Welp maybe eating my words, saw another better pic and it could indeed be 3 terms with the contagion lord!

This kit looks better and better!

apparently combi bolter and chain axe is one dude, still spewer/belcher on the other! 3rd guy still unsure guess we will see soon!

I’m really looking forward to the blight hauler.
3 together charging up field with 3 bloat drones and a prince with wings. Yes please.

More news, better pics.

Talking of Primaris Space Marines, adding these enhanced warriors to your Chapter (Blood Angels, Dark Angels or otherwise) is about to get a lot easier thanks to some new Easy to Build kits. If you’re a fan of flamers (and who isn’t?), the Easy to Build Primaris Aggressors are for you, while the 12 piece – that’s right, only 12 – Redemptor Dreadnought allows you to get some heavy armour on the tabletop in no time.

And for the filthy heretics:

Grandfather Nurgle will be providing for his children this Christmas as well. Isn’t he generous? New Easy to Build reinforcements are on the way for the Death Guard – and yes, the Myphitic Blight-hauler is among them! This little guy possesses the same grotesque, whimsical charm as the rest of Nurgle’s children, combined with some terrifying firepower. It will be joined by a boxed set featuring three new Blightlord Terminators and a new Lord of Contagion wielding a manreaper – perfect for adding some disgusting diversity to the elite of your Death Guard army.

All these kits cost less than their fully customisable alternatives, meaning they’re a great way to build an army on a budget, too.

Sergeant Flava Flav is proudly rocking his Crux Terminatus there.

Wow, I like the poses of the Aggressors.

The dread looks like expected. Boring, like the plastic contemptor.

Well...those are some of the worst looking Nurgle/Deathguard models I've seen from GW - ever. Miles worse than anything released yet.

Maybe you can convert them, but Christ those terminators are simply garbage. The Dark Angels lieutrenant is a bit herp-da-derp as well.

The Primaris easy build kits look okay and the Blight Hauler is okay.

I've been away for a while and missed alot of the DG stuff.
I do however love this blight hauler.
Not seeing it on the site however so assuming this is a new model as it we're?

I really like all of those. Absolutely gonna get the lord and termies.

Initial speculation was that is a dual kit with the drone, but that didn't turn out true.
It's in the codex, but has no weapon options.

Right. I knew it. The dread has stupid weapons roo. I'm sure they do this on purpose.

Damnit, that trollface head is *perfect* for a conversion I've been planning, but I have zero use for the rest of the kit and the easy build stuff almost never shows up on bitz sites

if the gun of the Redemptor can swerve then it might be a nice kit.

Wasn't there something recently about new army boxes for the holidays?

Yessir. There's 4 for 40k and 4 for Age of Sigmar.

Check the army box thread a bit down.

Just in case it falls of the first page or gets lost in the shuffle.

I'm liking these EtB kits. I'm totally the market for monopole stuff that isn't from the '90s. Also great fodder for RPGers. Hope to see more for other armies.

Nurgle dude looks like a Berserk villain--I approve.

That Lod of Contagion looks more like a Fat Voldemort than a Troll Face to me.

Hey, isn't the Dreadnought missing a missile launcher thingy on top?

I mean, I like it, I just hope replacing that heavy flamer with an assault cannon bit wont be too hard.

It indeed is, which is weird since in the codex it is not optional...

I wager that once you've done shopping bits to properly arm this thing, you might as well have bought the multipart kit in the first place.

That's what my bits box is for

You have plenty of spare onslaught cannons and primaris missile pods?

I'm liking the etb Aggressors and Redemptor. I was already going to buy some aggressors and another Redemptor.
Now with them etb and therefor hopefully "cheaper", i can afford an additional squad and not eat into my forgeworld wants too much.

Just like the minimum unit size for Blightlords is 4+Champion, the easy to build sets aren't always legal (like how if you add the 3-man Easy to build PM box to the DI Plague Marines you end up with 2 champions)

It is quite a bit differnt for the unit composition not be legal than a whole model being illegal.

Though no doubt this will come a dataslate with this exact gear. But then you for example cannot switch the flamer, as that's not an option without also having the missile pod.

The aggressors look nice, I just wish that they radically reduce the cost of the flamer variant in the Chapter Approved as they currently are just way worse than the bolter ones. I'm not sure the dread is salvageable, it come with bad gear and that undercut at the shoulder looks really dire.

Like all the other easy build stuff that wouldn't otherwise be legal it's going to come with a data sheet where it is

so don't worry about that bit

that i',m most interested in is whether the 3 blight lords will be allowed on their own or only as 'bodyguards' for Lord Smileyman

Truthfully, I think some might be looking at this the wrong way with regards to "It's not legal!" on the Death Guard.

It's a new Lord of Contagion with Plaguereaper and three new Blightlord Terminators with static loadouts at $40.
He'd be $40 by himself going off of Typhus' price.

If you were to buy this set plus a box of Blightlord Terminators, you'd have some extra Blightlords you can swap in for specific loadouts. It opens up a bit more of the Blightlords box for you to build things how you want.

It also opens the door for an "Easy Build" Primaris Captain in Gravis Armor with a different pose and Easy Build Aggressors with the alternate build and a set of "Easy Build" Blightlords down the road.

Were the prices already mentioned somewhere?

The DG stuff and pricing are listed separately in the DG thread of new stuff.

I'm waiting on the pricing for the imperium stuff.
