Which two other factions would you like to see in?

[nyanko]

I personally would like to see the Soulblight Gravelords and the Slaves to Darkness.

As it would make the game have all 4 affinities: order, destruction, chaos and death.

What do you think will be in?

[astgdzfgdsg]

I think it would be the 999 IQ move to do Skaven, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be Tzeentch for chaos faction, there was an image leaked that showed a tzeentch unit (small chance it may have been a world boss from the campaign.)

Soulblight grave lords seems likely for death just b/c they have by far the most minis to base units on, but night haunt would be cool cause the spooky bois would be fun to play with.

Skaven and Aelves are definitely coming later if they are planning any kind of faction DLC.

[SBA77]

Haven't they already said the other two base game factions are going to be a Chaos one and an undead one. I'm all for speculation and requesting factions, but it seems kind of pointless here when kind of know what's coming.

But then again one Chaos faction and one Undead faction is kind of vague when it comes to AoS so I guess you can somewhat speculate.

Anyway your choices are: Slaves of Darkness, Beasts of Chaos, Blades of Khorne, Disciples of Tzeentch, Hedonites of Slaanesh, Maggotkin of Nurgle, Flesh-Eater Courts,Nighthaunt, Ossiarch Bonereapers, and Soulblight Gravelords.

Actually looking at it that is a quite a lot to choose from even if you are picking two of them.

any 2 of these

Soulblight Gravelords, Slaves to Darkness, Lumineth, Cities of Sigmar, Nighthaunt, Skaven, Kharadron.

Would not be a fan if these were given priority (i would like them sometime later)

Beasts, Maggotkin, Ogor, Flesh-eater, Gloomspite, Bonereapers.

I'd love to see Cities of Sigmar and Seraphon as DLC. Actually the tricky part with Cities of Sigmar is that they have so many sub-armies, what are they going to include? Just the old Empire units or are they going all to include the subfactions like Order Serpentis, Order Draconis, the Dispossessed and the Collegiate Arcane?

I wouldn't worry about Ogors, they aren't a Chaos or undead faction, so that means the other two won't be them. Though I kind of feel the Chaos faction is goingto Slaves to Darkness since they are Undivided. The monogod armies will probably be DLC.

The great horned rat ascended to the chaos pantheon in AoS so Skaven can actually represent the Chaos faction in this game.

It's not a matter of can they represent Chaos but whether GW and Frontier will pick them to represent Chaos. The plus in their column is that they are very popular, the minus is that people who love the oldschool chaos stuff would mald.

It's kind of moot anyway as the leak strongly suggests Tzeentch.

Well I suppose they are now, but when I think of Chaos Skaven isn't the first thing that comes to mind.

That's cool, I think Tzeentch is my favorite of the AoS Chaos faction, especially since he's got more bird stuff that he did in Fantasy and than he still does in 40k. But yeah I guess it was kind of moot ever since some one said the two missing races were going to be Chaos and undead.

I think the Disciples of Tzeentch are the best choice for the Chaos faction in this situation.

1. This is not Nurgle, Nurgle is everywhere, in almost every first Warhammer video game.
2. Disciples of Tzeentch have own Beastmen species — Tzaangors. This fits with the theme of Ghur and the Era of Beasts.
3. Tzaangors can attract the attention of 40k players who know that the Thousand Sons have Tzaangors too (although it was 40k that took their models from the Age of Sigmar).
4. Lots of Magic!
5. Flying units in large numbers: Tzaangor shamans and archers, sorcerers— all on disks. Screamers of Tzeentch. Maneuverable and high-speed army.

For the DEATH faction, I would choose the Ossiarch Bonerippers.

1. An army in the style of Giger or Beksinsky (if done all correctly).
2. A disciplined army with phalanxes of spearmen and cohorts of swordsmen.
3. Powerful cavalry.
4. Repair of fallen units.
5. Powerful artillery.

But the developers will have to create the ossiarch archers unit by themselves. Still they are not in the tabletop game, there is only one archer miniature in Underworlds warband.

Slaves to darkness are probably the best choice for chaos. I personally would love to see beastmen or skaven introduced

For death I'm guessing Nighthaunt again... which will be boring af. I'd rather see Soulblight Gravelords, and for wishful thinking - Flesh Eater Courts.

[Solaris]

skaven would be nice but i thiknk a chaos army is more iconic: so blade of khorn and a death army: Nighthaunt

Funny how the two you picked, are my two favorites our of the Chaos and undead bunch.
