GW News: LAS VEGAS OPEN 2025

Also you forgot the other unit you can build with it:

I did not forget, it was a purposeful omission. Those alternate heads look horrendous.

Lord Agragax of Lunaxoatl said:
The Myrmidesh Painbringers look decent, but the other unit their kit can make is just too weird, pretty much Slaanesh Forsaken. What do you think of these Slaanesh mortals @NIGHTBRINGER?

I like them! Not as good as it had been an armoured female variant, but very very nice models. Too bad that they don't look like they would rank up very well.

I don’t know, I imagine if you stuck them in a way such that their feet were aligned diagonally across a 25mm x 25mm base as if they were inserted into a diagonal slottabase, with their heads posed turning toward the enemy, you could get them to fit. You’d have to test that with a dry-fit before gluing though. I managed to get Fyreslayer Vulkite Berzerkers to rank up on 20mm squares for my Slayer unit (they were the first ever entry for my painting blog), so there’s always a possibility.

My only concern with these chaps is that GW have only shown 5 models, so if they’re a 5-model kit that’s going to make one expensive Slaaneshi Chaos Warrior unit :inpain:

Maybe... but it is going to be tight and a pain in the butt. (Slaaneshi pun intended?)

That's true. GW doesn't come cheap.

Not too keen on the top-knot girl or the mutated Sorcerer

Sorcerer might look better with a head swap.

Lord Agragax of Lunaxoatl said:
I imagine you’re considering these as extra models...
Click to expand...
They are definitely worthy candidates. A fairly cost effective way of picking up good selection of Chaos Warriors Lords and Heroes. Maybe at some point down the road I might consider them. For now my focus is on my Chaos Dwarfs.
 
Sigvald... beautiful model, bland (at best) character

Drukhari. xeno update, cool. ...but seriously? I'd say there are other xeno that needed it

The war for metallica would be cool. If not that it gives additional contents to AdMech and knights (and engine wars was one of the latest psychic awakening) plus Death guards again. How original.

This model is pretty awesome. It would make a fine addition to @Mrs. NIGHTBRINGER 's Wood Elf army. I like it better than the current Treeman sculpt. This one looks more natural, as it actually came out of the forest while the WFB version feels a bit more daemonic.
 
NIGHTBRINGER said:
True, but the first two are comically bad... to the point where it almost seems deliberate.

I mean, they are possesed, I'd assume this is what they are going for :p

NIGHTBRINGER said:
Why is everyone hating on poor Sigvald? I love the fact that even when in battle he has his retainers attend him with mirrors so he can see himself. That is so Slaanesh.

I guess cuz even at the best of times sigvald is just a superficial character. I mean there's only so much you can do with "super-vain character"

Might be an issue in general though with Slaanesh, it's excess and vanity are not exactly super interesting traits. So most of the slaanesh-y heroes are just kind a boring.

I never really liked that aesthetic. Reminds me of the Forsaken models released in 8th edition... awful models.

It is one-dimensional, but not more so than Khorne and bloodshed or Nurgle and disease. I think it works, but it would appear that most people feel otherwise.
 
It's also another name character that gets brought back. While most factions are looking at a grand total of nothing in that category.slanesh is up to four and Chaos in general is at dozens

I agree, the Lord of the Rings plastic Ent also makes a more natural Treeman:
