December is death guard confirmed, the logical thing would be that the third coin corresponds to the third month.

then it may be nothing, or nothing new, or just a morathi-style book without miniatures.

like I said it does seem to point to a janauri Slaanesh release, but its not certain

Where was Death Guard coin confirmed for December?
(The book is then, so one would assume).

ok..

December is death guard ASSUMED, the logical thing would be that the third coin corresponds to the third month.

then it may be nothing, or nothing new, or just a morathi-style book without miniatures.

In the photo with the coins you can see that the right one is a 40k one and that the faction name ends in guard, the only faction currently called guard in 40k is death guard(imperial guard has been renamed to astra militarum)

Har Kuron is its new name, now. Praise Morathi-Khaine !

So with Daughters of Khaine and CoS Dark Elves reunited...aren't they basically the old WHFB Dark Elves again? All that's basically missing now is momma's boy himself - could Har Kuron serve as a stepping stone for a fully re-imagined Dark Elf faction under Malerion's and Morathi's joint command (similar to how the pointy cowboys are re-imagined High Elves)?

I doubt it, most of the lore so far suggested Morathi is very much done with the "boys".

I see GW had a cunning scheme when they released CoS; make the Anvilguard abilities truly awful so no one would play them, that way there is no one to be offended when it gets replaced!

I doubt it. Malekith only barely got along with his mother back in the day. There was a sort of twisted love/hate relationship going on between the two in which both knew that he required her support to stay at the top of Druuchi society, but both knew that he also hated and resented her constant manipulations of him. And family ties mixed into it as well. Unless it's shown that he still needs her for some reason, I doubt he feels any particular loyalty to her. He might show up to help her out if she was in actual danger of being completely destroyed (she is his mother, after all), but even that's not certain. And without that, I can't see him lifting a finger to help her.

Oh I’m 100% with you that they are the first three. Not in question imo.
Though by the logic, the third coin would be back right, thus they’d be in January.
Assuming left to right for the second row (generally how it would be done).

When is the Death Guard book though, it is meant to be this year isn’t it. So it would make sense.

Though It would be annoying if hedonites were central in a second book as well in January.

You mean codex? Warhammer community when they showed road map for this year codex releases. Blood angels and death guard for december and if schedule is same as before available right away first up in december.

Death Guard in December was confirmed some time ago. It would make the Slaanesh coin for January.

The idea of Slaanuary is very appealing.

Exalted, and will correct my obvious lack of the correct terminology going forward.

When you look at the general Pantheon of Gods AoS has, these two stand out. They aren't really "good" gods compared to the others and they've a long history of basically not getting along, on even fundamental levels, with the others. The don't get on with the High Elf brothers, they don't get on with Sigmar, they don't get on with Alarielle. So basically they are a thorn stuck out on their own.

Whilst they might not love or like each other, they are bound by blood and by circumstance. If one falls the other is at greater risk; if one rises the other can catch on the coat tails and advance their own game. They will fight over what they have, but have greater to gain standing with each other against threats from the outside.

There's a Malign Portents short story which shows them having a cordial conversation and even revelations that Malarion seems to be aware of Morathi's twist of the souls from Slaanesh - though he seems unconcerned about it if I recall right. Likely because he rules most of the Shadow Realm and she's in a tiny corner.
