Friendly asking to the DLC Team to not go full cheap recolors with the Tzaangors, Pestigors, Slaangors etc. etc. but also the future generic Lords and Heroes.
Please, do not make the same thing (aka recolors and copy/pasted WoC helmets) you did with the Marauders of Khorne/Tzeentch/Nurgle. . . or like the Spawns and Forsaken.

Make them unique models. New looks. Not something ease pease like how you made the Sorcerer Lords and the Chosen, with only new helmets and weapons on common WoC undivided chosen bodies.

Not asking for new animations tho, but make the DLC worth the price-increase.

Thanks.

Bog agrees.

Tzeentch will get a single new unit and a few cheap recolours/reskins

Passthechips#4366

I wouldn’t doubt CA pulling a head, armor, and small leg swap to make Tzaangors happen. Which I mean would be pretty close to the actual thing, but wouldn’t be a brand new model.

They have official models, so we have no reason to believe they won't use them.

for minos too

Marked Chaos Marauders look so damn goofy for an official model. Like they couldn't get the intern to do it because he was busy with the RoR so they got a random hobo from the street to do it for a slice of pizza.

Don't go cheap with any other Chaos units actually. The marked Lords of Chaos are still stuck with 7 years old boring animations because CA went cheap with them and I hate it.

That's not a mino, that's a conversion of an Ogroid Thaumaturge.

Which aren't even BM but a completely separate race.

You will buy the recolored version and you will be happy

The Marked Lords also have official miniatures, some more than one in fact, and we know what happened. It's better to be cautious.

Fluffernutter#3823

I'm not sure the DLC team gets any say in how large their budget is or how long they can spend working on the DLC.

Here I am, now awaiting cautiously.

TBF I don't HATE the Marked Nurgle and Tzeentch Marauders tbh, yet they could also definitely be better. But fact is they're units that never existed in the TT officially but always has in lore and fan creations and various other adaptations putting them in a strange middle ground


Khorne's marauders on the other hand...are infuriating. That they took an elite infantry from Norsca and recoloured them into a unit that's a thousand times weaker is just so jarring

I was looking for this comment.

If they actually went with the mutated look they are supposed to have it would be amazing.

Make it happen CA!

It's wild how good some of the Bloodbowl models are.

I would prefer Bow Tzaaangors though. And a slight redesign of the Slaaangor to emphasise Slaaanesh's design cues more.

imnrk#3524

Asking CA not to go cheap with something like that is like asking a brick wall not to stand still.

Not going to happen. When something completely new comes along and they have to make it from scratch they will, but any and all existing assets can and will be used.

Pocman#6295

Imho, this is the way to follow: very noticeable mutations, like the extra eyes, the crown of horns, the tongue, but at the same time, keeping that bestial beastmen feel while also not flanderisingTzeentch into "bird parts only".

I agree but fear CA will only paint them blue and give them the bird head of the demon prince of tzeentch.
If we are "lucky" they get new weapon modell but I guess that would again just be reused assets.

I think they gonna remake some effort but not expect extensive from scratch things

Farstead___________#2392

I don;t really get the problem with reusing assets. As long as it's done well, slight changes can be enough to create units that look new. And reusing assets makes it possible to create more content using less resources. And I like more content.

It should be done better than the marauders though.

There's no problem with it. People just use it as an excuse to criticise CA for the sake of it.
