I don't care what you say, that Nurgling is a damned hero. So is the hooded one on Rotigus' base.

Of course he is; he’s got all the gear after all:
• Sword bigger than he is
• Only One Shoulder Pad
• Cloak of Awesome
• Heroic Pose (with Portable Rock™)
Check, check, check, aaand check!

Nurgle seems suitably gruesome.

Pretty decent trolling on WHC's part, with the gift wrapped preview mini being a pint sized Nurgling instead of the epic hero everyone, myself included thought it would be. I ain't mad at it.

Well played.

And you know the people that design the Nurglings love their jobs.

Indeed, that was very well played!

It's killing me to wait for the Order hero but that was top-notch.

I may have to make a Nurgling champion in the new RP systems when they release. Those guys are too awesome!

The blight kings riding fly's are almost enough to make me want to play nurgle....almost.

What I’m really liking about the GUO is there jovial sculpts.

The one with the sword? You know full well that a single swipe will cut through a rank, but there’s no malice in the face.

I like the new GUO, the throwbacks to the older art/designs are really good. I particularly like the size, it's big enough to be appropriate for a greater daemon but it doesn't overshadow real centerpiece models like Glottkin or the exalted GUO. And that special character sculpt is crazy awesome. The extra face coming out of his arm, the maggot tongue on his main head... All sorts of cool.

I wouldnt call it trolling. I tough it was pretty much obvious thst it was a gift wrapped nurgling.

Must say thay the guo sc and the other variant are much better than the first one we saw. There is still a third variant that we havent seen

The heroic pose and a remaining Order hero are more the trolling parts. It was likely a Nurgle unit but the cape and rock brought to mind either said hero or a Nurgle knight rather than such an easily overlooked fellow.

To be honest, if I was swinging that I'd be smiling too.

I see those base nurglings selling insanely well lol.

Either way, love the new kit.
Especially the SC version.

The SC is the third variant.

"Maggotkin of Nurgle"? That's a horrible name. What about the classic "Children of Nurgle"?

Just reminds me of this old vid, but Maggotkin is an actual title that's been used before.

That great unclean one is an absolute success. I prefer the 2 horned imo.

I still prefer the Glootkin. I will will convert mine to be a GUO instead.

I'm glad that the named GUO is a variant on the same sculpt. With that and Fatey, it feels kinda bad for Khorne to need a separate pack for Skarbrand.

Well there goes GW copyright. Guess a new name will be happening soon.

Yeah, I'm hoping they eventually repack that other sprue with the other Bloodthirsty kit, but I'd be afraid they'd have to jack up the price of the kit to do that.

Those voices are from one of the games. Mark of Chaos.

Guess I am wrong. Speakers not great on my laptop and not having my head phones on, I thought it was screamo music (or what ever it's called) . Couldn't get the volume up higher so hard to make out. Still can't believe I thought it was screamo music.

Wow, new models look awesome.

3 GUO heads? I'm expecting to see some 2 headed Greater daemons or old school predator nurgle tanks.

Lots of potential for mixing heads and arms with the glottkin model

Would be great if the daemons codex happened to have a named Keeper of Secrets in. If it does not (as is likely) then there will either be extra rules to buy if we get one, or just no named keeper ever.

Get thee behind me Satan!

Tempt me not Frodo!

Haven't played with my Death Guard in ages, not gonna restart... not gonna...

I've only just realised the wrapped up nurgling is the one with the sword and cape brilliant.

I have 0 nurgle, but I'd love to get my hands on that sword and cape nurgling That's an amazingly fun model

Did you lot notice the other awesome Nurgling dressed as a sorcerer on Roticus' base?

Far right I think is the new character, Lord of Blights, that is mentioned as being able to give some "much needed ranged capabilities".
