I hope there's a generic prince build in that kit and not just the named dude. Would be nice to see the current, rather dodgy model replaced.

Yeah. Though Belakor (as the 'First Prince') with his own daemon prince seems... odd.

About that, maybe I'm misremembering but doesn't Belakor have a narrative going on about becoming a Chaos god or toppling the Chaos gods or both? Or am I mixing him up with Archaon?

Either way, I'm pretty sure he's got a huge ego. Seems fitting to me that he'd want a daemon prince in thrall to him for the prestige alone, since that's usually something only a Chaos god can claim.

He's got a massive inferiority complex concerning Archaon. So binding another prince to him would certainly be in character for his ego.

And. Wow.

Horns of Hashut are listed alongside the Warcry Warbands, so these may be a new option being previewed at Warhammer Fest?

First impression, I like those Chosen.

Chaos Dwarf Warcry team, baby!

Well now, who's the big boy in the background?

If the battletome contents are true (and its looking very likely at this point) the rumors of Beasts of Chaos getting rolled into Slaves to Darkness have been put out to pasture.

That may be Eternius, Blade of the First Prince, as the other Daemon Prince (with the Chosen) warscroll is also out there and showing it to be generic.

It's probably the Ogroid Theridon.

We all expected that the Warhammer Fest previews would be telling us about things we already knew about, and with these leaks, that appears to be coming true.

I really, really want this to be true!

Hashut, the Father of Darkness, is the God of Fire, Greed and Tyranny and patron deity of the Chaos Dwarfs.

Horns of Hashut is definitely going to be a new Chorf Warcry warband.

It's all thrown into the slaves to darkness section that warcry uses. It's all but guaranteed at this point.

Looks like the whole book is going to leak there’s warscrolls floating around as well.

Well shiver me timber ! Wouldn't have thought we'd get leaks of another Chaos battletome this soon ! Chosen looks nice !

Taking bets on how long before potato cam article appears on WHC?

Yeah, they look great, and will be perfect as demonic warriors in other games too.

That's a nice horsieman!

It may not. They'll probably scramble and do a full reveal for Warhammer Fest, since its only a week away.


I'm impressed so far. Though it takes a lot of cues from the original, I prefer the old chaos lord on daemonic mount. It has such an imposing presence from doing nothing at all. Really gave me "nazgul hunting the hobbit" vibes


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also, can anyone tell if the daemon prince in the newer photo has similar elements to the guy fro the original leak? He's smaller, so maybe that's Be'lakor's "blade?" Or is he the new DP?

Depends how far out this is meant to be,

if it's a long time (like the Heresy box set) they'll say nothing, if its in the next few months i imagine they'll stick it in warhammer fest if it wasn't scheduled to be there already

I like that the chosen muscisian is called a skull drummer. Becaus the old model had a skull drum.

But this guy doesn't. Unless he has options???

Yeah it really depends how far off. Hopefully this is just a jump start on things coming in Warhammerfest so its early but not too early.


Also I'm fairly sure the Heresy was likely put back several dates as a result of the whole Pandemic issues so chances are that went on way longer than normal.

Think this might be fall release. Still surprise but gw being gw or wd updates for rest coming fast.

Ooo! Nice cover.

Lovely change from 'dudeman poses in front of minions and nothing hides the poor proportions'

That has to be the limited version with the army set.

Im very curious about that "Centurion Marshal" and "Chaos Legionaries"

Bull-Centaur? Chaos Dwarfs?

Maybe we'll get new marauder models...

New warscrolls:

Ogroid Theridons

Horns of Hashut

Chaos legionnaires

Centaurion marshal

Eternus blade of the first prince

So unless the big winged boy is the centaurion and we just aren't seeing the backside, either him or the guy on the page with the chosen has to be a new DP.

Also legionnaires is... really close to the new name for CSM. Legionaries is what they're called in the new book. They wouldn't... would they?

Is it? I don't pay much attention to AoS books, but most of GW's 'limited edition' books these days are usually exactly the same but with the brand overlays removed from the art.

Or something similar- with the Thondia book they just took out the red from the top, shrank the logo and gave the sigil a color gradient.

confirmed as new DP
