That's what I tend to wonder as well.

Units-wise, let's just hope that the Chosen Chaos Knights stay within 30-40 points per model. Currently - according to the WD list - Chosen Chaos Knights are formidable enough already to be a match for Blood Knights, with equal WS, A, & S (minus lances) but different armour saves and special rules. Marks are all that need to be tampered with to work out well.

I think I may have to start up a Fantasy army when these boys come out.

When you factor in the Frenzy (on mount and steed) on the Blood Knights they make Chaos Knights look pretty tame. 5 Blood Knights can expect to remove around 11 average infantry on the charge which is very impressive.

Personally I don't really see the need for them to be improved much. And I would rather they didn't get buffed to the point where they are costing about 50 points each

Just something to throw in. Spoke to my store manager today, and he has seen the new book and all the new models etc.

Chaos Warriors and Knights have stats to equal, if no better, the previous Chosen. There are Only Chosen Warriors now however, so no Knights (just what i was told) meaning that the Deamonically mounted Chosen mentioned in the initial post may not actually exist..

i once asked my manager and he said they werent changing much at all...
then the next week he was al about new plastic kits and the like...
then the next week possible new elight infantry units...
then the next week he back tract to not much at all!!!

this shows that mannagers (or my mannager) are verry unreliable...

only thing i got that he said was set in stone (or plastic) was new plastic hounds and knites (and i have known this since the temp list arrived any way!!!).

My manager is very reliable, generally. I used to work there, so he is willing to open up to me a little more on info about things i think. You all laughed when he told me about the release of 5th ed, over a year ago! Noone believed it.. and just look whats happened

I wonder what the stats for the new Chosen are going to look like then.

That'd be disappointing I want to get my hands on as many new models as possible.

Well to be honest im not that surprised that chosen knights are gone, i think we can all agree that Chaos knights will just become Chosen knights (as such) hence why they are special.

What i would be most interested in is the fate of marks and daemonic steeds, are we gona get the jugger back!
