You sure can have some fun with the kit (see my Khorne Prince below, spoilered for size). It's plastic, it has options, the sculpting isn't terrible for when it came out. I mean, I like none of the heads, and the faces specifically, but the model isn't actually terrible no matter how much I like to see it replaced. Mostly these days it's just let down by its diminutive size given everything else has been embiggened in the meantime.

Nice conversions. But if you need to convert up a model using other kits and bits so that you can make the final model look good, then the original model probably isn't very good.

well, I have not a single GW model that was released the past 10 years that is not converted, hence I stopped buying them because they are too expensive for something that is just the base of a conversion but this is me

some minor changes can do a lot with for GW models and the question is not, how good does it look but are you willing to pay the price for a base model that needs conversion

the current plastic one is a great base that is not too expensive, and I have the feeling that this will be different with the new one as it will be more expensive and designed in a way that make it horrible to convert

Not a huge fan of the Ogroids, they look kinda awkward in the same way the Minotaurs do, but everything else is looking pretty great.

Why are the Ogroids not Beasts of Chaos? They would fit perfectly!

Chaos Ogres.
Not beasts like a Minotaur.

Dragon Ogres could fit that same principle, yet they are considered beasts.

Don’t disagree. Just giving a possible narrative in GW’s eyes

No but yeah, I like all faces too. BTW nice conversion !

So if eternitus is just an alt chaos lord build, I guess the monster dude is the centurion marshal

Also he looks like evil vandus hammerhand. The pose and even the mounts head look the same

Lore wise, they used to be a destruction faction before turning to chaos for power. So basically AOS dragon ogres. They definitely should be available beast of chaos

The ‘Centaurion’ Marshall is presumably the centaur guy in the photo with Eternitus.

Oh gosh. I really, l really like what I'm seeing with the Hashut guys. They are almost assuredly going to be an insta buy for me, though I have a feeling I'll be looking for head swaps

Ogroid Theridons (revealed)

Horns of Hashut (revealed)

Chaos legionnaires

Centaurion marshal (~revealed)

Eternus blade of the first prince (revealed)


I guess the legionnaire is the belakor dude, since we’ve seen models for the rest with warscrolls. Centaur unconfirmed but it has to be the four legged thing

IDK, I really want to to wait on seeing better pics before deciding the centaur guy is the centurion. But if he is, I wonder is the legionaries will also be centaurs?

I think the legionnaires are the guys around Eternus. They look somewhere between Marauders and Warriors?

He’s not called a Centurion, he’s called a Centaurion.

I really want to like the Thermidons, but they're just not as cool as this guy.

Too early to judge whether Hashut's vanguard unit are any good, but they are clearly a Warcry Warband elevated to regular status.

Eternus is a very lazy name - good job there GW - but the mini's nice. I like sick glaive.

Those are some damn tall Chaos Dwarves.

To be fair, we have nothing to compare them against. It's a partial pic of one mini, and with nothing around it to give context for size.

But but how could you possibly know that he was blessed with immortality otherwise????

Oh, gosh. I really cant tell if I love or hate that name.

Eternus, the Eternal Blade of the First Prince, armed with the Glaive of Unending, the Everlasting Flail, and riding his horrific Daemonic Steed, Immortia!

The fact that I had to go check the warscroll to see if that was fake really tells you something about GW

Why didnt they call him Eternus the Eternal?

Anyway, the daemon prince options on the warscroll is obviously there so anyone having the soon to be "old" prince still would be able to run it.

I like the new daemon prince -its suitible for all gods even if you dont get more options. The "old" one dont really go well with neither tzeench nor nurgle theme in my oppinion, and I have long hoped for a dedicated tzeench prince. Hoping for some nice bits in this new kit.

Because of the Mouse God, and I'm not taking about the Horned Rat.

Something tells me that Horns of Hashut aren't all Chaos Dwarves...they don't have the keyword duardin, after all.

They will certainly be treated the same way than other cultists : more variety like during the good old days of Realm of Chaos.

After all, why only duardins should worship Hashut ?

And we know that the box for Warcry will contain 10 models. Because that's how their options are counted.

Ah, and thats why we wont se Lucius in 40k, i suppose.

Hold on Stormcast Ete.. whats that they called now?

There's also rules for the Theridons.

Also uh, the entire nighthaunt tome leaked. At least all the rules, not the lore.

I always thought with Dragon Ogres (since AoS) and Minotaurs in Beasts of Chaos sporting fairly light armor, the monstrous infantry of Warriors of Chaos should wear far more plate to set them apart. Could have even gone the Urukhai route and armored the front with bare backs to preserve some of the Ogroids current look. The way they are now, I'm not the biggest fan. Not offended either, mind. It's just a bit of a missed opportunity in my opinion.

You're not wrong, but for entirely real world reasons GW should not go and make the first Hashut worshippers they've done in a quarter of a century humans. It's inconsiderate. People have been waiting and hoping for Chaos Dwarfs for a long time.

I think Chaos Dwarfs are almost definitely coming, and now at least they’re more likely to be their own thing rather than a handful of units in the Slaves to Darkness book.

Sorry if its been mentioned, but it seems the Nighthaunt book has also leaked(warscrolls/points and such)

I'm currently work blocked so can't post photo's. They're up on the Nighthaunt FB page.
