Dual Kit, Beast of Nurgle/Snail gardeneer?

Cool idea fluff wise, the snail will slime its thing all over the ground and the plow will really soak it into the ground, allowing all sorts of nurgly things to grow.

Really the war for the realm of life is between 2 gardeners.

Not going to lie, that Hammerhal collection is very tempting as a way to expand my starter set Stormcast and floundering Empire force, I wonder if the Lord Castellant is Sunhelm in this box/formation since hes still alive after Shadows over Hammerhal.

Time to get my warsnails out of the box! Quite happy with the incoming nurgle campaign!

Yes I saw this earlier, it looks like Black Talon (IIRC) is a female Stormcast? (The picture looks like a female with a breastplate similar to the Shadespire female). Super interesting. Really can't wait to see what is in store!

I think there's a few more rumour pics in the above. The Lion pelt and the lion plate armour are probably her armour too.

Plus as shown above, looks like he could be dragging that plough we saw a while back.

Can't wait to see these properly.

Love me a bit of Nurgle goodness.

Conquering for Chaos in the General's Handbook

Like how the slaanesh abilities fit with the lore background the traits look great to tide us over until a slaanesh release in a few years or so. Also getting kinda tempted to do a skaven army.

That brass orb can only be described in one phrase:

ALLAHU RATBAR!

I am super hyped up about these two new... things...

Blightwar is perfect, Azag's legion has been sitting on their shelf for long enough, and will definitely be happy to go do more conquering in the name of their patron. I wonder if I should email GW and ask to get Azag canonised...

And Firestorm not only has an awesome name, its just what I want from a table top game! I absolutely love the tactical aspect of city management, and most of my homemade tabletop games reflect that. Plus, my chaos army has been lying around in Gyran for quite some time, and those fire mountains look like a nice place for a new fortress...

Well, a good nurgle release COULD finally get me excited about AoS. Would love to see more stuff relating to the blight kings and gutrot spume, over just demons though.

I wonder if the snail rider is a new version of epidemius? I assume they're looking to finally get him in plastic. From what I can tell from the drawing, the rider is holding large rusted hedge clippers, but I could be wrong. In any case, between this, and the death guard release I hope we finally get a plastic palanquin in some form. If the character 'grows n harvests' nurgling swarms I will be very happy!

I'm really hoping that Blightkings drop in points by a decent amount. They're better per model than chaos warriors, but 5 blightkings doesn't compare to 10 warriors (currently cost the same). Cheaper blightkings, a good allegiance ability, and much more flexible battleline rules (ie, blightkings always battleline, or battleline in any nurgle army), and I'll be happy.

Are you serious? Blightkings are awesome, I'd still take them at 200 points even.

Yeah, holy crap, 5 Blightkings can murder anything in the game. I'd much rather take 5 Blightkings than any number of normal Chaos Warriors They're super survivable and hit so very hard.

Kind of excited that STD get a chance at a free Daemon Prince (or Spawn)!

Also snails crawl but this one has like 12 legs, so his movement isn't that of your regular overgrown snail

Full Shadespire reveal. Have to say i'm really like the Stormcasts.

Added the proper tags for it.

That's the same video that was posted back in March when Shadespire was announced...

Wow, wonder if that grundstock thing is a joke or for real...

Hopefully it's true alongside other changes making the faction more interesting.

So glad I'm not obligated to convert 5 thunderers with mortars now. The nerf to mortars is poorly done, but they were already a unit where four of the weapon options weren't getting used so the situation hasn't exactly changed; it's the downside of having one warscroll : one cost.

Spoiler:

Does that mean seeker cavalry , in a slaanesh daemon cohort, with seeker allegiance can move 17 run 2d6 then charge 2d6+2 ? for an average threat range of 33 inches ?

Hhellstriders and seeker chariots been battle line is awesome.

And this is why I didn't build my kharadron until after the ghb dropped. I figured my build would get nerfed one way or another so now I didn't wastell $160 on thunderers. Looks like more arkanaught companiy!

Grundstock thunderers are still worth taking, they just had the OP equipment route removed.

Yes, but seekers are already plenty fast enough to perform whatever maneuvers you may want so going Seeker Allegiance is redundant for a player using them significantly.

Nah, one of each weapon is what I don't care for. They could have nerfed the mortar but not that plus loadout. Either way it's all good. Makes my company units an easy choice unless the points ts for the thunderers dropped.

Bob from war of sigmar shared a picture. It is not just a nerf. There are several new abilities.
