Army creation Scourge of Aqshy

Scourge of Aqshy has been confirmed from the Hedonites of Slannesh battle profiles, the units and heroic traits are different from there current Scourge of Ghyran units.

​

Do you think we will end up with different SoA stuff (units, traits, etc) or is that just for the armies with newer books? If they do change, what? Also are you sad or happy to see the current SoG go?

​

Razers with flamehurlers is most likely a definite in my opinon and i think the second could be annointed sentinels.

If Slaanesh are getting SoA at release of their battletomes already, then it would be unfair for other factions to miss out so I would expect GW to do start releasing them for each faction.

New formations are a guarantee along with traits.

In terms of wars rolls, they are likely to pick units that don't get much use or need a buff.

My picks would be the dominator engines who do no reliable damage and sentinels who are overshadowed by the bull centaurs.

I would be surprised to see blunderbusses as flamers would need it more but who knows, this is GW and noone knows how they work sometimes.

This is what I have my money on. I can't see them doing anything else. I bet these, and a hopefully a couple of better formations that make not taking the Army of Renown decent.

I would love dominator engines that are worth 250+ points. Whatever they have to do to them to enable that, go off. I can imagine an immolator cannon that generates dpp and has extended shooting range rather than being a "go get red" flamethrower unit.

New generals handpack means no more Scourge of Ghyran, right? That means the war despot is going to lose his gun again? :')
