NurglesFirstChosen

@Ghurk Glott resilient factions such as nurgle, or LON.

I apologise I’ve obviously got the wrong end of the stick about the thread - my post was specifically talking about new models. I agree that the high aelf faction(s) need to be sorted out from a rules perspective.

Hey just an idea but how about we go back to rumours, oh and while we’re at it let’s go back to talking bout AOS... haha this is not a 40k forum dudes 😴😴😴😴😴

The way I see it, it’s about money and ownership. What would Gw prefer to invest money (and time) in, a faction they’d inevitably have to pay image rights for or ones they create from scratch which they don’t. I believe gw will focus on factions in which they can truly call their own. I feel anyone who really feels high aelves etc weren’t taken from someone else’s creative work, are seeing what they want to see. I don’t mean any offence in that, but in my opinion it’s just wishful thinking. Who knows maybe some high aelves will be incorporated into teclis/Tyrion’s faction, similar to witch aelves and dok. At the end of the day though I wouldn’t expect any new miniatures of that type of aelf. I may be wrong but I would expect what I’ve described, but there’s nothing wrong in hoping for what you want 🙂

I appreciate what you’re saying, details and lore are very different. I still feel that much of the visualisation of high aelves is very similar to the descriptions in the Tolkien books. This is my opinion however and I understand that yours is obviously different.

Tbh I feel that unless gw can claim IP on a faction it’s not gonna be updated. Unfortunately this means that factions like high elves - that are basically pulled out of a Tolkien novel - won’t be. I know that means that lots of old world factions won’t be revisited which sucks for a lot of people. But look on the bright side, I’m damn sure that when tyrion n teclis aelves hit the scene they’re gonna more than make up for it.

Also Slannesh is currently imprisoned in the mortal realms.

Dorghar is a shapeshifting daemon steed. During the battle between in which Archaon tamed (ish) Dorghar it changed in many ways. So his original heal was that of a horse. Btw the champions were greater daemons.

Yeah I see what you mean. Not sure it’s got much to do with Slanneshs standing amoung the chaotic siblings, and more to do with the battle with the greater daemons. Although saying that, the very fact Slannesh chose not to send a representative against Archaon might point towards a difference in goals. Maybe the fact Slannesh didn’t send a rep, was because Slannesh loves arrogance of Archaon in seeking not just the end of the world, but the gods themselves. So you could say that the fact there is no Slannesh head on Dorghar, means that it’s actually Slannesh who provides Archaon the most backing 😂😂😂

@Kronos it’s probbaly safe to say that every member of the chaos pantheon is a reluctant member 😂😂

I have no idea if there was an agenda behind the lore of Dorghars current form. But lore wise, @sorokyl is correct - Dorghar the shape shifting horse took on the heads of the 3 greater daemons that Archaon defeated. The rune of Slannesh remains on Archaons shield, which does indicate Archaon still views Slannesh as viable. That being said however, the shield was crafted long before and was wielded by Morkar, which makes this entire paragraph pointless 😂😂😂

I think the Slannesh daemons will be making their final defences against the daemons of khorne (who will no doubt be taking advantage of the absence of slannesh). While backed by their god, the daemons of khorne will be dominating against the daemons of slannesh while in the realm of chaos. Alternatively the daemons of khorne are using the daemons of slannesh as sport, and aren’t really aiming to finish them off. Maybe a mix of both. I guess that technically without the presence of slannesh, khorne could just end the daemons of slannesh. So perhaps although he desires an end of slannesh in the realm of chaos, as the god of violence, blood and skulls - he prefers to adopt a particular means of doing so - war. Either way, slannesh will escape the mortal realms soon.

@sorokyl as long as nurgle are without pestigors they won’t be complete for me

@Overread @Enoby The war between daemons of Slannesh and khorne takes place in the realm of chaos, and has nothing to do with Slanneshs prison as that is located in the mortal realms.
