Wow, haven't been keeping track of GW at all; did someone say Nurgle??

I don't normally comment on new GW releases these days, but I really like the Blightkings. They are pretty cool looking models.

The new Nurgle beast is okay, but the riders look horrible. They are a long shot from the plastic Nurgle lord released a while back.

I also will chime in agreement with the many individuals who are tired of Nurgle and Khorne releases. As a Tzeentch guy myself, this would have been a great opportunity to release a Tzeentch and a Nurgle unit instead of just a ton of Nurgle stuff. That would give every Chaos god a unit in the WoC army.

Making Tzeentch units requires imagination, while making Slaanesh units requires beauty.

GW lately has a poor track record with both. Zing!

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

im guessing the strength 1 hit being the Nurgles rot rule?

Ok, those new demon mounts look pretty cool. It's been a while since GW released something that gnarly.

If I played Nurgle Daemons I'd be saying hello to my new GUO. Cool Model.

Have to give GW credit for those Nurgle models, the big monster looks suitably foul! I will still be a bit disappointed if this second wave remains as just Nurgle stuff

I want one. I may never use it but I want it anway.

Personally I don't think that its going to be just nurgle.

With the book containing warriors of chaos and daemons and then also beastmen I am hoping that they release something for beastmen. I assume they will be releasing some sort of beastmen model in addition to the other stuff they are releasing. Just what I think anyways I don't have any rumours or proof about it tho lol

Big whooptie-poop, more Nurgle...

Sure it looks stunning & amazingly gross, but as a Tzeentch player, there's nothing to interest me in the least in this release. Heck, even a Slaany or Khorne option(s) would have likely tugged at the purse strings some, but a 100% pure Nurgle release means I can thankfully ignore GW's releases this month.

Rumors all foretold of a massive Chaos creature dedicated to Nurgle, and a Nurgle focus for a release wave. So of course GW was going to focus on Tzeentch!

Tzeentch and Khorne are covered with the Mutalith/Vortex Beast. Now Slaanesh needs a big critter.

Unless you're playing DoC, not WoC.

I'm guessing the lists are gonna be combined like Undead Legions.

Also guys when the book comes out I'd get it as soon as you can because if it's anything like Nagash it'll be limited edition but that won't be mentioned anywhere.

The book was actually still available until very recently on the Canadian site anyways.

There are rumours that there will be a re release of the Nagash book in paper back? Not sure if they will release the end times nagash rules as well but I don't see why they wouldn't since it is obviously selling much better than they probably expected it to.

My friends and I theorized Archaeon is going to get some form of rerelease where he's on some suitably large-ass Chaos mount of some kind, to go along with Manfred being on one of Nagash's abyssal steed thingies.

Here's to hoping.

I don't think they pushed the time line forward but I think there just new big baddies.

Nagash is back now he is in egypt or where ever nekra or something like that
Aracon is apperantly on a throne and in no hurry he said he is ok with letting the other forces march foward before he goes because it is a long term thing.
The elves and dark elves are both like teaming up and holding postion.
Orks/ogres are apparently marching out with no true leader just doing there thing
Beast men get a paragraph saying it is time of the beast lead by malagor.
karl frans injured and all heading home
No words on brets yet tho. nothing substantional that is.

So my guess is they advance it foward but no one really fights it out.

IE.

Setra still around, nekra egypt thing
Nagash/vlad/manfred, is here vamp lord/tombking
Karl frans, empire
The ever chosen, is not doing anything but chilling on a throne letting the others fight ie nurgle boys
Malagor, beast men
Dwarf king "forget his name" slayer guy marched out got in a fight marched home the other one shut the doors
Dark elves pulling stuff home to fight chaos
Highelves getting nagash ready to fight chaos and staying home
Lizardmen are a toss up mazdamundi is moving where who knows but he was the one who killed the world by shaking it and making the skaven move all across the globe
skaven killed off 2 human colonies and now are waiting for their new main guy to sit on a throne
wood elves apperantly got this new chick chosen by azeral

SO apparently you and I read two different books,

The king of bretonnia is DEAD killed by his bastard son, the land of bretonnia is in civil war and the green knight comes back for revenge and FINALLY takes off his helmet and is the first king of bretonnia (cant remember the name)

Also the world tree is dead for the wood elves

It's not available in the UK at all, none of my local shops have it. So I'm holding out and hoping the rumour of a rerelease are true.

But really that's beside the point. They released essentially a limited edition book without saying it was limited edition. And I'm really annoyed by that because I'd have bought it earlier had I known.

I would have to agree that it is really weird that they released it as a limited edition run but never had any mention of that anywhere.

I'd like to see the price of the softback version and if it will be just the fluff book or just the rules and at what price point. Once they do say the cost then I can see if I am going to buy the third book (rumoured to be Skaven) right away or if I'm going to wait for a soft back edition because $100 Canadian is pretty steep for a hardback even if it is both the fluff book and the rules.

Imagine how many models I could buy for $100?!!
Not that many actually haha

Dark Eldar models. That is all.

All books are limited, they're called print runs. Don't piss and moan if you drag your feet.

It was hardback in a slip case so I would posit no second run but probably an e-version if Stormclaw is anything to go by.

Yes but they either do multiple print runs, or say 'we're only doing one print run'.

And maybe, just maybe, not everyone can afford to drop £50 on a BOOK. Maybe some people were, I don't know, waiting for Christmas, because there was no indication it wasn't going to be around then.

Well, it's been speculated that the whole End Times things is following a Four Horsemen kinda theme

Death (Nagash), Pestilence (Nurgle), Famine (Skaven?) and War (Khorne? Khaine-related stuff?).

It's probably giving GW too much credit, but hey, it's a theory.

From what I hear the 4th book will be centered around the empire/brets(the world of men)



I also hear it from a relatively reliable source that their will be a soft cover coming out in the future at the conclusion of all the print runs

What is that suppose to mean ????? That using a tired old cliche like the 4 horsemans of the apocalypse would be praiseworthy ?

Stop! You're having a positive thought about something GW might do!

Yeah, I think it'd be pretty cool, too..

If you look at my posts on this page even im not feeling all that positive about GW at the moment...
But yeah the 4 horsemen thing would be cool and would work quite well. And fitting for 'The End Times'.
