Chaos Knights now buy enscrolled weapons as an upgrade

Why do people have so much trouble with the word, "ensorcelled"? It means enchanted, bewitched, as in they are magical weapons. You know, it's related to the word, "sorcery". Spelling can be easy when you know the meaning of words.

Same reason people say Turrent, Halbred, etc. People just misread things, and it sticks. Even words in common(ish) useage.

whats with that tentacle rape monster thing?
at least I can make my Akira-inspired chaos army now...gonna need an epic crap ton of green stuff

It's a common phenomenon since Rouge Trader days

Could be that, instead of skulls, everything will be covered in scrolls/purity seals from now on.

While playing Space Marine on Xbox I actually saw someone with the gamer tag, "Rouge Trader". I had a good laugh over that one. Maybe that gamer is a cosmetics salesman.

I mostly like the new Warriors of Chaos stuff so far even from the somewhat blurry photos. Tomorrow night we'll get a good look at them when they go up for Advance Order. WoC is my oldest GW collection so I'm sure I'll get something from the new kits to add to it.

New pics are up at Warseer:

The mutated knights look a bit silly imo.

The slaughterbrute looks a lot better from that angle. Still not too keen on the Forsaken though there's some nice individual bitz there.

Those mutants look dumb as hell.

Don't like the mutants themselves, but I'm tempted to pick them up for the bits..

Typical GW design studio thought process...

"Hmm you know what would better than a long sinuous forked tongue? THREE long sinuous forked tongues!"

And the Forsaken certainly do not fit the "We make the best miniatures in the world" tagline that GW are so fond of repeating these days.

Yeah, the Slaughterbrute looks MUCH better. I thought it looked pretty bad from the first pics, but now it actually looks pretty damn good.

What on EARTH are they thinking with those Forsaken? They look awful.

One would have thought they'd have given that look the final pass after the Medusa V campaign Possessed CSM's that nobody liked and never bought.

I don't understand why they resurrected it here.

Nipple arms, nipple arms, nipple arms! Seriously what where they thinking.

Those forsaken are truly terrible. I am so glad that the warrior models don't seem to be being redone as a non-mutated kit in the same style as the forsaken would be such a step backwards in model quality.

And that slaughterbeast is awful. 3 tongues? And what is up with it's malformed "hand/paw/wtf"?

The forsaken have a few good bits, but as a hole they do look pretty terrible.

Slaughterbeast looks really nice from that angle, though...

For the Forsaken the problem'll be the paint-job. Get a good painter to take a crack at them so they're not just "Black Armour/Pale Mutations" and you'll get a good result.

The Slaughter Brute comes with an alternative, no-tongue head:


Here a larger pic of the army book cover (i count 27 skulls ), also by Foro Freak Factory:

That cover looks quite good. Them blazing axes!

It would be beyond my abilities to make those look good

The ruinious powers have blinged him up proper for sure.

Anyone got a light?

When I start my Khorne Daemons I will need that alterntive Slaughterbrute head...

I actually dig the Forsaken, like someone else said, give them a different paint scheme and they will look better. Pale skin and black armor is a Dark Eldar thing, it doesn't work for these dudes. At the very least, I'm stoked for what gribbly bits will be on the sprue.

I'm a fan of this release, but will only purchase the Army Book and magic cards and go from there, depending on what will compliment my Beastmen.

I said a good painter. x2

Pale skin and black leather is today, what GW's red phase was in the 90s:
Chaos Warriors, Hobbit Goblins and Trolls, Dark Eldar, Minotaurs, Skaven, Ogres, Vampires ...
Looks terrible every time but is ... iconic I guess

Don’t forget Hive Fleet Albino, Kroot. They’re part of this as well.

Nice cover art! I'm always worried we'll get another VC or TK style cover.

The Slaughterbrute could be used as a Giant Chaos Spawn/Spined Beast for 40k?

Also the forsaken are good conversion fodder for Lost & the Damned muties! (cultists?) Looks like they had too many rolls on the Realm of Chaos gift table, hehe.

Thing about the Slaughterbrute is that its giant lobster/genestealer claws evoke Slaanesh more than Khorne?
