Tzeeeentch does BM best. While Slaaaaanhors look ridiculous and dumb blue boy does it right. And they're much cheaper. They do the bird theme without looking dumb.
I expect we'll see Minos in all 4 rosters. That's the nature of Monos. 1/3 DoC, BM, and WoC respectively.
I have had a bit of a fascination with the colour teal lately though.

As a concept I find Slaangors to be one of the most interesting, coolest chaos unit ever. Tis a shame what GW did to them on TT
Thats not a Minotaur, thats an Ogroid, its different.
could be a pic of my grandmother, its still horrible, regardless of the name or what it is.
It makes sense for the lord of change; lots of crazy mutations.
what crazy mutations? that looks like a strange minotaur with an hunchback and tight leather pants to show of for instagram. No crazy mutations there.
its closer to an ogre. Its mutated a tail, horns, hooves and weird tatooes.
ok, its an ogre mutated to look like a strange minotaur. Ok, i'll give you that. the rest of my comment remains. its a bull like figure with an hunchback and what can only be considered as a terrible terrible terrible lower half design and colour scheme it should go back to the drawing board or stay within AoS.
Be prepared for stuff like it for The Old World, the superior version of Fantasy.
yeah as if i would take such a bait. If you think its superior, go play it or ask CA to do a TW:TOW. Bye.
So defensive!
Nah, you showed your hand. You're a closet AoS fanboy. Just admit you want an AoS game and that you are **** that this TW game is set in WHFB. You'll feel better about yourself and maybe you can stop pushing and gathering minions to push for AOS content in this game.
Didnt really went into the offensive but at least i've given you something to work with, didnt want to leave you craving for more.
I love AoS and I played WHFB, nothing wrong with liking something. Most of the people on these forums never even played WHFB or buy miniatures. With that being said though, the Ogroids belong in AoS.

Doombulls with the Mark of Tzeentch aren’t AoS exclusive.
They’ve been around for decades. They didn’t have a proper model, but the concept was even described with rules as Red Dox has already showed in this post.
You are the true king of the elves, Malekith. You are the son of Aenarion, champion of the Daemon War, heir to the Phoenix Crown. It is your right by deed, merit and birth and I would give my life to see that ancient wrong reversed and your rightful position restored. As an elf I can think of no higher calling.

Of course. Mino Sorcerer? Good option.
That specific model is AoS exclusive. It's not an option for WHFB.

Hrrrmn. I'm not sure that Tzaanbull Sorcerers are really all that backed up. Keep in mind that in the 6E context, the Mark of Tzeentch on any character model made them a sorcerer, which is clearly not the case in later editions. Tzaanbull Sorcerers might just be an artifact of old rules rather than something that either GW or CA feels bound to keep.
Or, well, they might well be included as a means of implementing the concept of the Ogroid Thaumaturge without technically drawing from AoS. We'll see in time

What's the difference? You just mean that CA should make its own model and not the AoS one.

I mean CA can't use that specific model. Or any AoS model.
If we see one it'll be CA design. It's a niche point.

Very creative, its a khorne daemon but in blue! I really hope its true they wont use any AOS units, Im concerned they will do it for slaanesh because he doesnt have many unique daemons
DOnt get me wrong the updated old daemon models look great in AOS but the new units do not!
If they give each god some BM, bray shamans aren't a good idea. The main thing is they are shaman, not BM. Tzeench will get plenty of caster hero/lords options it doesn't need specifically a shaman. At least the minotaur is intriguing, it would bring an hybrid quality.
Then remain normal Tzeengors, but besides ward saves, not sure what they would have. (and I don't expect a complex redesign of units included to avoid a large modelling costs. If ully expect Tzeench daemons to be the most work intensive* for CA, so the rest of it's roster will have to be a bit reasonable.
*unless they go full nut on Slaaneshi animations, which any dark Prince fan would obviously want.

They aren't using AoS, I think the updated AoS concepts look great though.
As has been mentioned before, that's an Ogroid Thaumaturge, who's a Tzeentch worshipper but he isn't Beastman. And someone incorrectly called him a mutated Ogre, which isn't true, the Ogroids are their own race (they probably should have thought up of a more distinctive name, I know). If I remember correctly, they were a 'Destruction' race who picked a fight with Gorkamorka, got their arses kicked and had to run crying to Chaos to not be genocided by the angry two-headed boy.
Also, I get the feeling each of the monogods will get only one Beastman 'type' in their rosters. So Khorne get minotaurs for the big, beefy (pardon the pun) monstrous infantry archetype, while Tzeentch will get Tzaangors, who have distinctive appearances, new models and would probably fit in as perhaps a mid-tier infantry role, stronger than cultists/marauder types, but not as strong as Tzeentch Chosen (who I assume would be magical/would deal magical damage). Slaangors in their latest incarnation are halfway between Gors and Minotaurs in size, so would make sense as a more swifter monstrous infantry type for Slaanesh. For Nurgle, Pestigors could be chaff, above plague zombies (if that's what their cheapest infantry unit will be) but below Nurglite warriors/Blight Kings. Hell, I could even see them not get a Beastman unit and get something like Bile Trolls instead.
