That big nurgle beasty is amazing.

However if it makes three SC like the Mortarch kit I wonder how samey theyll look

**Zwan1One**

Hopefully you'll be able to take it as a mount for a lord and not just special characters.

If they treat the monster like the mortarchs (combined profiles), then in the short-term, I doubt they will unless they make an entry for a generic lord on big nurgley thing.

Also - kudos to the rumour mongers who called big nurgley thing and a pure nurgle release a long time ago.

**notprop**

That thing's straight outta XCOM!

Someone load up a toxingun and let's get to killing it!

I think the big thing is pretty boring. The eyeless toothy maw seems like it has been done many times before, and better.

An expensive example:

Spoiler:

I think the blightkings look like a very fun and well done kit, although they seem a bit smaller than ogres. If anybody is looking for some very inexpensive proxies for blightkings, I think Trollforged Hosts could make great replacements. They are $1 a pop for those who got in on the Kickstarter, and if you didn't you might be able to find somebody who pledged to piggyback on (I might be willing to). Images spoilered:

Spoiler:

And if anybody is looking for a proxy for the big guy, you might try the Wyrm or Fiend (again from Trollforge)

Spoiler:

Just a couple of things that came to mind when I saw the preview pictures.

I agree on big gribbly disappointment, though I'm still interested in what alternate bitz/builds come in the kit. Most notably the 'OMF VOMIT' thing that's happening in the backleft of the WD cover - possibly a shooting version? If not just breath weapon.

And that maw-thing Banebeast is a superb ball of toothy awesome. So good, and thank you for reminding me to check out how far Mierce Minis has come

Loving the look of this new Nurgle stuff, I hope the other gods get a bit of loving too.

**Sarouan**

On the other side, it's quite easy to make Nurgle models. I mean, even if the result is ugly or disgusting, it will be a success 'cause, you know, Nurgle IS ugly and disgusting.

Yeah, I never liked Nurgle. Looks like you can add plenty of tentacles and/or vomiting stuff everywhere and that's the best model for Nurgle ever. Mweh.

Would rather use some Kingdom Death models. Now that's some really disturbing stuff...

**streetsamurai**

hard to tell with the small crapy pics, but it looks really cool. This nurgle relase seems like it will be a big hit

**Red Corsair**

That thing would make a nice Great Unclean One actually.

**daddyorchips**

that nurglebeast looks great. i might very well be getting one and using it as a Chaos Spawn in my 40k CSM army.

**StormKing**

Here is what the new lords in that kit are supposed to be: courtesy of someone on Faeit 212 (just rumours tho): also no rules yet:

Orghotts Daemonspew, Chaos Lord on Whippermaw.

• Bloab Rotspawned, Chaos Sorcerer on Bilespurter.

• Morbidex Twiceborn, nurgle champion on Tripletongue.

**Jackal**

Yet another model i want for an army i dont collect.
Atleast it looks pretty solid in these pics.

It's probably gonna be way too big to be a spawn.

**MeanGreenStompa**

Very nice, but more nurgle... really?

Nugz and Khorne-dog get all the love, what about Slaanesh and Tzeentch??

Is this really going to be a mono-god release??

Seems like. What a waste, we shoulda gotten the Exalted Daemons mentioned in the Nagash book as the main characters.

In terms of the Fantasy only, Warriors of Chaos releases Nurgle and Tzeentch are the only Gods not to be represented with a non-Lord/Hero option.

Slaanesh has the Hellstriders.
Khorne has the Skullcrushers.

Since the Blightkings are Fantasy only in terms of their rules and shareable through the three Chaos armies, it's not that out of the realm of belief for GW to be devoting resources to some Nurgley Fantasy releases.

Worth noting that some might argue that Tzeentch and Khorne have two more units that are part of 'their' respective lists in the form of the Mutalith(for Tzeentch) and Slaughterbrute(Khorne) but I'm not sure I would agree with that.

Is this really going to be a mono-god release??

We haven't seen the book yet, so there's no definitive idea.

I was referring to the overriding emphasis on Nurgle, followed by Khorne, followed some distance behind, by Tzeentch with Slaanesh trailing pretty far behind, in terms of models/focus from GW as a whole, including Forge World.

**Kanluwen**

Fair enough then.

**nels1031**

Yep, will probably get one of these as well. If the Blightkings can be taken in a Beastmen Army, odds are these can too.

**beardman3000**

ive read somewhere that itll be one more week of nurgle maybe 2. then Necrons will get a block. thenn I think Tzneetch then Khorne

**Bronzefists42**

I love that kit and can't wait for the Tzeentch wave. tzeentch influenced HH navigator house here I come.

**OgreChubbs**

Man i hate this nurgle release where the frogs and disease rather then random monsters with holes in them aka tzeench.

**StormKing**

Ouuu got a snippet of their rules there with those new pictures.
385 points for that second guy with a 6 inch attack S6 not sure about those special rules (my french isn't the greatest despite being from canada)

other guy has a 24 inch S3(4) must be from the beast guy lol

Doubtful, since we need the Blood Angels to slot in before the typical December Hobbit/Xmas junk...

I'll be super peeved if the rumor holds true that the combined army list in book II is for mono-Nurgle only.

Translation from what I can see:

All characters have a blurb about how they have a total armour save of 3+ for having chaos armour and being mounted and having a combined profile/characteristics (exact same as the mortarchs).

Bloab Rotspawned:
Level 3 Lore of Nurgle
Equip: Chaos Armour, Great Weapon
Rest of the rules are too cut off to give accurate idea.

Morbidex Twiceborn:
Equip: Chaos Armour, Great Weapon
???: Models in base contact with Morbidex at the begining of the magic phase take a strength 1 hit no armour saves allowed.
Lord of Nurglings: (little blurry, but was able to make it out) all nurglings within 12" of Morbidex gain Regeneration.
Special Rules: Eye of the Gods, Mark of Nurgle, Fear, Regeneration
Tripletongue: R6", S6, Poison Attacks, Quick to Fire

Orghotts Daemonspew:
Nothing to translate, cool picture though.

Nice job with the translation my friend! Thanks!!

A strength 1 no armour saves allows is kinda crappy but whatever lol

**Yodhrin**

The beast looks fantastic, but I'm not taken with the various riders. See, this is the problem with CAD - with companies like GW I really can't tell if they're reusing assets(the original plastic Nurgle Lord file) to create a common theme across the models, or just because it's an easy way to cut corners with a bit of the old copypasta.

Still it's probably just a matter of taste more than anything else - I've always preferred the "famine victim" look of the Plaguebearers to the "redneck that never leaves their local McDonalds" look of Plague Marines/GUO etc.

Can't add much of my own, except the following...

Bloab Rotspawned:
Level 3 Lore of Nurgle
Equip: Chaos Armour, Great Weapon
Rest of the rules are too cut off to give accurate idea.

From the small blurb that can be seen at the complete top rig of the first pic (une cata... en utilisant le profil...) I have to assume he has a 24" range, S3(4) catapult, which also has a special rule that begins with a V, moat likely Vile Bile, found just underneath that mentions armor saves cannot be used against wounds caused by this attack. However, as Ehsteve said, there's a good chunk of it missing so there might be some additional restrictions I can't make out...

Oh, and Morbidex Twiceborn (the second one) has a 6+ invul save...
