Wouldn't icy climes make sense for a Yhetee?
Hopefully they get their update soon, together with Sabretusks.
Both the new warbands are a pass from me. The Idoneth minis look good, just never been a fan of their aesthetic.
The Slaanesh warband just doesn't do it for me. Seems odd to make a relatively slow and durable Slaanesh warband. Almost seems like they started as a Nurgle warband, and they changed gears due to Skabbit's Plaguepack.

I think they just want to expand on Slaanesh's themes more. Most people think of lithe dancers and sex and hardcore drugs. But overindulgence and gluttony are just as slaaneshy. Glutos leans into that, for example.
Now that the AoS demon armies aren't one part of four and are their own thing it makes sense that they can branch out. See Slaanesh getting mortal followers with bows whilst before all the ranged power in a demon army came from either Tzzentch or Khorne.

Models first rules after though.
So that doesn’t really track.
They will have built some rules around the models they were given. And it seems a good way to expand Slaanesh lore wise, and to make them differ gameplay wise.
I have to say I'm really enjoying some of the creativity with this set. Slaanesh has felt very "dry" in design variety for the regular models for a while. Some fantastic new leaders and human worshippers, but the demonic unit side was fairly much left alone save for the awesome new fiends.
So seeing these makes me hope that we might see some of those designs used as the foundation for some new demonic model infantry in the future. It certainly shows that GW is thinking outside of the established box and dipping a bit more into the lore.
It's also neat to see excess being displayed as other aspects other than lust/pleasure.
Out of curiosity, did the Sons of Velmorn ever get released separately? I dunno why I thought they were one of the current starter set teams, but a quick google search shows they came out over a year ago. Would love to pick them up for the wight king alone

Not yet. Will probably come as a rivals set now this new one has come out.
Does anyone know if the new starter set with the condemnors has new cards or reprints of the old ones? I know the sepulchral guard are different now but thought it's worth finding out.

So been and gone then? Well I'll be buggered. That one past me like a ship in the night. Shame as I really wanted them.
I know right? I remember the chaos dudes got released (not separately, just in general), since I almost picked up the masked spearman to use as a feral world Inquisitor kill-team dude, but forgot about the cool skeletons
