SLOW THREAD,HUH?oops,capslock.

Aaanyway, is anyone else hoping for another bloodthirster?

Yeah, I'm also hoping for other greater daemons that don't look like a bunch of arse nuggets with paint on them.

The flame grabbing thing going on with that Tzeench character is a bit goofy. I'm excited to pick up those bloodcrushers.

The GW Lord of Change and Boodthirster really arent that bad looking. However the Great Unclean One and Keeper of Secrets could definitely use a nice upgrade, something similar to the style of the Forge World models.

Didn't read through whole thing but got the gist, and saw the pics and all the goodness.

IMO I think the new DP is a downgrade in the detail of the model, however, being as it is a plastic model, I'll have no problems picking one up dirt cheap and converting it to be what I want it to be, which will most definitely include a change of about 40% of the model. I think GW has caught on that a lot of people are still in crappy economic times and want cheaper minis if they are to keep buying, and by making the model cheaper and more accessible, it also allows people to more easily pickup the DP for conversions. Seeing as a huge draw of the game is the customization aspect, I think it was a very smart idea on their part.

The pros on the model are:
1. the armor seems a bit more ornate, which is a bonus even though its fairly the same thing as the old one.
2. open design which allows better display of any custom sculpting and conversion work that is done on it, and if you really want to change it, do so.

negs are:
legs and backpack look like trash, buuuuuutttt. seeing as its plastic and cheap you can either do some GS changes over it, or cut the parts off and do your own sculpt (as I'll most likely do on the legs, pack I'll rebuild with a trim)

Also I noticed someone had mentioned they were upset about the loss of the ripple effect from the old DP, if you really want that look I'd suggest doing some thin rolls of GS and then blending it against the armor. Wil give you the same raised look plus you can make any symbols or effects you want very easily. Anyway, thats my 2 cents. Complaining wont get you anything new, so you may as well figure out how to turn the neg into a positive and what benefits will come from a cheaper easier to work with model..... hrrrrmmmmm.

Looking forward to combining the DP & Blood Crusher models for a Khorne DP

I'm not sure if I love the new DP or hate it. The head is an improvement on the current one but I still dont know if its right

It still disgusts me, even after looking at it for so long. Uuuuuuuggly.

Hoestly, other way around.

honestly klaws, your slight right, LoC and KoS are the best greater daemons.

Blegh, the new DP is just meh really. Some parts are a definite improvement to the old one, like the armor for instance.

But the face the backpack... the legs!?

But the Juggernauts and the seekers (they're the mounted ones right) look pretty cool too, I can see some awesome conversion coming with them.

Just a quick question. Is it confirmed that the leaked pictures (changeling, fateweaver, pink horrors, daemon princes, seekers and bloodcrushers) are the only models to be released? I want to purchase some plaguebearers and fiends, but not if there is a chance they will have plastic kits coming out in August. Any info would be helpful. Thank You.

Its about as confirmed as its going to get. So this is it.

All I want is those seekers. Call me sick in the head but i love the design. I have 30 of the metal ones, but I want... nay need more.

Bloodthirster looks like crap now. I just bought a balrog. Looks way better. It would be great to have a plastic Bloodthirster though, instead of that crap Dp.

I imagine the DP has multiple heads for you to customize with.. Regardless, plastic kit >>>>>> big metal model with 1 pose

Is this including a new Codex and Army book? One of the FLGS nearby swears that it is and the are expecting to get 12 of each. I hadn't heard that one yet, any confirmation or just some rampant misunderstanding of the order form?

I wonder if the Defiler masks will fit the new Daemon Prince heads as well as the metal one.

Hope so.I'm saving those masks for something good.

Guys, I think this release is finally being acknowledged by GW. It may be a small hint but it is there. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/blogPost.jsp?aId=10500139a In the 'Creating your own battlefield' picture, down the the bottom on the right there's a daemon picture with the Seekers in it.

It's not just on the GW page: the new 8th edition book has pictures of the seekers, Kairos and the Changeling-all the same pics that were leaked. There were no pictures of the new horrors or bloodcrushers, but they probably want us to buy metal ones up until the plastics come out. The new July WD DOES have a picture of a plastic bloodcrusher though: skim through it, I promise it's there (no, I don't have a page number for you) but only confirmed pics of the horrors are missing at this point-no idea on plaguebearers or fiends

Well the old metal Horrors are far better than the new plastic ones anyways, so you should get them before they're all gone!

You can no longer order the old metal ones off the website.

no, just a second wave, even SM don't get a new codex that soon after the last one

.....oh,I get it.

I like pretty much all the new models coming out, plastic DP is a bonus too, my only qualm is the DP's face

Really looking forward to the plastic Bloodcrushers. They will be perfect for my Khorne counts-as Space Wolves project as Thunderwolf calvary

Daemon Black Box models have shipped to stores. The new August Daemon release preview models will be on display in at least one of my local GW stores starting later today, Saturday, July 10.

Here's what plastic models are in the Black Box of Daemons:
- Daemon Prince, complete with Space Marine type pauldrons on the sprue
- Seekers of Slaanesh
- Bloodcrusher (Juggernaut)

I helped my local GW assemble the seekers today. Very nice.

They came 5 to a sprue, and each body has two seperate "wattles" for the seeker's head. I'm looking forward to picking up 10 of them.

Built a bloodcrusher this afternoon, excellent model.

Really? Do you have pics?
