Slaughterpriest?

Yup, literally all I can give you is the name and that the "Geysers of Boiling Blood" special rule for Time of War and the Brimstone Peninsula allows for a player with one or more PRIESTS of KHORNE to choose to add or subtract 1 from your dice roll to determine which geyser erupts.

My source tells me he's armed with an Exalted Bloodaxeflailaxe in each hand! These are giant bloodaxes with bloodaxeflails attached to their bloodhafts (bloodaxeflails are bloodaxes on the ends of rageflails). This way at the same time he's bloodaxing you with the bloodaxe parts of the Exalted Bloodaxeflailaxes the bloodaxeflails are rageflailing around to bloodaxeflail you simultaneously!

Wow how awful sounding.


Pass.

Safe to say he was joking. though if you believe that well.....

This "slaughterpriest" I am going to guess is some form of khorne sorcerer yes i know khorne hates magic but he doesnt have to be magic. He could be some form of magic void. Funnily enough before this guy was rumoured I converted two sorcerers for my khorne stuff out the box renamed blood priests.

It was obviously a joke but it doesn't exactly sound implausible based on some of GWs Khorne releases and naming conventions. It probably isn't going to end up being too far wrong.

My thoughts that it's probably going to be similar, less is sometimes more you know.

Priests are effectively different enough to Sorcerers/Wizards now that it works okay to show them on the field.

If I had to hazard a guess though, it will be something akin to the Shrinemaster for a Warshrine.

I think they crossed that line when they made Murderfang the Curseborn mudering people with his Murderclaws while under his Murderlust on the planet of Omnicide.

Or maybe wait till the game comes out. It's not out yet is it not? Still in development? Maybe when it's released that will be the time when GW releases the fluff for the old minis that are in the game.

Where is the CSM? The Chaos SigMarines. Is there not a story where half the brotherhood split into evil entities and brother fights brother?

Is there the 20 sons, or should I say 18 sons and 2 that can't be named who head the Storm Calling? Or this hasn't happened yet but will happen soon?

What ever the current addition ork is..3rd?

Tbf I do have black orcs which are a bit bigger. Still if the new models look good and fit on sqaure bases I will get them same with the rest of the ranges so long as they look like the old range in features (ie goblins have long pointy nose, needle teeth and big ears)

The note is really that GW has inflated orks at least twice, and 1st gen orks now look like gobbo size.

No, no, we're not at that part of the story yet. We're still at the part where the god-ruler of mankind sends out his newly-minted supersoldiers on a great crusade to reconquer the myriad lands of the universe for humanity once more.

Soon to be covered by a novel series from BL!

News? Rumors? Anyone?

Nah dude, just the same tired 40K jokes that have been posted in every Age of Sigmar thread since the first pics and details came out. I imagine the folks that keep posting them to be the same folks that we can thank for Adam Sandlers career longevity.

Big crossbow is big.

Poe's law is definitely a thing.

I think that big crossbow guy is hilarious. That thing must be bigger than a 40k missile launcher, LOL.

I dig the black armor.

Chaos can't withstand the withering firepower of the T-shirt cannon.

At least we know where the bottom half of the new SoB minis went.

Now that crossbow thingy is just stupid looking.

Look! It's a heavy crossbolter!

SSSHHHH!!!

Remember, we're not supposed to call them mareenz?

In all seriousness, that thing looks dumb. I'd honestly rather just use up the 100 or so boltguns I have sitting in a bitz box.

Tag them up in sixes, to make Hurricane Crossbolters!

Though the pictured thunderbolt thing makes me think, "Missile Boltlauncher" more than anything else =D

Kinda looks like one of them noise weapons EC use.

I dont get it - what is that quad-bow supposed to fire? I'm guessing it doesnt rapid-fire bolts, as the calibre is huge. Does that mean it fires one huge bolt - like a ballista bolt? So where is the bolt? Did the dude just fire it, and that is why the bolt isnt shown?

How big would the bolt have to be to fill a barrel that large? Is it an exploding rocket-bolt or what?

I'd assume it fires a single lightning bolt, similar to how the bow version fires an arrow that explodes into mini lightning bolts.

I don't think we will get female Sigmarines...you know, for reasons...

I'm sure there's a good, fluffy reason why the process of reforging souls into Stormcast Eternals only works on the souls of male warriors and not females.

Maybe even female warriors look male after they have been reforged. In fact no matter who you were, what race or gender, reforming makes you a male human warrior in apperence.

Maybe because Sigmar makes them in his own image or some such.

GW has never made functional weaponry aside from basic small arms and melee weapons. GW has rarely been good at functional anything.

Female soldiers that look like a man / trap? Let's call them...Sisters of...ehm...War!

I look at that crossbow thing and I imagine this is the kind of thing that went on in the studio.

"I think Cable should be holding a BIG gun on this cover."

Well yeah he usually is.

"Pffffft, no, I mean a REALLY big gun."

wait how big

"Well something like this"

/draws an artistic representation of excess

Liefeld you genius, you’ve done it again.

If that's not a warning signal I dunno what is.

The white dwarf pic from before says the heavy crossbow fires magical orbs that trail fire to look like the twin-tailed comet.
