Slambo Next, Please

[TheSilverRaven]

Thank you CA, for finally adding true wielder of the warhammer, Harry the Hammer to the game. While it does seem a bit underwhelming for such a mighty warrior to be a hero, there's at least precedent for that in characters like Lord Kroak and Ariel and it is nice to be able to have the most powerful chaos champion available to any Warriors of Chaos faction.

Please add Slambo next so we can play as the real everchosen instead of that failure who got kicked in the nads by Grimgor.

Isn't Slambo from AoS?

Slambo isn't the Everchosen we need, he's the Everchosen we deserve.

Slambo is a very old model. There is a modern version in AoS, but that's like saying Teclis is AoS because he's also got a version in it.

Oh. When I Googled him I couldn't find any pages about him on Warhammer wikis. The only thing I found other than pictures of his model was a wiki page on one of the AoS wikis. (Oh yeah and Reddit and forum posts asking for him to be added to TWW. Can't forget about those).

No need for Slambo, when you have Archaon.
There is ever only one Everchosen.

And the one we currently have is a joke, thus the need for Slambo.

"Origins
So where did Slambo originate from? Slambo comes from the early days of Games Workshop. First appearing in the Citadel Journal Spring 1987 catalog he was part of a set of Chaos Warriors that Games Workshop actually worked up names for"

Because name was so ridiculous he became an inside joke for Warhammer fans/a meme before meme was the word. The AoS model/rules release was essentially just fan service. Over years he's become a sort of self insert too, or to put more aptly a "I reject your reality and substitute my own" for chaos fans who dislike an actual named character.

Until AoS release, Slambo had no unique or special rules, and was not a "named character" nor in lore beyond fact long ago there was a chaos warrior called Slambo, rest is myth lol
