AoS NEW *rumor*

Where did you find this out?

archaon is revealed to be searching for slaanesh too in wrath of the everchosen

he actually found it and is fighting the elves of hysh
also the new chaos warriors sculpts are full of severed elven heads and the lumineth models previewed so far have all the hallmarks of being ETB too

I'm not a betting man, but I'd put down money on the start collecting box and the first lumineth previews having been intended first as the content of a new battlebox and then something happened with the release schedule which pushed the warriors to be released earlier

A well-reasoned prediction.

Of course it's not guaranteed yet, but we'll see!

And with the release of Slaanesh, a new epidemic of STDs flooded the mortal realms
 
I would love it so much if our story contribution is basically, archaon and his forces are about to free slaneesh, and down come the lizardmen to lay the primordial smack down. And then we defeat them and then just teleport away without saying anything, leaving a stunned Teclis behind.

it would mirror the old world where we basically already did that before, saving the elves over and over again.

With how much of a mcguffin Archaeon is I'd love that, but being said Mcguffin it probably won't sadly
 
Update to fuel the speculation, In the US all three versions of the BT have been removed from the GW site... not just a "no longer available" banner, which was previously only on the hardcopy, not the mobile and tablet versions. I only noticed because we have had 30 options under the side bar for so long that when it said 27 I was like "oh shit"

McGuffin powered by Anime and Edge.

He is getting a minor slap on the wrist in the Wrath of the Everchosen I think. So it'd be funny to have it suddenly become a three-way, with a bunch of lizards appearing out of nowhere to beat down skeletons and Chaos Warriors..

I'd die of laughter if we had rules that showed how we give the skaven PTSD. Absolutely debilitating debuffs on clanrats and plaguemonks. Skaven casters start sniffing so much warp dust their heads explode. Even rat ogres and stormvermin piss themselves at the sight of us.

dropping the stars on them?

though I wouldn't count on writers to care about the lizardmen, they never did and have plenty of other major 'players' to wank fluffwise.
a funny thing, though, is that one way or another, lizardmen lore always finds a way.

probably even without writers being aware of doing it, AoS so far has connected a few times with old inconsistencies and unresolved plotlines of lizardmen lore, one of the best involves the skaven:
at one point the skaven captured thanquol and were about to sacrifice him, but on direct orders of a slann he was not killed but instead released; the slann predicted that thanquol would bring more ruin to the skaven than it would to the lizardmen.
fast-forward a few years, during the disaster of the end times, the skaven are preparing to teleport their whole capital away from the planet, sure to reach whatever destination they would find in numbers great enough to dominate, thanquol being among them.
one could think thanquol did great harm to the lizardmen through its actions in the end times and none to the skaven.
except not.
the skaven battletome revealed that skavenblight reached the mortal realms not as a metropolis full of skaven ready to invade but a lifeless husk of debris and warsptone; the skaven race managed to arrive to the realms only thanks to their own god hand-picking a few of them from whatever disaster befell skavenblight directly to the realms.
the nature of the disaster isn't explored in the book, but one thing was hinted:
thanquol may have caused it.

so I'm not worried about the fluff: we will keep being irrelevant and we will keep having vague enough fluff that everything can be written to have sense one way or another.
staying at the sidelines is funnier than getting trashed in the rollercoaster that is trying to stay in the spotlight without all the drama of having to job to chaos.

I think it's somehow cooler being on the sidelines, but still always somehow having a whole lot of influence on the grand scheme of things.
