I had a brief vision just now of Kragnos bringing with him a whole new army and set of allegiance abilities and artefacts if he's the general.  Don't know if that's just Tzeentch toying with me, or the mushroom I just ate (which would make it an accurate prediction).

It just struck me; Kragnos claims "my people are gone", but if he heads over to Ghyran...

 

Tell me Skaeth (centaur boy) isn't a dead ringer for a descendant of Kragnos' people.

So as In starting to Read the armybook I notice One strange thing: why dont we have a Hero on a stead? Seems like something we should have...

I was pretty surprised they didn't make an updated version of the old Lord of Slaanesh metal model, especially since s/he was basically the ancestor of the Myrmidesh aesthetic. 

Spoiler

Granted, I'm also surprised they didn't release any Slaanesh Ogors dedicated to gluttony with Glutos, so maybe I'm just odd.

They need to come down in cost, hopefully GW reads through the survey we sent them.

Also, once again, I truly hope the Twins are not defeated by Kragnos or Kroak.

Well, unfortunately, someone has to take the L, and if it's a triple threat between Krag, Kroak, and the Twins, it's 33% chance it'll be us.

From various comments online, while some Soulblight players are indeed having worries, neither Soulblight nor Lumineth would trade their rules and cost for Hedonite rules and cost. I asked more than once, including some great tournament players in my local meta.

Also, I want all of us to realize that we are comparing the Crème de la crème of Slaaneshi mortal infantry armies, the Myrmidesh Painbringers with Grave Guards, who are per lore, raised from death into undeath in masses and are not the lore fitting equivalent of a Myrmidesh Painbringer. 

The fact that we are comparing them stat for stat, speak of how weak Hedonites truly are.

I could speak more, of what even famous reviewers have said, the sheer absence of new lore and story progression for Hedonites. Lumineth got full novels dedicated to them, Soulblight are getting a novel dedicated to them.

I hope to God that the Twins are not in BR: Kragnos only for Kragnos or Kroak to defeat them.

@azdimy Great post!

Now, I'm not sure if there's been any major lore changes for Grave Guard since WHFB, but aren't they supposed to be the Crème de la crème of skeletons? Ancient heroes raised into undeath as Wights with (most of) their martial skills intact?
