Closer up picture.
Not sure how I feel about this as from a fluff standpoint archaon just wanted an end to everything and now is seemingly back fighting for the dark gods.

I think the model is...too much. It's not a bad sculpt at all but IMO there's just too much going on. Also, I hate the lack of Slaanesh. To me Chaos will always be the big four despite what happens in the AoS fluff. I don't even dislike the AoS fluff that much actually.
I'm not against the model but I just wonder if it crosses GW's mind when they design ones like this how easy it will be to transport.
I get anxious taking my morghasts anywhere, can't imagine having to ferry this or
Nagash about.
Slanesh will have a big comeback when the aelfs get attended to I reckon, otherwise they'd be missing a trick.

Hope to hell that's true. My husband has a chaos warrior and a deamon army that is Slaneesh themed. I have to keep the razors hidden these days. :-o
Now that's easy! If the models are fragile, they will break often and you'll have to buy new ones often to replace them. Totally. It's their new master strategy.
*sighs* ain't that the truth! I love a lot of their big plastic kits but I HATE transporting them! I've never been a fan of magnetizing except for 30 and 40K for teh weapon options but the last four years I'm going nuts on magnets with my Fantasy stuff as well.
I don't mind the aos fluff I've read so far but given Archaon ended the old world for himself and not for the chaos gods I find it odd he is now supreme grand Marshall.

Aye, new Archaon hits the charts, but the price is quite high, as for his knights. But they are really that great.

Archaon's not the only one who should be gone. Pretty much all of the old characters still seem to be kicking around, and it's kind of ridiculous when the biggest players in the new setting are all established in the old one which new players don't even really have access to.
As for archaon, forgiving for a moment that archaon's still around to begin with, and the lack of slaanesh, I love this model as it is. Big, cool wings, love the tails, love the rider. IMO, looks fantastic, as do the new, monstrous cav knights (not a replacement for the existing knight kit, they're a new unit of the larger scale models chaos got during the end times - blight kings & wrath mongers - riding similarly upscaled daemonic horses.
Shame they're all so far out of my price range. Might have bought the knights for 40k conversions if they were us$60 for three instead of us$100. Or even just $33 for 1. Oh well.

No I hadn't seen those knights. Frankly they don't look very different from chaos knights as far as I can tell.

Aye, the same style mostly, but it's the same kind of models as GW usually likes - usual forces, elite forces, mega-elite forces. This knights are the best of the best among the chaos warriors.

Aye, that's a fair point, but it's Chaos elites. They have to be this way. Chaos warriors or marauders are just as we need them to be - simple and serious. This guys are the best of the best and along with the Ender of Worlds himself can't be less than they are.
Had my first look at Archaons new rules today (they've been on the website since he went up for pre-order, I just hadn't bothered), and he's actually pretty impressive. Definitely on par with nagash, though I'd still give the edge to our guy, especially given Archaon has only -1 rend, and Nagash will probably be benefitting from arcane shield, while Archaon probably won't, due to Nagash's bonuses to cast & dispel. Still, the 4+ immunity to magic means he's considerably less likely to bite it to hand of dust than other big heroes.
