    They are a Mary Sue because even when we are told how bad their society is and how they are constantly sabotaging themselves (supposedly) somehow all of that never amounts to anything real because they always succeed in whatever they do without anybody being able to oppose them. So yes, they are quite the Mary Sue and yes, I know what a Mary Sue is, thanks for the attempt at discrediting me because you don't like my opinion. 

    Thats not really what a Mary Sue is. A Mary Sue is a flawless character (or group in this case) that always seems to win and be better than the others due to author favoritism/self-insert. You could say Skaven are unrealistic in how they operate due to their backstabbing nature ingrained into their society, but I wouldn't say they succeed all the time, in stories they tend to be the irredeemable bad guy who loses in the end. Sure they get stuff done due to espionage and such, but they definitely aren't one of the "winner" factions in lore at least.

    I would hope that skaven or beasts of chaos get something significant before making yet another new faction for chaos 

    I mean Chaos Dwarfs aren't new, and they've been stuck with an overpriced FW line that got discontinued recently. I get what you mean though. Chaos Dwarfs have always been my favorite faction so I'm hoping for them first, even though I'd love to see BoC and Skaven get updates.

  3. With the name Dominion confirmed, along with the cauldron bit, this likely means the part about "Hobgobs" trading with Chaos Dwarfs is true as well. Really hoping Chorfs come next, since we just got a Death release, with an Order and destruction release on the way, we'd be due a Chaos release.

    Do we know where the initial Destruction army rumors came from?

    The swamp theme doesn’t seem to work with Steppe Hobgoblin wolf riders. Doesn’t feel AoS-y enough. 
     

    this rumor engine definitely feels like it could be a Goblinoid frog spear.

    Edit: I take it back. This is the rear end of Zodgrod’s gretchin prodder.

    Its close, but it isnt the same. Zogrod's staf has a leather strap at the end tying the prongs together, and has some science-y tubes. I definitely think this is part of whatever the new Destruction faction will be.
