We do know from this ARTICLE on Warhammer Community that the Sector Mechanicus kits will go on preorder this weekend.

Personally, ithink the release othe battletomenis GW trying a new tactic out.

Release the rules so players have a chance to readthem over and decide what items they want to buy. Or perhaps its a tactic meant to draw out the release?

That would require GW to assume that people will get the rules in time, before, the pre-order of the minis.

Or, at least the leaks of the rules from people that get the tome day 1.

From Lady Atia on the War of Sigmar blog:

Soon the fleets will muster - 10 days to go =)

Lady Atia who is busy building a certain frigatte ...

So it looks like preorders on the 15th.

Payday (well, day after payday). Worked out well.

Slaughterbrutes and Mutaliths have had a Warscroll update.

They now have the Khorne & Tzeentch keywords respectively!

Was gonna say, seems damn peculiar that they didn't have their respective keywords.

I think this looks pretty cool, but I am amused at how orderly it all looks for a symbolic representation of the powers of Chaos. It's like a clock.

I'm easily amused I guess. Great design though.

Sweet! Good move by GW to fix that.

What is the bottom symbol? It's not Slaanesh or The Horned Rat.

They didn't have them because neither monster was aligned with a specific god until now. Both could bear all 4 Marks in Fantasy.

Most common guess is Malerion.

I believe it's something that they've been using for Slaanesh's followers/"court".

It's been shown a few times, but in association with Slaanesh.

Once again:
NOTHING at all is pointing towards Malerion and the Shadowkin being Chaos related.
Fyreslayers has actually painted it the opposite, with the Shadowkin and Fyreslayers within the Realm of Shadow working in tandem to go against the Slaanesh followers looking for their Dark Prince.

It is the Symbol of the Great Horned Rat

It's pretty obviously styled after Malekith's hat, but I always took that to mean it was symbolising who had captured Slaanesh. It's a symbol that Slaanesh isn't currently present, and here's why.

They never had any marks in Fantasy. In AoS fluff they've been presented as more associated with the obvious, like the Tzeentch Mutalith from the first campaign book.

That looks nothing like his symbol or the symbol in the image they display his symbol in the first campaign book it's the skaven symbol with a rat on it. That image is just used to separate sections in the ends time thanqoul book nothing more it looks closer to morathi crown and in the first AOS book they noted she was in ulgu before Malerion and Malerion found no one in the realm save her he also noted she was flesh and blood still and that she was changed.

Another note is that she was found in he middle of shadow daemons having a drunk party/orgy considering she was taken by slaanesh in end times and she is still mortal at the start of AOS and not a god like her son she is going to take slaanesh throne I bet.

Also shadowkin are going to be against slaanesh as Kan said a fyreslayer lodge has good relations with the shadowkin and tattooed their hands feet and eyes with black flames.

That is not the symbol of The Horned Rat.

That strikes me more as the sigil of clan skryre.

That would be ikit klaws clan symbol of skryre I believe.

Skaven as a whole is generally represented as either a shadowed horned rat head or an upside down triangle with overlapping lines.

The symbol above is represented on ikit himself. (Sorry, the "arch warlock")

It's the same symbol; triangle is a stylized symbol of the horned rat's head. The crossed ends represent horns of fangs depending on the corner.

I wonder if their points costs are different than listed in the GHB.

It'll be interesting to see if Nurgle and Slaanesh get their own Monster of Chaos when their armies get updated. I could see a Jabberslythe of Nurgle or a Chimera of Slaanesh being thematic.

I'm really happy I can add a Slaughterbrute to my army. I just need to find a way to get some Khorne symbols on it.

I'm already trying to figure out what the best oval base size will be for it (not a fan of square/rectangle bases).

I'm not quite sure how big the Slaughterbrute is, but I'll assume that what we want is the 170x105mm base. This one here.

Actually just found a chart of all bases used for fantasy (I need to bookmark that when I get home), and it looks like the Slaughterbrute used the same size base as the Chaos Chariot, so it should fit on the same size base that that one uses now (120mmx92mm). The 170mmx105mm would be the same one used by Imperial Knights and the Tau Stormsurge. Though come to think of it, I could probably use one of those and have room left over for something else. Maybe a dead Stormcast or something. Hmmm.

Giants are getting a warscroll update too. Details not confirmed yet but may add ironjawz keyword.

Nice! I need to create a Ironjawz giant then!

Yeah, sounds good!

Very good! Although this limits it's use for other Destruction armies though right?
