Slaanesh related hero for CSM. Maybe a corupted Sister of Battle or something like that. Would be sexy.

Already being worked upon. Proposed release is 2.3.2.
The internal battery has run dry, the game can now be played. However, clock based events will no longer occur.

Just read the forums/watch the streams, this is how I get my news, I'm not in the loop at all, I just perk up my ears when something important is said.

Adepta Sororitas are 100% incorruptable. It would be as obscenely against 40K fluff as a Possessed Grey Knight.

Adepta Soroitas are the Sisters of Battle, Grey Knights are still Adeptus Astartes.

While she's the only one (if you ignore those ones from Ciaphas Cain because they were brainwashed), her existence suggests it's possible for the Sororitas to fall. Also her article mentions her warband has 'fallen Battle-Sisters', which suggests maybe there are others.

She is a BL character from a short story that's about as canon as anything I'd make up and type here.. Any Sisters codex ever released has always retained that no Sister has ever fallen to Chaos.

Keep in mind that most is written from the Imperium's PoV. Something that has bothered me a lot in the Codices :/
No sister has fallen according to official Imperial records. That doesn't mean it hasn't happened. The 40K universe is a big place.
You can do with your personal fluff whatever you want ;)

The suggested 4th Chaos commander was not a sister, don't worry ^^

I think the SM should receive a new hero, the primarch but no ordinary primarch. I'd say Sanguinius might be the go to primarch here, because a. he can fly b. he looks handsome c. blood angels ftw baby.

Actually a new Spess Mereen hero would be cool. Or just Fulgrim for the Slaaneshi hero.

And whilst we're at that we should make a Hive Mind hero for Nids, a Wraithknight hero for Eldar and so on. Actually Fulgrim must have been quite the ho in his glory days, still though, can't deny his supreme purple sexiness.

Fulgrim also killed an Avatar with his bare hands in a book so I guess that should be his level of performance out of the gate.

Ideas for new commanders?

Postby 531st » Sat 27 Dec, 2014 6:07 pm

Brotherhood champion for GK ofc (again)
There should be a little bit diversity in GK commanders that will allow BC be not a little bit of everything not being too good in smth in particular

Since caeltos dont want to make another FC, he could be made closer to some warlock-ish type with mobility (he's artificier armored guy), psykery and maybe buffs, migrated from BC.

GK could use some ranged hero so we can make his weapons kind of switching between melee and ranged aka RA. Some psylincers, master crafted storm bolters, halberds, swords, staffs (gk dont have too much weapon choises)
Armor that gives him abilities like BC ones that do so. Maybe abilites that can make him buff himself aka some warp speed
Equipment with classic Iron halos, Psybolts, digital weapons, psycic hoods or some more magic stuff.

That way we can have warlock-ish commander that can switch for more techmarin-ish flavour or some buffs.


And we can give BC more specialized role that fits GK captain. Add some sustaining options aka heart of darkness, since he is supposed to be tanky in his terminator armor, maybe move WaTH to some more fitting commanders like libr or brotherhood champion or inquisitor that is about to be implemented. Increase his speed, he way not as tanky to have that slow speed.
Make weapons more specialized like sword=melee damage+ability, halberd=power melee+AoE, Hammer=heavy melee
Armor with offensive flavour like or seismic roar, unholy stench or psychic storm.
Equip seems legit

A Slaanesh Hero would be nice resembling someone like fabius bile or lucius the eternal.

I'm in with the Chaplain and the crazed Stormboss.

Harlequin Shadowseer? Summon harlequins? Pretty awesome twist to the Eldar i would say. I'm not a modder but the Reapers can be used for a Deathjester model and the harlequins from the Banshees maybe? Help me on this.

Archon.


Of course we'd simply HAVE to add an entirely new faction around it but I'm willing to do that in the name of Elite.
