I dunno the rules seem pretty uninspired, I expected to see something along the lines of poisoned weapons or other abilities rather than just nicking the "Armed ta da Teef" rule from Black Orcs and slapping it onto these new guys. Then again given the recent codices I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

It'd just be stupid to release models that appear to be Warriors of Chaos for 40K, no?

I this real though???? Seems like some bs unit that makes no sense

I'm assuming they're called Blightkings because Blightknights were taken?

These are on 40mm bases. They're giant armoured Plague Bearers. That sound like a perfect Elite choice for Chaos Daemons army.

But they are clearly marked as infantry. Not Monstrous infantry. Just because there is a picture does not make it legit.

Whoops! I read the 40 points per model as 40mm base. Not sure why.

That's fine. Added to that though, they are multi-wound models. There aren't any non-character infantry models with multi-wounds in the game. Really fishy!

You mean the models that we can barely see since the pic is so small and blurry ?

Thanks to years of eating carrots, I can shoot the fleas off a dog's back at 200 yards, so I've no problem with this 'blurry' image

So GW is getting back to it’s roots?

I kid, I kid…

I'd love for GW to go back to its roots, especially 1980s prices

To be fair to GW, if somebody posts better pics, then I'm big enough to say that I was wrong, if different pics paint these models in a better light.

But I'm rarely wrong, and I stand by what I said. If these models turn out to be better than so-so, I'll bare my backside in front of GW HQ

Pretty sure that's a typo, they're 3W each, they're clearly monstrous infantry.

They're definitely 40mm based. If those are 25mm bases, they're the size of nuglings.

In this day and age, I don't know why people insist on taking photos with potatoes instead of a decent camera. For what its worth, I bet this guys will make nice chaos ogryn.

It's $92 AU for 5 of them.

I'd believe GW are charging that much for 5x 25mm base nurglings before I believe that they'd sell 5x ogre sized models at that price.

After looking at better pictures of them, I have to say I'm in love. To bad I don't play woc and although I play chaos in 40k they don't seem to be 40k compatible. Odd choice GW, odd choice

Hopefully they realized they were pricing themselves out of their market, and are adjusting. But instead of broad sweeping cuts, they are keeping with their "change price for new units" practice, which they’ve been using since they got rid of the yearly June price bump.

…And now I’ve blown through my optimism quota for the week, thanks.

Do tell where you find this banner.

The Mexican Ork Facebook Page has images of the rules for this weeks releases.

better pics

They look at least Ogre sized to me.

Well, that's my Chaos Ogres covered.

Or, you know, you could post the source for these pics... (via warseer myself) :

the first one on the right would make a pefect herald of Nurgle in 40k. The rest don't have a lot of 40k potential

Are those buildings in the background old kits, or conversions, or..?

Really? The Warp is a realm of infinite possibilities- who's to say they wouldn't have that kinda thing in 40K?

Just to get some positivity in a GW thread: if they really are 40mm, that's a pretty darn fair price.

Those look hella cool, especially the one with the bell.

They definitely are.

Does it sound like we will be able to mix all chaos then? Since these guys can be taken in a Beastmen list? Would be a bit wierd to just see this group of nurgle fanatics with beastmen.

It was in the OK book that was before the current one. A 60pt banner called the "Dragonhide" which as a secondary ability (primarily it provided rerolls on all rolls of 1 made on a charge) made you immune to ice magic. A lore used by a single special character (Ice queen of Kislev) in a single sub-faction.

But I'm going OT here...
