    “I am expecting Skaven later this year, and as far as I know there will be “some” repacks but also plenty of nasty new additions (I seem to recall it’s much more of a Skyre type affair this time around with new technologies/weapons etc.) but I wouldn’t be surprised to see some new plague monk type things. These currently seem to be the favoured skaven subfactions for GW, hopefully the new book will clarify what Skaven are like in the new setting and their backstory from leaving the old world and what they’ve done since arrival etc.”

    I'd really like some new Plague Monks!

    I have the current Battletome by never started Pestilens due to how outdated the Plague Monk plastics are.

    Clans Skryre stuff sounds right up my alley too!

    The Horned Rat took its place within the pantheon. I never said he replaced Slaanesh as a whole!

    I don't think you read what I wrote properly...

    I suspect that we'll see a Nurgle combined tome later this year which rolls Clan Pestilens into a three-part Children of Nurgle force: Mortals, Daemons, and Clan Pestilens.  The plague priests will likely get Nurgle Prayers.  This fits right in line with their current design trajectory and remakes one of those prior tomes.  

    I would not expect any beastmen with this tome, or any other models in general.

    Clans Pestilens aren't Nurgle-worshippers, they follow the Great Horned Rat (now ascended to Slaanesh's former place within the quartet of Chaos gods).

    I'm aware they have the NURGLE keyword, I believe that's more for game-play reasons then thematic.

    If Skaven get a new-style Battletome, it would makes sense for GW to chuck all the Clans into it - Verminus, Pestilens, Skryre, Moulder, Eshin, Masterclan...

     

    Create Your Own Faction (why not)

    Whilst I think most nautical-themed factions are cool - I think the beauty of Age of Sigmar is how GW have taken older and more generic forces, chucked in a load of wacky new concept and come up with something that is still distinctly Warhammer-y yet fresh and new.

    Example, the Merfolk concepts on this thread are great and I can see the effort put into that, but wouldn't they be better as highly-evolved remnants of whatever those sea-based High Elves were called? I was never much of an Elf fan before Age of Sigmar, so the name escapes me! Lothern Sea Guard or something?

    I really hope the first proper Aelf faction release fleshes out the "shadow / Ulgu" elements - things like Malerion, Mistweaver Saih, Tenebrael Shard etc.

    The other alternative that I would go bonkers for is the "Cthulhu Aelves" concept I keep hearing bandied around. If this includes adding to the Scourge Privateers too, all the better!

    2017 has already been fantastic for Age of Sigmar, but I think its gonna get even better!
