Emphasis mine.
Not the first time, but the first time I've noticed this for some time.
Bravo GW, little things like this make all the difference.
They did the same for Nagash and the Mortarchs.

There hasn't been any word yet on what is going to come out rules wise yet. I assume it will have updated rules or special rules for many of the units from chaos warriors, daemons and beastmen.
The book hasn't been released yet either and isn't up for preorder nor do we have any leaked images of the cover or any other rules or models but I am sure that will come soon enough.
Doubt it will focus only on nurgle but some people are saying most releases are focused on one god so I am not sure.
1) The story line is progressing. This is actually pretty cool. GW learned they couldn't leave it to customers to do it after Storm of Chaos so they are doing it themselves.
What actually happened with Storm of Chaos? I've heard a lot of veiled references to how bad it was, but never why.

It was the WFB equivalent of XIII Black Crusade, a world altering event based on the results of games played out across the globe. Never mind the issues with keeping track of legitimate results and weeding out the filler chaff, GW essentially gave it's customer base the tools to completely re-write WFB, down to the point of handing chaos forces the ultimate victory in the Old World and erasing human, dwarf and elf forces there.
It was design by committee, only much, much worse.

Except unlike the 13th Black Crusade, in Storm of Chaos tge Chaos players did incredibly poorly. They completely failed to reach Middenheim in time so ended up 'teleporting' there in one day just so we would get a climax. Important characters did nothing important, major characters were killed only to be resurrected again because why not, characters faught their nemesis' but neither won, major events were promised but ended up having no consequences, so all in all nothing happened and the status quo remained at the end. It was entirely anti-climactic and disappointing.
I haven't read the first end times book yet but from the sound of things the status quo is actually changing, so thats a big step in the right direction.
Reckon this perhaps shows the new new/forthcoming Nurgle beastie.

That "Thing" actually looks really good. Right arm could be a ranged attack even though there are inward pointing horns or teeth around the edges. Would be great though to have something to shoot with since i dislike the hellcannon miniature. We shall see!

There's several more weeks left. I'm sure the other gods will see some love.
(and before i hear anything about Tamurkahn, yes yes i know, but it was known up front that Tamurkahn was going to be mono-god back when warhammer forge had grandiose plans. I'm still bitter they didn't do the HE / Slannesh warhammer book they promised).
Really taken with this kit. It looks like it'd be great for a Realm of Chaos type affair. Small warbands playing out skirmish rules.
I'm assuming Nurgle's surge to power is due to all the death that's floating around, or are the four gods just a prevalent?
It would be nice to see standard chaos warriors get a decent, fully armoured, kit.
Automatically Appended Next Post: I really wish they'd put the title of the tracks they use in their videos up. I knew it was from the space marine soundtrack but couldn't quite place it at first.
They are good at recycling the music from the games. Space Marine does actually have a great OST, whether you like the game or not.

Whilst it'll be a big kit, giant really, I don't think it'll be quite Stompa sized.

Wellll, maybe not Stompa sized, but from what I've read it was supposed to be their second largest kit just behind the Stompa, right? I suppose we'll find out soon enough!
I must say, the pricing on these Nurgle orges seems actually pretty reasonable. I'm not sure if this is GW trying to encourage WHFB sales, but if so I think they're on the right path.
Now if they could just get army size under control with WHFB...

I bought the 10 + character bundle, as I can take it with my Beasties and I'm a completionist. That and the models look amazing.
Hoping they combine the Chaos lists in the next End Times book, as I got plenty of projects lined up if they do!

I seriously hope them being infantry is a typo.. That makes absolutely no sense for 40mm models with 3Ws to not be monstrous. Thats basically the entire premise of monstrous infantry (Infantry with multiple wounds)..
If not then might as well keep these on the shelf

While 40pts per model, if you have a unit of 5 or more of these, I'd say youd have quite a powerful unit with 3 wounds apiece. Plus why would they be monstrous infantry? They're just Chosen of Nurgle when it comes down to it.

I think it's because they have 3Ws with Mark of Nurgle, T5 and Chaos Armor+Shield that they're not Monstrous Infantry.
You give that combination of things immunity to Killing Blow and quite a few armies might struggle.

Would have been nice if they were strength 5 like Splume.
You don't see many rank and file, non-monstrous infantry units with S5. Especially not with the combination of HW+Shield(for a 6+ Parry Save in addition to their Chaos Armor+Shield armor save...), Great Weapon, or 2x HW.
The fact that they are T5 alone is kind of surprising, let alone the whole 3Ws, Chaos Armor+Shield, and Mark of Nurgle.

You're just jaded to the prices already...couple of years when GW released Deathwing Terminators for €45 per 5 models, people were up in the arms...now, similar price level feels just "meh".
