Neverchosen

I hope that one day GW just releases Silent people with a full range and rules with literally no announcements. Just shadow drop them and make them the new meta.

As a huge fan of Chaos I have to say the reveals that often excite me the most have the least to do with my army. I loved seeing all the cool dinosaurs and cities models. I cannot help but be excited to see Flesh Eater courts get their due and I am really pumped about the thought of seeing Knights in Shining Flesh wielding Excalfemur go up against my recently Purchased Chosen. Part of why I love the hobby is due to the various varied factions that make it so fun to play and develop narratives around. If we get a Lady of Ruin model for Slaves to Darkness that evokes the undivided champions of yore I will be extremely excited, but if the entire reveal is just the Flesh Eater Kit that leaked and the Bretonian Pegasus I will still be fairly excited to see them painted and posed. The best part is with the ongoing narrative and the upcoming rework of Tomb Kings we now that we will at least get more than those two reveals.

Wanted to limit myself to classical music, but I am not the most well versed on the subject. As such some of these choices are: painfully clichéd, silly, related to a specific subfaction, or use composers with problematic reputations. I feel like someone else could make a better list but this is a fun start. Chaos: Beasts of Chaos Blades of Khorne Disciples of Tzeentch Hedonites of Slaanesh Maggotkin of Nurgle Skaven Slaves to Darkness Death: Flesh Eater Courts Nighthaunt Ossiarch Bonereapers Soulblight Gravelords Destruction: Gloomspite Gitz Ogor Mawtribes Orruk Warclans Sons of Behemat Order: Cities of Sigmar Daughters of Khaine Fyreslayers Idoneth Deepkin Kharadron Overlords Lumineth Realm-lords Seraphon Stormcast Eternals Sylvaneth Bonus: Silent People Would love if people used more of the public domain works in their batreps, but I know that it can get complicated with specific recordings and record companies auto flagging classical works due to these recordings. Still could help make some batreps stand out.

I am still holding out hope we get one iconic champion for each God and that they get the S2D keyword so we can show the Stormcast a Storm of Chaos. I feel like Valkia is the only Khorne model that is capable of standing side by side with Sigvald. If we can get an updated AOS model in the scale and style of Sigvald that can lead a Slaves to Darkness Army I will gladly get them all and build a themed list for each mark. I know it is silly and I know that more original characters is best for the system. Still I think giving Archaon some Lieutenants from each monogod faction will sow discord amongst the worshippers of Chaos. Plus as the ostensible winners of WHFB having some boss level Chaos Champions will give the forces of Death, Destruction and Order the chance to show how far they have come in defeating these heroes of another world.

Okay team please repost this on every forum until collective action makes it real!

Wow it is such a beautiful sculpt I am worried how much these awesome updated molds will look next to some of the older kits of the Old World. Tomb Kings especially will have a disconnect between modern and classic aesthetics as the skeletons proportions are a lot harder to ignore than a heavily armoured knight.

Soulblight have a raven chewing on a Direwolf, and on some Cursed city models.

I need to get proper boxes for my armies. Like my Choas Warshrine only gets played at home as I don't have anything that can accommodate that stupid thing. I clearly need to get a proper drill to magnetize some of my bigger models. Currently my Frostlord and Huskards are riding with blue tack and prayer.

It might just be from practice or due to my less than stellar vision, but between my Ogors, Chaos Warriors and Stormcast I find painting a Gnoblar more challenging and scary than a highly ornate larger warrior.

Another reminder that I need to get some magnets build all my Chaos Knights... I am not scared of building my giant robots, I am simply a little nervous.

Sorry for a blatantly silly question that will provide lots of needless speculation and no answers. If the Skaven rumour proves true (which I suspect it will), does anyone have any ideas which if any Subfaction will be the focus? Is there enough unit diversity for the box to focus on Verminus or will they possibly put one of the major clans in the box. I feel like the realm itself could be a clue when we see which direction the narrative takes us. For example if the narrative moves toward Ulgu I feel like Eshin become an obvious choice.

Not sure if it is the same design team but Warcry is pretty much always the best sculpts at GW since launch. A quick overview of just a few favourites: Even the ones that are not my favourites are amazingly sculpted and posed but are just not my favourite design concepts.

The fact that Fyreslayers get female representation before Kharadron proves that it is easier to break into an ancient patriarchal religious order than break the glass ceiling of capitalism. But I absolutely love these models and I am interested in if the newer Fyreslayers will follow this aesthetic as it is bang on.

Also might be a set up for a certain God of the hunt to come out of hiding to pursue the interlopers.

I think that is why I love AOS you can disagree with the narrative descision and theme your army around orthodoxy to the Old World if you want, or just get weird with it and go head first into High Fantasy tropes and Gods hanging out with their followers. So if you want to make a Daughters of Khaine Coven, Chaos Cult or Duardin City on square bases using WHFB models dedicated to bringing back the old world that would weirdly fit right into AOS lore. I keep thinking if people like the setting of the old world just set your games there. I am not confident that the Old World wasn't in its own version of the realms and that Age of Sigmar is a more epic setting in a never ending cycle of Chaos, Order, Death and Destruction that stretches to eternity and back. But then again I did have a Fungoid Cave-Shaman make me a delicious Mushroom Risotto for lunch.

I feel like Harry would be an awesome anniversary model. The question is what system would he be for and would he get rules or just be a Chaos Lord. It would be fun if each Grand Alliance got a Gotrek Styled hero on foot that can be a powerhouse for any army. Harry would be a fun model to fit that bill.

I can see it being a base detail for a chaos model as they seem to like to impale skulls heads and bodies on their eight point stars. I am up for it being Flesh Eaters as I have said a million times cavalry of either impaled bodies on rabid horses or Ghouls with skeletal hobby horses would both make potentially hilarious and twisted Flesh Eater Knights. I think this could easily be the rider pinned to the mount in the first suggestion.

Come on Wyveryn Cavalry in the vein of Stormdrake Guard!

I keep wondering if they will try a Harlequin style release and see if they can stand on their own before consolidating. Conversely I think it is less of a risk to build out a subfaction into an eventual release so I am inclined to agree with you. Although, I do imagine that if Malerion's forces merge with Daughter's of Khaine they will become the dominate side of the force. Personally I am not against souping and would selfishly stock pile a few hellcanons.

I am really thinking about how Chaos Dwarves might become consolidated into Slaves to Darkness as a unique and fully playable subfaction. Then it hit me that I find it curious how many of the remaining rumoured and fan favourite factions are all capable of being souped into existing factions and how with each I can see the logic for and against consolidating them with a current army. Malerion's Aelves - Daughters of Khaine Dispossessed - Either Duardin faction, or as a new wave of Cities Chaos Dwarves - Slaves to Darkness Grotbag Scuttlers - Gloomspite Gitz Vampirates - Soulblight Kurnothi - Sylvanth (More or less confirmed by Whitefang) The only potential army that does not have a directly comparable related army seems to be Silent People but of course there is so little information on them currently that it is possible that they pop up as a subfaction in something in the future.

This would be amazing and could also fit into my dream of getting a proper seige ruleset as different factions begin to incorporate more robust seige equipment into their armies. I have been thinking of Ulgu tying to Skaven (assuming the starter set runours prove true) due to their sneaky nature but Chamon meeting their technological innovations is actually a really great call.

I am already thinking of ways to implement her into my narratives and missions. I feel like I will proxy her for Astreia Solbright for my Stormcast and as Pontifex Zenestra if I get Cities. Of course if I don't find a good trade for my Space Marines, I think having my rose marines lead by Lady El'Johnson on a Unicorn will at the very least force my opponents to rage quit most games due to lore inaccuracies.

I went grey initially with my odors but switched it up to an icy blue as I found the grey skin on top of wintery Beasts a little monochromatic. I did love the look of the odors on their own though

Such a glow up the fact that I use an icy scheme means these will double as Yhettees. I am beyond excited, just wondering if I can trade my Space Marines from Leviathan and the ones from the Starter set with Necrons for the Cities box and then double up with the Warcry set?

Fun reveal lots more than I expected: Space Marines: As the proud owner of a (for sale) Space Marine army I will say that everything looked good but also pretty darn repetitive. AOS: Reign of the Brute - Trugg is just fantastic and that box set is just wonderful. As a sleepy individual with a civilization built upon my back I can relate. The Orruks are great to no one’s surprise. Zoggrock and Klonk are a fun named duo but a little simplistic and I hope they are fun to play (Okay Klonk is not simple). Ragerz and Wrekkaz are exactly what I want out of Ironjawz even just from the narrative perspective of Orruk Slayers and Fanatics! Ardboyz really great and looking forward to seeing them on the battlefield. HH: I feel like I am going to lose friends here but I think Primaris are better than First Born or whatever the old school are called. I did like Beakies but I find these less interesting. My ambivalence towards marines does not apply to artillery Mech that Dorito Dreadnaught is dope! I also think the new set is pretty good looking value assuming it is not too pricey. Warcry: Hunter and Hunted— Okay I need this so badly the Gorgers are amazing and the terrain is pretty amazing. I feel like I will get prices out of this but maybe if I can trade my space marines for the new Cities box I can get this and build out two armies. Still those Gorgers will make it into my Ogor army and might proxy as Ogroids. I am reading the once and future king so the Wildercorps feel really at home with my current fantasy imagination. I kind of like the small terrain piece thing but I also expect the boxes to be too expensive for what we get. Blood bowl: LOL and YES! Cool looking models that will look great in AOS with some work. Underworlds This game should just always feature Idoneth as the models are fantastic and gets us some critters, the Slaanesh models are unbelievable too! The jellyfish on the hero’s base is so nice but that squid is the star. Still keeping my nose out of the game but I love the models. There is some nice old school call backs with the Slaanesh models. Old World: UNICORN, I am getting this no matter what! She will become a central point of all my narratives! Also my poor painting will butcher it lol Resin… Possible Primarch costs… okay never mind Horus Heresy 2.0: Fulgrim I was so excited that they were announcing Emperor’s children and I was so ready to get this. Between this, the resin unicorn and Trugg this has been the most trolly reveal ever and I am into it! I say Warcry takes it for the day, with AOS as a close second. Old World would have won if only the Unicorn was plastic.
