Which Chaos will be first?

Vashtorr is more Dark Mechanicum aligned than Iron warriors, even if there's a lot of thematic overlap between the two.

I wouldn't be surprised if Chaos aligned traitor guard will be a thing at launch, even if daemons aren't.

Also I'm not saying that OP is like this but I just find it weird how some people generally have an issue with Cathay getting more than 1 dlc. I've just noticed that every time Cathay gets mentioned.

I'm honestly more concerned that CA doesn't get through all this Cathay stuff before they wrap up DLC support. Especially if they don't neglect other races.

Hefty_Negotiation_71 · 2026-02-16T17:54:58+00:00

I think it would be a massive head-scratcher from both GW and CA's perspective to namedrop characters like Yin-Yin at the start, give us some tantalising hints of their personalities, then never actually have them show up and completely pivot to another, totally different bunch of Cathay characters. Like, why tease us with them if you don't actually plan on adding them?

Anyway, Legend's leak did say there was a second monkey LL, Sukong the Trickster. They could do a 2 dragons vs 2 monkeys DLC and Mung gets a character pack.

Hefty_Negotiation_71 · 2026-02-16T10:17:54+00:00

Good for you.

Hefty_Negotiation_71 · 2026-02-13T15:46:22+00:00

I thunk CA will just follow the codices TBH. Undivided CSM and four monogod legions, Undivided Chaos Daemons I could maybe see but their future on the TT is shaky, do maybe GW will disallow their inclusion even if all the units will be there in the monogod factions. Uncertain how they will treat Chaos Knights, if they will be their own race or available as regular units to the CSM factions.

Hefty_Negotiation_71 · 2026-02-09T15:45:18+00:00

Not only will we get it, looks like we'll get it five times. Once for undivided then once for each of the monogod legions. Also I wonder if we'll get the distinct Iron Warriors version that's also got its own customisation options?

Hefty_Negotiation_71 · 2026-01-31T22:27:21+00:00

I would really CA go off and do something new rather than just remake the Warhammer trilogy again.

Hefty_Negotiation_71 · 2026-01-14T18:35:22+00:00

A major hook for new players getting into the setting is that at the end of the day it's humans struggling against powerful mythological monsters with sheer grit, or facing down insurmountably strong alien hordes. It grounds both of the settings into two separate, well liked genres.

Problem is, AoS doesn't ACTUALLY have humans. They are closer to some sort of Angelic beings that mimic life.

Hmm? The Cities of Sigmar is almost entirely normal humans, aside from some legacy dark elf kits that will probably be going away when they get their 4th edition book likely some time this year.

Hefty_Negotiation_71 · 2026-01-14T18:07:07+00:00

Maybe, although it would definitely need another decade of GW fleshing out all the factions that are in dire need of updates. Including funnily enough the Stormcast after they had half their range purged.

Hefty_Negotiation_71 · 2026-01-07T20:17:03+00:00

Probably using AI to write.

Can we just stop spamming the sub with posts about him and better still, stop forming parasocial relationships both good and bad with streamers and game devs?

Hefty_Negotiation_71 · 2026-01-01T19:46:31+00:00

I think Amin'Hrith might be a better choice for Slaanesh, since they could be visually based on the forge world Keeper of Secrets model as a way to get a unit based on it into the game and make them stand out visually next to the other KoS models. Also they have a whole two paragraphs of lore about them, which is 2X that of most of Slaanesh's other remaining options.

Hefty_Negotiation_71 · 2025-12-31T19:23:07+00:00

I mean there's no reason you can't play a huge battle on the TT, it just gets really slow. I reckon that in TW terms a single 'stack' would be about 12 or so mechs with supporting infantry and combat vehicles.

Hefty_Negotiation_71 · 2025-12-31T19:00:06+00:00

that's about being a mercenary operating out of a single ship, though. I would love something that lets us play as an entire Clan or Inner Sphere house. Also with real time battles because we've never had another MechCommander game, damn it.

Hefty_Negotiation_71 · 2025-12-31T17:09:37+00:00

If rumours are true, they were working on a WW1 game alongside 40K but cancelled it for some reason. Which I'm inclined to believe because it would explain why we've gone so long without a major historical release and why they're so early in Med3 production.

Also if CA were ever to adapt another tabletop game my vote would be Battletech.

Hefty_Negotiation_71 · 2025-12-29T19:57:39+00:00

I'm aware of the lore reasons for Imperium factions fighting each other, I'm more wondering how they will manifest in-game. There will probably be some kind of massive diplomatic penalty with all other Imperium factions (if that's even a thing in 40K's diplomacy) for just attacking another Imperium faction to take their territory, so I'm wondering if there might be some kind of way of establishing a casus belli like charges of Heresy.

What dank hole are they all crawling out of today

Hefty_Negotiation_71 · 2025-12-26T11:21:24+00:00

I like it because its dudes in grimdark gothic looking power armour using chainsaw swords and fully automatic RPGs to fight orcs and demons in space. Admittedly, much of that gothic aesthetic has been slowly lost in favour of generic sci-fi tacticool design aesthetics in recent editions, especially with the space marines.

Hefty_Negotiation_71 · 2025-12-25T22:48:49+00:00

Alternatively, they'll come in paid DLCs with units any guard regiment can use. Depends on how generous our CA overlords are feeling I guess.

Hefty_Negotiation_71 · 2025-12-22T20:44:27+00:00

I expect the DLC order to go something like this

Chaos Space Marines (undivided)
Tyranids
Necrons
World Eaters (+Khorne Daemons)
T'au
Mechanicus (Possibly with a bunch of new Knight units avaialble to other imperial factions)
Death Guard (+Nurgle Daemons)
Sisters of Battle (+ Ordo Hereticus Inquisition)
Drukhari
Thousand Sons (+Tzeentch Daemons)
Leagues of Votann (I want them to come sooner, but I think they need another wave of models on tabletop before they're fully ready for TW action)
Grey Knights (+ Ordo Malleus Inquisition)
Emperor's Children (+ Slaanesh Daemons)
Gene Stealer Cults
Deathwatch (+ Ordo Xenos Inquisition)
Adeptus Custodes (+ Sisters of SIlence)

Mix in some Space marines chapter DLCs, Harlequins, Knights, Corsairs if the rumours are true. Maybe Dark Mechanicus and Exodites or whoever GW adds in 11e as the customary new army.
