Honestly at this point I feel it's a given that he's involved with the fun stuff!

The prices don't bother me since the Fiends and Enrapturess are available from Wrath and Rapture for a steal, and GW's gonna price gouge its what they do. I'm not even surprised that we didn't get mortal followers for now. I am surprised that they didn't replace the foot Herald with plastic, and didn't give us a mounted Herald to keep up with Seekers. But I am shocked that they didn't try to push some custom Slaaneshi dice on us or a Limited edition Battletome.

YES!

Hmmm....looking at the new AOS rules I wishing that 40K Slaaneshi Daemons had the same setup. With their special rule being: Advance and Charge the same turn, and making the detachment locus "striking first in melee". That would be a much more useful and flexible setup.

Oof, prices ouch. Kinda excited for the actual book though. Hopefully you can give the key word to marauders.

I wonder what parts he did/helped with? It is a really nice battletome overall.

So apparently a) Wargames Factory produces certain plastics for Games Workshop in China, which is interesting, but also b) What are these?!

Dominion of Sigmar Sigmarite Dais
Dominion of Sigmar The Enduring Stormvault
Dominion of Sigmar Fallen Statues
Dominion of Sigmar Shattered Temple

new modular AoS terrain for Warcry first then AoS after, much like the new 40k Sector Imperialis releases for Kill Team first then 40k after?

Thanks for that. A good set of AoS scenery in the vein of Sector Imperialis has been one of my biggest wishes. Hope it's good.

And just the other day I thought Age of Sigmar is the kind of setting that needs more statues.

Did... did someone say more scenery? I don't have much scenery, so I could use some more.

Re: price. Ouch. I'm not sure that the Enrapturess/Fiends won't get price gouged from people splitting the box set now, either. Maybe I can still find a box when/if I decide to add more demons to my Word Bearers and/or do a small Slaanesh Skirmish force.

The KoS dropped behind a GUO and FW Thirster on the wish list, though.

I also just realised that we are the only chaos god without dice, even the horned rat has some.

Yeah, I noticed we didn't get dice yesterday; no limited Edition tome either.

40k datasheets are up as well.

We are getting a limited edition tome.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/04/21/coming-next-week-slaanesh-rises/

But no dice, LMAO. Hell skaven got dice, we are the only chaos god who hasn't received dice. I hope that there is a week 2 to this release or that the tome reveals there are mortals coming.

Syll gets a potential 32 attacks!

Edit: Whoops, nevermind.


Still, those are nothing to sneeze at. Atleast KoS seems to be getting good rule updates,

No dice ,

Remember part of slaanesh’s gig is also depriving oneself. Not just excess 24/7

New warscrolls are pretty cool. Love the new temptation rule for the KoS, and for Hellbane.

Also, anyone notice they have the keyword chaos as well as slaanesh for all these abilities? Wondering if it means we will see some aelves with the slaanesh keyword to represent their corruption (similar to pestilens having nurgle, even though they do not worship him).

Ridiculous Hot Take: I was actually really pumped to run triple Kippers @ 165 points Curious what the new cost will be.

Syll’Esske continues to be a super strange unit. Maybe I'd feel better about it if I liked the mini, but personally I dislike both parts and find them weaker when stacked on top of each other like that W8 and combined buff auras means it'll see play tho

We've seen no inclination for Aelves following Slaanesh at this point. Morathi would have been the place for that, and she's pretty adamantly anti-Slaanesh at this juncture.

More likely it's for general Chaos related stuff--or it's to allow Idoneth to key off some of their abilities which trigger vs Slaanesh keyworded units.

Well I did though that at one point but Slaanesh would never give up on tasty elven souls to create some minions. Those are like potato chips!

Ninth is suggesting Slaanesh Aelves, as in worshipers.

We've had nothing pointing to that so far. In fact, we've had the opposite with the previously Slaanesh aligned Aelf(Morathi) being pretty put off what with having been devoured by Slaanesh.

That Daemon Prince seems pretty redicules in combat, 8 strength 8 ap-3 3 damage attacks (rerolling to hit) and upto 24 str 5 ap-1 attacks ?

Not slaanesh worshipers, those who have the keyword slaanesh but not keyword chaos. For example, skaven pestilens models have the nurgle keyword but they are not devotees of nurgle. They do, however, bear very similar corruption. I am just guessing though, because it seems odd that they would say "chaos slaanesh" instead of just "slaanesh" like every other god. There is no purpose to adding the "chaos" keyword except to distinguish abilities that cannot be used on slaanesh which aren't chaos.

It's possible that there's a spell which allows you to take control of an enemy unit and this is to avoid nonsense from that.

Also possible that it's something to do with the way the rules were written for 40k, as I believe the Solitaire from the Harlequins has the Slaanesh keyword.

Edit #2 note:
I've been pondering this a bit more and it might be related to another Season of War campaign? Free Cities have had issues with Cults in their human populaces, Slaanesh is a popular one.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they were saving Slaanesh mortals for an AoS/40k reveal. Tzaangors are used in both 40k and fantasy. And Kairac alcoytes were used in artwork depicting tzeentch cults in 40k. They could be saving them for cultist chaff when they release Emperor's Children further down the line

Also not very fluffy. It should be 6 strength 6 hits.

Indeed.
The number 8 is definitely a lack of taste as far as Slaanesh is concerned!

Add their str, tough, wounds, attacks, and leadership together to get 36 (+1 str from the aura ability). Coincidence or a clever play by GW?

That would be a bit backwards, though. On the Age of Sigmar side you'd end up with one of the following:

1. You need the Hedonites battletome along with a campaign book for the rules for mortal followers, which will either be bogus because it's so close to the battletome that you have to wonder why they are not just in the battletome or so far removed that that's not an issue, but you're back to the the old Slaaneshi problem of waiting forever to get new models.

2. You're getting an updated battletome with the same timeline problems as above.

3. Slaanesh gets two battletomes, one for daemons, one for mortals, when every other Chaos God has been consolidated into a single book.

None of these are ideal and as the continued addition of originally Age of Sigmar (or Warhammer Fantasy even) Tzeentch units shows, GW is not averse to crossing over stuff whenever a new book is ready rather than holding back some stuff for a specific release. Otherwise Tzaangors wouldn't have gotten their 40k release first.

The problem is that AoS Slaanesh gets its book now and I have a hard time believing there is some master plan for surprising us with mortal models within a decent time frame.
