I just wish the nurglings looked a little more decayed. Did Papa Nurgle not love them enough?

Hulksmash wrote: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!!!!

wich just made me making a tallymaster from scratch 25 bucks cheaper

I agree. Making the tally master IS that much cheaper. I have been looking for one used on E bay and have missed a few crucial deals (stupid slow connection). Likewise i am looking for the old metal plague bearers as i have been vacilating wildly over the new plague bearers.

Exalted Chariot and 2-3 boxes of plague bearers for me. First I was not happy about the daemons coming out instead of DA or chaos but now am excited. Maybe nurglings, not sure I wanna spend $25 on 3 bases.

I don't understand the hate over the plaguebearers-they look so much better than the derpy current metals. Now, previous edition metals that had boils, sores, a big eye, a tongue wagging out and were bulky...those are better. But the metals that are currently phasing out suck hardcore. They suck harder than a fledgling pornstar. I, for one, welcome our new pus-laden brethren.

I like the fledgling pornstar versions. The new ones just look funky. I have been waffling a bit on the appearance and they just dont look like GW put much effort into them. I want to like them since they are so much cheaper but really, i dont know if i will pick any of them up. Maybe. Maybe.

After playing around with photoshop a bit I think the problem I have with the plaguebearers is the paint job. I think they'd probably look fine with some cleanup of extraneous goo and a better paint job.

So now that Slaanesh gets updated/replaced Heralds on chariots. Does this bode well for a new Tzeentch Herald on chariot? I may not use them as much as I did in 5e, but if this quality is what we can expect, I'll hold out instead of making a more permament kitbash.

even though I said how much I disliked the new daemons (and still do) what I am really happy to see is the little update booklet. hopefully this is a sign that rather than waiting for new codexs to come out, armies can get support without a full update while GW works on the new codex

Maybe my dreams of less expensive Beastmen Rares will come true!

GW has taken down the leaked video haha.

Surprising update but I'm grateful for new rules and models.

Still unsure which Flamer model I prefer, might as well have both for variety.

Surely Chaos is begin to grow once again.

Because when you take it off YouTube surely it will be gone from the internet.. Silly GW.

Probably not until the codex gets an update, which may be a year or more. Honestly, I'd say with the plastic screamers you could make a pretty cool chariot. Obviously it may be out done by a proper kit, but I don't think it's worth waiting indefinitely.

Not sure if it's news at this point but Wayland have just put up pre orders for the new demons boxes. One assumes all the usual suspects are doing the same.

You could always sculpt some more decay onto them with a little bit of greenstuff

Also I wonder how they would look if combined with Imperial Guard bitz? Would it look like some cool looking Nurgle Guard?

I'm just waiting to see how the Soulgrinder is gonna work in fantasy. Of coarse I'm gonna have to get several layers of dust off mine. As for the nurglings, I saw where it says that 10 of 'em come in the plague bearers box so I may just use them to model my swarms. As for the PB, I love the fact that they are plastic and I like the look, just some really icky colors and some shiney slime and interals and viola!

Heh, GW has yet to figure out that leaks get people excited. Excited people buy white dwarfs.

Wondering how does that work out... you preorder and they promise to deliver on the 4th? or do you have to wait undetermined time as usual?

I can't imagine GW will give them a mass of stock, before the official release date, so it could be shipped for delivery on the 4th

You'll (almost cerainly) have to wait

You could try Maelstrom (if you use them) if you want to pre-order as they've got a 20% off GW (Black Library, Citadel Hobby, Lord of the Rings, Warhammer Fantasy Battle, Warhammer 40,000) code GW-SUMMER, valid till 6th August INCLUDING pre-orders (a nice amount off)

They're up...

Plague Bearers look a lot better in the official non blurry pic IMHO. The detail around the faces was obscured in the earlier leaked images.

So the exalted chariot IS limited.. hmm

I reckon the only limited hing about it is an exalted seeker chariot instruction manual

i placed a pre order for the limited kit....i picked up my copy of the rulset today, should i stick with the build for the exhalted chariot or try to squeez two out of it?

The new Plaguebearers look great, as do the Nurglings.

Matt.Kingsley wrote:I reckon the only limited hing about it is an exalted seeker chariot instruction manual

not even that.

GW, in the seeker chariot description wrote:If you buy two of these boxes you will be able to make one Exalted Seeker Chariot of Slaanesh - an immense construct of four Daemonettes as well as four steeds, not to mention even more threshing blades. The instructions for making this kit are included within the box. Please add two of these boxes to your cart in order to make this model.

Are the rules changes limited to seekers and flamers or are other models rules/points costs as well?

The new models are so awesome. The new screamers are beautiful, as is everything nurgle. And finally, I won't constantly be super gluing metal demons back together. Most of all, I am actually kind of amazed at the price point on the plastics. I had thought GW would be charging more for them.

The Blue Scribes look worse than I thought Take any two plastic horrors, some book and scroll bits and maybe get a few of those bookracks from the Empire altar and glue them together.

I really like the subtle updates to the Screamers, and the chariots definitely are making me Slaanesh-curious (the two chariots smashed together doesn't impress me though). Hm, i wonder what combining that with the Vampire Counts chariot might look like ...

Oh, does this finally settle what base the 40K chariots should be on? I know people were doing cheesy stuff like putting them on biker bases.

One thing i hate is they made the save on my fave unit worse...ill guess ill spam more to compensate

How dare they LOWER prices on models..... That's just. Crazy!! Grumble grumble. GW must only be after my loyalty. Whatever happened to wanting my cash?? GW is going to pot... I tell you!



Sorry..... Just thought I would Provide the necessary grumble about price on a new release. The models look neat though, and it's good they get an update. Even if it's a WD SOB'ing. Does this mean they will be starter kit, or provide more evidence of chaos getting it and a new book soon?what about the mandatory SM release now? Or I guess DA might get the same deal- a WD update?
