That Khorne Hero is just amazing. Stunning. Fantastic!

The marauder horsemen look great as well - I like the corrupted steads!

I can't wait for more pics! Got to resist starting my pile of Warriors stuff...ach! Weren't ogres and giants omitted from the WD list? Glad its still possible to have them!

This is the basic rundown of what is in the new list.

Marks of Chaos
- no more Mark of Chaos Undivided, though the entire army may get the rule where they get to re-roll failed psychology tests (which was the effect of the old Undivided Mark).
- generally Marks appear to be getting cheaper and the effect of the same Mark varies more depending on which unit it is given to. So the Mark of Khorne might do very different things on a Chaos Lord compared to what it does on a Chaos Warrior or a Spawn.

Chaos Rewards
There is apparently a table of chaos rewards that characters and units can get to roll on before or during the game. For example Chosen units supposedly start with a roll on this table, while characters supposedly get to roll on it after killing enemies in challenges. It is unknow what the results are.


Lords

Chaos Lord

Exalted Sorcerer

Daemon Prince


Heroes

Exalted Champion

Aspiring Champion

Sorcerer

Some sort of Forsaken-esque character
-pretty much no armour, but S5 and T5
-high number of attacks


Core units
- there was supposedly a rumoured cultist unit, but that appears to have been incorrect, or possibly mistaken for something else

Chaos Warriors
- presumably the boxed set stays the same for the moment
- all units get Chaos armour, not just Chosen
- normal Warriors get 2 Attacks (but are still "only" WS5)
- 15 points each
- presumably all units can get a magic standard

Chosen
- supposedly a separate entry
- start the game with a roll on the chaos rewards table (sort of like Possessed in 40K)
- unknown which other improvements they get over the new improved Warriors
- new set of metal models

Marauders
- presumably the boxed set stays the same for the moment
- cheaper??
- still no option for Marks

Warhounds
- new plastic boxed set of 10 models

Marauder Horsemen
- new plastic set of 5 models


Special units

Chaos Knights
- new plastic boxed set of 5 models
- cheaper in the temporary list, unknown price in the book
- might get option for lances and/or other options
- there is no longer any Chosen knights, though normal knights get nastier

Chaos Chariot
- new plastic boxed set at some point
- cheaper in the temporary list, unknown price in the book
- 2 per Special in the temporary list, unknown in the book

Forsaken
- very little known, but apparently a unit of Chaos Warriors that are on their way to getting a bit too many mutations for their own good
- supposedly somewhat spawnlike, though unknown exactly what that means
- frenzied
- high movement

Chaos Ogres

Chaos Trolls
-for every two(?) wounds they regenerate they get a roll on the chaos rewards table

Dragon Ogres

Chaos War Altar


Rare units

Chaos Giant

Hellcannon
- can't get daemonic gifts
- rumoured to be only 1 Rare choice

Spawn
- presumably still 2 per Rare
- Marks are rumoured to have altered effects. Possibilities:
--Mark of Tzeentch: 6+ Ward save
--Mark of Khorne: Hatred
--Mark of Nurgle: Poisoned attacks
--Mark of Slaneesh: Always Strike First

Shaggoth



Special characters

Archaon

Galrauch

some kind of khornate Daemon Prince

a Shaggoth special character

some kind of Slaanesh guy

Wolfric the Wanderer
-has something called the Seafang, possibly a weapon mentioned in the Liber Chaotica books

The Troll King
- gives a benefit to monstrous units


Stuff NOT in the new book
-cultists
-mammoth
-any sort of skirmishing unit
-any sort of flying unit
