    Neave Blacktalon is getting her own novel in September.

    Quote

    In the perilous jungles just north of the great city of Hammerhal Aqsha, Chaos reigns. There, a powerful Tzeentchian wizard grows in disciples and in might as his maledictions leach all that is good from the land. It is Neave Blacktalon, first of Sigmar’s Knights-Zephyros, who must vanquish this foe. Yet the huntress soon realizes that even the glow of the Twin-Tailed City cannot protect her from the darkness. Blighted by terrible visions, she fears that her very spirit has been tainted. Blacktalon must choose whether to abandon her duty in the quest for a cure, or face the fearsome judgement of the Sacrosanct chamber.

    Manfred I think he actually died right after he killed Balthazar Gelt

    I think Tyrion killed him or at least stabbed him. The whole thing is weird on who is back.

    Well to be completely fair there are not really that many named characters in Age of Sigmar right now.

    To be fair, most of the named characters are just people from the World-That-Was at this point.

    I agree.  Even before the End Times series Thanquol was one of my favorite Warhammer characters.  There are some characters that I feel were just so fun, unique, and interesting to Warhammer that it is a shame to lose them.  Nagash was one and I was sad to see how long he took a nap over the various editions, but it was heartening that he was still around in the background and could possibly make a return.  Then he did during the End Times and it was pretty epic.

    For me, Skarsnik & Gobbla live in the same space as Thanquol even though they are more minor characters.  Skarsnik was just exemplified the main goblin traits more than any other character and I simply love goblins.  Grom was great - but he was a weird anomaly rather than being representative of his race.

    I think it is also easier to bring over some of these characters who may have been influential in small areas of the Old World but on the whole were very minor players.  Skarsnik had a big part to play in connection to the Karak Eight Peaks and the story of the Dwarfs, but to be fair that stronghold was lost long before Skarsnik's story began.

    Other characters that could be neat to bring back into the world are characters like Azhag the Slaughterer, Deathmaster Snikch, Grom the Paunch, Joseph Bugman, Heinrich Kemmler & Krell, etc.  Those characters were always relatively minor, but they had a lot of flavor and they would all still fit fairly well into the Mortal Realms.

    Have any of the characters that were dead in the World-That-Was seen in the Mortal Realms? It feels like only a select few were back because of Chaos or were alive right before it was destroyed.

    You're right about the puns and double-entendres just being an all-round awful bit of gamer culture when it comes to Slaanesh buuuutt I feel there is room for GW to make something more interesting and less crappy joke-fodder from this absence. Possibly you've seen this but Kieron Gillen wrote a pretty great, if rambling, piece about 'the problem of Slaanesh', including roundups from folks taking explicitly ******-centric POVs: http://hipsterhammer.tumblr.com/post/156891771531/on-slaanesh

     

    Not saying I have 100% faith that GW will do it well but there's conceptual room for them to do so.

    That will not stop people from making jokes or having a perception of the Chaos god.

    From the AOS facebook post of the Nighthuant video: "The Mortarch of Grief has been summoned – and with her, the horrifying legions of the Nighthaunt..." 

    New Mortarch incoming :D

    Someone said that they spotted something in the Nightguant video that was in the dark, but you can see the outline of it. That might be the Mortarch of Grief.
