If the crushers are in fact plastic I'm prepped to pre-order 15 of them. A new army project has been chewing on the back of my grey matter, and those would very easily seal the deal.

One more thing to distract from the GDUS entries...

Thanks for the pics!

Ok, time to bite the bullet i guess
Been wanting to play daemons for a while, got the dex, now i may have to buy something lol.


big question is, what do i buy?
Im sure i can get £50 or so out of the bank and not miss it too badly until friday (payday!)

Also, what size bases are daemons princes?
on the GW site they use 40mm for basic prince and 60mm for nurgle one.
Tempted to buy the river trolls and use them for daemons princes of nurgle



so yea, want an all plastic daemon army (ill go as far as resin) so what to buy? (HQ wise ill have to go metal, but not until kairos comes out)

Oh, I am genuinely impressed by those models, they look awesome ! Blood crusher is now looking like the best thing for Thunder wolves now

so all these pics are coming from a tactica article? I'm assuming it's down by now...

seems to be, but i could be wrong... tis a shame i kinda wanted to read it

Cant find it lol, im guessing they were making it ready, so they can just drop it on when they want to.
someone must have "accidently" clicked and uploaded it lol.


Im glad there are people who stalk the GW pages.

Starts here...works it's way through the selections.

Thanks

Looking at the size of that prince, he has to be on par with a thirster, meaning that with some plasticard and GS i could make a plastic daemon army

Also, any ideas on prince base size?
Im going to assume 60mm and get those trolls + 3 bases ordered lol.

Most MC's are on 60's. In fact I think all are. IG HW teams are on 60's as well.

40's are Terminator sized.

40's are Terminator sized.

The metal 40K non-Nurgle Prince comes(or used to) with a 40mm, though. See?

Thats what threw me and made me ask.
Checked the GW site 1st and saw him on a 40mm.


so 60mm it is, ill more than likely go with the 60mm dread bases since they cost the same and add some detail

So, any final thoughts or ideas before i order?
going with river trolls with a bit of converting for princes lol.

Hmm. I stand corrected. Though I'd put him on a 60. I think all MC's should be on 60's.

Just as I put non-TDA IC's on 40's.

I think I'm the only one here who likes the seekers. I'm glad they're finally coming out. It looks like I'll be adding to my nurgle army soon to make a Sick/feth army.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THOSE PICTURES!

Now I can attempt to decide if I want to drop the 5 boxes of metal ones I have on the new plastics since they don't look TOO bad. As someone said, they do kind of look like squigs though,

Excitement!

Anti - Squigs are one of the best models and ideas GW have had, so thats a pretty fething good compliment

For some reason I thought the demon prince was supposed to be Skarbrand. I think it was the vestigial wings.

What Vestigial Wings?

Those are Chaos Marine Back Pack vents, just like the current metal model.

These new models look great. I won't be picking up Fateweaver as I already spent a good deal of time converting one, but I'll have to get the rest. I'm especially excited at finally getting plastic seekers.

Changeling's model looks pretty interesting. Of course, they come out with a Plastic DP just as I've put in god knows how much time and money into converting 2 daemon princes. Ah well. I'm still disappointed by the lack of plaguebearers, but everything else looks great.

Emperor's bowels!

Those seeker models are fething HORRIBLE.

Even worse than those god-awful piece of gak new Daemonette models...

Just LOOKING at the Seekers fills me with murderous intent for whoever sculpted them...

At least the current plaguebearer models look good, and aren't a pain to assemble like the current metal horrors. And if you don't want to use the current models, it's easy enough to "Nurgle-fy" other models.

The New Daemon Prince is likely 'upgraded' to a 60mm Large MC base:

As annoying as it is, plagues will have to be converted to stay with my plastic theme lol.
I remember someone converting kroot on here going back 2-3 years 0_o

Failing that, ill go with zombies with large, rusty blades.
Still nurgle like, still diseased and still slow.
Works fine for me
and they are plastic.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Abs: 1st pic would be angron im guessing? mainly due to his black blade.
Thats also a dreadnought base he's on (scenic one)


2nd pic is a nice find

I use Zombies as plaguebearers. Nobody in my group has complained and most say it looks better anyway.

Every time I whip out the zombie horde I immediately think "Night of the living dead". I've given them all bladed weapons and used rust pigments to make blades look rusty. That and I've read 40k novels that had Nurgles pestilence reviving corpses and creating zombies (there was an IG one released last fall that was something like that).

That first one is actually a conversion from a World Eaters blog. But yes, I think it'll end up being on a 60mm base.

From what I can tell the legs on the plastic DP above are the same as the 40K one on page 9. Everything else is different.

I'm hoping that that won't make a difference though, with the giant mutated Marine backpack parts from the 40K version of this DP being swappable with the wings from the Warhammer bitz. And if the 40K DP's head is the only alternate head from those two shocking heads above, then good. The biggest drawback of the plastic Warhammer DP are the heads. The 40K one improves on that.

Plastic Plaguebearers exist, they're just called "Ghouls". and they're misfiled under the Vampire Counts.

NOOOOOOOOO,that daemon prince is the ugliest piece of trash I've ever had the misfortune of looking at!

If they get rid of the metal daemon prince, I swear, I'll freakin slash my wrists. That thing is Trash,utter trash. It retains none of the Chaotic Evil that the beautiful daemon Prince had.

Oh,and I'm talking about the one on page 9.The above one's sword and horns are meh,too exagerated

...
It's the exact same model, with a few details altered so it can be made in plastic.

This man speaks the truth!
