*narrows optics*

Guessing they mean bright colors / synthwave stuff? Seems legit!

Always a fan of Slaanesh but very excited for Emperor's Kids / Noise Marines

- Salvage

In all honesty that just sounds like a guess. But still a good one.

It's consistent with rumor I've heard the last couple years, but nothing has been substantiated. Sounds cool, though.

Would be surprised if it's October, I was told.december

That does sound neat.
Personally I would have preferred they focused more on the decadent aspect and went Marquis de Sade instead of Hot Topic, but that's fine.

Week 2's Art Card for those of us ordering Deepkin stuff!

Reaver sprues:


King sprues:


Reavers, ruleswise, are interesting but not super "OMG MUST HAVE!". Rerolling Run rolls will be nice during Flood Tide(Run+Shoot).

I can't find this eel on the reavers sprue, weird. It says it comes with one and shows a different one rearing to attack. But then they include this image suggesting two different sculpts. Kinda bummed this kit doesn't have as many cool bits n bobs as the thralls, guess the bows quivers took up all the space.

What's funny is that the actual product pictures don't show that eel at all. Look at...

It shows the rearing eel there and in


It's likely a bit from the Guard or Allopex and it just got mixed in. We had (still do I think) the Aspect of the Storm/Sea missing a frame in their stuff.

Ugh, that generic basing on Idoneth... Can't get over it. I'm just not eeling the synthesis of base-model-army there. Fortunately with all the little details I do expect to see some cool bases from gamers.

I need it.

So that Slaanesh rumour comes from the warhammer weekly youtube show were they were speculating about what a Slaanesh release MIGHT look like. Once again 4chan is trying to mess with people.

To be fair, the 24 hr livestream for New Years did have someone talking about Slaanesh models being worked on "hopefully releasing by 2019". Guy promptly dropped an F-bomb and it's been cut.

Yeah Slaanesh may well be coming but the hellraiser meets 80's guys in leather comment comes directly from warhammer weekly.
The livestream was for the launch of 40k. It was Jeremy Vetock, who also mentioned stuff about admech and Necrons.(which obviously came true with Forgebane) He did not swear. I was watching it live and was the first to share the news on Dakka which later got picked up by faeit.

We might have caught different parts of the livestream then, because the part I was referring to was the AoS bit. Was a brief thing, just a mention of models being worked on and then the F-bomb.

You know this post can mean something very different when Slaanesh is involved...

A bit disappointed the Idoneth Deepkin sprue's don't contain plastic carrier bags, plastic six pack can holders and random shopping trolleys for proper thematic bases. :(

Though it certainly helps that they themselves are made out of plastic.

Well, if there's anything to this rumor I'll certainly have to see those models.

And then I'll go and not buy a single one of them because I already get fits thinking of the fiddly bits my Skitarii have. Even thinner spikes and needles sticking out everywhere is... just not for me, I think.

Yea only see Mr Smiles on the sprue

So are we expecting a third week of Idoneth, or are they going to break it up with a 40k codex release?

We're expecting a third week of Idoneth.

They've stated as much with the Art Prints, they've been labeled as "Week X of 5".
Now, we might get Harlequins with it since that's supposed to be a no model release.

NB : the Harlequins Codex may be coming alongside a new scenery kit : a Webway portal (usable by other Aeldari factions) - remember the Rumor engine ? This may only be a stratagem thing though.

BTW from the Idoneth Battletome (page 15), I guess we just learnt the name of the new Slaanesh AOS army, going from "Hosts of Slaanesh" to ... "Seekers of Slaanesh".

Morathi's actions on Slaanesh's prison keep being mentioned in the fluff since Dok and Malign portents, and from various places we keep hearing rumors of Slaanesh's return, either October-December 2018 or January 2019.

That's not much, but it's getting more and more credible.

I am positive that just refers to one of the three specific hosts, as opposed to being a combination of pretenders, invaders and seekers.

I thought that first, but rereading the sentence in the ID BT it sounded more like the new faction name (it's also more Slaanesh related than just "Hosts of XYZ").

Slannesh are coming end of year. I don't often do the rumours thing but I was bang on for Nurgle and this is from the same source.

Keeper of secrets is wow apparently
