I'm to the point though where I'd rather they ditch Chaos Space Marines as a faction, and rather go full bore on a full Chaos faction, which can take a smattering of powerful, 10,000+ year old veterans.  I know it won't happen because marines sell, even spikey ones.  I'd just much rather see waves of Chaos beastman, traitor guard, etc. then just...space marines with spikes, etc.

Agreed, I'd like to see proper chaotic looking forces, it always seemed odd to me that after all that time in the Eye of Terror and their corruption, the chaos marines still mostly maintained their legions...I think they should have fractured and mixed with all manner of chaos creatures long ago.

The face on the new Daemon Prince is awful

Luckily the kit comes with something like 6 heads! Two generics and one themed for each Chaos God. The first generic is probably the one you're talking about (seen more often in the previews, painted mostly white, and yes it's the worst of the lot), but I quite like the other generic (in the 40k preview, painted in a dark rose and kind of goofy, but in a way I enjoy).

The Faction-themed heads are kind of blah to me, though the Khorne one looks alright.

I see what you mean though I think the faction themed heads have been photoshopped onto the body so if painted in their own scheme I think they'd look better.

I've seen enough parts in the previews that I'm seriously wondering if you can make two princes with that set.

What a stupid waste it is to have like, 4-5 pairs of arms and legs, 6 heads, loads of accessories, and only 1 torso. I sincerely hope they're not repeating that nonsense again (though it's all too common even with the newer GW).

Yeah, options, while nice, often end up with tons of wasted plastic.  Maybe some ingenious person will make some 3D printed bodies that fit all the stuff.

Chaos Dwarfs are back  :D
A Warcry warband has been revealed by GW - https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/05/06/revealed-a-wild-warcry-echoes-across-warhammer-fest/ - and they are called 'The Horns of Hashut'.
They are described as being human followers of Hashut, who was the CDs' god; the are a vanguard force; and they are in chains, and this could indicate they are slaves, following the CD pattern. And GW couldn't resist pointing out they have tall hats!

Also more Squats (called Squats!) - https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/05/06/revealed-squat-prospectors-hit-the-motherlode-in-the-ash-wastes/ - as they live on Necromunda, and these are reminiscent of the old models in some ways.

Pretty damn cool mini in my opinion, I like the badass matron look. The banner appears to be asymmetrically aligned with the torso though, not sure what that is about.

They could have went pinup and didn't, good on them. Speaking as someone who paints plenty of scantily clad miniatures.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

If it were symetrical, it'd look too much like a back-banner, which it isn't; you can see the standard in the base behind the figure.

And is it a female? Couldn't tell to be honest, but I absolutely agree about it being a better mini for not being a pinup.

But does it speak to me? No, not really...  :?

Yes is supposed to be female, her name is Ursula Creed and the specifically refer to "her" in the preview. To each their own but not that impressed. Haven't bought anything GW in ages but still like to look at the models. If I was younger though I might have gotten into the Herasy stuff coming out. Would have been cool though if they made it in a new scale to match the Titans. Yes I did love the old Epic 40K line.
We haul ours to kick theirs.
