups, i don’t see hordes going away anytime soon. Especially if you include that hordes are your best objective holders in the most map objective heavy game currently. The only way I would see this change is if the game brings more variety to objectives such as kill points, King of hill, steal the relic, etc. things that don’t require someone to camp a center objective and hope they have enough bodies to keep it the whole game. I know there are other maps but that is what it tends to boil down to for actual victory points in matched play. Just about everything else is just secondary objectives from tournaments that don’t impact the main gameplay.

*drools* Oh heck yeah..... If Shalaxi has rules like Lellith in 40k I might go Slaanesh before I finished up my DoK collection

We’ll have to see though for the most those spells. The main reason many of them don’t have ignore by XXXXX faction is that if you end up in a mirror match your main tools are useless. There are mor LoN and Stormcast and Nighthaunt players than probably will ever be for Fyreslayers even with the update. So it makes more sense to not add all this keyword ignore effects of this spell. BoC actually do have a spell or two that include the BoC ignore this effect on their endless spell. Nurgle players can tell you how annoying it is to play another Nurgle player when all your abilities that deal damage are ignored and/or heal you and your opponent.

They will be in the Azyr app. And if they move as fast as the Khorne tome. It’ll be in the app on Saturday even if the book isn’t out yet.

So all of them come on the table on a 3+. Better Prismatic Palisade, better Purple Skull, and better Quicksilver Sword. And no one can do anything to them aside from the player who cast it. Sigmar is doomed!! This is clearly way to overpowered! Games Workshop knows nothing about balance. Vulkites are the new Witch Aelves! Power creep is real! Half Life three is just a cake! All GW wants is money they don’t care about rules or balance! You fools don’t realize the end is coming! There I beat all the naysayers. 😉 Overall they do look strong, I am curious about how long they can stay on the table. Is it going to be a 5+ to stay like Khorne’s Judgements?

Yes allegiance given prayers spells and artifacts cannot be used by allies. which I don’t recall there being any prayers or spells which don’t target a keyword or enemy unit/model so it’s kind of a moot point. Warscroll prayers and spells still work as long as the keyword or friendly unit is satisfied. But yeah to continue this should probably go to th rules question subforum.

Yes they do. Pretty much everything Tzeentch that isn’t mortal is in both 40k and sigmar. And also the same for most of Nurgle and Khorne units so it does fit much better that the talk was simply “Slaanesh is coming with rules for both games”. And it was said a few times there is more to come. Probably start hearing more about Slaanesh releases this coming Sunday after they finish up the prereleases for Fyreslayers.

Which afaik they have been doing a pretty good job with every book that has come out so far even with the accelerated schedule. I don’t recall anyone saying that any of the new books are bad or overpowered to Daughters of Khaine levels.

A few others were connecting it to possibly a Facebook or social media event as a possibility. Though a couple of elements from he looncurse trailer connect to some models in the rumor engine articles so..

I The Keeper of Secrets will be joined by a number of new Slaanesh models that bring to life a magnificent and richly realised cast of Daemon champions, from a new iteration of the Masque to Syll’Esske – an unholy tag team of Daemon Prince and Herald. With so much new stuff for Slaanesh on the way, it’s only fitting that the Dark Prince and his followers should receive a new battletome. With allegiance abilities for the three hosts of Slaanesh – the Invaders, Godseekers and Pretenders – as well as updated warscrolls, spell lores and more, Battletome: Hedonites of Slaanesh will cement these warriors of excess as a major player in both the setting of Warhammer Age of Sigmar and on the tabletop. about there seems to infer there might be more releases to come. With so much new stuff for Slaanesh on the way.

They mention in the Adepticon article that there is more to the Slaanesh release then what was previewed they were showing the new Keeper and some of the newer hero pieces and hinted there was more models to be revealed.

I don’t recall anything about 40k taking precedence this year. Mostly focus has been on sisters of battle coming later this year, and Abbadon’s return but nothing real major for 40k outside I think fine tuning the early 8th Ed books up to par with the rest of the game.

Welp this is probably the one non aelve faction I’m probably going to get.
