There's just one thing that worried me about the Twitch stream yesterday with Ben Johnson. He didn't want to disclose to much, but at some point, he did mention that the hedonites book is limited to the warscrolls that are in said book (a bit like Legions of Nagash is limited to the 33 warscrolls in their book).
That being said, they did expand that list (for LoN) through a FAQ with more warscrolls after the nighthaunt release drops. Perhaps something similar can happen here. -
Slaanesh is the smallest mono-chaos God book, that's for sure. The mortals not being there feel like a missed opportunity, but this release does tie you over for a couple of years I suppose.
I was a bit let down that the FEC only got a single hero, spells and terrain. but then I remembered how much work I still have with all my nighthaunt, Legions of Nagash and shadespite... And warcry is going to be added to the mix. So, my initial sadness of "not that many releases" oddly made way for being happy that the FEC feel quite "complete" for a change. After a bit of that sinking in, I was actually quite pleased.
I'm just not sure how well the hedonite rules will interact with slaves to darkness (who will surely be getting an update soon). Jess (on Stormcast) essentially said the focus would shift back a bit to chaos after all this death stuff. -
That Subvert spell can really mess up a LoN player's plans if it goes off.
Also, fear not! I've found some amazing Slaanesh dice online:

Stormcast already have colour-coded chapters! They just don't have separate books/minis yet

I'm really not looking forward to a 40k like situation where 20% of all codexes are just a variation of marines in a different colour and 2-3 unique units.
AoS actually has a more healthy mix of armies and I hope they don't ****** that up like they did for 40k. Big burly dudes in heavy armor can exist for every grand alliance essentially, but not if they leave factions like Ironjawz lingering (compared to stormcast at least).-

I'm not panicking about any subfactions not being there from the start... These are the bands who will be there day 1.
Nothing stops them from adding in anything at a later date.
Maybe LoN isn't there day 1... I could see that happen, as they are massively hero focused and killteam also launched without any proper HQ heroes. Sounds like an expansion waiting to happen with LoN if they do that. -

Honestly while I would be happy with any new idoneth models, I believe that I would be just as happy with previously boxed models, a la' kill teams.
Getting your hopes up beyond this, would be silly.
I don't think any existing ranges will have new models released, so only new chaos models and terrain for now is my guess.-

Work has picked up again!

So this is necromunda, but instead of imperial gangs only, they've opted for chaos gangs only.
I'm not sure I have any interest in the game itself, but the scenery might make it worthwhile to pick up, it'll be dependent on the retail price. -
So the endless spells are completely finished! I also set the white balance a bit better. The previous pictures balanced it very much towards the red end of the spectrum. These pictures with slightly lower lighting is more like they appear irl rather than bright lightbox:
Also, the Archregent's base (and minor blood effects) are also finished:

It was a super quick and easy paintjob... Everything was just painted in bone, drybrushed and highlighted, shaded with army painter dark tone and then the skintone was done with tamiya clear red.
The whole thing was super easy to do.
*edit* the nighthaunt were not a rushed job though... It's the subfaction that I'm really taking my time with and putting in a bit more effort compared to the rest.-

That archregent looks really great, I really dig the pale, blue-ish look you got going on the skin - and I also love your basing on it. Would you be so kind and give me a hint where you get such fine sand for basing? It looks really awesome as its size works way better with miniatures than most sand I've seen used - hope you don't mind the question but there are so many talented people here I kinda have to ask and learn a few things...
I don't mind answering at all...
I've used bird sand. It's the type of super fine sand (often with some ground up sea shells in there) they put on the bottom of bird cages to act as a type of litter. Costs next to nothing, but is indeed a lot finer than traditional modelling sand.-

And back to my original FEC army!

Personally, I'm quite surprised as well at the overall negativity. These are mostly teasers, sure... But actually shows me that they have taken some things seriously:
- more spread out love for each GA (compare now with 2 years ago)- extra stuff that benefits all is still being added.
- Older battletomes are getting a refresh so you don't get left out for too long.
There's still a lot of stuff that needs work, but it's being done at a pretty high speed. Maybe so much so, that it's creating a lot of entitlement even.-

So I got everything on the gaming table for a group shot. Hard to make everything out nicely in my dark-ish mancave though...

This might just be me getting my hopes up too much...
But what is that giant dead-ish ox pulling that cart in the background (red square around it)? Also, there appear to be ghouls carrying banners, so that's 2 things on those warscroll cards that not accounted for with the current model range.

Anything that finally allows FEC to pick different battleline options without ridiculous general requirements, is more than welcome.
It'll be a pity if they only gave us one hero, but at least it won't be the same Mono-Build over and over again.

Does anybody have any idea when the next big event is that could have more AoS related reveals? I've not found a nice overview of 2019 yet with all the major events like nova, adepticon,... where they usually do these types of reveal seminars.
