On that note, since I am hearing that DA will apparently get several Fallen-related stratagems, I hope they'll also make it worthwhile somehow to actually field Fallen against them. It's a single okay-ish unit that I don't see Chaos players picking if it just results in easy advantages for their DA opponent.

It took just a few seconds for someone to notice that the tyranids have infantry characters....

Sounds plausible. All that needs to happen is for a Lictor to eat the brains of someone who knows about the Fallen, and then the whole Hive Mind has that information.

Great, now I'm imaging Asmodai killing like dozens of gaunts, haunted by the fact that they know. All of the gaunts know. And Asmodai will have to suppress this knowledge now for the rest of eternity.

Absolutely true. As long as you don't accidentally step on them, those green critters are absolutely vicious.

I have to admit, that these Slannesh models are about the first army that's really made me consider getting into AoS. They are gorgeous. And the whole theme of gaudy pleasure and excess instead of haha, tiddies really appeals.

They are really cool, and its glad to see more mortal chaos followers for the respective gods instead of just demons.

The Melusai are why i started to get into it, they are really cool too.

Honestly it feels like there is a lot more creative stuff going on with AoS than 40k.

I did 8th Cadian for my cadian shocktroops but did my own colour scheme for the vehicles i got which is mostly the same, so ill just follow that pattern. Dark Green body, maybe a few red white or beige markings here or there.

Nice; are you still fielding Creed and Kell, or are you going with a post-Cadia 8th Regiment?

Ill probably try and pick them up some point. Or maybe wait and torture myself with the dream the Imperial Guard will get an update and get new characters.

Well there is, mainly because they have a lot more freedom and blank slate to start with. Nothing has to fit 30 odd years of preconceptions of how things should look and feel.
