Since this is my wife's army, and I love watching her get excited about stuff like this, the chance that Daemons will see the second half of their update is making me smile.
Can't wait to see if the rumors are true.

It’s also good to see GW going out of their way to make as much of the daemon range in plastic as possible. Daemons have always been all metal (until the Daemon codex hit, that is).

Now with each release more and more are turning to plastic. Sure, the results aren’t always great (see any Slaaneshi plastic kit), but it’s almost always better than metal (except in the case of Diaz Daemonettes/Daemonette Cav).

If they could just get Flesh Hounds, Fiends and Beasts of Nurgle in plastic it’d be great.

I kinda liked the older plague bearers to the new ones, but that's just me lol.

Hopefully we'll get pics within the next few weeks!

I’m in two minds about it. I have a whole host of the old Plague Bearers, and I really like them. But I can see the need for plastic ones and the plastic ones are at least decent (unlike the Daemonettes, who are universally terrible).

I mean, I don’t really like the plastic Bloodletters at all and much prefer my big burly axe-wielding metal Bloodletters, but I know why they need to be plastic and I don’t mind the design too much.

I can see why GW changed from the old Daemonettes, to keep it kid friendly... but I agree that the whole "Humanoid Lizard Hermaphrodite Crab" thing was way to much. Turned them from pretty to your worst nightmare...

To bad GW is dead-set to keep them ugly

I hate the daemon plastics
they all went back to the really ugly metals (before the good ones) with exception of the horrors (the old metals being hilarious and awesome and-they look pretty much the same)
that is an army I love the idea and fluff for...but hate every model GW puts out for them these days and would rather have Matt Ward beat me over the head with the Hobbit rulebook I had to buy then paint any of those abominations again

I hate the previous edition Plaguebearers, but the edition of models just prior to them were amazing. I like these new plastics a lot though. Daemonettes don't bother me too much either, not as good as the Diaz-nettes, but the Diaz-nettes that I sold bought me triple the new 'nettes, so that was a bonus.

I do hope that the Juggers in the new Dex/Update get finaly considered has cavalry like in the CSM dex...

Also more synergy and wargear can't be a bad thing.


Oh, and please, please, please by the Dark Gods hairybutts, please let the "Skull for the Skull Throne" rule from the Skulltaker, be untouched or at least that it doesn't become listed has Deamonic gift..., its always funny to see Dreadknights trying to Excommuniate the Skulltaker and that his insta-gib rule still work, sometimes when i see this, i think there is a justice in this world...

I'm conflicted with one of the new GDs. On one hand, a plastic Lord of Change would be so useful.

On the other hand, my very first metal Lord of Change is worth a lot of sentimental value considering I assembled it 6 years ago with nothing but GW Superglue. No pinning, no magnetss, no greenstuff. Just superglue and holding wings in place for hours......

what makes me really sad is the idea of getting a new KoS (if we even get one at all according to BoLS). at first I couldn’t say how excited I was at the prospect of a 6th and final one but then I remembered......they've been basing all the new sculpts off the god awful old OLD metal ones (e.g, bloodletters no longer look like manic, axe swinging devils they look like warty...red....daemon things....)

which is why I'm dreading geting a plastic this:



as opposed to a plastic this :/ :



that being said the current one isn’t much to look at at all >.>

which brings us back to the age old topic of gore, blood and skulls being fine but as soon as someone shows a boob, everybody grabs their power pitch forks

Yep.
I never did and never will get that. We weren't born with clothes on...

Blame the over-protective, religous zealot, politically correct, b -@$$ soccer moms of North America for this one.

For some reason over here, insane, gory violence is fine for Little Timmy.
But boobies are evil, perverting, devils that will make children do horrible things and teach them immoral values.

When I worked at the local GW for example, we had to 'bookshelf' the boxes of Diaz-Daemonettes to try and keep kids from seeing them because so many uptight, jumped-up, self-rightous b moms complained...
...These would be the same mothers thoug hwho thought it perfectly fine for their 8 or 9 year old kid to play games like Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto though.

Soccer moms: the #1 reason for America's collapse.
Boobs: the #2 (and 3, 4, 5 and 6) reason(s) for America's collapse.

Looking forwards to some awesome plastic kits!

I prefer the older ones as well.

Personally, I love the plastic bloodletters. Of course, I bought "Slaves to Darkness" back when it was new on the shelf, so I'm pretty biased.

More and more it's sounding like CoD/DoC could be ANOTHER update instead of a new book. Which is disappointing and kinda strange at first blush. But then considering it's a whole new digital age for GW...maybe more rolling updates and fewer codex/book redos will be the wave of the future.

It would make sencse in the short term as there are many models that could use aesthetic upgrades

ugh....tell me you're kidding ;-;

see, this is why we cant have nice things XD

I personally like all the models. I think the line is great. Old and new.

I found the new Plague Bearers much better when you actually bought a box. The official pics didn't do the models justice, there were lots of nice little details.

please let this be real!!! the current GD are absolute and they look awful.

please, for the glory of chaos, let there be photos soon!!!!

I hated the old Plaguebearers and really like the new ones.

The GD I'm looking forward to the most is a new Greater Unclean One, the current model is horrible. I tolerate the Bloodthirster, and I actually like Fateweaver's model.

i totally agree. not to mention they're half the price, easy to assemble and don't look like melted terds.

Nope, 'fraid not...
Remember the 6th edition Dark Elf army book? It's release was delayed because GW had to edit out a good deal of the evil, half-naked pixies and naked Witch Elves becaus eit was deemed too sexually explicit for US release.



Anyways, for those who really like the old metal, beefier Bloodletters in place of the the newer, sleeker ones, try this conversion;
a) saw the torso off of a plastic Bestigor

b) add Bloodletter torso, arms & head.

Viola! taller, beefier & semi-armoured Bloodletters!
They actually stand ever so slightly taller than a marine, and they look meaner than the skiny, old-school throwback dudes!

If I had a camera, I'd post pics of my conversions... Sadly, technology hates me with a passion.

I remember being pretty pumped with the current generation of greater daemons came out. But they're looking pretty dated at this point. I know re-sculpts are guaranteed to be better, but I'm excited to see what GW could do with them in a sweet plastic kit (with extras and alternate parts!).

I don't know if I want the GD to be bigger or not.

If they get bigger, then my soon-to-be converted KoS from the Deciever (which is already boardering on being too small, width-wise) will definately not be playable as a GD...

On the otherhand, if they are bigger, Nemisis Baby Carriers won't seem so big.
