Red like roses, fills my dreams and brings me to the place where you rest...
It's a very lazy release , stylistically. I was looking back at the release video of the vampire counts during 8th and what struck me was how much variety we have lost. In that release we had the black Knights, coven throne , Isobel, krull and the crypt horror kits. Now we get one figure modelled into as many different variants as possible. It's clearly a very cheap way of getting an army out there but it's a bit basic and crude for my liking.
So you think an army should be stylistically diverse and include a lot of incongruous elements that don't cleanly fit together?
Even as far back as then you can now see how they were splitting the VCs into smaller parts, with ghosts, ghouls and skeleton elements all moving away from each other.

There are no army releases anymore, this is more like a flavour release.
The variety comes from mixing it with something else as you please.
If it's meant to be that, as part of the mask/helmet thing, that would make sense. And it might have been, but the message got lost and they assumed it was an actual beard and painted it like one. Paint it like fire and it makes more sense.
It already had its own faction... they just killed it off again when they retconned Storm of Chaos out of existence.
I think the intent these days is that we will have more factions but they will have stronger, unified themes. As the game has four "alliances" I think the idea is that if you want variety then you allied various stuff (eg forces of order army could contain seraphon, stormcasts and sylvaneth)
Also liking how these new factions are successors of stuff from the "old world". I hope when they do elves they will focus on the Witch Elves and give them a medusa theme expanding on that bloodwrack throne kit for example.
