They don't have a role in this game. Tzeentch is already pretty darn strong, giving him a cheap chaff unit for even easier magic nuking is not required.

For gameplay reasons? No, no point. Blue horrors are cheap and expendable, so they have no purpose. However, if they come with fun animations like Nurglings, I'd enjoy them.

First of all, the free units are obviously the Nan-Gau Grenadiers and Gnoblar Flingers mentioned last time.

Second, absolutely they should be in.

Still salty about the Changebringers are we?

Its not a question of how strong the faction is. Its a missing part of their Daemonic roster.

I doubt that we will get them precisely because they are TOW-related. Theoretically, there is no reason to keep them away from TW:WH, because they also exist in 40k and AoS. I would greatly like to see them. Little flamelings living out their spiteful existence.

Brimstone Horrors absolute yes. I hope their projectile attack will be a low ammo short ranged explosion like the Miners with Blasting Charges. That's a projectile type still missing for Tzeentch. And they would look marvelous.

This is just the thread for horrible ideas, huh?

Hell no. Brimstone horrors is your typical AoS garbage.

Tzeentch as a separate faction didn't even exist in WHFB, so you can't say they're missing anything.

Since they are a Daemonic unit and because such units exists retroactively across all of the Warhammer franchise, they are by definition missing them, regardless if they had separate books or not.

Brimstone Horrors only make sense if Horrors had their splitting gimmick as Brimstone Horrors are nothing more than a parting shot. They don't, so what's the point?

Pink Horrors are supposed to split in to Blues and we have them just fine.

As Daemons, they are by definition Fantasy material as well.

Sure I'd take them at some point. They likely wouldn't be flc with how CA have been doing them (just weapon variants), but a tier 0 unit of 160 of them with each model being two brimstone horrors would be fun. For balance reasons I'd give them like 1 ammo, and really poor melee stats, so they get one volley off and then just soak damage.

Not saying you are wrong, genuine question for elaboration on this point, so I never had Demons of Chaos army book back in the day, only got it recently, Tzeentch is a seperate section in this book like the other chaos factions in 8e, so for my benefit, can you explain a bit more how they are not a separate faction?

Yeah, I might deign to tell you the moment you stop abusing run-on sentences like that.

Less commas, more periods.

Ok

Tzeentch is a separate section in the army book in 8E.

So or my benefit, can you explain how they are not a separate faction.

Apologies, I probably use commas a mix of change in context, instead of brackets and a supplement to a prose point.

Doesn't make Tzeentch their own full-fledged army, just like Clan Skryre isn't an army of their own just because they have a chapter for themselves in the Skaven armybook.
Don't tell me you can't work out how these things are supposed to function.

Well, that isn't how those books are structured. There is no clan skryre chapter, nor are the units specified to the clan.

So now I think you are just looking for an argument, as opposed to actually having read these and have any insight to offer.

Ding, ding, ding!
