Grundstok Thunderers seem interesting. So from the wording I could equip an entire unit with the Mortars (if I had the parts)? They don't actually seem that destructive with instead lots of ways to do Damage 1, but a unit of 5 Mortars would be nice if only for the range!
Edit - and if they all had Mortars you could double their shots with the Kemist's ability.

Bye bye Dakkadakka, happy hobbying! I really enjoyed my time on here. Opinions were always my own :-)

It seems that the issue with all weapon options costing the same will be reoccurring with this unit :(
I'm forseeing a unit of 15 mortars and 2 Khemists dominating the field with 45 shots a turn at 36". Not to mention double-turn potential.

I imagine there will only be one Mortar in the box which will be enough to curtail it from regular battlefields, but I imagine at tournaments we will see them!

Assuming a new Great Unclean One, Nurgle already has it's own 'Monster' in the Glottkin.
That's not a Monster of Chaos, it's a Rottbringer, and a hero. It seems to me that GW is starting to backtrack on splitting the WHFB factions into a thousand subfactions. In the last few months, Tzeentch, Stormcasts, and Khorne have each been combined from 2 subfactions into one. I'm expecting to see this continue. Something about this latest development makes me think the Monsters of Chaos subfaction is getting combined with some of the others. My prediction is that the Brayherds and Warherds will eventually be combined back into Beastmen and take Centigors and Razorgors, and Chaos Warhounds will be moved to Slaves to Darkness. The only monsters from that faction I haven't figured out yet are the Cockatrice and Harpies.
You're overthinking it. All that matters is that its a big 'monster' that's not a Greater Daemon. The Glottkin fits that bill for Nurgle, just like the Slaughterbrute and the Mutalith Vortex Beast do for Khorne and Tzeentch.
I understand what you're saying, Ghaz. It's a Nurgle Monster . It is also a Hero and takes up a leader slot. The Slaughterbrute and Mutalith do not. The Glottkin is a cool model and an excellent addition to a Nurgle list, but it doesn't fill the same niche.
The skellies are nice, if they're a dedicated Shadespire kit it seems we will get small boxes of asingle unit type for it? That's kinda disappointing compared to a Mordheim warband-lite kit with grunts, champion types and ogre equivalent some -including me- were wishlisting. Shadespire continues to intrigue and baffle me. Stormcast use three models, so it seems like a character driven game, but Undead run a skellie swarm, the mooks of all things mook-y? So not that hero hammer-ish after all? Skellies are almost a small warband in numbers, Khorne and Stormcast a handful or less. Do the teams stay at the size and slot out models that GW sells you? Can they be expanded in numbers? Will there be big brutes? Then shouldn't they be in a warband kit, given how GW likely won't do a single monster kit a la BB for each race? I need to know more.
Looking for a Skaven Doomwheel banner to repair my Nurgle knights.

Games Workshop makes some really incredible miniatures, but every once in a while they make one I'm absolutely inspired to pick up and build an entire army for. The reboot of the Dark Eldar was the first time, and I think the Kharadon dwarves will be the second.

I have been a bit a worried that this "fantasy" game looks more and more like 40k for every release but I guess there is no need to worry now. This has passed beyond 40k and landed in 1980's Cyberpunk. Really cool but there is nothing fantasy about this picture:

It harkens back to the roots of 40k as WHFB-in-Space. I'd guess there was some desire for crossover with this release as well (i.e. the closest we'll get to squats).
