The big news this morning is about the disappearance of Slaanesh, Sea Aelfs, and the Daughters of Khaine in the Age of Sigmar. Check this one out:
Mortahi’s Daughters of Khaine are here, and with them is the knowledge of a taint that may shake Aelfs of the Grand Alliance of Order to their foundation.
BoLS posted up this pic of the new Battletome that depicts the fate of Slaanesh:
To Summarize
- Teclis, Tyrion, Melerion, Morathi, other Aelf gods and cabals of Aelf sorcerors join forces
- Morathi gives up the vital info on how she caused Slaanesh to vomit her forth from his belly
- Slaanesh is lured to the Hidden Gloaming on the borders of Hysh and Ulgu
- Slaanesh is trapped, and Aelf souls are extracted from it
- These are divided evenly among amongst the Aelven gods who reshaped them into new forms for the Mortal Realms
Plus another image from the battletome has surfaced alluding to the rumored Sea Elves from all the rumor engine posts and teasers from Games Workshop.
With some additional details for us from Reddit:
“Is a complete new line like kharadrons Underwater aesthetic mix greek atlanteans and eldar corsair. They have been hiding in underwater cities and have control over some sea fauna, water and mist. I cannot be more specific but the apparently reason for being hiding is that they hides something in secret. Beautiful models, same size that blood bowl elven union and some models have great potential for conversions into custom exodites”
“The new aelf range are Mathlann followers”
“Atlantean aesthetic, some are very similar to Kairic Acolytes with Spite-Revenants face, anothers looks a lot more eldar – Mistweaver Saih are part of the range.”
About the glub glub video “This is an actual piece of scenery GW is going to sell, and that will have its own rules like the Sylvaneth Wyldwood. It’s part of the entire Sea Aelves new range, which are absolutely stunning visually, will have tons of sea creatures to ride, one of which is MASSIVE, and unique high cost heroes with crazy design. Also forget about the Cthullu look, their design is closer to Atlantean Spartans.”
Also according to the fluff that the Warhammer Community Team covered in their live streams:
Teclis’ first enclave were called the Idoneth – although they disappeared, and future projects proved better.
Remember your salt here folks, but from the looks of it, that Glub, Glub, Glub, video was just the beginning of what may turn out to be a fabulous looking race of Sea Elves
It also looks like the Daughters of Khaine themselves were one of the longest unsolved Rumor Engines. This image was teased back on March 22nd, 2017. Mystery finally revealed!
Games Workshop has been giving us previews from the upcoming Daughters of Khaine battletome all week, with another preview on Monday, so check back in with us for the latest updates leading up to the release.
