The Plaguebearer in the top row, second one from the left, looks like he has a Nurgling hanging from his balls...

Maybe it is not hanging from his balls, but IS his balls... nurglings are really just Plaguebearer's whose balls have fallen off.

Can we please move the SoB talk into a different thread?

Thanks!

If this is real, then outr release schedule changes, That back cover looks like a dark angel / chaos space marine clash, indicating at our starter box in september. That also indicates no flyers within august, which might mean that the september chaos space marine codex is pushed back to october and flyers and starter box is highly unlikely, As I suspect the hype up and advertising will take up september, so much that the possibility of other races getting new models in september seems unlikely. If this is so, we may see a chaos book after the box, indicating an wearly september realease, considering, if we give a week for white dwarf to come, and GW to sell you the box, that the 4th would be a likey date. Give them 2 weeks to finish promotion, and a week to advertise the book, we may see the chaos book back wend of september, maybe 28th. That then mens a week to promotee that book, but then I'm guessing a week of no release, then another week to promote, could mean a mid-october dark angel codex, then a eldar release. close after That would mean another 2 weeks off, GW wouldn't treat us to an immediate release of course. So, If we leave them a month to relax and promote, we have a november flyer release, before GW sits back and sells us the Dark Angel and Chaos megaforces (Because, if they've did it before, they will again. AoBR cam out, what where the years megaforces ? You guessed it, Space marine and orks.) and I'd get at a fantasy boxes beging Vampire counts and Empire. Im noticing no major fantasy updates in my schedule, so maybe novembers free spot to be occupied by something fantasy, I doubt a codex, maybe new models for some of the brettonians (Doubt it) or maybe Chaos Warriors (Awful lot of chaos love this year, with the beastmen finecast, deamon models and CSM codex, why cant my warriors get a nice model or two ?). I think the only unheard of races for updates this year, are Wood elves, Skaven, Chaos Warriors, Brettonian and Dwarfs. Feel free to pick me up on anything.

$40 USD for the Blue Scribes? They won't sell more than 10 of those things.

Their also incredibly easy to convert for a cheaper price, they look hideous, and not in a good Citadel hideous.

As a Daemon collector, I will unfortunately have to buy the FC (shudder) Scribes. So that leaves 9 other guys to fill the quota.

What I want to know is whether the Exalted Chariot is simply a bundle, or does it contain an extra sprue or FC bits? In other words, pre-order or not?

Another fun fact: The German GW stores and Indies got their WD without the booklet
... but after a busy day GW promised to send them in a second package until Friday

Ouch. Good that they are fixing it though.

I'm liking the new daemon models!
But seriously, get 2 kits sell them for the price of 2 kits and sell it as 'limited edition'? classic GW...

I wonder how the chariots will go in games, they are only Av11 with 2 hp and they cant stay locked in combat, they do have a pretty high damage potential should they hit something though.

Also 40pts for a chariot is pretty cheap I reckon.

Wrong thread

Wait till you guys see the boost that Flamers got plus the significant points drop.... I am still giddy!!!

Is there a post that shows the stat lines for the updates?

Yeah, there's some people who simply don't care about it, so they don't, obviously.

I like it a lot and would run Sisters if the models weren't so dang expensive.

I'm actually in the same boat. I've been picking up used sister modles on the cheap anytime I get a chance, but by the time I get enough to play a game the plastics are probably going to be out. lol

I know my friend is going to be pumped his Nurgle Deamons are no longer in that boat. XD

Damn it, those new Slaanesh chariots are now making me want to paint a slaanesh daemon army with traitor guard allies...

Griever wrote:$40 USD for the Blue Scribes? They won't sell more than 10 of those things.

I'd buy one. Blue Scribes are awesome, that model looks cool.

The limited edition chariot looks like a pain to paint. All those spiky wheels...

it's what airbrushes are made for!

Didn't the mods say we should STOP talking about Sisters in this thread? Just saying...

Squigsquasher wrote:The limited edition chariot looks like a pain to paint. All those spiky wheels...

Spraypaint/airbrush/whatever you want to call it, and then only use the brush to touch up a few details on each spike, is my recommendation.

Oh my Gork, the Nurgle demons look terrible!
The Nurglings are a feature-less mess and the Plaguebeares lack the gross-out feeling of the last metal models.

The Scribes are cool, but I don't play Tzeentch.

Eh even though they do look like farm machinery I think Im probably going to end up getting some chariots.

I did already plan to convert some so now it saves me the hassle.

I really like the chariots... It will be annoying if the exalted is just two regular ones mooshed together (I like that word... mooshed...) Regardless, I think it would make a fine addition to an allied Daemons army (unless I go IG which I still might, waiting on my CSM codex to come out) regardless, I like this chariot.

I think the Plaguebearers look fitting and are more inline with Kugath (all antlery and stuff) Plus they are distended and gross looking. I think people are reading far too into their current paint job to appreciate the models.

How can you not like the Nurglings, they have always been a sort of Daemonic comic relief in my eyes. Little mischievous daemons that harass and annoy. (They remind me of the little gremlins from Looney Toons... this is a good thing in my opinion)

At $40 the blue scribes are indeed expensive, but how long have we all waited for them to have a model? I think it is perfect depiction of the blue scribes and to me is almost a diorama of "a day in the life" of blue scribes.

Screamers... glad they are plastic and HOLY CRAP they seem to be formidable in 40k now.

Flamers... again, glad they are plastic... although I do not know why they made what little changes they did to these little guys (miniature wise, they basically look the same) Although, nice changes on their cost/stats/combat/etc.

That's exactly how I've always seen these creatures. Hard to be taken seriously as individuals until they bite you or hundreds of them run towards you.

Exactly. I do not think any swarms should be taken seriously (image wise) some might be creepier than others, (I scarab swarm from Tomb Kings is pretty creepy but does not look it) I think the Nurglings look exactly as they should, better than the old ones that looked like miniaturized Greater Daemons of Nurgle, these look like miniature Kugaths and can we all agree that Kugath looks a LOT better than the summoned greater daemon? I mean one is all... I am going to pause here. What I keep referring to as Kugath is the Forge World Great Unclean one, Regardless, this is what the new nurglings look like miniatures of while the old ones look like miniatures of the old great unclean one and can we all agree that the old great unclean one looks the sculptor was.. drunk, high, and bulimic when they sculpted it? It looks like they threw up, thought "I bet I could make art out of that pile of vomit... " Then proceeded to "create" a great unclean one out of their vomit.

Kugath (Forge World Great Unclean One) + new nurgling = new face of Nurgle (still rotten, infested, bloated, and appropriate) vs. Pile of vomit (GW Great Unclean One) + mini piles of vomit (old Nurglings) = old face of Nurgle, undefined piles of vomit (which would be more appropriate for the God of hangovers, not the Plague Father)

Idk if everyone noticed it but compared to a few things they made a couple kits cheaper, i still perfer my sky sharks over the screamer kits.

Flamers dropped in price by about $1.33 per model. Converting Daemonette Chariots from existing models is now more expensive than the models released and that's without the thresher thing on the back. Screamers dropped a little more than $2 each on the conversion from metal to plastic. Plaguebearers went from $55 to $29 which is pretty nice too.

If it existed and is now coming out in plastic it's cheaper (cept nurglings, they stayed about the same cost).

And the models are nice..and most importantly plastic!!!!
