I like the teal and purple scheme it looks really cool

Eternal conflagration flamers look like they pretty decent shooting

They should make a tree-revenant unit with bows and definitely keep up with the Greco-Roman themes with the satyrs and centaurs. I’d love to see the naiads they mentioned in the from the deep short story https://ageofsigmar.lexicanum.com/wiki/Water_Spirits

Maybe the next broken realms book will function as the expansion and as they roll out the second wave they could drop the reworked battletome. they could simply add that you gain a depravity point for each unit that engaged in a combat and didn’t get whipped out each turn on top of the character wounds mechanic and raise the costs of the summoning pool accordingly. This would motivate people to get larger units which would lead to more sets being sold. as an aside I never really considered getting a slaanesh army until this whole thing and the more I think about it the more I think I might jump in and get a few of these new sets. I once owned ninety daemonettes back in 8th wfb and I’m not gonna lie I never really liked them. I even converted a few as lamia with the lower halves of tyranid ravenors and had a good fifteen seekers but the models just never really stuck with me. I mostly used blood letters and plaguebearers in those days so I never got motivated to give them a chance. Now I might give slaanesh a second chance if these kits are somewhat affordable.

After all these new mortal units I’m kinda feeling bad for nurgle only getting the fly riders, one hero and terrain piece with their battletome.

Thank you for the thought out reply. My apologies for coming across as an wsshole. You didn’t factor in battleshock which would have put the warriors at a disadvantage as well. The way it seems there is no real way to fix disparity other than chalking it up to either bad rules writing or a bad matchup. Sorry again I got heated thinking of folks having to rebase their entire are for slightly bigger bases just for the sake of balance. even if the rules for these units were adjusted to fit the difference between base size advantage I feel as though it wouldn’t necessarily make a difference. I know the models come before the game and selling more is important to the hobby, I just don’t want to have to see people suffer another big issue like when they decided that square bases had to be replaced by rounds. perhaps the blissbarb archers will come in twenty man units and they can function as well at holding objectives as you say smaller bases do.

I understand what you all are getting at I just don’t see how it is that much of a disadvantage for the bigger models. After setting up 10 32mm against 10 20mm it really doesn’t seem like it’s a game changing dynamic to force units like witch elves(that have a nil save outside the alter giving the ward save) or mortek(which have a fairly generic stat line and access to the same buffs as most units as rerolls and +1 to hit and attacks are fairly common across the game) I just don’t see how that should force the ones that can pull 4-5 4+ to wound attacks at a disadvantage because of the daunting number of attacks that unit can generate. If every unit was on 32mm like it was warmachine the weaker units like these chainrasps wouldn’t even need to both existing as they would be the same as any other basic unit in their faction. I get how it could be frustrating to have to face that in a game I just don’t see why it is that big of a deal. In all honesty I hope that the blissbarb archers get two shots with the -1 rend as it is something that chaos is sorely missing all across the faction and other than horrors, ungor, and marauders I can’t really think of anything that has a 25mm base. if I am still missing the point please let me know. also the proportions for the square to circle bases are nearly the same so the comparison is still well enough to be made.

I guess everyone who is going to vote has cast their vote already and I’m gonna call it as a tie between nighthaunt and tzeentch. Unless anyone wants to cast one between now and the morning 🤪

I heard the same arguments from my friends back in the fantasy battles days who both used 20mm base unit hordes which got 3 ranks of attacks and every time I used the 25mm base saurus warriors, chaos daemons or chaos warriors I never really ran into a problem where I felt that the units were unfairly priced. I understand when it is something like mortek guard that have the 2” range but how many more models do the 20mm bases really get into combat especially when they have the 1” range ? Like 3 models to every 2 32mm base models?

What advantages would those units have if they were on 32mm bases? Would it help the situation if they toned down on the multiple synergies that those units get as opposed to rebasing them and making people have to go and get slightly bigger bases.

By 25mm do you mean skeleton warriors cheez or like freeguild guard as cheez?

There is also Sigvald who in his previous incarnation was a pretty decent combat chaos character. I totally agree @Enoby slaanesh needs a character and atleast several spells or prayers that affect the main keyword and not just the sub factions. I think this would motivate people to not just buy more daemons and mortals but to be willing to try different lists with a variety of units . I’m of the camp that more inclusive rules would help GW sell more figures which is good in the long run for all parties included.

Every time that I have traded with folks on sites like dakka swap shop or whatever I always had someone trying to get the better of me so I try and stay away from that. Once traded 10,000 points of fantasy skaven for 500 dollars worth of warmachine models and I regret it all the time.

I tried looking for it but they are charging 30 US dollars an issue on eBay and I live in the States so we don’t get a chance to subscribe to it. I’m totally down to get a huge nighthaunt collection of that’s the way the wind blows lol. I really appreciate everyone’s vote so far.

I have some time of each of these armies. You can see what I’ve done in my blog entries if you’re curious. I’m really open to expanding any of them. I’m glad folks are actually voting!

Let me know what you think I should work on next

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I was under the impression that teclis built a tower that buffered the realm of Hysh from the necroquake.

Where did you see that at?

The slaangors look like they will have the warherd keyword with how much in common they have with in the face. the vignette also has a horn coming from its head so that’s a big departure from the steeds we already have.

Beasts of chaos are another faction with a lot of mutants. Particularly twistfray as the venerate morghur who used to turn folks into spawn just by being around him.

Atleast we know they are paying attention to what gets leaked lol. exalted steed of slaanesh could be either a bigger steed or the boobsnake. I’m sure it’ll be known sooner or later

After looking at it for a few minutes at the steeds of slaanesh I have to agree that they are probably just another unit of mortals mounted on them like hellstriders. The frill that’s visible on the left side of the small picture of the new unit entry looks like the frills from the other steeds of slaanesh units.

Maybe it’s like the eel riders with four wounds but with a lower save to keep up with the lightly armored slaanesh rule of thumb. Though the new elite units break the mold on that so I guess we will see. I think people here have already guessed it right being a light cavalry unit on either a seed of slaanesh or whatever the daemons mount for slaanesh is called. Boobsnake I guess though Morathi took that and ran with it full tilt.

Most likely it’s just the mortal keyword like bloodbound, arcanites, and rotbringers. I assume it sybarite but who’s to tell at this point. The seeker model is going to be interesting for sure.
