I kind of like the snail. It reminds me of something from berserk. Paint it to be less kid friendly looking and you can probably have something really gnarly looking. Does it only belong to the special character though?

OH MY GOD YES, THANKS! I have been all day "Seriously this desing for a slug/snail reminds me of something"

Spoiler:

Yeah, the first thing I thought of when I saw it was the Count. I think it has something do with the feet and the mouth.
GW can actually learn a lot from berserk in terms of demon design. There's some really wicked stuff there.

Indeed! I`d buy that type of minis pretty quick.. I wasn`t familiar with Berserk before, but the art style and monsters of it I found on google may sway me to reading my first ever Manga.
Oh, and now I know what heavily inspired Kingdom Death.

And as to the slug: I think I`ll be joining the "I want that mini to convert and paint" crowd.

**Galas**

Go ahead and read Berserker. Is pretty brutal, but is provably the most western manga out there, both in art Style and story. Prpbably one of the best mangas for begginners in the médium.
But ill stop the offtopic here, sorry.

Sweet Omnissiah, this is an abomination.

I see at least 3 rumour engine pictures solved.

Yes, it is god awful. Like the new spiderman movie that was made to attract a younger crowd, this "model" is GWs way to reach out to the grade schoolers... It's hokey and terrible. I like my scifi to be a bit more mature and actually scarey.

That's ok. I'll wait to see what the real hobbyists can do with it.

**deleted20250424**

I'm pretty sure that's Seymour from Little Shop of Horrors on the back there.

Good thing this guy is for fantasy :-P

**xerxeshavelock**

I like it. I've always felt that fantasy has more latitude for this sort of thing. Compared to Logan Grimnir on his sleigh, or even most 40k tanks and fliers this is far more in keeping with the subject material.

I love that snail thing. The Nurgling looks like he enjoys himself a liiiiiittle bit too much. Kinky stuff.

The whole model is weird, though, not sure if it'd fit in an army. It's more like a diorama.

Yeah, and I think that's why I don't like it. I don't mind occasional humor, but this looks like a bizarre Alice in Wonderland model they shoe-horned into AoS...it doesn't even fit the AoS aesthetic or match with any of the models. I hope it's not an indication of the future of Nurgle daemons.

Now I, for one, will probably buy 3 of them and attempt to convert at least two of them. Its such a great model and really fits the Nurgle aesthetic, although in a different way to the Glottkin and maggoth lords.

I actually have the shoulder area of Ghurk left over (one day I'll sculpt him shoulders and a sword arm so he can be a GuO, I swear I'll get around to it one day!) and wanted to use it as a shrine of sorts on a Rhino or Land Raider. It might also work to make a sort of horn-crested snail to use as a palanquin or mount out of the snurgle. Great nickname, btw.

Seymour was the nerdy little dude that owned the flower shop.

**Verviedi**

I kinda want one of those snails, to paint like Gary. I'll have to see about splitting a box, and gifting the other Nurgle to another friend of mine.

Yea, it's been ages since I've watched it. Seymour was the only thing that came to mind.

**Baron Klatz**

Hmm, I was on the stance that I love it but not a Nurgle collector so no go, however now I'm wondering about a Order conversion and replacing the daemon with a farmer kitbashed from Free Guild and undead bits for peasant parts...

**zamerion**

Now, rumour engine will be on tuesday

**Inquisitor Gideon**

Hm, reminds me of the underside of the Arachnarok spider.

**Verviedi**

Looks like some trypophobia trigger image to me.

**lord_blackfang**

obviously a lotus seed.

**dan2026**

Looks very Nurgle.
Like some sort of hive or insect eggs.

**Dryaktylus**

Resin.

**Messiah**

Im guessing it's Typhus' backpack.

**CMLR**

Plastic either GUO's or BoN's tummy belly.

Pretty please.

**KaptinBadrukk**

I'm betting this week's rumour from the rumour engine is something nurgle.

Of course, August 2nd is what I'm racking my brain trying to figure out.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

I see it and think 'blistering barnacles'.

Which betrays my age to those in the know.

**feugan**

@MadDocGrotsnik - did you also look at the Kharadron Overlords and think "Ten thousand thundering typhoons!"?

**MadCowCrazy**

This one is now solved:

Necromunda Terrain/Objective

This one as well:

**Thargrim**

I'll be befuddled if the whole cthulhu elf thing was just us being crazy and they never were meant to exist in the first place. I did not expect that tentacle thing to be Necromunda related.

I always thought htis cthulu/deep elves thing was just a meme that a bunch of people clung on too ? The evidence for it was mostly one of two tentacles and a lack of elves.

From the fluff and silver tower we should be expecting more shadowy/demon elves than outright fishy/aqua elves.

**Baron Klatz**

Yeah but there were small elements there with dark elves always having a connection to Krakens and the deep, the silver tower sorceress using mists and madness, the assassin jumping off a tentacle, Malerion having a warped monstrous form.

That and the Overlords being Victorian steampunk which Lovecraft is associated with certainly helped for their perceived image.

**MadCowCrazy**

Is this one also solved?

Without seeing the back of the model it will be hard to know for sure but I think it looks allot like it and the model does seem to be wearing a cloak of some sort?

**Baron Klatz**

Ohh, maybe!

(Also, head-canon that's another flip-off to PETA)

**Verviedi**

I'm thinking we've been trolled with regards to the Deep Elves.
