The article seems to imply he is coming for a new faction called the deathrattle(sounds like actual skeletons, not bone reapers). Tbh I might be sold on getting into AoS when they drop.

They are probably keeping all of the older undead units in Legions of Nagash, so new vampire, zombie, skeleton, and necromancer models. Narrative wise, it seems to be Nagash is mobilizing for a big push. Along with the newborn prince and Morathi’s shenanigans, it looks like the mortal realms are hitting a breaking point.

My hope is that something happens which breaks open the way to Azyr. Gives us access to all the realms for 3rd edition AoS. Would mean that Sigmar opens up another Stormcast chamber, which could be more of a defensive chamber, with more shootiness. Could go up against a traditional orruk army although it would be interesting to do a whole new destruction race, maybe an insectoid one. Might be too much like Tyranids, but AoS doesn’t have a tyranid swarm playstyle.

Damn, Be'lakor is getting a new model. That's pretty cool, and I don't even play or collect daemons.

I want to see how the head looks, might kitbash him into an approximation of this classic artwork.

Because holy fuck, 40k and AOS shouldn’t share a Daemon Prince kit.
 
If sigmar gets a bunch of cool skeletons like the wightking and the dudes in the dark city. I will forever bend the knee and start playing AoS
 
I'm disappointed about the Blood Knights. Kinda. Fact is, we need a proper skeleton army in AOS that isn't Bonereapers (I don't who thought skeletons with noses was a good idea), and the Wight is an important part of that. And there will be other models to pick up the slack for vampires once the full army is realized.

Speaking of bad ideas, I picked up a box of Slaangors, even though they're being regarded as the AOS equivalent of the Pyrovore. I just love the models.
 
Reading through the newest Slaanesh battletome and I am pleased at how they are describing Slaanesh and their followers. They emphasize that Slaanesh is about temptation and that even one little indulgence sends you straight into depravity. And they really create some interesting characters and stories to go along with that.

The new character, Glutos Orscollion, was a starving thief that ate some grain tributed to a Slaaneshi daemon prince who cursed Glutos with eternal hunger. He was so wracked with hunger that he ate a corpse out of desperation, upon which the daemon prince that cursed him assuaged his anguish, promising him an end to his pain if he sampled some rarer dishes.

Sigvald was trapped in a mirror from Shadespire by Nagash for killing Krell. The mirror got in the hands of a follower of Slaanesh and Sigvald used that guy's vanity to destroy the mirror by showing him an ugly reflection of himself. Sigvald actually didn't make it out of the End Times without a scratch. He has a scar hidden somewhere that pisses him off to no end. Apparently he is leading an army to destroy the Ossiarch Bonereapers to send a middle finger to Nagash.

Syll'Esske are described as leading and army that is "standing up against the inequities of Chaotic tyranny", but in reality they just want to replace their masters that looked down upon them. Wait, does that mean their faction are the hippies of Warhammer?

There is a short description in the timeline about a dwarf that fell into worship of Slaanesh by making techno-organic golems. Another hint at chaos dwarves.

And there's a story at the end of the book in which a follower of Slaanesh is at a large gathering of warbands. He starts questioning his purpose in the grand scheme of things when someone shoves a knife in his back. What a great way to cap off the book. You can't escape Slaanesh. To dwell on your depravities is a moment of weakness that a more deranged follower is willing to exploit. The only thing you can do is just pursue even more and more pleasures, to prevent you from reflecting on the monster that you have become.

Slaanesh hasn't gotten decent lore since Realm of Chaos. And after GW gutted the lore section of the 40k codexes, it's refreshing to learn about the units/characters of faction that go beyond two sentences by their unit entry.

Ok coomer, whatever you say. I don't want to take a punch from your doom fist.

It is my hope that when Slaanesh gets his update in 40k that they add new characters like they did for AOS. Sure, we’ll see Fulgrim, Lucius, Eidolon and maybe Doomrider, but I want new characters....... specifically the mythical Silver Knight of Slaanesh, the guy who’s caused so much damn speculation over the years.
