I'll need to work on the unit and miniature speculation Article next. I was going to split out what the lore, prior edition etc, could tell us (and have release date, minis, lore, rules etc. sections under them) but better approach is to have articles on what Minis to expect, what rules to expect, what lore developments and then cite varying sources under each.
Hard to know with Games workshop, they have been rumours for so long, some of them pretty firm, about actual minis being produced and rules in play testing years before the WE release (speculation at the time we were to be before them, bar COVID we might both have been released by now).
If this turns out to be true there is a chance there could be a 'backlog' of miniatures there and we get a bigger release? That's pie in the sky though. DG were large because they were the poster children of a Edition as antagonists and have always been the most popular / marketable (well, not always, Wes for for a long time and back in 2nd). Slaanesh EC are decidedly the least so of the 4.
It also almost seems like GW at times purposely keep completed things back to split released and not overwhelm wallets. Would also no surprise me if, no matter what is complete, we get a WE style release, then maybe a few chars / single unit next edition, then a second release in 5-6 years (bit all the work being complete well before, decision is just finishing a go slot on the production and release schedule).
Will see, after waiting so long I think sheet happiness at having anything will outweight any complaints.
Doomrider, seems anyone with any love of EC would lose their shit should be have hiom back. I'm hoping too. Certainly would be a nice change from Lucius and Eidolon. Feels like he's be better as an 11th edition "if not slotted for a range refresh / boost you only get one character with your codex" splash release though.
Oh, and I'd really love a Slaanesh swarm thing. seems like absolutely zero chance, but I;ve wanted it as long as nurgling have existing.
More cute little chibi devils on your shoulder style than mass of writhing tentacles though. Some sort of sensual worm mass (just take a seeker and stretch it to a snake) could work. I'd planned to model that (or use old epic daemonettes) if running nurglings ata GT for the rules, but by the time that would be done we'd have our own codex / index now and they'd be defunct.
