Hmmm 2 and a half years of nothing versus a couple of paragraphs still think the purple perverts might be reading too much into it.

On a serious note I noticed that pp's don't show the box following this one. It is the horned rat plotting but noticing that somone else who wants godhood is coming and that there not replacing him.

So which God is getting replaced bound to be one of the ones with a full new range obviously

It has not been 2 and a half years of nothing that's the thing if people actually follow the narrative from the start instead of reading random comments by doomsayers and those who have barely read anything. Slaanesh has gotten several short stories and mentions in several battletomes dealing with chaos and is the main antagonist in the warhammer quest hammerhal that pretty much shows slaanesh is still playing the great game. Plus releasing a start collecting daemons box along with giving them tide over rules in the general handbook 2017 along with GW also starting in a Q&A that we are going to start seeing the narrative for slaanesh in 2018.

Also even in AOS they are not shying away from those aspects either. These images are from the AOS main campaign books. What do we see? Boobs. Now that's only one aspect of slaanesh but those saying that GW are trying to "save the kids" are also spreading a false narrative.

I sure hope Slaanesh gets a kit that copies the brilliance of the Lord on demonic mount the same way Blight Kings and Blight Lords copied the Lord of Plagues and Harbinger. It's one of the few 10/10 models for me. If we don't get such a kit the new Gorgons will make a solid base for Chosen or knights I guess, but look at that Lord. Who wouldn't want an army of his/her mini-mes?

Legions of Nagash also talks about Slaanesh and interestingly that Nagash himself is really ticked off that the Aelf gods nicked their own races souls back when they captured Slaanesh.

Although its also said that he would not have been sure but Morathi syphoned some off for her own purposes - which we know now are the Daughters of Khaine.

Bared breasts are also a theme with the Medusae models - its not just Slaanesh.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar Open Day
Warhammer World’s Warhammer Age of Sigmar Open Day is a celebration of everything you love about the Mortal Realms and the heroes, gods and monsters who roam them

At the event you can chat with some of our talented staff, who will be there talking about and showing off their creations. One of the activities to get involved in is our first Warhammer Underworlds Grand Clash!

Anyone who's wanting to run Vanguard, I'd highly suggest splitting a Blight Wars with a Nurgle player and then also snagging the Start Collecting set. It's some good value there.

So I got the Malign portents book in the god reaction section to the chaos gods the horned rat is also there. One I love his reaction? Because he himself utterly annihilates the meme that he replaced slaanesh.

The Great Horned Rat crawled between the hidden places of the void, his thirteen sky-scratching whiskers twitching as he stared down at the teeming multitudes of Blight City. Their endeavours were pleasing to him, as they had always been. So many, now, it was hard even him to keep track. Let the four take the brunt of the god-king's resurgence.(This line totally kills the meme that the horned rat replaced slaanesh thank god.) The myriad swarm would continue to grow more powerful in the corners of each realm, burrowing through time and space to make ready for the great upheaval even as he fellow dark gods and the Pantheon of order expended their strength.


When the time was right, he would turn the Mortal Realms to blighted wastelands fit only for glorious vermin, thereby rising through the chaos pantheon to make the other dark gods kneel before him. It was a solid plan, and the Great Horned Rat was in no mind to change it.

His whiskers twitched again, sending rippling auroras of green-black energy cascading across the skies of the Mortal Realms. There was something coming; its rippling in the smog-ridden miasma of Blight City was unmistakeable. Its was the touch of death - or rather undeath - laced through the arid tang of the desert tomb. Something that sought to contend for same power he himself would rightfully claim.

A rival.

The Great Horned Rat curled his lip, the glow of warpfire and infernal industry glinting from colossal chisel-like teeth that could sever realities. No Rival would take his place on the ladder. No would-be godling would disrupt his ascension. He was the lord of pestilence, of vermin and of endless, starving wastelands, and he had already suffered the sneers of the four for far too long.

If the cosmos was to turn to utter ruin, it would be him and him along would ensure it.

So yeah the great horned rat himself destroying the stupid meme that he replaced slaanesh(even though this was not said once in any book). Thank you the great horned rat!

That Slaanesh squatted/replaced thing was dead a since the very first campaign book, the only people supporting it have been doing so with disregard for the facts. That said I haven't seen anyone supporting that view lately but plenty complaining about it, so maybe we can just drop the issue entirely...

Trust me I still see it. Topics that deal with slaanesh from reddit to even the total war forums/reddit they believe slaanesh has been removed to this day. Just a few days ago I saw someone using the first campaign book to prove that slaanesh has been removed and the amount of upvotes he got made me shake my head in sadness. Even on the GW facebook page people think slaanesh has been squatted.

It certainly isn't the case along those that could be considered hardcore fans of the lore, those that do bother and gather quite a... few books. But to what would be more accurate to describe as layman/casual it's actually suprisingly pervasive, just that they don't bring it too much because they don't get involved too much/too deeply.

If you read about it the campaign is more a choose your adventure than which faction stomps the other. Now it's less about a popularity contest with the armies *looks at order* and more about where players want the narrative to head by clocking games into a certain path or portent. I think the 40k campaign would of ended differently if they used this system. I won't be surprised when next year they do a campaign again for 40k they will be using this system again.

Unlike the other times, though, the choice isn't faction locked. You can have order votes be spread all over the choice pool depending on how they feel .

Uh, it went pretty well last time. Yeah Order won all three cities, but those cities & and references to the campaign defending them were subsequently included seamlessly in later fluff (and rules). I remember all the people insisting that it was going to get ret-conned, based on a sample size of 2 from a decade earlier. They haven't touched on the subject again, coincidentally

I feel that's the better way to do it. The old good v bad was much too dull. But to have all armies hurtling towards unseen and uncertain outcomes really does appeal to me.

The lines of good and bad are blurry as is right now with the setting. Daughters of Khaine are considered a good faction, despite being a thinly veiled murder cult, but there's also the Knights Excelsior, who maintain quite a (understatement here) genocidal modus operandi towards any form of corruption, weakness and the like.

Yes and no - Daughters of Khaine are an Order faction not a Good faction even if GW itself sometimes confuses the two in its writing.

Same as Death is not technically a "bad" faction especially if you go by the novels - but the Battletomes do tend to make it much more black and white than the setting has become but I guess they are trying to make it simple for players?

Gotrek is getting an audiobook in October, set in the Mortal Realms...

Amazon pre-order page wrote:Fabled hero of the Warhammer Old World, Gotrek Gurnisson is reborn and cast into the Age of Sigmar for a brand-new, feature-length audio adventure.

Gotrek Gurnisson was the greatest monster slayer of the age, who met his doom at the End Times. The heroic duardin stepped forth into the Realm of Chaos to fight the daemons gnawing at the world's ending and satisfy his death oath, leaving behind his companion Felix Jaeger. Now Gotrek has returned, having outlived the old gods and the Old World. Spat from the ruinous depths with his redemption unfulfilled, he emerges into the Mortal Realms, a strange new world where gods walk the earth and dark forces are ascendant. Nothing is as he remembers. His oaths are dust, and the lands are torn asunder by Chaos. Yet when Gotrek learns of human champions being elevated to immortality for Sigmar’s fight against this darkness, the so-called 'Stormcast Eternals', he knows why fate has brought him into this new age. To find Felix. For only then can he find the peace in death he seeks. But is there more to Gotrek's apotheosis than even he can fathom? Has he truly been chosen by Grimnir and for what purpose?

This audio drama boxed set contains a four-part story read by a stellar cast, recounting the much anticipated return of Gotrek Gurnisson.
