With the release of the 10 index cards for Imperium and Chaos, the new keywords got me wondering if I could glean some data off the new webstore keywords. This is really just raw data with some thoughts I had to share with my battle buddy tomorrow and I figured I'd share it here too. It doesn't necessarily mean anything and as always we'll wait and see... but here it is.

I'm sure others have talked about this kind of thing, but in my lazy limited searching I couldn't find anything definitive. Some of the keyword stuff is weird, like obvious vehicles not being vehicles. some is really cool. If Szarekh isn't titanic on his sheet I will be a very happy camper.

Discuss at your leisure.

Some notable stuff missing. Reanimators, lord, overlord, plasmancer, Royal Warden, Plasmacyte, Cryptothralls, Scarabs, Night Scythe, all missing from keywords selection
Worth noting, the only model of the ones missing that can still be found on the website is the Night Scythe for obvious reasons. All of the other ones are missing. Not out of stock, gone.
