Haha! Good eyes there!

Oh, yes. No one said anything about squating them. Chaos Warriors are iconic. Just saying that the lore has them and the game needs the ‘marauder’ types. The simple tribesmen before they ever became mighty Chaos Warriors.

I agree. You are not wrong. Thing is that for too long, GW treated Chaos mortals as iron clad faceless warriors and wasn’t putting any emphasis on the meat and bone of the Norscan hordes. It’s nothing new. If i’m happy It’s because of the presentation.

About Darkoath, If what I read so far is accurate and I understand it right, I really love the direction they are taking. The Darkoath have every right to consider themselves good, or right or being on the right path. Don’t forget that even in the current real world religions, the newer texts are somehow watered down. Now, in the old texts things were totally different. Take the Old Testament’s depictions of the Abrahamic God, or for example the Greek Gods. They have passions, they may act spiteful or vengeful or literally evil. They will send plagues to the enemies of their people, they will sceme, they will kill and maybe give birth to hideous monsters, but for these people, these were their gods. Now imagine a barbarian, being born in a society where those are their gods, and guess what? Those gods actually exist. I love the idea of the proud tribesmen that are undeniably Chaos, but can doubt and mock and compete with their gods, and not be completely one dimensional, null, killing machines. If done right, Darkoath can be one of the most interesting factions in the history of Warhammer.

I still hope for Slaanesh mortals and/or beasts. I believe that KoS dual kit is a given, and we’ve already seen the fiend.

Daaaamn!

I just hope for a full model redesign, even though Daemonettes are fairly new. I don’t mind their design, but the poses are very static and don’t match their whole aesthetic. Ideally we’ll get some awesome looking Slaanesh mortals. Definitely we’re getting a new KoS. Longshot/wishlist, we’re getting some Slaanesh beastmen.

Hope Wrath and Rapture is this year. I’d be very glad if it comes between November and January.

Minor sub-factions are cool, and even if they are too small or niche to be fully realized armies, they can work as Underworlds warbands or in a new boxed game. That said, right. We are on rumors. Let’s just admire this faction and move to actual rumor discussion.

Damn! Undead pirates in AoS would be so cool...

Please stahp. I’m gonna cry!!
