I don't know has an AoS feel to it for me, just stone no rivets and what looks like bladed weapon damage, GW do like a bullet hole for 40K stuff.
Might just be me but unlike some of the painted or sprue rumors we have seen this one looks like its lower quality or atleast cast in a different material.
As in its still hasent been put into production yet?
Could that possibly mean its a rumor for a long way off. Remember the first ever rumor on the engine was of something we think is for the Duardin which we have yet to see.
So it could by all right be just about anything

All the cool stuff is not applicable. And sadly the general order abilities are not good for ranged units (my non Stormcast units).
oh well. I will hold judgement till I read the full book. But not a good way to attract new ppl.
I would have to agree. To me it feels like we are being shepherded into very specific pens now. Its a shame in my oppinion. Mixed factions are so much more interesting IMO

I guess we're veering off topic here, but I'd say the Khorgorath looked off as a WHFB model, which is mainly what we had to compare it to at the time. Same for the Wrathmongers, which people complained were too big, exaggerated and over the top when they were released for End Times. I think with hindsight they fit very well into the exaggerated high fantasy style of AoS. A lot of the old range looks quite mundane by comparison. And to swing us back on topic slightly, perhaps it's this stylistic shift that Forgeworld needs to catch up with and start reflecting in future pieces.
I dont think discussing the new release is to of topic especially in the absence if any decent rumors.
But yes i would agree with you. Other than a few extra models in the range im struggling to justify their existance to myself nowdays or at the very least (As obviously they provide many heresy and 40k bits) the premium prices we are expected to pay for models that are really lacking.

Yeah, absolutely. It took a while to grow on me I'll admit. But like it or not, it does have a very distinctive and stylised look that the Forgeworld Khorgorath hasn't even bothered to pay lip service to.
Yeah my previous comment wasent suggesting that the sculpt is bade by any stretch of the imagination. It just looked a little off as an AOS model. Perhaps a different paint scheme will sort it out?

Its kind

Its kind of like skarbrand all over again. Just dont get caught up.in prolonged combat with this.guy. his damage potential does have the right to be huge he is khornes after all . . . .

I don't think Forgeworld have quite succeeded in capturing the vibe of AoS yet. The few things they've put out seem very dark, gritty and down to earth - they really need to go more high fantasy and OTT. It used to be that GW proper did the basic stuff and the Forgeworld stuff was absolutely mind blowing by comparison, but now the GW plastics are just so much better than Forgeworld's efforts.
See funnily enough in this case it feels like the opposite is true.
I would agree with 100% in other instances but now i look at it he actually looks a little to cartoony to me. Especially wen you compare him to a bloodthirster.

Is Harrow Meat's Hunger not a bit nuts?
Its not so bad. Its 1 additional attack per round. Considering how long games.last and you need time to get into combat i would expect 4/5 at the very most?
The command ability is meh but hes a pretty good combat monster

Really kinda meh for his model.
Command ability sucks too.
Id agree that heir is something not quite right with it . . . .

Proportions are a little strange...maybe a touch down the wow path. I think it's the thighs are a bit long/skinny, Pauldrons are a touch too big, feet are also a tad too small. Not huge differences, but discernible.
Yeah looks almost like a normal sized marine in really big armor.

This smells like a separate thread with the stink of Slaanesh all over it. More rumors less ambiguity, please!

Aelves don't seem like two wound units. If we're going by the model for chaos armies so far.
Mounted?
Plus they would be Slaanash Aelfs. Thats about as glass cannon as you can get isent it. Subtract a wound and add lightning speed and nasty attacks.

Why not focus on the excess? A 7 deadly sins approach for units. 7 archetypes.
Lust, well that's the traditional format.
Gluttony - Big Fat Aelves
Greed - a kind of madness for trinkets and gold.
Sloth - how would sloth work at all (unless it's an actual REALM SLOTH)?
Wrath - too Khornate?
Envy - Steal all the enemy unit's stuff
Pride - Most Aelves no doubt.
Annnd there are more than a few loopholes in that approach.
Could be interesting though.
Thats an interesting idea heres my take:
Lust: could refer to sexual or just an overwhelming desire for something (Cake!!)
Gluttony:
Greed: Desire fr excess (one of Slaanesh's core ideals) not to be confused with the lust or envy. But simply an unending desire to experience or posses more than one has.
Sloth: Sloth is laziness. so perhaps the wish to have something for nothing.
Wrath: Again its an excess. A desire for vegeance or death over bloodlust for the sake of bloodlust.
Envy: What you said
Pride: What you said.
However most of those interlink in someways so i dont know if you would be able to focus a unit on each one but instead combine them in different ways.
One way would be a daemon (like a horror) that shows chracteristics of each (Kind of like the daemons from Devil may cry 3)
In many ways it is the same as what Slaanash already does but with more of a theme. Slaanesh's 7 commandments.
You could even have it as a battle trait like Tzeentch's destiny dice.
You could perform various acts during the battle that represent the pursuits of one of the sins of excess which results in a buff for your army.
E.g. Sloth: Any units in your army that dont move this turn gain X. or Wrath: choose a unit at the start of the game if you destroy it you gain X of something like that.

Idea of Shadowking that I like is very Eldar-alike they would be against Chaos but they will have own agenda. Both Shard and Saih from Silver Tower are able to sacrifice anything to accomplish goals. That's better that straight-up evil Dark Elves.
So I guess we will get two Elves factions (Shadowkin and Light Elves) in GA Order (and maybe even some shared battalions as Tyrion and Malerion were/are working together to save their people and Teclis was working with Malekith even before that) and my wild guess is that Slaasnesh elves will be subfaction in Disciples of Slaasnesh Battletome like Tzaangors are in DoT ( 2-3 units + 2 characters one being Morathi I guess)
That's nice summer release idea :
- Shadowkin and Light elves Battletome (or even one big Tzeentch alike Aelves Battletome as those Elves that Tyrion and Malerion went after will probably worshipp both them as gods) problem is how many big kits they want to push I guess Malerion and Tyrion/Teclic ( twins could be one kit I guess as Tyrion is using Teclis eyes to see) would be big Alarielle,Nagash alike kits
- Disciples of Slaanesh Battletome with Elves worhshippers)
Im hoping much the same.
Karic acolytes = Mortals of Excess
Tzaangors = Elite Elfkin units
Daemons = Daemons(But new daemons!)

I am absolutely fine with Saaneshi Elves under Morathi, as long as mortal human warrior followers remain a thing and there are Slaangor in the mix as well.
Though I have to question the certainty with which Slaanesh is stated to be in Uglu. Malerion captured Slaanesh in collaboration with Tyrion, couldn't Slaanesh be held in Hysh just as well? Or even somewhere else entirely? You are not exactly hiding something when you just take it to your homebase.
This might of been just an assumption on my part but i was under the impression that they didnt take him anywhere. I thought Slaanesh hid to digest the elves in somewhere and the Tyrion and Malerion found him and proceeded to beat him up until he vomited out the elf souls. They may have built a city of fortress around him/her??

Still as with all rumors you take it with a grain of salt I am going to entertain it as possibly true. Now when AOS came out we all remember this image right? I mean white dwarf hinted where did the dark prince go? Then gave us this image.
Now that symbol to me looks like a headdress of sorts and they note that slaanesh throne is empty and slaanesh is being held in Ulgu. There is also another certain character who is also in Ulgu with Malerion and it's noted when he found her she was "changed". Now do recall the rumor said some elves will be joining slaanesh and who was the head of the cult of pleasure in whfb? During the end times slaanesh spirited her away for unknown purposes before Malerion found her again. Now that symbol looks kinda similar to her headdress.
Also in the slaanesh short story the slaaneshi warband entertain the idea that possibly slaanesh allowed itself to be captured. Now possibly Morathi may become slaanesh or join with slaanesh or most likely will be an important figure in the storyline.
Speaking as a slaanesh fan, slaanesh has too much baggage with the fanbase most people who are aware of fluff know that slaanesh is not really about sex. Yet people always think of that when it comes to slaanesh Personally I see this as GW's opportunity to redefine slaanesh and take some of the dark eldar's angle on excess and it's honestly easier to market. I could be wrong but that's just my theory.
I think this sounds very plausible indeed.
However are we then saying tat we expect three elf factions to appear? Tyrions crew, Malekiths Guys AND a evil Morathi/Slannash army?
or will Malerion turn to the darkside as well?
And what would this mean for the exile models.
Id be surprised if they just up and shifted them all over a grand alliance just like that . . . perhaps they could incorporate it so you can actually choose what faction the exiles are at the start of the battle and go from there.
What i think would be interesting is for Slaanesh and morathi to merge and become something that isent really either. And for Slaanesh as a result to become an outcast god fighting to regain his/her place amoung the pantheon thus creating a offshoot from chaos.

I wasn't such a fan of the fyreslayers until I saw them in person. Took this pic at gw tottenham court road earlier today as it reminded me how bad ass the naked little dudes look
Not the fyreslayers in general. i actually really like them.
Just thought their beards wearnt all that.

I would put money on that being a Terminator hero as you can see the vents like on the back of them. possibly a librarian of some sort from the cables and and shape of the back of it.
Also there is a hint of a cloak.

If this were the case I don't think Slaanesh would be getting mentions in the novels, in Disciples of Tzeentch, etc. If their plan was to kill off the god in the transition period between WHFB and AoS they'd have just done so: said 'Slaanesh is gone, the Horned Rat is the new fourth god, thanks bye'.
You say that. However its one thing to assimilate or remove an army like the brets or TK as it would take little effort. However removing one of the one of the 4 most prominent beings in the Warhammer multiverse without giving it its dues would have ended very badly i think.
I dont think they will ever "Destroy" Slaanash for the same reason that GW dont openly deny the existence of Malice (Malal) it would be stupid to take a fully functioning potential army just waiting to have new life breathed into it and get rid of it when you can just leave it on the shelf for a rainy day.

Here's my guess: in the 40K storyline, the Elder defeat/merge with/pull all of their souls out of Slaanesh, taking her out of commission for a bit - as in AoS, but not for as long. This leads up to the relaunch of the Eldar as Aeldari, possibly also in conjunction with the rumoured new edition of 40K. And either Slaanesh is relaunched at the same time, or the Aeldari ARE the new Slaaneshi forces in some way.
Then, immediately afterwards, we get Aelves/Slaanesh stuff in AoS. I'm thinking of the precedent set by Thousand Sons/Disciples of Tzeentch: two game-specific sets of models flanking a bunch of new plastic daemons that can be used in either.
Id have to assume much the same.
Particularly if one of the Aelf factions is next (After the Duaradin that is) that will proberbly be a summer release. As a result of knowing more about Malerion and/or Tyrion i feel that we would need to be given a little more info of what they have being doing to Slaanesh.
Looking round alot of people seem afraid that Slaanesh is on borrowed time. However im certain that you can tweak Slaanesh to play down the "less appealing" aspects as far as the public is concerned. The champion from the Lord of undeath book is proberbly agood example of this.
Should i open up a thread for this? as i dont want to dilute the rumor thread with to much speculation or wish listing.
Or is this on track enough for people?

The new DoT book says that Tzeentch had something to do with Slannesh' disappearance. I would assume as they keep mentioning Slannesh, and keep dropping hints, that the god of pleasure will reappear at some point.
Hmm Maybe perhaps the 40k lore will just give Slaanesh a good slapping and knock him/her out of commision long enough for GW to finalize how they would go about bringing Slannesh back as well as it allowing for it to possibly coincide with an AOS release.
Didnt he just tell Malerion and Tyrion where to find him??
In AOS/WHFB i dont think N'kari as been around at all since the End Times

I just want to add one thing after reading the disciples of tzeentch tome I think tzeentch is trying to find/free slaanesh. Possibly, going by this eldar release slaanesh should be "soon".
Also rumors pointed to a new N'kari.
That avatar of Ynnead would make a great AOS Daemon prince.
Well this is just a wild speculation/question. Has it been confirmed that Slaanesh is staying around. If not i could imagine that Slannesh being "Beaten" (In some shape or form) in the 40k campaign could be the series "Big thing that happens" and would eliminate the rpoblem of having he/she in 40k but not AOS ...... Dont shoot me slaanesh lovers just popped into my brain . ...
