I'm confused. You called the beast model by... quoting yourself saying that the GUO was used as the Glotkin? Huh?

Not sure how that is a 'told you so' to someone asking for pics of an actual Great Unclean One.

Pics or didn't happen.

As I have mentioned previously, I was sent a snapchat with the pics.

Fun fact, the original CAD for the model was eventually used to make the Glotkin. All four gods had updated CAD sculpts, plus a new dragon that ended up being the mount for a certain chief protagonist.

You can choose to ignore this

I wouldn't ignore this... Given that I called the beast model, and when it comes end of Jan ahead of the rotbringer book in feb.

I'm not a rumour monger, but I do love a told you so

Thanks

I have no doubt that there will be a new Beast and GUO model in January.

Really interested to see what they do with the Daemons codex next month. At the moment, the biggest issue with the army is delivery with the lack of DS. Hoping for a similar stratagem to elder where you can spend CP to nominate units to deploy from the warp.

I'm just a player and I could tell you there's new beasts and a guo this coming release, almost certainly more than that even. That horticulous buffs beasts was pretty much all the confirmation we needed. I also recall the info about Glottkin being a repurposed GUO sculpt circulating when they actually came out, so that tidbit is years old.

Just give us the Nurglelysk! The Ultranurgle! The Nurgleraptor already!

Given the current naming convention that GW are going for you'd need to break each of those into 2 latin inspired sounding names lol

Hmmm... what about... The Putrified Rotbeast? Vile Ceratopsidae Chasmosaurinidius?

Oi, that sharper pic looks very promising. The Blanche beasts looks cooler, though.

If we see those beasts, the weird multi-legged triceratops from that one piece of art and *especially* those floor-crawling things from other pieces of Death Guard artwork, oh my.

yeah, it's decent, but it looks way too much like a fat(ter) plaguebearer. The blanche one is much better

I think you need to go look at some plaguebearers again dude...I don't think they look how you think they look

For anyone that has seen Lord Fethius instruction book, can you field the 3 terminators that come with him as a unit or do you need minimum 5 still?

If they're anything like the Plague Brethren, you'll be able to field 'em as their own unit.

An observation after working a bit with the Plague Marines box.
For those, like me, that are concerned with too many deformed spikes, too long, and weird proportions, the box marines are IMHO better sculpted and proportioned.
Also, the helmets and pauldron choices allow for a better "stylistic" choice. Thematic too - like "this squad is all rebreathers", to say.
Still a bloody ripoff for 7 but hey. GW.

Yeah, the kit isnt as customizable as i would have liked, but it is easily one of my favorite kits. Just wish there was a benefit to running them in units of 7, or the box cost a bit extra and came with 3 more.

I'm pretty sure that their intention was to get people to buy the easy to build marines as well - which I probably will, since you get a plasma champion and a blight launcher marine from the box of three, and both are decent options.

Video from warhammer tv showing a new nurgling ridding a fly

Hmm... that will be probably related to a Nurgle Daemon miniature. I don't think they are gonna release more Death Guard ones.

Sure.

Maybe herald on plague drone?

I think, by the base, that it will be the beast of Nurgle. But could be anything really.

I'd wage its likely there will be some more DG units. There isn't a big multipart campaign book for primaris vs DG yet.

It's for a Beast of Nurgle almost 100% sure of it.

That little nurgling thing probably goes on the base of the new beast. I definitely like flavorful little character bits like that, it's one of the things non nurgle kits tend to be lacking in.

Could be for the Beast kit, but I like the idea of it coming with a herald on a plague drone. The nurglings like to mimic other demons/warriors, so I could see that too.

Possibly though, its for a new unit of flying nurglings! That would be amazing, In any case, I Love it!

I have always been disappointed heralds cant take plague drone mounts so I would be all over that, even at what would likely be a $40 price tag. That would simply be a great way to round out nurgle daemon 'small character' options. Since Epi is a special character Nurgle has no analogy to heralds on juggernauts, slaanesh chariots, or tzeentch discs/chariots.

I love Nurglings.

I do thematic Nurglings for my Nurgle stuff like adding insect wings, stinger and a tiny scythe for a Nurgling hangig out with a Raptor champ who is half wasp or an axe guy for my executioner hero. This lil guy will fit right in.

And he might come with a free model

A few people commented on it being tied to "Beasts of Nurgle" and got likes from the Warhammer Community FB page. Make of it what you will.

I wonder if they will have benefit on the tabletop or will be just decorative. Either way it's cute.

I thought the Nurgling on Fly was from Mortarion?

No.

Warhammer Community's Facebook literally confirmed, repeatedly, "This is not a Nurgling that is currently available".

 Mad Doc Grotsnik wrote:

Those were flying Nurglings, unfortunately.

Warhammer TV seem to be indicating it's not from the Beast kit, but I'd imagine a mounted Herald is likely on it's way soon too
