Or... The End Times : MARKUS.

10/10 would buy. I'm probably the only one here who likes Markus Wulfhart, for his renaissance-special forces antics.

As for the new chaos dragon. It'd be cool, but I'm afraid that it's only a rumour. Like when Glottkin was supposed to have a new GUO model, but it turned out to be the Pox Maggoths.

Also don't kid yourselves. The Four Gods are untouchable. Not one of them is going to bite it.

Lileath's plan is that they get hit so hard that they sleep for thousands of years. That's feasible, that the warriors of the gods are guided by the fitful dreams of the Four. Teclis wants to destroy them, but he'll fail.

You mean: the march of time and wounds of war will have forced them into hibernation. And for thousands of years their armies will slumber – endless ranks of deathless warriors held in stasis until the time when they will once again seek to dominate the world? 

Sounds like Necrons to me.

No, I mean the Four gods will go to sleep. Until they gather enough power, they won't be actively guiding the Chaos factions. Nothing about the warriors or beastmen themselves. Lileath wants to raise champions (holding the winds of magic) to fight the gods.

When your plan contains "fight the gods" it really shouldn't be your A plan.

I love the idea of him but his stats are crap.  With his current statblock, he should be 12 points.

I know.  I was just agreeing with Xathrodox that I think the idea of him was a great addition to our book and if they made an end times book with him as the leader and made him awesome, I also would buy.

I've always thought it was the same thing as an Avatar.  And I guess Ungrimm has the inner burning rage that cannot be held back?

The great Chaos Vortex over Ulthuan has been splintered, and it’s 8 winds scattered.  Teclis admitted that his great plan was started by Nagash who himself took the wind of Death and poured it into himself, making him effectively an immortal demi-god. The great plan of Teclis was to take the 7 other winds and put them into 7 mortal vessels, creating 8 champions of the mortal world who can stand on an equal footing and throw back the Ruinous Powers once and for all.

Again; his plan involves "fight the gods".

This never works. Have people not READ Homer?

No.  Not quite. He is an ex-templar of the Knights of the Twin-Tailed Orb.  Though he was raised by a priest of Sigmar before that

LOL, I was going to make a quip about it working well for Zeus, but then I realized that he was the god and he fought the Titans, so really it bears out your point. Carry on then.

Okay, this has been bothering me to no end. What the fuck is all this talk about "Incarnates"? And why the hell is Ungrim the Incarnate of Fire?

Because apparently the Dwarves can use magic now, and not turn to stone. I hope someone let knew the Chaos Dwarves about that.

To be fair, I don't think he's channeling it. The most he seems to be doing with it is breathing fire rather than making the wind do his bidding. Also, he thinks it's the work of his gods. It's fully possible that he'll be consumed by the flame and left a burnt stone husk, the description saying it's with him for now indicates he may meet his doom soon, it may come about because of the revelation it's magic.

Or because it's terrible writing. Dwarfs + magic = major no-no. Period. It's been established so for the past two + decades.

Hey, Diomedes beat the stuffing out of both Ares and Aphrodite.

...granted, there were extenuating circumstances, and what popular culture believes about Greek gods is almost entirely wrong, but still.

ἐξ ἡμέων γάρ φασι κάκ' ἔμμεναι, οἱ δὲ καὶ αὐτοὶ
