It can become the Chaos Lord + Chaos Sorcerer combined unit, or spllited in two each one with a bodyguard.

I wish GW were not cowards and just sold these guys as a combo pack of a Lord and Sorcerer with two variant chaos warriors as a bonus. Ideally at a discount compared to a two individual foot heroes. But they will probably write rules for them as a singular unit that becomes too points inefficient to be worth using instead.

Yeah, that's the best solution. In third I already used the sorceress as a generic chaos sorcerer and Khagra as a unit champion.

But it will probably conflict price wise with the new chaos Lord or sorcerer on foot that will probably be released with the new BT.

The trick with Plaguepack is that it's a priest (1) unit with -1 to be hit with shooting and once per game chanting re roll BUT do not count as hero ;) 

So it could be the same with Knight arcanum/Storm coven and  Chaos sorcerer/Ravagers

I'm just kind of worried that those units will turn out like the Fusil-Major on Warhulk, which has a good body, good melee, good shooting, gives ranged units +1 to hit and is a bonus hero, but even with all frequently seems to struggle with his 180 point price tag when you actually sit down and do the math.

Kharaga isn't a chaos lord just a head warrior of the warband but i definitely can see this replace the Chaos Sorcerer

I dee what i can do in the week end

I was changing diapers and my mind went all in.

What about a league now that we are starting the edition? We can guess the upcoming BTs warbands or the edition as a whole and check once all the BTs have been released 😄

It is the same day as the Warhammer Day, according to Elarin. We need to get confirmation on how they will do the preview that day.

In other news: next free model in Warhammer stores is going to be a StD Chaos Warrior. I guess that we might see the battletome in October; however, I haven't heard anything specific yet.

If it ends up being a non-hero wizard I expect it to be pretty good. The Plague Pack seems excellent (150 points fur a 10 wound priest with huge board presence that doesn't require an additional drop? Yes please).

Sons of Velmourn and Zondara’s Gravebreakers. Chaos will probably get the Gnarlspirit Pack. OBR may receive something new or they keep Mir Kainan because it’s impossible to improve on perfection

Speaking on Kainan, I was reading his lore in the warhammer website and ... 

ir Kainan is a brutal enforcer of the Mortisans, fanatically devoted to ensuring the bone tithe is met – and first to be despatched when Nagash resolved to claim the dues of the Silent People

Don't know if it was stated here before but another hint for them

We have had so many supposed hints for Silent People and it all panned out to nothing.

So many? I only recall one hint in a white dwarf and one mention in an underworld book

Do I miss some?

He’s from the Underworlds edition that had them as part of the background. It’s not a hint, they’re just the Macguffin that brought him to Beastgrave.

Yeah, it's just worldbuilding.

It's already a difficult to release all the BT's within 3 years. Chaos dwarfs are replacing BoC. If they keep the edition cycle at 3 years there is not much room to introduce complete new armies.

Khagra's Ravagers were specifically called out as leaving the range in the article. It would be a real GW move to return those.

Same for Skabbik ‘ plaguepack It is all part of Whitefang ‘s weird-plan 😉

Also, I think it is worth noting that some theories say that the content from the WD about them is stripped content from the removed Season of War books.

Also, Chorfs this edition (rumoured for the next year), how long would we have to wait for them? 5th Ed. launching faction? More than 3 years? I don't think we would be receiving teases more frequently about them so early.

I meant feature in the website right now is Crimson court and Exiled Dead. Velmourn and Zondara aren't on the main faction website like Khagra's Ravagers
