And as always, i gotta wait for the "blog" thing where they actually post all the actual reveals i'm interesting in, without like an hour of cringe-y GW employees trying to instill the barest inch of excitement within people through way way too much talking, without caring what they're talking about half the time because they're all only interested in their own pay.

Overread wrote: Beasts of Chaos shifting to Destruction might be fine for pure beasts players, but I know a lot of Slaanesh and other mono-god armies often use Beasts of Chaos models in their forces.
That said perhaps GW is considering making the next Beasts of Chaos army split between Chaos and Destruction. Introducing two basic sub-faction groups within the battletome - one pure wild destruction and the other tainted by chaos. Limiting some of the unit options with each so that they are distinct and yet related.
Or even do what they've done with other forces that share a lot of cross over units and just have the models cross over nad have two distinct battletomes and armies - again with their own unique flavour units as well.
Sure, something like that would make sense. There are order and chaos humans* so there could be destruction and chaos beastmen.
* Weirdly, there are no destruction humans. They could and should be a thing. 'Barbarians' are a popular fantasy trope, but in Warhammer that's tied to chaos, and that is turn off to many people.
Wonder if beasts of chaos won't eventually go in Destruction as well in the future...because when you read their background in AoS, they don't really side with the Chaos gods and just want to destroy all civilisation until nothing remains. That some of them are devoted to a single Chaos god and that those are already in the said Chaos god's battletome (slaangors, tzaangors) is maybe another sign of change, when they'll really redesign the Beasts of Chaos faction in the future.
My first army was 6th edition pure BoC and that sounds awful. A huge part of the appeal for me was that they were the true sons of chaos. A gift from the Gods. It makes sense that they worship Chaos.They aren't natural, and their birth usually meant a horrific death for the mother. They were (rightly) hated and outcast from society.
I don't know enough about earlier editions, maybe they weren't such tragic and interesting creatures before. Everything gets re-written over time I guess.
It would be sad to see them become nothing more than angry Taurens. Kragnos does give off the vibes of a Destruction Beastman though. Now that I think about it... Doesn't Warcraft also have a faction of thunder stomping Centaurs? ... yawn.
