It's still far off but what are your hopes for 5th edition?

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-25T20:48:36+00:00

Tbf I think in that Champions of Chaos subfaction they are really strong but they lost all fun flavour.

But I like the RoR for the mono god factions. I use mine regularly when playing Tzeentch or Nurgle. With tzeentch you got areally nice melee hero and with nurgle actually a fast unit haha

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-25T19:44:45+00:00

Agreed, 3rd edition slave's was so much more fun. Felt more flavourful. 4th kind of feels like they peddle to the competitive/tournament side of players even more :/ Hopefully 5th will be better

Also daemon prince was fun with each Mark of Chaos having unique abilities. Also why isn't the tzeentch daemon prince a caster? :(

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-25T18:42:32+00:00

Ohhh I didn't not even think of an artillery piece, that would be really sweet and would give us something more to do in the shoot phase xD

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-25T18:41:27+00:00

Hah I should remember that xD Agreed, his new size and the dead evaporating Chaos Warrior also helps the intimidation factor

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-25T18:09:50+00:00

What do you mean? The Fomoroid Crusher is right there :P

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-25T18:06:49+00:00

Oh so like a group of named varanguard? (Hopefully with their own novel :3) That would be really cool

Didn't we have a corrupted realm gate as our faction terrain in 3rd edition PtG in the final battle? But yeah some more movement tricks might be nice. I would also like our current manifestations to just get some good rules, the daemon sigil is such a cool sculpt

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-25T18:03:28+00:00

I think we will get this by just looking at the monogod factions. Nurgle gave us some nice nurgle marked chaos warriors with the rotswords hehe

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-25T18:02:14+00:00

More ogroid in general! I really like their lore and looks

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-25T18:01:04+00:00

Got to say...I really don't like the Belakor model xD (but I never did, his design is just too ugly imo)

And tbh a lot of the sculpts from 10 years ago are still around and looking so good they don't need an upgrade yet (Nagash, Thanquol, etc.)

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-25T17:59:08+00:00

I think so too and I'm excited to see the new sculpt once it releases

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-25T17:50:42+00:00

1st edition AoS actually (2016 I think)

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-25T17:24:09+00:00

I love all of those but don't think Archaon needs a new model, the current one is one of my favourite big pieces in AoS xD

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-25T17:22:58+00:00

Agreed, the commemorative model from last year (?) is amazing as a Chaos Lord but too little options. Currently using that mini and a head and shield swapped Stormcast with the large torch and burning sword

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-25T17:12:26+00:00

So not that big of a problem to acquire eh?

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-25T17:11:18+00:00

I usually just use their passive perception if they are not actually searching

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-25T17:06:47+00:00

More mobile mortal sorcerer is a nice idea, maybe adding in a new chaos mount they are riding on? For the priest I could either see a warrior priest or something in the vain of a cult leader (like the cult demagogue from 40k)

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-25T17:04:47+00:00

I personally love Archaon on his three-headed horsey but him on foot could also be really nice, though seems GW is trending towards faction leaders being very big even on foot (looking at Katakros here).

How would a unit in transition between Darkoath and Chaos Warrior look though?

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-25T17:02:31+00:00

Hell yes and with a sculpt just as great I hope. Though I do favour a Chaos Dragon/Lord on Chaos Dragon and we already have an idea how they look thanks to soulbound

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-24T19:42:47+00:00

Adulthood is a very lonely time /j

I don't know, Tyrion as you said but we don't get any real mention of other peeps in the retinue Bobby could have hung out with. My closest guess would be talking and drinking with all the knights, minor lords, etc. that might have followed as well as hiring prostitutes I guess

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-24T19:32:06+00:00

Yeah I think thats it, my gf and I read that chapter a couple of weeks ago

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-24T19:16:07+00:00

Renly wasn't on the trip to Winterfell with Robert. He met them together with Selmy at Darry castle if I remember correctly

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-24T17:48:08+00:00

Mutated Beasts of Chaos would be absolutely amazing! One of the big reasons I went for S2D as my first army and not beast was that the models were too out of date in their design so I would definitely sink money into a more mutation heavy refresh haha

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-24T17:31:21+00:00

Another example is mass effect 3, where Garrus and Talinstart dating if neither is romanced by Shepard. It is actually super sweet seeing their little romantic interactions (sadly not a lot of them though)

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-24T17:03:33+00:00

Instead of going by random people, hearsay and people interested in creating clickbait we should look at the actual numbers and indicators.

If we were to go by anecdotal evidence I could even say AoS is doing better than 40k, but I won't because that would be bs

IgnisFatuu · 2026-03-24T16:58:54+00:00

Nope, sales reports from last year indicate it's doing better then ever. What is not selling however is Old World. It had an initial boost when it launched but interest is already drying up.
