So GW finally updates Marauders
Click to expand...
No'nt.

They aren't just Marauders, and we are yet to see if they will fully replace Maraolders (haven't read the full article yet) and current ones will go TOW.

Edit: Ok, I've read the article, Darkoath may not replace OG Marauders since it says they worship Chaos Undivided, and lack some weapon options.

Wilderfiends are literally Spawns gone not that bad. Fingers crossed they also fit a 50 mm base.

Darkoath are pretty much the AoS reimagining of Chaos Marauders - the article even gives the infantry the name 'Marauders', so I'm pretty sure these are going to replace the old Marauder models, which of course will be given a new life in TOW.

The only model I particularly like out of those - would certainly work as an alternative Razorgor or Chaos Spawn for Beastmen.
 
As nice as the Darkoath models are on their own, they suffer from the same issue that nearly every new GW release within the past 8-9 years has had, if not longer. Monopose or not, they're definitely warband miniatures that wouldn't be out of place in Underworlds, Warcry, or a similar Mordheim-esque game system, with each model being a dynamic character in their own right. Unfortunately, 40k and AoS alike are played at such a scale that multiple such warbands need to be taken in order to play a standard game, which puts the models in an awkward position of being unnecessarily detailed for their respective roles.

What does not sell me completely on that line of thinking is that if they are Chaos Undivided, then old maras will get TOW'd and new maras will (probably)
not be able to take a specific mark, so there would be that niche.

There's always the idea/possibility that each Chaos god will end up with their own AOS Marauder equivalent instead, like Kairic Acolytes, Bloodreavers and Blissbarb Archers.
 
I might be the only one who, while appreciating the new miniatures coming out and acknowledging their quality, is eagerly awaiting Games Workshop to release a miniature of some special character for the Seraphon, whether it's an old one brought back or entirely new. I want something fresh and unique!

Honestly, the lack of named characters for certain factions is depressing.

Wonder who could be...

What could be Sigmar's lie...

More to come in AdeptiCon next 20th of month.

Honestly, the only thing I can think of is chaos sigmarines, but that seems rather lame.
But aside from stormcasts going really evil there isn't really anything that fits with this trailer.
