"Uh...well I'd love a way for my army to actually work as an army instead of a deep strike tack-on ally, maybe something so my rank and file troops aren't made of paper AND super slow when not deep striking?"
"no, a ranged attack!
Eh?
Eh?"
I'm thrilled to have more stuff for my Khorne Daemons, keeps me interested in finishing the project. I am less thrilled at the couple things they showed, but hoping Legion of Skulls does something more legit ...

1) A stratagem that lets me move a unit directly towards the nearest enemy unit after taking 1 or more casualties: Bezerk Bloodrage, 1CP

3) A relic called "Coward's Demise" that grants Khorne models within 6" the ability to make an attack against any enemy model that falls back within 1" of them.
... like any of that
Re: Brazen Skull, I'll probably use it every turn anyway. Any model can throw (summon?) it and it janks its way through targeting with that deliciously generic "pick a target", so into combat, out of combat, whatever, and apparently suffers no negatives of any kind. Khorne stuff tends to have pretty high BS (Bloodmaster 2+ IIRC) just nothing to do with it
I'm all down for getting new characters, but the executioner seems to be bumping up on the Exalted Champion (which no one really took anyway), who re rolls all hits and wounds vs characters, and has an aura bubble. Unless this guy has some more hidden gimmicks, is really really cheap, or some combination of the two, I don't know what he brings to the table.
Now, what are the chances they'll release the full set of chaos cultists? Easy to build kits are the new fashion, and they keep showing off the cultist that were only available in Dark Vengeance, i.e, the shirtless knife guy, the clawed champion, etc. Some of these models were even shown off on the boxart of some fairly recent terrain sets, so I don't know if that's a good sign or not.
EDIT: Reposted the Lord Executioner pic. Turns out it was posted a few pages back.

They might save that for the World Eaters codex.
They will do.
Will they though? Given the saturation of daemon, khorne and chaos models (some of which is following up on wrath and rapture), another burst of chaos releases seems... dubious.
Especially since the keeper of secrets should be lurking around for a release as well, alongside an likely AoS Slaanesh release (and the separate boxes for fiends and the harpist).
And warcry.... Really, I'd expect berserkers and WE to be put on a back shelf somewhere, just as a break from all the chaos stuff this year.

Was he shown off before? He did show up in the artwork, you can tell by his backpack. The face looks like a FW space wolf thing.

I am genuinely more interested on the way too blurry man on the left.. I want to believe him to be the new chaos lord, even if he could simply be a regular terminator...?

Yes. After Thousand Sons and Death Guard, I have no doubt we’ll get World Eaters and Emperors Children at some point (I think they were even mentioned in a preview seminar at one point, as examples of where they can go when all the codexes were done).
Come on GW. This release is still only the same size as the gloomspite release and smaller than the nighthaunt or deathguard releases.
We need a few more surprises.

Yup, at some point between 1996 and the future.

This is unlikely to be actually useful, because then i'll just shoot that unit even harder. Maybe try a rhino next time.

Bloodletters are for killing not for tanking. They deepstrike and have a 3D6 charge. This is useless.

Hey something good! 1 out of 3 isn't bad.

The terminator is the current terminator lord. You can tell by the dark angel helmet on his trophyrack. You can seem him more clearly in the havoc pic. I think he's got an unhelmeted face, which may be a conversionn.

As almost all Deamon Engine teasers have been revealed, and based on the old models they're showing in army photos on Warhammer Community, I'm afraid we're only left with a Havoc reveal and a Venomcrawler with baleflamer option at this point.

Ooph, looks like only 1 of each heavy weapon. Not all the heavy weapons or bodies on that sprue so I assume there's a second one with 1 of each of the rest. That'll hurt. Still a cool looking kit though.
