Uh, I don't think anyone is suggesting he's anything but morbidly obese. Just not supernaturally obese.

There's so much done so well about this model in my eyes. Really a fantastic centerpiece and dam is that a project! I particularly like that they went with a pulled palanquin rather than a giant monster as the mount. The GW aesthetic of covering everything in details really, really works here too. I could just go on and on about how much I like about the design.

So... $240?

Yeah, they captured the Hedonite feel of this model to a T IMO.

Love it. Resisting this army is going to be a challenge. What is potentially left to show, the Newborn?

At this point, I'm wondering if the Newborn will even get a model. Unless they maybe release him as part of his/her own shattered realm book, despite no new model coming with the first one, I think we've seen everything from the Hedonite's release. Also, they've got two large center piece models, Sigvald and Glutus, the former probably being 60$ and Glutus probably costing a bit more than Kratakos, whose "only" $110.

However, it's not impossible for them to have three large models. Necrons got the Silent King, the Void dragon, AND a monolith in one release (not even counting the pretty large canoptek construct.)

**Either/Or**

The chariot/VIP lounge is overall pretty cool, but one bit of functionality just seems weird. There is no wheel in the front and with the nature of the guys pulling it this would be a very unbalanced an nauseating ride-seems like it should have had another wheel or two? How do they put it down to rest/poop/etc?

Also, for a guy that likes to eat, how is he supposed to get any food in his mouth with that tongue? Agree with a previous comment it looks tacked on and not actually like its his tongue.

I suspect Newborn will just be a lore feature, hanging around in the background.

That or it's beaten/imprisoned before Broken Realms wraps up.

**Saturmorn Carvilli**

I'm going to have to comfort my Chaos Shrine's ogres now they've seen how Slaanesh palatine ones get awesome vest yokes and more jewelry. At least my big guys are carrying the shrine those lazy oaf are just dragging it along like some common rickshaw.

**Overread**

I think most think of Nurgle when they think of supernaturally obese in the setting. So it might in part be the designer avoiding crossing that creative line.

On the other hand just because you take things into excess doesn't mean you have to be crippled with it (yet).

**kestral**

GW is doing good work with the new Slaanesh aesthetic. I like that looks partly made out of ruined hotel lobby. I'm sure people will do some wild stuff with it.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Oh hello Genestealer Patriarch in armor palanquin.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Wondering if this solely a Special Character, or a Special Character version of an otherwise stock unit?

Nauseatingly unbalanced is also a sensation. Either that or the stone framing is massive enough to dampen that out a little; those are some seriously beefy wheels.
As for putting it down to stop, there’s probably a kick-stand there somewhere. Or they may just not be allowed to…

What I don’t get is how the guy with the flail actually does his job, because every part he can reach with those tiny straps is armoured.

**GoatboyBeta**

Well knowing Slaanesh, not getting the lash is probably a punishment.

**Overread**

I don't see why it should be uncomfortable to ride in - horses have been pulling ploughs and trailers in straight lines for centuries without having a wheel in the middle.

LoA is - most likely - being discontinued from FW, as they've already removed Draz and Ironsworn. So it's either:
A) LoA will be moved to Legends.
B) Plastic CD incoming.

LoA started having items discontinued ages ago.
It’s slowly been dragging on and they lost more as the moulds died.
I’d like to see plastic CD, but with all the new releases as they are, I’m not seeing it.
I’d love to be proven wrong by GW, but I stopped building my LoA army because it was losing kits more and more.
Meant turning to eBay scalpers to carry on with an already expensive project.

It will definitely be solely this guy.
Which is unfortunate as a generic would be cool. Katakros is only him too right?

I mean, lore wise, you can just make them your own guy which is fine, but it’s nice to get a generic in my opinion (even better back in fantasy when with like vampires you could really make them unique with bloodlines, weapons, powers etc.)

Super rare for FW unit to transform into plastic so odds are good even if plastic CD would appear it would be with totaly new units. With old ones being relegated to legens anywa

**CragHack**

Honestly, I don’t feel bad about it, as now the resale value has gone 100%, if not 200% up

Maybe its not a tongue at all. maybe its a part of the last thing he is eating. since the color doesnt match any other parts of him

Think there is room for some speakers and player loaded with quotes from Futurama's Hedonism Bot?
