  1. That Chaos tome really has all the Khorne aesthetic to it.
  2. The important thing in this update is that GW acknowledged that Hedonites have flaws that need fixing. Truth to be told, I am pretty confident we might get a Tome Celestial in next 3-4 months.
  3. This is what actually bothers me. When our mortal release happened, so many people online and in person spoke highly of new Hedonite models. Five people at my local meta expressed strong desire to buy Hedonite miniatures because they were simply beautiful. They wanted to start playing them and then the rules dropped. Then Lumineth and Soulblight releases came and people jumped ship to those factions, whose rules are far more competitive. I hope that Hedonites sold well, if not, this will have some major consequences for Slaanesh in all GW ranges.
  4. Because Ulgu is the last Realm that is truly unexplored. We have plenty of lore for all other Realms. I just hope that when Malerion and his Shadow Aelves do arrive, they come as their battletome and fully new release in the same way Lumineth got their stuff. I hope DoK stay as their own faction. But regarding era of the Beast, I thought a Kurnothi would be appropriate, the newest WD has a small text on their faith and possibility of Kurnoth being reborn.
  5. Taking into account that "Slaanesh is trapped" is one of major plot narratives of Age of Sigmar, the sheer lack of lore on Hedonites is absolutely tragicomic. We got a few short stories and that parody in BR: Kragnos where the Twins get one shot by a family of witch hunters with a magical bullet. Other factions get full novels, some even several, exploring the various themes of the faction. Slaanesh has always been the most unpopular Chaos deity not because of reasons @MothmanDraws wrote (though they factor in too) but because Slaanesh is deity which explores a bit more mature aspects of life. Skulls and blood, great! Disease and guts, amazing! Semi-naked bodies and excess? STOP RIGHT THERE YOU CRIMINAL SCUM!1 @AngryPanda Glad to have you back among us, my friend.
  6. I know for a fact that they were "actively scrutinizing" the survey data we sent them. That being said, anything beyond that is a enigma to me. They might have looked at data and said, "This should be fixed." or they could have said "These are clearly the results of fan wishing." Still, I would be very, very much surprised if we got totally ignored.
  7. I have been in WHFB/40K for almost 18 years. Chaos player first and foremost. Managed to gather pretty much every Chaos lore book out there. It is very clear that Slaanesh has never been GW favorite god, so to speak. Nurgle and Tzeentch have a coherent philosophy and I would even use word theology for them. Khorne is relatively straightforward. Of all Chaos gods, Slaanesh is the only one of infinite possibilities, which is quite paradoxical given how Slaanesh has been treated in WHFB/40K/AOS. That is to say, Slaanesh has been the neglected one since day one. Over the years, I read and saw explorations of Slaanesh by various fans and while most were below average, some were excellent. That is the thing with Slaanesh, a good dosage of creativity is required to truly make Slaanesh shine. I did not pull that perfume/fragrance idea out of nothing. Years ago, I read a blog where one woman was writing a incredible lore for existing but also completely new daemons and mortals, with accompanying artwork for each hero, unit and monster. In her own words, she took a concept, in this case, the olfactory sense, and explored it in context of Slaanesh. I curse myself for not saving her lore and art, for she deleted he r blog and I was never able to find it again. Slaanesh is a deity of everything, for everything can be taken to excess. But to give a example that all of you can read right now. A Slaaneshi Kurnoth: http://hgpowell.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-woods-of-bloody-thorns-slaaneshs.html
  8. @Enoby This is the result of our surveys, both of them to be precise. GW does listen to feedback if it is properly constructed and articulated. Ours was. ----------------------------------------------------- She Who Thirsts is generous to her devotees!
  9. There have been actual legit rumors about Malerion shadow aelves?
  10. Warcry warbands are amazing! Nurgle could have gotten a bit more, maybe Pestigors and brand new Festus model, but I suppose this is the way it will go. We now know the leak is true, thus 40K side is known to us. Looking forward to World Eaters, I hope they do Emperor Children in the same way the did Thousand Sons and Death Guard.
  11. The Unmade are to me the most aesthetically original Warcry warband. Beautiful models. All of Warcry Chaos warbands are quite amazing, but this spider guy just looks lame.
  12. Strange but definitely a original list and well thought out list.
  13. Case by case basis. Raging Heroes or Creature Caster should be fine in my opinion.
  14. Honestly, I would like to see Kurnothi released as a proper army, not just Underworlds or even Warcry warbands.
  15. @LeonBox Absolutely amazing, you have a very rich imagination! GW should let you write our battletome. Could I ask you for a favor, could you apply your rich imagination and expand upon the Lurid Haze faction, if you could come up with six artefacts of power, six command traits and battle traits that are lore fitting for the Lurid Haze faction? I would be eternally grateful to you if you could do this, since I am planning on making a purely Lurid Haze themed Hedonites (there will be heavy customization of miniatures, I already got various censers from Skaven) army and I am dying for lore inspiration! My thanks in advance!
  16. I can only say thank you to both @LeonBox and @CeleFAZE for their work. Our battletome really does come off as lore shallow overall.
  17. I agree. Honestly, just a point decrease for a few units and Slaangor rewrite. That is all we need. Let us pray to Slaanesh that GW takes a look at our survey data.
  18. We did our part, the rest is up to GW. Tournament data from the world places us at Beasts of Chaos level in competitive scene. For a newly updated army, that is quite bad. People look at armies that got updated such as Lumineth or released such as Soulblight and the difference is truly great. Just take a look where Lumineth and Soulblight end up on tournament data.
  19. @Enoby@AngryPanda My friend has picked up our survey, it has been sent to proper GW departments.
  20. @Enoby you gem! I have sent the document to GW. When my friend picks it up, I will let you all know. Anyway, the results are interesting, Glutos being "No I think they are too highly costed: 145 (51.8%)"
