If you aren't wearing assless chaps while playing Slaanesh, you're doing it wrong.

Anywho . . .

I'd love to see some Nurglekin. The Nurgle Rotbringers line for AoS is so unique and cool! I'd love to see a 40k version of the Glotkin.

Na Tzeeentch got way more love just look at the Silver tower

Which is why I suspect Tzeentch would be next. They could repack those Silver Tower figures and give them 40K stats, creating new 40k units without investing in new models.

Maybe a mechanic involving those little familiars where you have to arrange them into pointed symbols, to get bonuses to psychic powers.
(Avoiding pentagrams, naturally).

I would love Slaanesh Daemonkin with new plastic Noise Marines being released. Bring back the ridiculous guitars and whatnot too.

I want a tzeentch book. I also want that book to include Ahriman and the thousand sons.

Indeed. I'm fine with the current Ahriman model - it's very nice - but wouldn't say no to a new plastic one. You could do a nice 'double-kit' if you wanted by creating a 'chariot' for him in the form of a part warpflame-part brass astrolabe contraption - something like the Numinous Occulam? * - that would be an option for tzeench sorcerors.

I'd love to see a 'Brotherhood Of Dust' thousand sons codex. It shouldn't be a 'Tzeench Daemonkin', though - Ahriman and co are anything but friends with Tzeench, and Possessed are a no-no. Bound daemons are fine - but that means mostly the 'weaker' daemons and probably no daemon princes.

Making a Tzeench 'mortal sorcerors' list work would be interesting in and of itself. You have a readymade reckoner for 'gifts/blessings' abilities in the counter of warp charge expended. It's a trick of making psykers useful and interesting without having either a confused mess of random-random-random rolls or invisibility deathstars out the wazoo.




* Whatever you might thing of Age of Sigmar as a game, the terrain's damn pretty.

Plague Marines, Noise Marine, and Rubric Marines all desperately need new models, but I'm partial to Tzeentch Daemonkin or Slaanesh. I'd love a new Greater Daemon and Cult troops for them.

Just imagine, something like every enemy unit that is killed the Nurgle player must pass a roll/Test of some kind ( leadership of the slayed unit? ) and if failed, the unit is returned to life as Plague Zombies (same as Typhus grants) with the same number of models in the units starting size

I think the tithe point system could work for them all, but I'd like to see different means of gaining them. It makes sense for Khorne to get them by spilling blood. Not as much for Tzeentch, for example. Maybe they'd get them by successfully casting powers. No idea what the other two could get though.

A different means of gaining them would be interesting for sure, I just find it hard to figure out what ( As you say ) the other Gods may do to gain the points. The idea of successful casting for Tzeentch could be awesome, and I suspect we'd see the competitive players spamming Horror squads to hammer this.

At first I thought maybe Slaanesh could be similar to the "Combat Drugs" of the Dark Eldar, in that they roll before the game and recieve a reward.

Orrrr maybe each unit they kill gives them a roll on a Excess chart, meaning you could have some seriously deadly units represented by having "Given in completely" to the frenzy around them.

New cult units would be awesome.... Perhaps some cultist like unit that specializes in running into the enemy and exploding, causing disease and virus' to spread ( Like in many of the Black Library books involving Nurgle, how they say it always starts with infected citizens bombing or running into mass centres and spreading the filthy love ) .

Greater Daemon for sure especially for LoC , KoS and GUO.

I'd like Tzeentch daemonkin personally, I can count on one hand the number of power armoured Tzeentch armies I've seen over the years.

Honestly I think Berzerkers probably need it more than Rubrics or Noise Marines, they'r pretty much the seminal 40k CC unit and they look so clunky.

Berzerkers have a sprue. Rubrics and Noise marines have some terrible, ghastly, Finecast upgrade kits with the wrong amount of equipment in the case of the Rubrics. The Rubric upgrade kit is an utter travesty.

And that sprue is hideous. At least Rubrics and Noise Marines get to hide behind some of the superior CSM parts.

On the downside it contributes to a person going insane when you have a part finecast kit.

Ill agree I never liked the idea of coke snorting Techno music blasting dignitaries ( though that does describe our entire generation of youth ) . When i think of Slaanesh I picture more like Hellraiser ,if you've seen the movie(s) , where it's all about experience. Pleasure and Pain, Heaven and Hell pushed to a limit where the difference between the two is almost entirely gone. Creepy awesome.

What would you like to see the new book represent Slaanesh like ?

A Hellraiser-like portrayal would be awesome and awesomely grotesque! Personally, I'm found of Ben Counter's portrayal of Slaaneshi followers in his novella Daemonworld. You have those utterly focused on honing in and perfecting a singular thing about themselves such as the queen with her enhanced senses that let her feel and hear her city from within her palace much akin to a spider waiting in the middle of its web - albeit at the price of her physical form becoming fragile. Then there are those that seek greater and more sensations, never sated with what they have, lusting for more and more, all the while becoming increasingly at risk of losing themselves completely to madness (these [mad] ones usually seem to think that in death they'll find the ultimate "high"). And finally there are those lost in a single, basic act that brings them pleasure - here be the sex, drugs, and rock n' roll - whom which those in the other two categories scorn as not true worshippers of Slaanesh as there isn't really a pursuit for something truly greater among these followers. I believe there is an excerpt in Daemonworld where the queen feels all the naked flesh pressing against other naked flesh in her city and she sort of sneers at these basic creatures while noting at one point, she was one of them but soon left such simple desires knowing that Slaanesh has so much more to offer and that she has so much more to offer Slaanesh.

Honestly, I wish that people would stop wishing for other Daemonkin books since;
1. Daemonkin are purely Khorne-only!!

Seriously, has no one actually bothered to read the background? Khornekin are fanatically zealous mortal deathcults who base their organisation on the hallowed Scriptures of Slaughter and eventually end up mimicking the Daemonic Legions they seek to summon.
Each Daemonkin band binds itself to a specific Bloodthirster and in turn, the Legion that 'thirster presides over.

They worship entirely through bloodshed & slaughter, and seek death as the ultimate form of devotion. The more death they cause, the more daemons they summon.
Eventually, the mortal warband inevitably destroys itself in bloody combat, their own deaths as well as the carnage they cause summoning an entire Daemonic Legion into realspace.

That's also entirely why Kharn isn't included, as he's not a half-insane, suicidal maniac! (Skarbrand likewise makes little sense, since he's an outcast)


2. It would royally suck to have Chaos broken down into 4 separate books for the God-specific units... I don't want to have to turn what should be at most 4 books for the Chaos faction, into 2-3 'main' books, plus 4 additional God-specific add-ons, and god knows how many other side supplements!

CSM's, 'Slaves to Darkness' (CSM supplement for cult legions ala AoD for Loyalists), Chaos Daemons, Lost and the Damned (traitor guard, mutants, zombies, monsters, etc...), would easily give us everything we need. (and of course, the current Khornekin, since it's not going away now that it exists)

This really seems to capture why I dislike the currentl Slaanesh model line. Too much focus on the sexual aspect when there is so much more She Who Thirsts could be about. Ask any good Catholic, sex, drugs, and rock and roll are just three the myriad fun and exciting ways one may sin!

I was about to post something very similar.

As cool as it would be to have other DaemonKin, I really do think GW only did KDK because:
A) They have some weird fetish for Khorne Deamons. Anyone else notice like every Deamon release in the past year has been Khorney?
B) Khorne-only armies were lacking the ability to buff themselves via psychic powers, etc like the other 3 Mono-god lists. The Blood-Tithe was GW's answer to that.
C) Gw was probably just testing the water with KDK. I don't think it did as well as they had hoped, so they scrapped the coming TzDK for an AoS game: Silver Tower*

*seriously, we got all these TzDK rumors for months, then NVM, GW wants to promote AoS, so here's a mini game using an all Tz theme. They probably just repurposed all the designers work

Honestly, though, it's probably better this way. With how fickle GW releases can be, if they had tried other DeamonKin books, they might have only done 1-2 more before stopping and judging by what they did in Fantasy, Slaanesh probably would have been the god to NOT get a DaemonKin book. Tz and Nurgle sell a lot better than Slaanesh.

Oh who gives a flying hoot! So make it Nurgle Daemon Kids instead, and just make up a story about how they are out there to spread the disease by dancing with human girls. That's how this all works. It's all made up on the spot, and making some more stuff up isn't a big deal.

Man, the day you don't find something to be offended by and yell bloody murder about, Experiment, will be a cold day in the Warp.
