If they bulk out Slaves of Darkness we may see Chosen in that vein. If they continue with the theme of allowing them to pick their marks and such. This way they can have Slaves of Darkness being a "Humanish" primary force that Chaos factions can take that would represent those sorts of worshippers.

Chosen do lack a plastic kit currently, and it would be easy to include parts for god-specific command groups on a generic sprue.

Disciples of Tzeentch

Everything keyword Tzeentch covered.

LoC on the cover (artwork; not model).

Release window is several weeks.

Path to Glory for Tzeentch included.

Command traits - three types shown - Arcanites, Daemons, Mortals.

Same for artefacts.

There are spells. Lore of Fate spells (for all Tzeentch). Lore of Change spells (specifically for daemons).

Shane; have you seen the LoC? Is it similar in size to the Bloodthirster? What's its pose like? Honestly, a larger plastic one that takes reference from the old metal one is okay by me. That is the most dynamic of the old GDs.

Not shown anything on that yet. It's art on the front cover. Will let you know if they show anything on the LoC.

They just showed two warscrolls for Tzaangor.

not at all, this much information deserves its own treath

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2016/12/22/faq-update-for-warhammer-age-of-sigmar/

Good news Warhammer Age of Sigmar gamers,

The FAQ for the game has just been updated.

The new answers cover a few common questions and rules conundrum. There are no major game changers, but a few things get sorted out.

Some of the key points covered include deployment of Sylvaneth Wyldwoods, releasing Moonclan Fanatics, and clarification on a few rules from the General’s Handbook.

I like Ago of Sigmar so this is not to slag on them. I just keep finding it funny that the FAQ is larger than the actual rules.

this answer makes the ring useless when you don't have a reserve for summoning:

Q: Does the Ring of Immortality require reinforcement points to
return the slain bearer to the table?
A: Yes.

To be fair, returning a VLoZD for free was pretty crazy. The point of reinforcement pools was to keep the game from going full 40k and being 2000 points vs 2700. Though certain armies can still game it a bit (cough cough Sylvaneth woods).

For all who missed and wanna see the full stream from yesterday:

It doesn't seem like the FAQs have been updated on the web store yet. Pity since I'm work blocked from the community site.

They re-re-updated The Rules FAQ for the uber confusing Damage question.

The rules FAQ 1.1 just got updated to 1.1.1 of sorts, the blurb about resolving damage has been updated. I think they are still working out a few kinks

Hmm. I see the dates are now showing December 2016 on the web store, but the linked PDFs are still the version 1.0 FAQs. Guess they are still working on it.

Click on the 'Download All' link at the top of the section. It has the updated FAQs.

What's wrong with the volume? I even have headphones one and I can barely hear it. Listen to anything else, and I almost blew out my ears.

I didn't find the ring that bad even when my opponent used it with a vampire on terrorgheist (pretty bad since it has a death explosion) because the model only returned with d3 wounds left. With that restriction it wasn't out of line as artifacts go, but with paying full cost it's stupidly useless.

Indeed. If the model came back at full wounds, it'd be one thing. I think I'll let my death opponent use the ring without using reinforcement points.

This art suggests that we are getting new Duardin soon. With this and the rumour mill pic it looks like it will be a Slyvaneth style mixture of old and new minis.

Indeed, also someone(I think Cataphract) noticed a Tzeentch picture leak that looked like a Duardin armed with a sword. (Though the red hair might have been a beardy wizard, only got to see the top half)

The Dispossessed Ironbreakers are a main arm of the Azyrheim Stonebreaker Battalion that focus on destroying chaos fortifications.

Are we looking at a defense of an Order city, or it's destruction by Order forces having claimed it's too far corrupted?

It looked like a bright wizard who typically do have the flaming red hair.

One of the teaser images was almost undoubtedly dwarven, and we know from the fluff that Tzeentch is focused on the realm of metal, where the duradin followers of Grugni supposedly are. All in all I'd say its a safe bet that duradin are coming soon.

Plus we had that rumour engine pic that was almost certainly Duardin.

Edit: just realised you said that...

Which one was certainly duadin? I would love to know, as a dwarf nut.

Referring to the first image released.

Indeed, itsjust a matter of -when- at this point. January has been claimed by Tzeentch so we are looking at a February release most likely. Full reveal in later January?

I must say, that is one of the better pieces of art produced thus far for Age of Sigmar. From a purely technical perspective, the dynamics of the scene are skillfully invoked through the forced perspective and the use of lines to focus on the center action.

And with the appearance of the gyrocopter in the back and the Duardin troops in the front, we're likely looking at a very thematic force showing up quite soon.

As much as I liked the archetypical Dwarf lore in Warhammer, I never liked the "kneeless" aesthetic (which I know some people really liked); though as we now know Games Workshop is able to make larger dwarf figures (the fyreslayers) the new Duardin should be pretty amazing.
