Yes, well. All magic derives from the Realm of Chaos. However neither the Slann Mage-Priests nor Nagash nor many, many other practitioners have become influenced by Chaos, despite manipulating its energies.

It'd be funny if it wasn't so true.
Also since when did Tzeentch need frontline heroes? That's not what the faction is about. How about, I dunno, ADDIN MORE LORES OF MAGIC to the GOD OF MAGIC?!

Ultimately, the heroes don't need more skills because the vast majority of them don't interact well with the fundamental rules of the game. The game itself isn't rich enough for that, so adding superfluous skills nobody picks up just lampshades its problems even more.

Valkia already has Fire and Metal Sorcerers.
We had one in the first Dawn of War expansion. Wasn't as stupid as it might think. Was kept on a REALLY short leash by the khornate Chaos Lord.

Thats more on her being part of the WOC, which was a stupid decision from the get go.

No, Sindri was in the base game. Lord Bale, whom he was manipulating so beautifully, was following Chaos Undivided. The khornate Lord from Winter Assault was, I think, named Crull? And I'm not sure the sorcerer he was bullying around even had a name.

Even if SoC was free, I would not bother with it.
This is supposed to be a new Kislev unit.

It was bound to go this way once the immediate art direction of the established factions was exhausted. They can't do "grounded and gritty" by themselves.
Compare the above concept art to, say, the old box art for the Free Company Militia. Or the basic Empire State Troops, or even the Reiksguard Knights. You can immediately tell those were people who've been fighting in the muck for a long long time. They're scarred and haggard and some are aged beyond their years. Now compare this to the peasants from Cathay or the fucking bodybuilder bearmode Kislevites.

If CA had the balls - purely hypothetically of course, because they don't - you could do a lot with both Kislev and Cathay but that might require referencing less-than-nice things about the histories of Russia and China and that might impact sales. Especially the latter.
Chinks and vatniks buy Warhammer? I don't buy that logic. More realistic is 99% of people working on GW's IPs are talentless hacks.

Since its not cracked they have little choice.
The artwork section on Steam used to be nothing but coomer shit by chinks, too.
I have all three of these boxes. The Knights were my very first box of Warhammer, I remember getting the State Troops box before going out to a steakhouse for dinner with my parents (where I missed the opportunity of getting myself a snake burger), and the Free Company box really let me go ham with interchanging parts between models to make some really unique dudes. One dude I gave the arm that goes along with the bow to make an archer dude, but I posed said arm behind his head to make it look like he was scratching his head while swinging his club around. And yes, this does mean that the guy has two right hands.
Good times.

Zero campaign mechanics changes, almost zero changes to the tech trees or hero skills, no race updates or reworks, etc. And yet redditards and other lesser creatures are already creaming themselves and asking for more.
