    Looks like Slaanesh is getting even more mortal reinforcements next year, @NIGHTBRINGER will be pleased:
    https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/12/08/meet-the-new-slaanesh-hedonites/
    We don’t know the full specifics of the kits yet, but we do know the rough nature of each new unit:
    • Foot archers
    • Steed-mounted archers (probably Monstrous Cavalry size as the Steeds are Exalted)
    • Exalted Steed heavy cavalry
    • Slaangors (a full plastic kit this time rather than a single model)
    I personally don’t think much of these (the Slaanesh Beastmen are somewhat OK, but my Beastmen army is going to be Khorne and Tzeentch-themed, partly because the Mark of Slaanesh on everything except Skin Wolves is awful in 8th Edition, partly because I prefer Khorne and Tzeentch anyway), but Slaanesh fans waiting for more mortals will hopefully be pleased.

    Now begs the question... where’s that Fyreslayer second wave GW? *taps one foot impatiently*

    As said in another thread, i don't like slaanesh daemons... mortal hedonites are more interesting (not that i will ever collect them, but at least they don't irk me)

    I don't like Slaaneshi daemons. They're coarse and rough and irritating and they get every, EVERY, where.

    I'm loving these riders, the Slickblade Seekers I think they are named:

    This take on Slaanesh having some kind of Greek-esque heavy troops and pseudo-Persian light troops is quite cool Imo.

    Also, Slaangors.

    This pleases my weak spot for Beastmen: they are like the actual Chaos Lizardmen counter. Skaven are more like antithesis.

    Nothing new, just rebranded Hellstriders of Slaanesh from 8th edition Warhammer:

    News on the release schedule for the next months.

    Basically: fewer releases the next quarter, but there is a new Battletome and new models for February.

    If anything, Slaanesh will enjoy his/her/whatevs Valentine's Day, unless there is a new faction out of the blue.

    Commercially a good idea.

    However... Personally, it just makes me a little irritated as it just stirs up nuking 8th edition... :(

    Anyone heard anything about TOW?

    It’ll have to be a new faction getting a tome, as the Slaanesh models have all been previewed before and Hedonites have a new Battletome. If anything the new Slaanesh models will get their rules in a Broken Realms book because they’re an existing faction.

    We’ll find out just what faction it is in a couple of days...

    All GW have said about TOW is that news about it will appear sometime in 2021. As to when, your guess is as good as mine.

    But let's face it, TOW ain't coming in 2021.
