Hmmmmm. What if. When the imperials went through the web way they ended up at the scene of the next book, with some of their Force harboring slaanesh worshippers undercover that end up corrupting the avatar, explaining it's rather corrupted features?

mmm...

Bechareth is a former Incubus that was left behind during a skirmish with the forces of Craftworld Alaitoc. He surrendered and was allowed to undertake the Path of the Warrior and became a part of the Deadly Shadow Striking Scorpion temple. Bechareth is a symbolic name, meaning "Spirit on the Wind", a term for those that died without a spirit stone to guard them

Nothing points to it.
But I point to these details, and forgive if already pointed out...
On his left hip, and his knee pads, his belt piece are all faces like Harlequin's masques.
He also has a hell of alot of stones, many tied to him, like around his back things. They are tied all ovr him, ot like trophies but like he needs them.

I really think the Soulstones are prevalent on these models because of their connection with Ynnead.

So this is how they're going to get rid of Slaanesh...

Oh, you mean like how they "got rid" of Slaanesh in AoS by putting its icon on Archaon's shield? Or how it looks like the intro for the Elf factions is going to involve them trying to prevent Slaanesh's followers from finding it?

so when is the rumored release of these models? i'm hoping this is with the LOC and not after

I suppose, I'm not too fond of the posing for any of the three, but they are sculpted well. I wonder what the rules might be and if they're going to be as nice as the Imperial Triumvirate.

Lord of Change is probably preorders this coming Saturday(the 28th), releasing on the next Saturday (February 4th).
Gathering Storm II: Fracture of Biel'Tan and the Ynnead trio will be preorders on Feb. 4th, releasing on the 11th.

Red guy's tabard rune is like a combination of the Biel-Tan rune and the new Ynnead rune.

Yes I do. If someone you loved got abducted but you still had a picture of them would you say to me "Oh, you mean like how I "lost" that person by taking this picture with them and putting it on my dresser?" Come on...

Except this is more equivalent to "someone you love went to your neighbor's house and you know where they are, but rather than asking them when they are coming back you assume they're dead".

So where exactly is Slaanesh, then?

Being held by Malerion and Tyrion in either the Realm of Shadows or Realm of Light, unable to exercise its power?

We've basically had that since the first months of AoS. We further got bits and bobs about the Shadowkin(Malerion's folk in the Realm of Shadows) engaged in a war within the mists of the Realm of Shadow against the followers of Slaanesh trying to find their deity.

So what does Slaanesh's status in AoS have to do with The Gathering Storm?

A large portion of the warhammer community think GW is doing away with Slaanesh, because Slaanesh hasn't had any new models since 2012.

This is despite the fact that a slaanesh chaos lord was a prevalent antagonist, in either god beasts or battle for the all points (forgot which one) and there is allot of new Slaanesh artwork in age of sigmar showing them fighting stormcasts and lizardmen.

Now with this prophetised destroyer of slaanesh showing up in 40k that large portion of the community are doomsayering again.

I like the models, but have no need for eldar.

I am looking forward to the book, though. I enjoyed fall of Cadia, even with Trazyn the Pokémon Champion!

Except I don't think Ynnead is the sort of god that would keep Slaanesh "held" somewhere. I think that either 1 of 2 things are going to happen moving forward:

1. Ynnead is going to kill or cripple Slaanesh

2. The clock will be at 1-minute-to-midnight with Ynnead about to eat Slaanesh...

I must be getting old, people thinking just over a fortnight is a "depressingly long" time.

I remember waiting 8 weeks for things I ordered from catalogues back in the day, grumble grumble....

The new Disciples of Tzeentch battletome states "... although few know the full tale, it was Tzeentch’s plotting that led to Slaanesh’s absence."

As I said before. I think this is how you bring Slaneesh further into the story. With the other gods motivation for large scale battles is easy. Khorne loves fighting, nurgle wants to spread corruption and Tzeentch has his plans. Slaanesh requires humanity to exist to get her kicks. So why undertake any big campaigns?
By putting her existence under threat in 40k and seeking revenge on those who captured/ abandoned her in Aos, you have a much better reason for involving her.
There was a perfect opportunity to do away with her at the beginning of AOS, but instead you have seen Slaanesh featured in some form in almost every bottletome.
I fully expect a major cross system unveiling this year or next, as we have seen with Tzeentch in the last few months.

OR you should shut up and stop speculating trying to put forth your assumptions as fact. Especially when you know little of the story to begin with.

The hate comments on these minis are so pathetic. Beautiful minis!

So the rumors about the return of vect dead?

I honestly think there must be a plugin for Chrome and other browsers which actually changes the language used by people expressing that they're not keen on something, and often articulating why, into an incoherent rant.

It's the only plausible explantion how "I don't like it" can be construed as pathetic hate comments.

you can just use the word "fortnight" and its assumed you walked 20 miles in the snow to get to your bus stop for school

Now would be a great time for everyone to take a step back and remind themselves that they're talking about the fictional background for a game of toy soldiers.

Now to see if their rules are as broken as the rest of the Eldar.

i just read the threads for the release dates and new pics, i gota be honest these mega nerds fighting about the story is pretty funny. let them argue rofl

The red dude looks great, i wonder how big it is, with all the scale creep, i wonder if it is as big as a custodes. Ynead avatar looks to much like a Slaneesh Deamon prince to me. The female would make (like said before) a good cenobite
