No it's not, it's the name for a Warlord Titan that's been dedicated to Khorne.

And they list Painlord, Plaguelord, and Warplord in the flavour text, courtesy of Jervis with "Banelord" being both the Khorne and the "generic" name... fluff changes.

Eh, I'd tend to put that one down to bad writing.

I too. But if i look at this picture and it cleary sais it is a conversion i doubt,that there will be nurgle-parts in the Baneblade box.

I guess there willbe rules and pictures of the Plaguereaper and Ork-Baneblad ein the Apocalypse rulebook (same as BrassScorpion). And because of this someone mistook them for officially plastic-kids.

Actually, that was from Jervis after I asked why the Black Legion only had access to Khornate "Warlord-class" Titans, while they could get other "lesser" Titans with any Mark.

Yep, I'd still put it down to bad writing.

Previously the Khorne-Warlord wasn't called Khornelord or Bloodlord, sp i have no problems calling the generic Chaos-Warlord a Banelord.

The Banelord has been Khorne-specific ever since it was first introduced in SM1/2, IIRC?

Maybe but the name doesn't implies so.

As far as I'm concerned, the Black Legion list will now be conspicuously lacking the 'Plaguereaper', and instead will have a fan-made 'Decimator' in its place. That's not going to help Epic's accessability issues.

I'd be very surprised if any possible players were put off BL by a differently named SHT. More likely to be put off by lack of GW support

I guarantee you, players will come looking for the Plaguereaper, and they'll be put off by the community's lack of support. :)

So LordI could add it to the Death Guard list, and/or put in a bit about different Gods SHTs in the datafluff

I really don't think every change in each 40k codex/supplement needs to be slavishly followed in Epic

If the majority of changes in the core IP aren't followed, then three years down the line we end up with a game that no longer represents the universe properly.
