Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Valrak is reporting next KT will be a beastmen vs votann. Hopefully the models are neutral in aesthetic, because I wanted to do an imperial beastmen army a few years ago.

If accurate, the Votann portion should be on-foot Pioneers to go along with the Rumor Engine pictures GW has been releasing.

lansalt Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Are imperial beastmen even still a thing in the lore since 3rd edition? After their brief appearance in Blackstone Fortress, I think they'll be added to the CSM roster like the new cultists before.

Doghouse Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I would kill for Imperial Beastmen but I think it's going to be more chaos allies. Not a bad selection of kill teams if it is Votann pioneers. StrangerOrders and eyedrops 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as i am aware there has been no retcon on imperial beastmen, but based on GW’s handling of fantasy beastmen and now AoS I’d be extremely surprised if they were anything except chaos beastmen.

Guest Triszin Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 If accurate. It'll be votann pioneer rangers. (A mixture of pioneer bike driver looks and squad looks) Based on the rumor engine images expect either jump packs or a iron kin flight drone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Beastman Bounty Hunter in Necromunda, so nominaly there are still Imperial ab-humans of the beastman strain.

Burni Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 So is it chaos beastmen or imperial beastmen? Voltan vs imperium seems weird so my gut says chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo1701 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Re: beastmen why not both? Minor aesthetic differences between imperial and chaos could make up a fair chunk of the well packed sprues the kill team exclusive kits tend to get. Add in a few mutations / icons to distinguish them and the basic wargear need not be much different. eyedrops 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangoalphatwo Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Khorngor’s would be awesome! Especially since World Eaters just dropped! Haven’t had those in a while… But in all seriousness, I don’t think they will be god specific Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After their brief appearance in Blackstone Fortress, I think they'll be added to the CSM roster like the new cultists before. As of 8E lore the Imperium stopped raising and fielding abhuman regiments (specifically, Beastmen) due to the massive increase in violence against them post-Great Rift; with a significant number being driven into the arms of Chaos as a result. I don't know if that's carried into 9E since they brought the clock back a bit.
