New battletome: Daughters of Khaine

New Codexes, Models, Heroes and More - Breaking News from the Las Vegas Open -

Holy Moly these kits look phenomenal. Also, apparently they are all messed up, due to Slaanesh corruption, so I'm hoping we hear more about Slaanesh with this release.

They have not unveiled the shadow queen miniature yet, I can't wait to see it.

Wow you are not wrong Killersquid those models are fantastic. If you are going to make female models this is definitely the way to do it. The model with what looks like metal wings in particular is astounding.

They have not unveiled the shadow queen miniature yet, I can't wait to see it.

Is the Shadow Queen the model they only show you part of right at the end of the video do you think? Right after it says order the battletome it shows something large with a tail and wings.

Yeah, they show parts of her, but I want to see the whole model! It's going to be amazing!

I might have to stop working on Flesh eaters when these come out.

By 'messed up', I assume that you are referring to their mental state?  This would fit with the disorientating effects on the mind of many a form of corruption utilised by Slaanesh.

Physically mutated it sounds like from the video, and then they escaped slaanesh's influence.

That's not what I expected.  That could be interesting, depending on how the mutation has affected them.  I wonder if it's going to affect their appearance to make them a little more akin to Daemonettes.  The models do not necessarily suggest this though.

I'm going to guess that's why they are part snake and some have wings.

But, we'll need to wait for the battletome to find out

Holy. amphetamine parrot.

They keep dragging me closer to playing AoS. Seriously, if somebody I knew wanted to play, I'd be picking up these models the moment they were released.

Those look *incredibly* bad ass.

They look so metal.  Well done again GW.  8)

My friend is going to get these.  He’s been waiting for them since AoS started.

I wonder if being eaten and then regurgitated by Slaanesh did this to them?

Slaanesh has been depicted before as a winged serpent. Hence the snake-aelves and Morathi in the "form of her tormentor".
Looks like we may well see two Morathi models- the Aelf-Queen we see clearly and the hinted at serpent-tailed, bat-winged creature. Glamoured and unleashed...

Yeah, they look pretty good, ain't gonna lie.

Can't wait 'till we see the more serpentine form of Morathi.

Does anyone know what Morathi has been up too?  I’m keen to know what what the backstory here is.

There was some breif talk of her in the Age of Sigmar hardcover book. Not much is known though, as it's all been in the realm of shadow, which none have returned from.

The trailers and teasers over on WarhammerTV on youtube seems to indicate that she was in Slaanesh's possession for a while, before getting free (no mention how) and most likely going along with Sigmar's Pantheon at some point in the Age of Myth maybe. Then, at some point she hid up in the Realm of Shadows and is really resentful over being mistreated or looked down upon. This is based on her own lines, so I don't know if it's objective in any way.

The most significant change now is that she's the head of the Cult of Khaine it seems, a position Hellebron used to have before the Sundering. Khaine is also referred to as a dead god, so who knows how that works out. She's also called a demigod, I believe.
