I believe that if GW do plastic plaguebearers then they will put nurglings on the sprue as well.

They've done it for rats on various skaven sprues and there are snakes on various lizardmen sprues.

I love the new Daemonettes (and the new Dakka).

The Juan Diaz-metal ones are obviously better - but the new ones will add variation to my Daemonette units - and I do think they will mix fine with the Juan Diaz ones.
I did a Photoshop size comparison (below) - and their size seems about right.



Them being plastic there are good hopes for additional sprue bits (such as the cool Die Hard 3-chick-knives of the Juan Diaz ones).

That's also a very good reminder that though the new plastics are apparently not to everyone's taste, they could be worse... oh, so much worse indeed.

those new daemons are HOT!

Titty Demons, then New Demons, then Old Crappy Demons

They do get bonus marks for being plastic, but I still like the old ones better.

The new Bloodletters are cool.

I just don't get it. The new ones don't even come close to what we've got now.

*shrug*

Well at least I know for certain this is one plastic set I don't want to have anything to do with. The jugger is great and the letter is at least interesting and kinda neat, but these girls are dead to me

I may still get another box of metal 'nettes before they disappear into the warp, but that's assuming they'll have some kind of use in the future outside of all demon armies ...

Was there some massive outcry from the community to bring back the crab claws? If so, I was unaware of it.

I have to say it: the various pieces of artwork of 3rd ed Demonettes ripping apart various Guardsmen and Rhinos is some of the most distinctive if not some of the best GW has produced, and it's a shame the minis are getting changed.

They should just drop the crab claws thing altogether. It looks ridiculous. It can be done well but not like that and not by simply making them look exactly like a crustacean.

Once both deadly and alluring, daemonettes can now be defeated by a pair of elastic bands and even made delicious in boiling water with butter and salt, and are only alluring to Dr. Zoidberg.

April/May next year from what I've heard.

Had the same thought on seeing that picture - wonder how many orc bosses will be riding one...

I like 'em! They look more 'deamony' than the last batch & I can hardly wait to get my hands on a new Juggernaught or 2! When are we going to be able to get these?

I don't like the plastic daemonettes at all. I've been dragging my feet when it comes to my fantasy chaos army and haven't purchased any GW minis in over a year, but it looks like I'll be forced to buy some of the current metal daemonettes before they are gone.

The bloodletters are pretty good, more daemonic but less bestial than the current ones. Grave Guard are nice but I already have a unit of them and they aren't SO much better than the current ones that I need to buy more/replace them. Manfred von Carstein looks like complete crap.

wow, no thanks on the demonettes

i said it about the last ones and i'll say it about these. man, we don't want to hear this. Please keep the sexual references to yourself.- Iorek

And now you've piqued my interest by making absolutely no sense out of what appeared to be a fun post.

I hate you, Lorek.

Ah, come on! Just hand me those ladies, a sharp knife and some green stuff and I guarantee you'll get a Miss Universum show.

Don't you think your Wolf Lord's battle brothers are going to get a bit suspicious if he starts riding a big Khorne Jugger around?

"My Lord... is that a Jugger..."
"This is Wolfbane - the greatest Dire Wolf of the Fenrisian Wastes!"
"But it has a Mark of Kh..."
"I captured and tamed him on the windswept peaks of Odin's Decent - wrestled with it for four days and four nights I did!"
"But my Lord, it's skin is made of metal..."
"It's coat shines in the bright Fenrisian morning, and it can stalk the land unseen, ready to strike at the foes of Russ!"
"It's breathing fire!"
"Fire of the Emperor, young pup."

If you put Grimnar on a Jugger, would that officially make him a Khornate Lord?
