Why Tamurkhan for Thrones of dec(L)ay ?

[Telaka]

Wonder why almost everyone/or majority of content creators are pushing Tamurkha vs elsepth vs insert dwarf LL here ?

Is there some legit leak or simply people are on Tamurkhan-pipes-dream-train ?

Based on what ? just because zanbaijin is in the game ? did I miss anything else ?

Because if ppl just base this of mere existence of zanbaijin might as well said that Sisters of sigmar are coming cuz of Mordheim in the game.

Tamurkhan was the main character of the Thrones of Chaos book, and Nuln and Elspeth were also involved in Thrones of Chaos. Thrones of Chaos book about a Nurgle Character, with the Empire involved - Thrones of Decay DLC with a Nurgle character vs the Empire... Not hard to see where the speculation comes from.

Also in a relatively recent interview with Andy Hall he was straight up asked about Tamurkhan and pretty much said it was going to be him without outright saying yes. So yeah, it's going to be him.

Who else could it be, anyway?

It was quite a bit more explicit, I recall. A dev was asked in an interview about whether Tamurkhan will be in the game (I think the questioner said something like "a maggot who goes around possessing its host"), and he said something like "we will have something like that." I am sure people can find links to that interview, as it was plastered around everywhere.

Yeah, I think this was the interview that I see linked everywhere.

Empire and nurgle in ome dlc which will never happen again IS alrdy the biggest hint.
In the interview the interviewer asked if a certain maggot lord will come (not precisely asked on behalf of the dlc as I got it) and the interviewed said if the interviewer would like it then he (the maggot lord) will come

Also because the DLC is called Thrones of Decay. The Warhammer novel that introduces Tamurkhan is called Throne of Chaos. There's a pretty good hint there.

Because the Kurgan is the force invading the northern part of Cathay.
Tamurkhan represents the further opening up of blank areas onCathay Pacific further north.
