>>96937877Did Nurgle always have the dark red cape thing or is that just more noticable on new guys?
>custom Marshal on the PtG cover>they actually kitbashed him for the photosSoul
>>96937877I'm much more excited for the quest stuff than the other stuff (aside from Festus) the new Blight Kings while more uniform feel off to me. I also don't really enjoy the new armored guys ALL having hornys and the nurgley helmets.I'm hoping we get some faces in the mix. Quest knocked it out of the park though, deffo picking that up.... though Im blanking, did they give a release date?
>>96937892It was browner
>>96937923>though Im blanking, did they give a release date?Not sure, but some booklet claimed it and bloodbowl stuff are comming this year
>TQThose guys were my favourtie
i already have like 5k points of death guard, my first love. i told myself i wouldn't need another nurgle army, that i'll stick to other stuff in AOS. i should have known that GW would know just how to pull me back in >TQNurgle all day. i'm gonna consooooom.
>>96938027Getting this vibe from him
>>96937877>TQHappy for Nurglebros, but also very jealous. Doubt I'll get a release for any of my armies this big anytime soon.
>>96937877Reveals are everything I ever wanted in Fantasy. The witch is the only new model I don't like, but I will just convert her into a wizard with Blightkings bits
Do banners and/or musicians actually do anything this edition? I haven't played since 3rd and I can't find anything in the rule book or index that they do anything. I really have the Steelhelm banners (why are they so HUGE) and want to avoid building them at all.
Weird how the correct Festus leak incorrectly claimed the models is suppsoed to be super huge, wehn it look about the size of Horticulus
>>96938043the new maggotkin are all absolute patricians
>>96938090Some minor bonuses
>>96937877>TQi dont play aos but im a massive nurgle fan, so these reveals were quite fantastic for me. some very nice models.
>>96938090Banners add +1 to OC and Musicians give you an extra rally die to roll.
>>96938043I dig the priestly vibes from the new Blightkings.They feel equally at home preaching the gospel as well as beating you to death with it.
>>96937877I shall continue my wait for the new Ogor models. I have an excellent lore idea for an Ogor army (Ulgu Ogors) but I want the refreshed range for my models
>>96938027I like them, they're a tad clean, but a bit of subtlety in the nurgle range isn't necessarily a bad thing. They do look kind of like prophets and heralds of nurgle a little, like the other guy said.Also damn eavy metal went fucking HARD on all this nurgle stuff.
>>96938207so then i wonder if the dark water stuff is gonna actually have battletome rules or if its just going to be side game stuff you'll proxy as shit?
>>96938237>This book also contains rules for using Nurgle's followers from Warhammer Quest: Darkwater – a new entry in the beloved board game series that was revealed at this very Preview Show. Gelgus Pust, his court of supporting characters, the Cankerborn, and Pox-wretches all join the carnival of corruption with their own warscrolls, and standalone boxes that will be released at a later date.
>>96938237Pestigor shaman will become a generic shaman.Witch will beocme a realmgor ritualist alt.Basic unarmored human dudes will be a chaff kit.Gooner blightking is just a lord of afflictionMain villain will stay a hero.Unit of 8 pestigors and water horses will be gone.Question is Cankelborn
>>96938255>cankerbornsee >>96938252
>>96938273I meant long term. Cursed City all got rules instantly but now it's just zombies skeletons and Radukar
>>96938230Fatsune Piggu
>>96938207Im honestly glad none of them have those overly cartoony stomach-mouths death guard liked sticking on everything
Why is all the new Nurgle stuff so roly-poly Dark Souls? Everything has a very similar silhouette It's like when they hired one guy to renew the Death Guard in 40k because of his kitbashing
>>96938351They probably wanted them to look more mortal and less like daemons because they are mortal and not daemons
>>96937877I kinda wish the blightkings shown had some more wounds and guts falling out but everything else is 10/10 in my book. I especially love the fly flail the big daemon prince looking guy has, the riders, both pestigors and the cankerborn. Definitely got a lot to look forward to on expanding my maggotkin.
>>96938409>kinda wish the blightkings shown had some more wounds and guts falling outThat's fair, at the very least it's an easy thing to sculpt in yourself, or just use leftover bits from your existing maggotkin bitzbox
>>96938351I'm hoping Old World takes back the OG blightkings so the kit has an excuse to stay in print.Just because both new and old are good just different in style.
>>96937877As a worshipper of the Architect of Fate I say the game is now strictly worse.
Is there a use case for 15 jezzails?
>>96938230this face is asking to be painted like a clown face
>>96938351I don't like the old blightkings going away, they could have been kept as another unitnow I hope TOW gets to reuse them, it has a lot to do with nurgle with the thamurkhan refuses
Nurgle gets a full release even though it already has a good roster, meanwhile some factions are still running around with their first wave and can barely be called armies.I hope whatever fat fuck loves nurgle at gw gets some STDs .
>>96938533They're spliting Blightking into 2 with the armored guys and fat guys as separate things
>>96938567>I hope whatever fat fuck loves nurgle at gw gets some STDs .Why? They can't be allied anymore
>>96938422>>96938533I thought tow was bending over backwards with their new fluff to really cuck individual chaos in favour of undivided. Here's hoping though, old blight kings are a beloved sculpt.>>96938453>15 jezzails for 100OR>3 jezzails for 15 (so 75 for all 15)Am i retarded or did this guy fuck up the math
They genuinely turned the Maggotkin, one of the best ranges in the game, into one of the shittest looking factions in all AoS.Grim.
>>96938579ok contrarian
>>96938576
>>96938453I once bought 9 tzaangors skyfires Still waiting for when they become as viable as 20 blisarb archers
>>96937999>Move Beastmen to ToW>still continue giving them models in AoS
>>96937877Seriously though I get nurgle is fun to sculpt and easy to brainstorm for but lmao they really are chaos' special big boys. Best range got like 15 new kits or something.Tzeentchbros we must endure.Also a little dissapointed we didn't get any hints for other factions, though the thyria supplement looks cool as fuck.Overall 8/10 reveals
>>96937877Cathay players are eating good.GW is chasing the Chinese market hard
>>96938579At least current edition of AoS is the best it's ever been
>>96938635Are you fucking retarded?
>>96938644battletomes are too boring and shit for that to be true. core rules are propably the best.
>>96938639I was expecting more for them honestly they were talking about 10 kits or some shit in here.They're alright though
>>96938527
>>96938752beep beep, siggie
>>96938752>You wanna know how I got these scars?
>>96938230My god nurgle shit is so fucking lame. It doesn't even look disgusting or repulsive, it's just this comical pee pee poo poo meme trash at this point. People must like it because they keep making new kits but holy fuck
Don't start seething at me but more rumourslop on the way. First part is 40k, but then it says something about an elf prince from ghyran (maesa? Idoneth?), idk what the maelstrom thing is all about though. Maybe it's more 40k. And then more eshin hints.
>>96938780Nurgle's thing is joy and this is a character who's main feature is a grotesque unremovable smile. It has nothing to do with pee or poo
>>96938784I actually thought he was talking about some fucked up crossover where Eightpoints was in the Eye of Terror
>>96938784he was already wrong about last night so why give him more attention?
>>96938784>Idoneth?definitely idoneth, I remember their battletome had some ominous sounding characters teases/ideasI need to scan through it again for the reference
>>96938784I do not care for this man's slam poetry recital.
>>96937999Yeah, I just wish we got a hero for them... Next edition I guess >>96938794He was wholly correct? He never leaked anything for the show specifically but upcoming releases in general and has been entirely right. I don't know how you can be such a pissbaby redditor about it. Yes, it's attention whoring but it's justified evidently
>>96938794? Didn't he get ass mad about more cathay (before gw had their little teaser video)
>>96938752>Mistah J sez I hit da wall, I say he's full of it!
>>96938803I must have remembered wrong, the septemmar is technically from ghyran, but there's no mention of a prince, unless whoever they bring is the son of the queen in this snippet of lore, considering it's from the age of myth
Oddly low on spam today, other than a whole other derail thread that failed to get traction
>>96938915nurgle wonwe're all in agreement
Order of the Fly bros.... We won I do wish the horses were a little less pathetic though. The Harbinger's horse isn't comical like that.
It's so weird the WHQ Pestigors look distinct from the generic ones. I don't mind but at that point give them a warscroll so the Pestigor are a subfaction basically
>>96938820>>96938821Where are the 10 promised cathay units?Where is OBR?Dude is full of shit.
So are you buying Darkwater?
>>96938820>I just wish we got a hero for themShaman
>>96937999>want mark of Nurgle bestigor(pestigor)?>buy the fucking boardgame thenThanks GW.
>>96938993Irrelevant if he's unique
>>96938979He never said they would all appear in the reveal show, retard, and he's been 100% correct so far. Go back to eddit faggot
>>96938981No. AoS needs to prove it has legs before I spend anymore money on it. I've already experienced the death of one GW fantasy game (and no I have zero interest in trying Old World). Now AoS looks like it might be at the start of slow death too.Why can't amerifags enjoy anything besides sci-fi?
>>96938979Yeah I definitely remember him saying "then GW will preview three years of releases in one shot"You fucking slob
>>96939014They basically just released a new army replacing WHF stuff and the Ogor refresh is upcoming too
it's just a coincidence boole got all this right btw I could do it too but I'm not an attention whore yknow it's just completely luck that his vague posts bear any resemblance to the release
hi guys I'm from reddit, can you guys stop posting this boole guy because I don't like spoilers
I like 'em. The herald is in good company.
For reference, this is what he initially posted concerning nurglePretty damn accurate, all things considered. Couple of things that aren't quite what'd you'd expect though. Seems to me like he does have a source, but he's obviously also not top brass or anything.
>>96938967the warhammer quest stuff was probably done way ahead, before they had decided exactly all the designs cues and directions of the wave coming off of it.the whq ones are also way closer to the old metal ones, with the hoods and singular horns, honestly I prefer them
The studio painters really knocked it out of the park with these guys.
I feel like Nurg has always been GW's favorite son
>>96939063If the witch counts as relamgor ad cances as trolls, then it's rather on point.But mistaking demons for troggoths implies he sin't working on them directy and jsut pasisngly saw them with 0 explenation
>>96939025Releases don't translate into an active scene, though. It's died off pretty hard at my LGS. We still have regulars but fewer than half of what we had a year or two ago. And i hear other stories like this from other places every day. Even the youtube influencer types have started taking random shots at AoS in unrelated videos. There's been a definite vibe-shift.
>>96937877>TQI feel awesome, my dedicated to granpa and bathing only once per fortnight finally paid off. I am bit sad about the blightkings, I love our current models, you can buy three kits and have no model look the same. This versatility, the amount of bits that could be used to bashing, that will disappear. I need to buy additional box of the current boys.
>>96939080Isn't there an apocryphal story that it comes down to one sculptor in the studio loving Nurgle stuff and doing all of this as a pet project?
>>96939080no kidding, i think they've got the most attention out of any of the chaos factions.death guard have the most units by far, they got more new things in the end times, they had a bunch of FW models like the blight drone, plague hulk, plague ogres, plague toads (very original i know), etc.
>>96938784Stop posting that attention whores shit here
>>96939087He's supposedly works in the 40k department (or alternatively, he knows somebody who does) so that would check out. He's definitely seen these before, but he's probably not privy to their fluff and shit.
>>96939011>>96939020> Troon Gay Alliance leaker asshole lickers defend their leakerslop even on 4chanGuys there are no up votes or likes for you here I don't get why you do this for free
>>96939090Yea, happened here as well a bit when the new edition came out and the game stopped being fun.
>>96939107The Emperor's Children release proved the favoritism beyond doubt, just minimum effort and creativity
>>96939057I can't wait for their rotting horses to somehow hit harder and move faster than giant mutated flies the blightlords have
whew, best armor designs gw has done in years
>>96939154I like the big fauld skirt. Are there female blightswords? I guess you couldn't tell.
>>96939101They're by far the most favoured chaos faction in both aos and 40kek. It'd have to be one hell of an autist if it was one guy.
>>96939159If you can't see nipples that means the character is female
>>96939154So your old blightkings are now rot swords?
>>96939057nurgle still cannot decide what is his demonic steed of choice>it's a nurglings' palanquin>no wait, it's the pale horse>no wait, it's plague beasts>no wait, it's plague toads>no wait, it's plague drones>no wait, it's maggoth beasts>no wait, lets go back to the drones>no wait, it's a giant snail or leech>eh, fuck it, pale horses are the fan favourite
>>96939154Now that the dust has settled, why did we win so hard?>>96939189Is there any indication of base size for these new guys yet? Rotswords look to be 10 man squads so I'd be a bit awkward.
>>96939189No, Rotswords seam to be smaller. Blightkings are still Blightkings, they just look more like Rotswords
>>96939195>>96939209if rotswords are human sized all those le grimdark mordheim blanchitsu kitbash guys will probably go insane
>>96939154I wonder how easy they will be to kitbash with regular old chaos warriors.
>>96939154>dislike nurgle>love the armourHmmm. How hard would it be to clean these guys up and run them as something else? The bodies don't look TOO excessive honestly. But I feel like I'm underestimating things here.
>>96939232>regular old chaos warriors.You mean the tow ones? Those are shit and can’t be customized at all beyond the arms and heads at best.
>>96939239ESL
>>96939241Well my point got across
>>96939246Nta but "regular old" in this case isn't referring to literal old models, he's more than likely talking about the 'normal' aos ones.
>>96939154Those look infinitely better than the old blightkings and im glad they separated the armor and fatso aspects into 2 units. also this release is what convinced me to finally pull the trigger on nurgle as my first and probably only chaos army, i also love the huge plaquebearer demons.
>>96939273Too bad the new blightkings look worse and with barely any mutation
>>96939282>Too bad the new blightkings look worsesubjective and wrong. The new ones have a clear philosophy rather than just being stinky poopy. >arely any mutationmeh. You can still personalize them with left over bits from other kits.
Did they namedrop order of the fly anywhere? Because this is basically an order of the fly release.
>>96939300i dont think they look explicitly worse. they do look like a different unit though
NOOOOO YOU'RE SPOILING IT FOR GW STOP POSTING LEAKS
>>96939300>The new ones have a clear philosophy rather than just being stinky poopy.They're just naked stinky poopy nowblightkings were the kit for bits, the only one left is chaos spawns, and god knows how outdated, off-scale for infantry models, and how little time they have left before they're replaced with a monobuild kitthere was no reason to remove blightkings, these new ones could have been a new unit, blightpriests or whatever
I do think they've got a more priestly vibe to them. Somebody in the last thread mentioned carcosa and I thought it was pretty apt. Personally I like em more but I'm not a nurgle guy so what do I know. Old blightkings were very customizable though. Would've been best to make them a separate thing though. Actually hold on schizo suggestion :Old blight kings get repackaged to become the multipart 'Blight Templars' from the darkwater box.
>nu-china copy paste slop and fatties.Wake me up when Malekith and the titty-elves are back.
>>96939314>They're just naked stinky poopy nowcultist in the dark forest stinky poopy. I still cant tell you what the hell old blightkings were.
>>96939341>the titty-elves are back.never coming back, anon, I'm sorry
Is anyone going for the free mini today?I'm making the trip later, it should be fun
>>96939233From the looks of it it won't be that hard, you'll just need to trim pimples and barnacles. Probably they have the same bases as chaos warriors or stormcasts, so you can proxy them as those I guess. Both would sorta fit because of gladiator/roman themes.
>>96939301Nope, but the fluff for Darkwater is that the Jade Abbey's knight defenders were corrupted so it's at least a convergence if not explicit Lady followers Wish we got a Pestigor knight/squire like the Reynolds books (two appear) to bridge the two disparate factions
>>96939399this is the first flail aos has seen in years
I love the shaman. He's flawless, no notes.
>>96939402A helmet will fix him
>>96939363Dont put that evil on me, anon... Dont take away hope.
>The most numerous of the Nurgle worshippers infesting the Jade Abbey, Pox-Wretches are those taking their first steps on the path to entropy. They wear cyclopean masks that rob them of sight, instead using their sense of smell and taste to hunt down those not enhanced by Nurgle’s fecund gifts. A bunch of actual smellfags.
>>96939341>MalekithDon't deadname him. He's Malerion now.
>>96939301noorder of the fly is just generic nurgle warriors as well
>>96939343then get an appointment, because you're blind
>>96939405I think it would be best to cover only the upper part of his head, the smile is too good.
>>96939433good to see you cant identify old blightkings direction as well.
I'm not sure about the Darkwater box on the whole, but I hope I can get some of its pestigors. I'm gonna want to mix them with the standalone kit.
>>96939399I feel he's the weakest model of the nurgle release will be good for conversions
>>96938351>>96938360I think James is trying to split blightkings into two separate units. The old ones were a bit too generic and versatile being the mortal foot soldier, anvil, and hammer unit. There was no in-between for mortal guys with melee weapons and the elite heavy bois. They’re trying to standardize and homogenize the faction like Slaves to darkness.>chaos marauder/darkoath>chaos warrior>chosenNurgle just kind of had chosen with the old blightkings, and they’re retconning the lore to make armor-bursting mutations a badge of office and station among the maggotkin. They needed something between your melee dork (pestigors) and the elites so they bumped blightkings up and made the armored 10 man mortals the Nurgle chaos warriors basically
>>96939440The direction was making nurgle chosen, you smoothbrained retard. They're meant to be heterogeneous.
>>96939420>The kelpiesWonder if there's a Centaurworld fan on the design team?
>>96939473wouldnt be the first time video game or cartoon references have slipped into the designs
>>96939473The Kurnothi releases suggest as much.
>>96939485>zelda invented orcs, or orcs on pigs
Say something nice about new worm witch
Nurglings or Kelpies for swarm? Nurglings are more cute
>>96939494>Belga the Cystwitch, a former high priestess of the Jade Abbey driven mad by her revolting new formI can't fix her.
>>96939493>another episode of anon pretends obvious thing is wrong to act smugokay
>>96939074I’m glad they chose to forego the heavy metal style for these guys. Nurgle is so round and bumpy that blending is the way to go. The darker shades style also suits them better.The rusted metal and spilling guts on the right are awesome>>96939057>Horses are mostly covered by a trash bagCan’t decide if this is a bad thing cause there’s less model to paint or a good thing cause there’s less horse to paint
>Mulgoth the Cleaver, a loyal servant of Pust who takes great pleasure in destroying beauty and breaking the spirits of virtuous heroes.
>>96939441the difference between darkwater gors being actual warriors instead of normal ones that look like rabid cows is pretty weird but clear…
>>96939512GOONER
>>96939485>referencegw is stealing designs since the beginning lol
>>96939494Took ne a while to realise she isn't standing on the worm, she is the worm.Then i noticed there are more people in the worm.Horrific stuff
These chads were kino finally we have fucking chaff
>>96939534I dont know why but this made me scared
>>96939512I hope he will have alternate pose for his big hand. Would be cool if he was holding some CoS soldier like that one option for the fly guys.
>>96939534PRAISE THE SU… I MEAN HYSH!!!
>>96939541small price lmao
>>96939494
>>96938092If the blightlords are still the size of ogors then he's pretty big. Like a thundertusk.
>>96939525
I want Tzeentch in a game like DarkWater just to see what this faggots can do that is not birds… please do something with Tzeentch, James
>>96939591>I want Tzeentch in a game like DarkWater just to see what this faggots can do that is not birds…
>>96939591part of me doesnt want quest to just be regulated for chaos, but at the same time both khorne and slaanesh could use it...oh well. Next one is probably for 40k anyways and blackstone was a sleeper for me.
>>96939609blackstone was hype when it was promising alien adventures and it became a nothingburger the moment they showed their hand and it was yet more generic chaos shitters
I feel like a Quest where Order is the enemy and the "heroes" are from a different GA could be fun.
>>96939650Goblinos quest incoming!!Imagine…
>>96939591is baffling to me that they gave this much stuff to smelly fatties that already had a complete range and they ignored best god.Now nurgle has the biggest range of chaos, but they will surely give slaanesh a second wave or more khorne shit…
>>96939678>is baffling to me that they gave this much stuff to smelly fatties that already had a complete range and they ignored best god.they had less stuff than people assume, but they had golden kits, and now one is gone
>>96938915>tow gets little to no kits -> grogs mad -> spam on /aosg/ (summer preview)>tow gets too many kits -> grogs uppity -> spam on /aosg/ (adepticon)Based cathay midsized ctrl c ctrl v reveal brought peace and harmony to /aosg/ at least for the time being
>>96939541He is in the tail, Anon
The headswap on the marshal works.
>>96939692I wonder if they'll integrate the blight paladins and bog deers into the proper range, the article didn't mention themdo we have better photos of the sprues? maybe we can understand if they're locked with some characters or not
What's up with the Celtic/folk horror vibe of the Nurgle guys? Like bronze armor and shit. Has that ever been there before?
>>96939784Interestingly both types of pestigors are shown here
>>96939801Not really? Maybe the harbinger of decay was a cue? I mean it’s not entirely out of place, they’re meant to be opposed to sylvaneth mostly.
>>96938207Eavy Metal doing a faux oil wash style on new minis was not on my cards.Pleasantly surprised, these look properThank God for Chaos keeping warhammer on the right track.
>>96939801unfortunately it's peak
>>96939802I don't see it
>>96937877>TQ>AoSPretty crushed that we aren't actually getting KurnothiDisappointed that we didn't see the rumored new Gargant kitHappy that the Nurgle stuff is fantasticHappy that despite that, it doesn't make me want to get into Nurgle>Everything elseCrushed we didn't see the rumored Corsair releaseHappy to see multiple Xenos armies get really cool characters
>>96939833I think you're confusing the left for a Darkwater model
>>96939194If I didn't know better, I'd think there isn't actually a single dedicated "Nurgle Steed". And it's a bit silly to assume that there would be.
>>96939784I'm not touching blightlords with a ten foot pole At this point GW are just waiting for the best time for a worthless stock tax write off
Kinda wish we got monstrous cavalry instead of just horses
>>96939795the cultists are attached to the kelpies and the non-multipart pestigors, which either means this shit will be reboxed into a spearhead, or nurgle will lose the cultists when the darkwater boxset ceases production I don't recognise the bits for the blight paladins
They're missing some of the cartoonishness of models like Fecula's Flyblown and the various daemon heralds. Not making a value judgement on that, it's just an observation. That said, the tied bows are a cute detail.
>>96939885they already revealed the spearhead though
>>96939884I'm with you on that but that's a general peeve I have with AoS and not any single faction.
>>96939884Artisan guild has snail riders in the style of horticulus's mountprint these and swap the ridersmaybe sell the horse steeds to deathfags
>>96939896PROONT
>>96938915>>96939014Pretty much this, the culling of a lot of my favorite models and the state of 4e rules and tomes has put me out. Nurgle release looks fantastic but even if it were a release for my favorite faction I'd still wonder how long before they get their rules squatted like cursed city.We're over halfway to 5e so I'll see if it's more of the same from there at this point.
>>96939885They said Pox Wretches are getting a full kit afterwards but the unique Pestigors and Kelpies are temporary
>>96939896>>96939884>>96939894People didn’t like the direction slimux went so we couldn’t have them.
>>96939905Based sacrosanct fan
>>96939893darkwater is going out of production multiple years from now, they can rotate the spearheads then.
>>96939906>Good Pestigors and cute Kelpies are temporaryNOOOOOOOOOOO
>>96939194Why does it need to decide? Hop on a jolly fella and ride forth to spread grandfathers blessings!Who cares if it is a snugglefly, a maggotbuddy or your little brother?
>>96939932The dark water pestigors only look good when mixed in with the others
>>96939934>Why does it need to decide?Because that's how the gods work, they have a favoured steed they gift to their champions: khorne has the juggernaut, slaanesh has the seeker, tzeentch has the disc, and nurgle has the palanquin, but you can't make a unit of dudes on palanquins so nurgle has struggled with coming up with a signature mount
>>96939945>Because that's how the gods work,Apparently not, have you heard of Nurgle?
>>96939945>Because that's how the gods workNot reading your fan canon.
Not enough appreciation for these guys. Look at the fucking sword, man.
>>96939962Without a plaguebearer refresh they're kinda irrelevant
>>96939885Can't they just cut it in the middle for the cultist standalone box (including kelpies)?
>>96939962I wish plaguebearers looked that cool.
>>96939988I have no idea how plastic moulds work, but the connections between the two halves of the sprue are somewhat different from other sprues I've seen so maybe they are modular in some way?
Best reveal yesterday was a toy company accidentally creating the world's best Mega-Gargant for Idoneth armies.
I wouldn't be shocked if kelpies were like worse nurglings on the board. They look like the kinda creature that would explode on a good punt
>>96940007source?Reminds me Gutrot Sprume feels left out with his tentacles now the new guys lack them outside of the Templars
How does this party look to you now that you've got a good look at all the party members?
>>96940042I’m gonna vorn out
>>96940042i might me the only one who likes the renegade saints. would put a helmet on her and a bladegheist revenant sword
>>96939948>>96939953It's how the gods have worked since the start, to make one and its roster of demons you need a type of greater demon, a type of lesser demon, a type of beast and a type of steed.And nurgle as a steed used a palanquin carried by nurglings, a solution to the discrepancy would be claiming that all of the various mounts nurgle uses are deep down puppeteered by nurgling parasites, I guess.
>>96940041https://store-horsemen.myshopify.com/collections/pre-order-items/products/pre-order-bulwarqq-large-monster
>>96940042I don't like the bearman and the fake knight.And the druid is also overkill after having both a kurnothi and a lake lady.
>>96940060Is that you shaxi? Go back. Gods, especially warhammer chaos gods, aren’t fucking linear.
>>96940060>It's how the gods have worked since the start,No, anon. It's not how the gods have worked from the start. It's how the gods worked AT the start. They haven't worked like that for a long time. If you need any more information, ask this anon>>96939194They have assembled very good information showing that a Chaos god does not "need" a dedicated steed
>>96940042I want them to have Warcry rules. All the new stuff should have Warcry rules. HoH got theirs confirmed in their grand unveiling so it should have been confirmed here as well.
>>96939975Plaquebearers still look perfectly fine>muh dynamic poses They dont need that because they are slow moving counting autists.>>96939962Love those guys especially because its a rare demon release
>>96940042From here on out I will be shipping Inara Sion with Jacobus Vyne.
>>96940104>Plaquebearers still look perfectly fineNTA and I agree there's nothing wrong with how they look, but they do have a bad case of mould lines that makes them annoying to work on.
>>96940104It's just a terrible homogenous kit that's dated and yeah, the gestures are rank and flank shit while the warband does lumbering better
>>96940104Blightkings looked fine
>>96940075>Is that you shaxi?no idea who your crush is>>96940081I know of all of those, but even then the palanquin was kept as nurgle's steed, which is why gw evidently struggled when it came do designing a cavalry unit for nurgle
>>96939962Poses and weapons are meh, but i love the 3-faced thing. Truely demonic
>>96940138Makes sense why GW abandoned the steed idea then
Kinda wish hammer and bolter were comics instead of animations
>>96940173BL should bring back Warhammer Monthly, but I think the issue is that the comic industry in English-speaking countries is a mess right now.
>>96940214They really are missing a trick by not adding comics to Warhammer+. They could do a couple new releases every week but bulk it up with their massive back catalog
Why haven't they squatted the bamboo retards? Pox Wretches clearly fill their role
>>96940230How does melee chaff fill the role of ranged chaff?
>>96937877>check in with local nurgle players regarding the reveals >they're complaining the new spearhead sucks despite getting 3 fucking boxes of shit>>96938784>rumor faggot got most of his predictions wrong outside of armored nurgle units, which was an easy prediction to make as soon as it was clear darkwater was going to have nurgle stuffStop posting this fucking faggot
>>96939418>>96939464They said in the stream the new ones are the size of the old ones basing wise and you can use the old ones still. Sorry anon.
>>96938784the Maelstrom is an area in 40k, it's where the Red Corsairs hang out. He's suggesting that one of the 500 Worlds books will be Huron Blackheart vs Prince Yriel. Both of those characters have been rumored to be part of the end of edition campaign for months from established rumor mongers. The only thing he's adding to it is that they won't each get their own book, it'll be 500 Worlds: Huron Blackheart OR 500 Worlds: Prince Yriel, not both.Which is a pretty weak ass rumor
>>96938207>>96938351The only thing i didn't like is that they all have (alsmost) the same design in helmet, blightknights had different cool helmets (even a bugface)
>>96940305It make sense, their lore is that they were the guardians of the same place before they fell to Nurgle. Whereas the old Blightkings were random Nurgle champions from all over the place.
>>96940256>>rumor faggot got most of his predictions wrongno, he didn't.>bigger festus>named demon prince>sorceress >pestigor sorcerer >pestigors>nurgle 'cultists'>nurgle warriors>nurgle cavalry >redone blightkings>nurgle trolls he got wrong that the trolls aren't actually trolls, despite a passing resemblance
>>96938981Nah, minis sucked for meNurgle knights and big monsters are really good, but the other jobber and heroes fucking ruined it for menigga centaur and waterladyLoraxGandalf the greenThe only heroes i liked was knight and dwarf, rugged lady knight could have been better but i call it "eeehh acceptable" mini
>>96940256>as soon as it was clear darkwater was going to have nurgle stuffWho do you think leaked the next warhammer quest was going to have nurgle?
>>96938207Why were these guys not the new blightkings and the sauna guys not a new unit, these seem much closer to the old blightkings.
>>96938981Nah. I want the water lady, I might pick her up separately. But the Nurgle stuff, while extremely cool, is just slightly out of the for me range
>>96939541WAIT I found him, hes not the nurgling in the tail, once we get the rotating image. He's climbing the back of the slug under the platform
>>96939185I hope Maggotkin get to keep their Scourge of Ghyran prayer lore.
>>96938207So these are gonna be like the little vrykos trio? I wonder if we'll be able to run multiple? Excited regardless since I already got 2+ points of maggotkin so everything new is just options.
>>96939239Which ones were the gorilla/slouched looking ones with those giant ass halberds? I remember those getting an unique sprue with chaos mutations
>>96939547If you want Rotbringers worshiping celestial objects, there's Ghalea and Kurnalune, the twin moons of Ghyran, which were corrupted by Nurgle in the past. So it's easy to conceive of Nurgle moon cultists.
>>96939185If it weren't for the horns, it'd be downright Subtle. Rotbros, we did it. We fucking Won.
>>96940495I'm half debating if I pick these guys up just slicing the horns down. Every guy having horns feels a bit much
>>969386762nd ed is better in every way
>>96938794He got most right on Nurgle including giant festus. I guess he knows about models but doesn't get info on here they get released
>Boole said CoS vs Nurgle>He just meant the fucking book coverdickhead
>>96938981Yeah, I like painting Nurgle stuff, and I can use the board game itself when my friends are over
>>96940652I wonder if the idea of the hex maps is that it will play closer to Underworlds with card gaming elements.
>>96940609just because they haven't been shown yet it doesn't mean that there aren't cos units coming after gw is done with nurgle
Was this good? Figure it's worth asking since there's gonna be a new book.
First Kurnothi model they've released that I don't like. Fan of all the other welf/centaurelf stuff so far but this is just...nah.
>like the idea of nurgles playstyle>slow, tanky as FUCK, debuffs and chip damage, can swing back like a fat dude with a wind up>a stark contrast to my mostly flimsy armies>models are gorgeous but look like absolute hell to paint at the level I like painting Also not a huge fan of nurgle in general, but again, stellar models. Wish there was a nicer looking and easier to paint faction that had a similar playstyle.
>>96940718They didn’t need to elevate the Mohawk-holder. It could’ve just been coming from the helm instead of the two little contact points.
>>96940718Weird that he's orange haired in the art, but model has black hair
>>96940734If I ever get my hands on the model I'll 100% be swapping the head and the terrible fakehawk thing is one of the major reasons lol
>>96940609he liked a post on TGA which said something like>boole assumed the heroes were CoS because they were a hodgepodge of regular people
>>96940256What's wrong in this list?
>>96939011>>96939020Leaker cock taste good, anons? Must be amazing given how you're slurping away on it.
the quality of this board and unfortunately, all of the internet outside of sanitized corporate e-dystopias has gone down the fucking drain because of pathological autism
Nurgle won big there are some models you could like more or less based on personal taste but this wave looks superb and moreover is fucking big.I’m very glad with the release and specially mah boi Festus upgrade.
>>96940822dude probably doesn't even lurk here to see it retard
>>96940900honestly he doesn't look like a demon prince
>>96940900I like him but do with they had the TOW thing of mounted and unmounted versions It stands out amongst Maggotkin and I hate every character being some giant points sink
>>96940923The Darkwater Daemon prince looks similar
>>96940923ikr? i hope khul gets actually big and have wings instead of depend of some shitty mount to look important
>>96940933no, that one is more mutated, he's got horns, hooves and fly wings in the backfestus falls in the same category as syllesske: just a human but biggerbut at least syllesske had the excuse of being a demon prince because gw wanted to bump their sales by having them available for 40k too
Man I saw the words 'autopsy of a failure' in the wild today, my mind instantly went to that grog copypasta that gets posted every so often and I just started laughing like an idiot in the middle of a store. Grogs win this round.
>>96940900Shit model.
>>96940971Lmao. It's gonna start happening with "Now that the dust has settled."
>>96940965Best couple of the whole Warhammer franchise
>>96940965>fly wings in the backNo?
>>96939795I really don't get the removal of the previous blightkings:they were not the only fantasy/end times modelsthey were not the only ones with a different aesthetic from the new releasesthey weren't competing with the role of the rotblades, who are a more basic unit, or the new elite infantry, which is more priestly with buffs and debuffs, and have a different vibe to the unit's aesthetic, they don't step on the foot of the blight templars either because those aren't getting out of the darkwater boxset anyway so why is it? is gw really that malicious they would kill the unit people already had and loved to force them to buy the new ones? is TOW stealing them alongside the first lord of plagues? is GW just going to eventually remove all nurgle models that weren't made during AoS, causing nurgle to shrink back into something pitiful as a range?
>>96941010Look better, that's not a cape, they call them out during the show too, but of course the audio is fucked.
>>96941037>is gw really that malicious they would kill the unit people already had and loved to force them to buy the new ones?Nigga if you have Blightkings you have Blightkings, nobody forces you to swap to a different sculpt of the same thing
>>96941045I would presume they're refering to what's painted like horns not the cape but those guys aren't a valid source of information either way >Radukar is an Ogor vampire
>>96941037even in the unlikely scenario they purge every non-aos sculpt and don't update the demons, it would still be a perfectly serviceable range
>>96941080>Nigga thinks Darkwater shit will actually be usable in AoS 4th edLolLmao, even
>>96941037Blightkings look like StD. The new Maggotkin have unique gothic armour designs and an emphasis on antler helmets.Blightkings come from WHF and hold continuity with Chaos Warriors. These new models look different
>>96940923I think he's fine, I think they wanted him to look pretty much the same kinda like the Sigvald daemon prince. He's already a big weird freak before, Nurgle just kinda promoted him in title and power level?
>>96941064>I would presume they're refering to what's painted like hornsThat makes no sense.He is pointing at the "cape", they call them folded fly wings, and you can see the support "veins" holding them.I don't know what to tell you.
>>96941092Everything but the Pestigors and Kelpie will be according to the article. Pox Wretches are getting a new kit afterwards. Otherwise the sprues are just repackaged >Gelgus Pust, his court of supporting characters, the Cankerborn, and Pox-wretches all join the carnival of corruption with their own warscrolls, and standalone boxes that will be released at a later date
>>96941037no one is stopping you from using the old models you ungrateful fuck, go buy them second hand if you want to use some old fuck models. I fucking hate nurgle players who get so much shit and demand more>>96941080>nurgle has more new models than tzeentch has total
>>96941114I see it now yeah
>>96941037Same reason the wight king on steed got replaced so quickly I'd guess, to better fit with nurgle's new wave of fallen knights. That being said I mean your old blight kings are still blight kings, this only sucks for people that didnt already own "old" blight kings and wanted to buy them.>>96941092Didnt they say they'd get warscrolls? The issue is whether they will remain in aos 5/6, or get fucked over like cc bloodborn/vargskyr/ogres. Those don't even have easy proxies, poor fuckers.
>>96941092I hope they add the druid to the battlemage box, it would fit so well.
>>96941115getting a standalone box doesn't mean they're getting a different kit.The kelpies might survive as part of the poxies unit, potentially since they're attached in their sprue and presented together on their socials. >>96939420
>>96941097sigvald is not a demon prince
>>96941149Yeah but Pestigors are on the same sprue too
>>96941154Shit really? I figured him coming back and ascending would entail a fucking promotion at least
>>96941163He didn't come back thrugh Chaos means
>>96937929I guess we got a month or so
TOW better get some Bret plastics because the new Nurgle shit is begging for headswaps
>>96941174Then why is he doubled in size and have horns? Shit, I feel silly now.
>>96941180ToW's not getting anything till summer 2026 lmao
If you don't like the new blightkings, buy the current set now and save yourself the bitching of "man, I miss the old ones". Everyone knows they're going away and you have several months to get the current kit.
>>96941193already gone
>>96941156pestigors are on the other half of the sprue, and the two halves are attached with a weird bump I have never seen in large sprues like these >>96939885what I'm suggesting is that they designed the moulds to be modular in this caseI'm trying to check if all the parts for the pox dudes are in that one half but it seems so from a cursory comparison.
>>96941209Literally look around online. The fuck are you doing buying from GW direct?
>>96941193>STOP HAVING OPINIONS AND CONSOOM AND PRAISE GW I'm not going to not call a step back a step back even when they're also making two steps forward with other shit
>>96941228Not what I said, retard. Congratulations on your illiteracy. I'm just putting it out there to curb the retards that will inevitably come in bitching about liking the old ones. They have plenty of time to buy them now. They'll still produce a few more runs, and are currently still abundant online stores. If you actually want them, get them because EVERYONE knows they're going away.
>>96941122Bird bros… Is looking grim…
>>96941228>I hate these new models>buy the old ones? Ew, I would never do that(you)
>>96941080Now finally the army is complete and is without a single doubt the best Chaos range currently. Maybe an hypothetical Slaanesh second wave could dispute that place but i doubt it.
>>96941212Interesting, it'd make sense because it seems like they'd need 3 of the Pox Wretch sprue and just 2 of the Pestigor, so maybe it's 2xWretch + Pestigors and 1xWretch + Templars They must have a modular mould halves rather than post production clips which makes you wonder how it'll be applied in the future
Tzeentch are now the only god-faction without their own themed Chaos WarriorsMaybe their next update
>>96941286Are myrmidesh warrior equivalent? I had them pegged as chosen tier.
>>96941286Hedonytes or new Rot knights? Which look better?
>>96941286No way Myrmidesh are on the same level. They are Skullreapers tier not your common warriors.
>>96941286GW please, Doom Knights are so fucking cool I need them.
>>96941299>>96941316Definitely closer to warriors: two wounds, 3+ 3+ Damage1 attacks
>>96941286when the hell James will remember Tzeentch exist and can be something else besides birds and buffed nerds?
>>96941335Fair enough, what about the other build? Symba-something Twinsouls?
Order of the Fly eating good
>>96941381They're a more defence-orientated version, but they're still priced, statted and of course based on 32mm the same as the Painbringers
>>96941335they are 5 man units though. warriors usually come in a unit of 10 and painbringers and twin souls are mirroring skullreapers and wrathmongers. since they are slaanesh, they are a less durable though.
>>96941286How would you guys go about making them? Bring back forsaken? A full unit of curselings? Kairic acolytes^2 ?
>Skullreaper>Painbringers>Rotknights>Tzeentch nothing burgerThat’s the actual scaleSame with blood reavers, Maurice, blissbarbs and new sniffers blind chads
>>96941458Just give them actual armored mutated warriors kinda like old forsaken. Reserve the Curseling-like unit for elite.
>>96941482*Kairics fucked that
>>96941329>>96941344I think it's be cool if Doom Knights were tattered and disheveled from being kept up by visions of the future and despite running on fumes were excellent fighters because they let themselves be controlled by magic that causes them to move unnaturally, almost like puppets.Also they should look like picrel instead of Chaos Warrior But Blue
What's going on with blightkings? Are these new ones like, much bigger in scale or something? I already have 15 of them, including some from the little cardgame and 2 conversions, and I wouldn't mind more, but did GW do a thing where they make them way bigger in scale so they don't match? I'm pretty sure the whole reason they're making them is so they can shrinkflate the kit to sell 3 for the price of 5.Last question but what is this Darkwater box going to probably cost? I know its going to be expensive but I haven't paid attention to GW boardgame prices in ages. $300? I'm sure it's going to be something guvking outrageous like that. I'm whining at this point but if its over $200 I'm going to be tempted to just filter all things warhammer and not see things I want and pretend new releases don't exist
>>96941482Question, are tzaangors fucking hated because GW puts them everywhere or because not cool-looking birdfolk?
>>96938752More than the face, I hate the black quills growing out of the neck like that
>>96941541tzaans are hated because the sculpts suck and they're lamer than their human counterparts and GW shoves them into everything
>>96941540Probably 2 things anon, they look chunkier, the antlers make them feel biggerOr you are possibly confusing them with the new nurgle "templars"? cause they indeed look bigger
>>96941541Because they stuck them in 40k as a boo boo band aid for thousand sons and they still don't have a good range compared to Death Guard who get all the love
>>96941555Those templars are so god damn cool, I hope I'm allowed to run multiple.
>>96941541In my case is a combination of 3 things: I hate beast men every single one, they died for a reason, keep them in hell, but if you are gonna add them do it like in Slaanesh or new Nurgle: 1 unit and that’s it. Second they made it like the nuclear branch of the army leaving Tzeentch with demons, 1 ONE single unit of mortals that sincerely doesn’t even look good and a bunch of those birds no one actually likes as the center.And third is pathetic for me what they did shoehorning those horrible looking birds into 40k too with the sole addition of pistols on some models, was lazy, and insult and unnecessary for Thousands Sons.
>>96941555Well I just didn't know if they were bigger or not. They certainly look more round and have big antlers, but it remains to be seen how well they'll blend in with a unit of the old guys in terms of scale and style. Do they have bigger bases now?. I really like them so I hope so. As for the Templar, I didn't know they were indeed larger.
>>9694154140keks hate Tzaangors bevause they didn't get more blue marines because of them
>>96941247>Not what I said, retard>>96941193>buy the current set now and save yourself the bitchingit's literally what you said
>>96941594tzeentchite players in AoS hate tzaangors too
>>96941602You don't have very good reading comprehension
Just had a thought since I'm not sure festus is gonna be the same size as Horticulus, probably gonna be on a mortarch base at 120mm. That's not too shabby, I still wouldn't say "massive" unless I guess I was comparing it to the original model.
>>96939073Definitely think two different teams worked on them. Some designers for AOS at GW seem to like putting a peculiar and weird design feature on their units to try to be unique. With Deadwalkers it was trees growing out of them for some reason. With this, it's like these weird wicker cords tied around part of their guts. Someone would have to explain the point of that to me.
>>96941541Tzaangor hate is mostly a 40k thing, where they keep cucking the tzeentch flavoured space marines by taking up all the space in their roster and boxes
>>96941193>Everyone knows they're going awayAnd pointing out that's bad is not allowed because...?
>>96941617>With Deadwalkers it was trees growing out of them for some reasonthose are roots, though that's a lot more obvious in their original cursed city incarnation
Now that the dust has settled, why did the Lumineth Realm Lords fail?
So are these guys gonna come in units of 10? Because they only show 8 in the preview for darkwater. Also 14 cultists(?)
>>96941602>>96941637I could say “I like pancakes.” and you stupid motherfuckers would say “WOW, SO YOU HATE WAFFLES?”
>>96941629You can ask any Tzeentch player if they would rather a release like the new Nurgle or get more birds instead, you may be surprised at the answer.
>>96941617I like how it was the trees growing through them and not the entire gravestones spiked through their backs, realistically the trees were the easiest bit to fix if you wanted to because you could just snip em off.
>>96941671I want to get this mini for my jar but I don't want to get the warbands, is there something I can look up on Ebay to single her out?
>Ghurish man cursed to turn into a labubu
>>96941671>Fail???????
>>96941692Already know how i'm painting him.Darkwater, more like DARKSHORE
>>96941692The worst model showed yesterday. I don’t get the point of this dude.
Trees turning into foxes now.
>>96941688I have the underworlds crew sitting gathering dust on my shelf anon. If I could give it to ya for 20 bucks I would.
>>96941704Furry bait, I have to assume it makes up 0.3% of the economy or something small but disproportionate like that.
>>96939801For Nurgle? Not sure, but it's not the first time Chaos has had bronze swirls for theme- the Dark Emissary had a bronze spiral-shield thing on his back back during the Albion Campaign. So I guess they're repurposing that for Nurgle dudes.
>>96941704The Ogor/Robot archetype, with a Ghyran theme
>>96941728I wanted a tatted up ogor lady with her tits out >:( (and also she's on fire)
>>96941713There has to be some way about it, maybe you could join the 1d6 discord or something and we can meet there? Your call.
>>96941724The Darkwater Emmisary was Celtic themed obviously, hailing from the ! England/Ireland of WHF
>>96941739if you got an invite send it my way I'll give it a shot, I'm trying to clean house a bit models wise.
>>96941673Oh shit yeah I think you're right, that's going to be very annoying. Maybe they'll be their own separate warscroll?
>>96941756if they come with extra bits some leftover Bestigors I've had saved up might come in handy.
>>96941744Indeed, anon. Dark Shadows was my introduction to Fantasy, back in the day. Shit was cash.
>>96941706Does he just grow a new staff everywhere he goes?
Can we get a new thread NOT made by the Chorf schizo?
>>96941673>So are these guys gonna come in units of 10? Because they only show 8 in the preview for darkwater. >Also 14 cultists(?)Weird. The sacred number of N*rgle is 7. 14 (2×7) cuck-tists makes sense. 8 Pestigors makes no sense.
>>96941789well see now that you've brought it up NOW WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO EXPLICITLY WORRY
>>96941789page 5 and still ages away from image limit, we're good for a while
>>96941704A self insert for edgelord "beast inside" players. It's goofy, but I still think it's better than the waterlady or the knightlady.
>>96941728>with a ghyran thememore of a ghur theme, surprisingly
> Warhammer Quest DarkwaterMore like DOGwater!
>>96941949I guess the kelpies count as dogs? more goats though.
>>96941949more like toiletwater hahaI'm still buying it
>>96941956Kelpie is a horse
>>96941675You did that by launching yourself against whoever had a negative opinion about this very specific issue.>I don't like that blightkings are getting discontinued>"WOW, SO YOU ARE NOMODEL?”
>>96941706>when the bark also bites
>>96941988these are moosses
>>96940256you asked them, the spearhead does suck.
>>96942014meese?
>>96940256>they're complaining the new spearhead sucks despite getting 3 fucking boxes of shitthese are two entirely separate things
>be really excited for new cathay, expecting something to stand out>see what was provided>its fucking nothing Not even the mages were standouts. They just looked...idk so plain for being something so showy? Even the high elf characters have more flair to them than those sculpts, and i hate high elves. oh but nurgle, bro the entire fucking release made me happy. I was just saying the other day how I wish gw would go deeper on occult themes, and they went HARD on it for nurgle now, I am absolute gonna go hog on the new range. I already have the previous ROR, I might get some stuff to supplement the priest dude.
>>96942052Didn't everyone know what to expect? It's just total war stuff
>>96942052I had zero interest in nurgle before but these new guys are exactly my jam, it's going to be hard to resist pigging out.Speaking of, no army set for the new stuff? Though I guess darkwater basically takes that role.
>>96942079I think they expected more wooshy spell effects and posing? Other than that, yeah it's pretty much just total war.
>>96941511nah, the doom knights should be nice and crisp, not dark souls knock offs. Forsaken of tzeentch make much better crusty units
gotta rebase this fucker if I want to run him as an actual daemon prince.
>>96942052it's dissapointingly very historicaly looking and none of them have any sort of strong fantasy feel to them. They're very detailed but just lacking in any core focuse or interesting theming, it's just "actual early modern chinese soldiers"
>>96942089I think the peasants look really good, personally. They've got some cool little touches, like their unit champion being an old retired Jade Warrior or their banners being dragon kites. The gun units are pretty dull though, and the Astromancer is just OK. Either way this 2nd wave is basically just adding Cathay's most basic bitch units compared to the first wave that had some fancier shit.
>>96941992That wasn’t me. That’s another anon calling out you and the other dudes lack of reading comprehension.
>>96942142To be fair, the only things added in this wave are the literal levy troops and cheapest, most common mages. GW could have instead added stone lions, or flying longma cavalry, or Celestial Dragon Guard, The General on Celestial Lion, the weird magic chariot thing, the Firebirds, The Onyx Crowmen, more Dragon siblings, etc etc. It's an update to add the chaff troops and basic ranged units, which are important to the army but not flashy at all.
do I give my deathbringer the cape or the skull drape I like them both equally
>>96942195Do not deny him his skulls.
>>96942189I dislike this arguement that chaff can't look interesting. I guess I'm biased as a KO and Tzeentch enjoyer because those are fantasy based factions, with no real world historical influence, but I think when GW applies themselves they can make some stellar looking units. The new chaos mauraders for example are awesome looking, and that's a pretty normal battle line unit.
>>96942227I mean, personally I think the Cathay Peasants also look fantastic. And these not-viking marauders aren't really any less historically inspired than the not-chinese farmer levies are. I was more responding to the idea that they aren't fantasy looking enough, whatever that means.
>>96942130when you put them next to each other the difference in paint level between old blight kings and the newly revealed stuff is hilarious.
>>96941988They were shapeshifter spirits but they used Horse form to lure children to ride them
>>96942326to be fair, its not that hard to paint the new models to that quality. Its quite achievable thanks to lack of mutations.
>>96942326I hope they painted up some alternate schemes this time around.
I just realized I'm missing a pdf of the 2018 maggotkin tome. Anyone still got it?
>>96939074>Ye've jaunted into some watery dung, cleanly one.

>>96942777Granted I'm not a nurgle guy but I was very impressed by this whole reveal. Cankerborn, sloven knights, rotswords and blight templars are all great and pretty much exactly what I would want. Seriously considering getting into nurgle now where I previously had 0 interest. Standout are the new blight kings, love these fuckers. That being said I do understand people being pissed about the old ones being retired, they weren't my favourite lookswise but looked insanely fun to hobby with.As for dissappointments, idk not feeling the main pestigors. They look like the blood bowl version which I really dislike. Darkwater ones are great though. I guess the main demon dude also isn't that amazing to me, not bad, just not blowing me off my feet either. Oh, and the poxwretches remind me of poxwalkers which I'm also not a fan of. They're a touch better though.
>>96942777checked

>>96942855The way the studio painted the skin on the unit champion is something else.
>Khorne has the Bloodstoker and Skullgrinder Herax>Slaanesh has Glutos Orscollion>Rotbringers are RotbringersTzeentch needs a fatty.

>>96942914wut
>>96942902>Tzeentch needs a fatty.Moo yourself, mortal.
>>96942943warcraftslop
>>96942902Tzeentch needs an army, period.A bunch of birds and a unit of naked masked nerds can’t be called an army.
by the way if anyone was wondering, the new nurgle spearhead is in a vacuum a pretty decent discount, came out to 186 yuros, which is like a 35% discount at current spearhead price. Thing is like 65 of those yuros are in the two kits of fucking nurglings. Not the most exciting box but if you like/want everything in it it's not bad to pick up.
>>96942967My main reason for interest in it legitimately boils down to the Warcry warband being present in it.
>>96942967it's a trap, the warcry kit will be retired in a few years and it barely matches the rest of the army's aesthetic, and the beast of nurgle is an overpriced monopose piece of shit
I am so pissed ask an IDK player that Cathay got a massive second wave not even 6 months after their premier! What the fuck?! We’ve been languishing for years! Aren’t we part of a main game?
Looking at the difference in quality between the nurgle miniatures and the hashut miniatures it looks like the latter were sculpted 10 years ago.
>>96943012mmm idk
>>96943012I know this is bait, but genuinely even a small wave like that would've done wonders for idk.
>>96943041Yeah the Nurgle sculpts once again bringing into the spotlight how dogshit Helsmiths of Hashut look. No wonder they flopped.
>>96943012Imagine how fyreslayer players must feel. They must be glad to have bought into AoS
>>96942929I'm sorry, I'd swear I saw a guy carrying a bell over a head either in this or a previous thread.
>>96942943The ogroid is uninspired, yet another bullhorn having unit. Take away the blue color and the staff and nothing about it looks like a tzeentch unit.
>>96942578You say you want the first edition battletome of Maggotkin of Nurgle? Well, here it is: files<dot>catbox<dot>moe slash gjgocw<dot>pdf
>>96942777>Least favouriteLiterally everything. There isn't a single model shown off for AoS today that I like. Bleak.
>>96942965seriously, it's embarassing that the main infantry option for non-tzaangor lists is naked sword and board dudes, so boring. Where's the cultists, the chunky doom knights, the forsaken, or any other kind of infantry?
>>96943083lemme guess you're an LRL player
>>96943069>imagine how fyreslayer players must feelkind of hard to when they don't exist.
>>96943091I'm always surprised by the lack of Cultist models for WFB and AoS given that Cultists are the main Chaos Enemies of the RPGs
>>96943056Dude, even just copy-pasting the Ikon 5 times to make a dual build unit instead of another god damned hero would've been fine. Embarrassing that this is called an army.
>>96943094Nope. I main Nurgle, but won't be getting any of the new shit.
>>96943127You don't play anything /v/edditor
>>96943129you're not in /40kg/ btw
>>96943116You would think with their whole thing being able to fly around on sea creatures that they would have more cavalry options but no, eels. Although as far as the quality of their models is concerned, I only don't like the Namarti and everything else i great. If they could just put out a second kit that gives the namarti full face covering helmets, it would be perfect.
>>96943145and you're not welcome here, be less obvious when you're crossboard raiding after reveals next time
>>96943116IDK seems like a failure of an army, just like LRL.The only succesful flavour of elfs are the vegetables and the killer ladies...
>>96943165the khainites are the least popular elf range actually, despite the gay memes
>>96943165Trying too hard
>>96943129>You don't play anything /v/edditorSuck my hole. I'm at work or else I'd post the rest of the models I own but this should shut you up for now.
>>96943154Helms from Sisters of Slaughter fit on the Namarti necks iirc.
>>96943188
>>96943198why are you running a slaanesh model for your nurgle army
>>96940701I bought it but have never read it or used it lol
>>96943214It's a Lord of Slaanesh on Daemonic mount for 1st edition AoS and I had nowhere else to store it lol I need to actually toss her back in with my other Slaanesh models before I forget where I put 'er
>>96939560This makes laugh, thank you
>>96940701didnt have much lore for it. Used it like twice and thats it. Hoping the new one actually has stuff going for it.
>>96943091Ackshually Kairic Acolytes fucking rock
>>96943129I'm >>96943198 still waiting for your reply, anon.
>>96943276no, they don't, they're not skinny or mutated enough
>>96943308>not skinnyThats how you make them fucking lame. >mutated enougheasily fixable, even if that fucks with their lore.
>>96943318you don't want tzeentch
>>96943322And you want something that fucks with their sword and sandal asthetic.
>>96943081Thank you.
>>96943333being skinny or mutated doesn't fuck with that, noand that aesthetic is not an imperative, nor shared in the rest of the range
>>96943342>and that aesthetic is not an imperative, nor shared in the rest of the rangetzaangors? The underworld stuff?
>>96943081Heh. Anals.
>>96943198lmfao it's the retard who builds kits identically
>>96943349>tzaangors?don't have it>The underworld stuff?are you genuinely clinging to another kairic to say that kairics aren't alone in their "sword and sandal" aesthetic?
>>96940173>>96940214Western world has spent the past 10 years creating worthless "artists" in the comic book world, you would have to go and hire old fags who ask too much.
>>96943366>don't have itGet your eyes checked
>>96943353>gets btfo'd>starts deflectinglike clockwork
>>96943378nta btw
>>96943198Tastelet and a hobbylet is truly a curse worse than death
>>96943373no youat best you could say they have a legend of zelda ocarina of time vibe to them
>>96939194I'll be honest, toads would have worked better for Blightkings. The idea of these jolly hulks hopping around on a toad is great and still enough Hieronymus Bosch for Nurgle.
>>96943198Are you the dude with like 3 sets of five identical blight kings lol?
>>96943390
>>96943378it's just funny you're crying about kits when Blightkings are wasted on you
>>96943422You literally have no idea what the aesthetic you claim they have entails.
Btw GW copied my idea of using diluted plaguebearer flesh and militarum green contrast paints over metal for the new rot sword and blight templar guys.I can't prove it because I never took pictures, but I tried that colour scheme in 2021 on some old chaos warriors and it slapped
now that the dust has settled why did Maggotkin flop?
>>96943431>make extremely modular kit filled to the brim with options>they just build the same 5 dudes over and over again>decide to give these fuckers 10+ more kits to play and do nothing withTruly being an idoneth enjoyer is a test of immeasurable suffering
>>96943521>>96943521>>96943521
>>96943455Wait, how diluted....
>>96943444are you asking me to define a swords and sandals asthetic to you?
>>96943371It's really only a US issue, the UK market is still making decent stuff, and Mainland Europe comics are still generally good.Some Italian comic artists even did a lot of well-liked official Warhammer art for WFRP, i think.
>>96938027The fashion sense of a Roman newsreader.>The flock of Sigmar the Unfaithful encroaches on our flyblown land! Our Prince of Sores, beloved by all, has issued a call to arms to repel these interlopers. To arms, brothers-in-sickness! This month's public bread has been produced by the Brotherhood of Pustuled Hands. The Brotherhood uses only the most rancid flour for breadmaking. True Rotbringer bread for true Rotbringers!
>>969435312-3 contrast medium to 1 contrast for militarum green, 2-1 for plaguebearer flesh. The cool part is combining them on the mini
>>96943585My issue is more with the guys who write the stories than who does the art.
>>96938043>>96943598I can definitely see it when i first saw it i though it was suppose be something like a celtic kilt
>>96939534Teclis really let himself go
>>96943598You honestly made me like the new Blight Kings a little bit by that comparison.
>>96939560This made me laugh, thank you
