Khorne‘s standards dropped a lot in recent Warhammer lore then…😭 a Chaos God of angry losers. But „maaagic isn‘t honorable“. Bah. Khorne could branch off to Grand Alliance Death, some of those at least died AFTER a fight!


Valkia's ascension occurs in WHF, over a decade ago. And Khorgos had to get the skull of 5 champions and he gets Gavriel's which is supposedly the 5th, what's the problem?

There are too many factions that desperatly need an expansion/renovation that I can’t see room for Kharadron to receive something tuis edition

I am with you there. I see KO having maybe a hero and scenery and wrapping until the 5th ed.

I can't see any faction that should recieve a new wave of miniatures before Fyreslayers or Kharadrons Overlords.

Idk, dok, fs, tzeentch, ogor, obr or kruleboyz have a very bad army composition.

Kharadron have little number of minis, but every unit fills a role and have an archetype (well, maybe KO don’t have cavarly per se, but their battle traits work like that)

Roles are tied to rules, rewrite the rules to fill the role that is missing. I'm talking about new models.

I'd just add IDK to that list. The rest of the armies are quite recent or already quite expansive.

Some armies need refreshes of kits, but FS, KO and IDK really need new kits as additions to their armies.

"Every unit fills a role and has an archetype" is absurdly vague and can be applied to a lot of things.

IDK have melee front line, cavalry, archers, monsters, and heroes of the wizard, foot melee and mounted varieties.  

Ogors have a lot of variety; they have chaff infantry, monstrous infantry, elite monstrous infantry, ranged options, artillery, cavalry, multiple monsters. They aren't lacking in anything, its just that their models are starting to look stanky.

Tzeentch has a pretty large amount of variety if you're looking at the army as a whole instead of just singling out the mortal half or daemon half.

That's 100% the inspiration. Lines up with Imperial Agents being rumoured as the next 40k Codex too.

Idoneth, Ogors and DoK. Idoneth just before KO.

Nah, sorry.

You can't come and say now that namartis are the elite of IDK with that model representation and all the lore behind, same with witch aelves, or do the opposite in OBR saying now stalkers are the chaff.

Everyone wants new minis all the time, but there are armies that need a fix in their roster, there are armies with fantasy kits that have to go out the game, there are armies that receive tons of minis just because popularity, and then we have Kharadron, that have a nice represented roster, all new minis and is not very popular.

Here you go. 40k for that one. Especially knowing there are rumours about them being released soon.

If they don't solve the problem with the scenary then It is better no more faction terrains

They had the chance with the indexes and decided to push for sceneries even more, so I think this edition we will see more of them.

Which problem with scenary are you referring? the suppy one from China manufaturers or anything else?

At this point, with more than half of the armies having faction terrain that costs 0 points, I'd rather have it for everybody than keep it as it is now

In one of the first posts after the Skaventide preview, it was mentioned as well that the Grypgh-Stalker is a gift from Morrda as well. It is nice that we start seeing some minor death deities, and indeed it will match what Whitefang said. Maybe we see more Morrda/ other minor goods related stuff during this edition.

Really wish they will  come out with a "Ionus like" ruination chamber unit.

I know. But KOs and Fyreslayers are part of the first ones that are in need of new miniatures.

What does KO need? I mean, the designspace for them is limited. Their 'cavalary' are the ballon dudes and small gunhaulers. It would be weird for them to be on horses.

 

Ogors really need new models. Those are butt ugly. IDK and DoK need units to help them have more diverse builds and not just play the same things over and over again.

Oh. So Ionus shares that feral skull design with the new Veritant. I didn't know it! Do we know what is that referencing to?

I have that mini. I  miss inquisitor. I'd love to see gw try something in a larger scale again, especially if it's for AoS.

Nah, I’m vetoing your bit here- OBR, Tzeentch, DoK and KBZ are all behind KO in terms of “Armies In Need Of New Units”. KO has a tiny amount of models, with overlap between several somehow, and haven’t gotten much of anything since 1st Edition. Only FS and IDK can match them.

KO need actual line infantry, or heavier infantry than the Arkanauts who occupy a hybrid space without actually having dedicated melee forces that don’t shoot. It wouldn’t even be hard to justify their existence. They’ve got 15 units that aren’t from Underworlds total, there’s definitely room to make them not just 2 flavors of shooty infantry, 2 flavors of balloon infantry, 3 flavors of ships, and then some heroes.

Maybe. But that doesn't mean that KOs or Fyrslayers doesn't need new waves.

A lot. Elite-melee units, duelist heroes, defensive foot-troops, new ships (dedicated transports, offensive skyvessel, etc...), and any type of specialist unit that is not a "shoot" or "shoot-more" (megalith miners, corsairs, etc...). Btw, balloon boys are just shock troops, more close to light cavalry than a heavy cavalry.

Like KOs and Fyrslayers then. And remember that FS were released in 2016...
