The Birdmen are coming? What the heck is all this talk of Tzeentchian “Birdmen” out there? Come see whats happening in Chaos land now!

There has been a lot said of late about GW’s first Age of Sigmar Boardgame: Hero Quest: Silver Tower (Tzeentch)

And now the “birdmen” topic:

While the LoC was finished only recently (and is not in this box), the design team did start off this larger project with some smaller AoS Beastmen minions (technically Birdmen, I suppose) of Tzeentch. Watch out for those.

Hastings chimes in:

I really like the idea of “beastmen” with something other than goat heads, back in the day I converted some with different animal heads (the cow head from the giant kit worked very well!) and it gave a much more chaotic feel to them. Hope these bird beastmen match the image I have in my head already.

We were told by a source yesterday of a possible list of Silver Tower minis for the Tzeentch side:

Which means the “birdmen” could be the cultists mentioned.

Chaos Opponents included:

12 Horrors

4 Screamers

2 Flamers

6 Cultists

1 Sorceror

1 Deamon Prince of Tzeentch (boss)

So is this part of this game, or a separate “Tzeentchy” releases slated later?
