Admiral:

Apologies if this has already been covered here. Looks good to my eyes:

Damn you GW I don’t want to sell my kidneys! :mad

Dînadan:

Just seen on FB that tomorrow GW are releasing a new Battletome for AoS called ‘Disviples of Tzeentch’. Could this pic have something to do with it?

Malorndk:

Rather cool actually. The bird thing with tzeentch has a lot of potential

Carcearion:

Ehh… I dunno to be honest. I love Tzeentch, I love Beastmen, I like Tzeentchian Beastmen… but a 40k Tzeentch Beastmen Army? maybe as a cultist army, that would be cool, but other wise this just feels… bleh wrong some how. Its just a weird fit for 40k.

Grimstonefire:

I thought it was really strange bringing in tzaangors for 40k… But I’m really happy about this for Aos!!

Grimstonefire
Tzaangors have been a part of 40k since Rogue Trader; they were in the original Thousand Sons list in Realm of Chaos. They're a bit like Genestealer Cults and fell into fluff over time and now are coming back.

This isn't for 40K.

Oh that�?Ts good news! I thought I had read that the Tzaangor where appearing in the new Thousands Sons supplement, and then this made me think they were going to go on to have a spin off codex. Well I have to say I like the idea of getting some new Cult Beastmen, but unfortunately KoW doesn�?Tt support it�?� also these guys look a little too�?�. Age of Sigmary to fit in next to normal Beastmen models, although I�?Tm sure kit bashing them with classic Gors could produce the desired effect. Also to be honest I�?Tve become a little Cult�?Ted out lately, they have been aggressively phasing out Chaos Undivided and it has left a sour taste in my mouth.

I must say though I�?Tm glad Tzeentch has finally been getting some love this last year or so, although I wish they had decided to go with a more crazy mutated flesh look (like the old demon fetus Horrors of Tzeentch that I love) and less bird (bird is cool, but I want roiling liquid flesh awash with eyes and teeth).

Dînadan:

KoW is pretty flexible - no reason you can’t use these minis with the rules for Orcs or Abyssals :wink:

Carcearion:

Hmmm… yeah since The Herd is a neutral army finding something to apporximate them should be very doable or even just tossing them an Artifact to increase their defensiveness like Stealth might feel pretty decent (I certainly suffer against shooting).

After taking a close look on some bit-seller sites, I must say I really love the weapons these guys have, very exotic.
