Legitimately curious; every time Nurgle is mentioned Tamurkhan is the number 1 go to as far as new characters goes. I do not remember anyone ever mentioning the Glottkin. Any reason why they would not be a good pick as well?

I suggested so (and pointed out that this was a missed opportunity to do a dual Ogroid/Bullgor kit). One small point of difference, beside the heads are the fact that Beastman do not have tails.

Looks more than a just a Warcry warband to me.... is it really happening?

Even sillier, it's hard to understand why they thought Vyrkos needed an 8th unique character while all other only have one. At least they could have given the Battletome a new Vyrkos themed cover... Vyrkos: - Belladamma Volga - Gorslav - Kritza - Lady Annika - Radukar (x2) - Torgilius - Halgrim Avengorii: - Lauka Vai Kastelai: - Prince Vhordai Legion of Night: - Mannfred Legion of Blood: - Neferata

What you don't see is the fact that the Slaanesh symbol on the top is actually the tip of a fountain of sweet Slaaneshi nectar of unknown origin. Also I heard that the ribbed texture of the rock provide quite the sensations to anyone wanting to rub his back against it.

Or underworlds for that matter. The lone Warcry Beastman they did in the Spire Tyrants was one of the most awesome model they released. Such a shame he is tied to a StD warband.

look there to get an idea of options https://www.battle-mallet.com/nemesis-decks/ Keep in mind the warband is one of the first ones released and has not aged well (it's probably one of the worst in the game) so I would not recommend tracking them down if you are new to the game

Not sure if it was mentioned, but it seems the Khorne hero is female!

Well they did remove Khorne, Slaanesh, SBGL and OBR books from their website, so there is little chance they do not receive a new one soon.

Hard to say, even the new Cursed City game is pretty bellow average as far as similar dungeons crawler games go. The sad thing is there are fantastic Warhammer games like Chaos in the Old World released in 2009 by FFG, but since GW parted ways with them, I dont know if we ever saw any Warhammer game worth mentioning.

We received a Khorne slaughter-priest not long ago. They have staffs like sorcerers.

That's true and I do love the models (and they are from ghur), though the units are way too cheap in points to build an entire STD army around them, so I had to pass on that. Weirdly enough, they were a Destruction faction before having their city being destroyed by orruks and joining Archaon

The most frustrating part is they seem to be missing easy opportunities. For example they just release a trio of bad-ass looking bull like creatures in the form of Ogroid Theridons; one champion, one musician and one flag bearer. Does that remind anyone of a Best of Chaos unit? They even went the extra mile and made them alternative heads and horns sculpts. Why couldn't they include some bullgors heads as well? Why not do an easy refresh of an old unit?

I never got the last Underworld warband that had a tzaangor in it (they were not good in Underworlds and I dont play Tzeentch), but I am with you on this, I'd like to have the new warband with a lot of varied units: mortal, demons, tzaangor and maybe a curseling? I really hope they are not as boring and uniform as the last DOK warband...

Ferban up there already answered some of that, but I'll add that only registered users can leave a ranking (and only one obviously) and it takes a lot of vote to influence the ranking. For example for Underworlds, there are some 2800 users that rated the game. There is certainly a bit of that, but many other GW games did very well and let's not forget there are more than 125 000 ranked games on BBG, so it is not the worst thing being at 4270. BGG's ranking reflects the opinion of the whole gaming community, not just the wargaming one, so as much as everyone here might like the game, we would be kidding ourselves if we said AOS has the possibility to become a fan favorite game across gamers from all around the World. This is true, but aren't wargames just a subtype of board games? It's been a long time since the expression referred only to traditional games played on an actual board. Sure, but again, the list I gave prove some of GW games are considered excellent as well.
