The GW site claims 27 different combinations for the nurglings are possible, which is useful info, unless of course you're like me and want to get more than three piles out of the box. Surely there are some sneaky tactics with the sprues that will make this a difficult venture. Still they look awesome, and the plaguebearers do too as well.

Nurgle never had a good range of mini's till now, will get myself some Plaguebearers and a Beast but not much else.

Now that we also that WD will be housing exclusive Daemon rules:

Make sure you get a copy of this month's White Dwarf if your even remotely interested in the model range. Phone your LFGS or GW directly. Reserve a copy for yourself.

Because once those articles are gone, there is no legal way save for very expensive Ipad purchases and digital copies to get your hands on the rules.

So there's some update booklet for Daemons? Is it available as a PDF on GW's site?

Huh.

Seriously.

Those Nurgle daemons have disappointed me. They just look so disappointingly dumpy, especially compared to the previous metal counterparts. Sure, cheaper...but....eh.

Ah well.

As a sisters of battle player who has had to borrow a friends whitedwarf on a more..permanent basis you are preaching to the...terrible pun.

Rules are out, isn't this just discussion at this point? Time to move, right MODs?

I know we can't "share" on the forums, but those of us with scanners can be PMed for copies... right?

I love the plaguebearers and nurglings. I also love that insane slaanesh chariot thing, but fortunately I am resistant to the lure of Daemons.

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.

Typical GW

Wow, I'm actually pretty stunned by the new daemonette chariot. It's going to look real good on the table.

I disagree actually. The daemonettes on the chariot look awful, I'll never understand why they got rid of the 'sexy' version of them and it's such a shame too as the chariot itself looks really good. I mean the older ones looked deadly and femanine, exactly how Slannesh daemons should be... these ones look like slowed crab-unsatisfied sexual desires cartoons from an anime boys sketch pad.

The nurgle daemons look far too cartoony, the last generation of them.. although metal were far more gothic and sinister in nature, how soul devouring daemons probably should look like. Surprisingly enough the Blue Scribes are probably the best new models in my opinion.

I look at the older GW models sometimes and look at the ones now like the Daemon Prince and just think half of them look like they've been taken from a kids Anime, or just kids cartoon and slapped into model form compared to the older counterparts. It gives me far more cynical thoughts regarding the upcoming CSM re-release and any new models we'll get from that.

I like the Nurgling models, but not the paintjobs. Specifically, the daggers - they look like they are made of obsidian, or similar. IMO they would look a lot better if they were made to look really rusty and poisoned.

Why is that exalted chariot think a limited time unit? I have a problem with that for several reasons. First off, if they went through all the hassle of making a metal mold, why limit it? Second, how's that going to work in the future, when people are winning games with it but other people can no longer buy it? It's going to have all the conceptual problems FW have, but worse, since at least everyone can buy FW. I don't play Daemons though, so maybe I'm missing something here. I'm sure you guys will tell me.

edit: nevermind, looks like you can just buy 2 kits to make one later, I should have read the previous posts more carefully.

Wait, is the 'Exaulted Alluress' new?

if so, Woot! Daemons got a new character unit!

As said before and in the first post: Rules booklet comes with White Dwarf August only.

The option of buying two boxes at the same time for the price of two boxes is limited, so hurry

(To be fair, the special cover cardboard box is limited, and the limited set includes the larger 100x150mm instead of 50x100mm Fantasy base)

I keep trying to like the new nurgle models. Keep trying, but so far failing. The description of the nurglings looking like something out of a drain cleaner ad hits it right on the money. Also, i dont think its just the paint job on the plague bearers. The posture with the peanut shaped torso with legs that are way to short for the body length and all bow legged. I dont know. The plague bearers just dont cut it.

Hmm, from what the website says, the exalted version comes with 1 monster and 1 oval base...

I love the Nurglings! Granted; they come from Papa Nurgle himself, however I'd like to think of them as slowly degenerating over time as they grow and fight. They remind me of soap suds! Love them.
Also; I am reminded of the small doodle cartoons in the 5th Edition Fantasy rulebook, if I am thinking of the right one. It featured lots of small, cartoon doodles of Bretonnian Knights charging GUO, Nurglings, Dark Elves and a variety of other fantasy creatures. Anyone else?

The plaguebearers will definetly benefit from a darker paintjob. They need to hit the 'eavy metal scheme with a bit of Agrax Earthshade.

I love the new nurglings - I remember that you can probably split them up to make more than the 3 bases worth.
I will also be buying the plague bearers even though I've got 7 of the old metal ones ready to be painted.

Is it just me, or does the Karanak model look atrocious, like some dumb dinosaur/dog combination that doesn't work at all? And since nurglings are 3 wounds per base, you could easily make make far more than just 3 bases with the literal stacks of nurglings they give you.

I think the new Nurgle models fit, fluffwise, and will look nice on the table. Nurgle is a vibrant god of life and laughter, not a morose purveyor of death and gloom, or so I've heard. These guys gleefully spreading disease and contagion all over the place is a wonderful change in the ridiculously spiky, skull ridden 41st millennium.

well its just a fincast redo...so its bascily still the same.

Just so I'm certain...

The "Exalted Seeker Chariot" is just 2 'regular' Seeker Chariots mashed up together - and you'll be able to make one at any time in the future if you pass on this "deal"?

Yes.

They're just making it, for the moment, abundantly clear that you'd need 2 Seeker Chariots to make it otherwise.

Got the WD, Flamers and Screamers are now awesome and the Chariots are fugly. Not sure why you would take either Chariot over a Prince in the HS spot though.

Haha I think I may have hit on how Nurgle uses Slaanesh to spread the blight, you see the Daemonnettes have crabs.



Geddit, oh never mind.

Because you can take 3 chariots for 1 HS slot. 3 Normal chariots are 120 points, that can hit potentially for 6D6 S4 hits at I10 that are rending. Then your I6's hit.

From the looks of it the hell flayer is a FA choce, so you can take it and a DP!

and, um, I would. 3 chariots over 1 DP for 1 HS slot, I know my enemy will be screaming as they get chopped to death

of course, first I need enough money...

Just to put paid to the why the exalted seeker chariot is limited edition.

You get a only 1 oval and 1 monster base, so instead of have 3 spare bases, you only have 1.
Plus a limited edition box instead of 2 non-limited box
Plus only 1 set of instructions instead of 2
