To be fair the Slaanesh is a dual kit as well. It's the standard chariot and the FA choice fleshrender which nobody used because of the new screamers. But yeah, it's probably lighter and costs less points than the new ones.

ANd its increadably awkward to deepstrike a squadon of them. I like mine.

**MeanGreenStompa**

Is it confirmed that they are not redoing the Greater Daemons?

**Hulksmash**

Deepstriking them is fun. I enjoy dropping 9 on my opponents and then turbo-boosting to spread out and prepare to bring the pain

They don't seem to be on the initial release list, but that doesn't mean they won't do them in the future.

Really hope plastic GD are on their way

EVEN IF they have a price of $85 or so! I want to see some friggin new sculpts. Sure I wont buy them but at least I'll have something more modern to look at

Also

Cannon of khorne? Oh my.....

GW sure does love bringing back old memories these days

**kronk**

WTF?

That's ugly.

**MeanGreenStompa**

The Red Age is come again!!

/Begins wailing and gnashing teeth.

**pretre**

I remember that thing!

**Cyvash**

Oh my.... though since it's khorne i'm guessing the bs skill won't be that good.

**kronk**

Is that the original "Angry Marine Launcher"?

If the Bloothirster is in fact being sculpted by Jes the Great, then it *MIGHT* justify a price in excess of $50. But I'm working on a conversion from a Daemon Prince anyway...

furious charge & rage - rule book (P41&37)

blood without end- the bloodthirsters gain +d6 attacks on the charge and makes another strike at initiative step 1 for every wound he causes.
These extra strikes do not produce any further strikes.

I don't personally see this as being that different from the Swarmlord. In fact, I believe the Swarmlord would take his lunch money, even if you didn't factor in Psychic Powers(although that might be a little biased on my part

) Of course, it would depend on who got the charge, and if Tyrant Guard are involved... But otherwise, I'm not seeing these as being that ridiculous. And no assault grenades on an assault unit isn't that surprising, if you use the Tyranid codex for reference.

New model pictures posted... tbh not really impressed. Plague drones look like flying elephants out of Dr. Seuss.

**gregor_xenos**

Well.... nothing I really want. The rules better be great if they want me to buy these.

I was really hoping for plastic GDs this wave, but I understand releasing stuff for units that have no models.

I think I'm going to wait on seeing the rules before buying anything.

Wow, I was semi-excited to add a Daemon contingent to my CSM... At least if I do I can stick to older cheaper models.

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

Oh dear god, my eyes!

I would like to thank the miniature sculptors at GW for stopping me from giving GW money.

**MeanGreenStompa**

Ye gods this new stuff is dire.

**Azreal13**

They are simply awful! Barely anything there I'd think about maybe buying.

What's this the 4th underwhelming release in a row?

Wow...um, no thanks. Not a big fan of these. That Khorne chariot looks ridiculous, as does the cannon. Nurgle flies are pretty uninspiring, and the Nurgle herald is too skinny. About the only model I like is the Khorne Herald...but I can get a cooler one from Avatars of War for $5 less. No thanks on this entire release...and Daemons are my favorite army.

Yeah, I have disliked many of the recent releases, but there is almost nothing redeeming here at all. And some of them are downright embarrassing. How any one signed off on the drones or most of the chariots, especially the flaming derp one is beyond me.

**timetowaste85**

Well, okay, the Slaanesh one isn't bad either, but you'd have to remove the head. Body is cool. And I do like the Khorne Herald. A lot. But the price makes me consider other options. Maybe with a 25% discount I'll talk myself into those 2 heralds...maybe.

**blood reaper**

Oh my god....

These are just.....sweet Mary, Jospeh and Jesus these are just awful.

Look at the Herald of Khornes face, look at it. Look into those eyes. I bet you can't without dying a little bit inside.

And the Blood cannon...oh god the Blood cannon.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

I think if we get to see them in the raw without the pretty basic paint they may end up looking more appealing,

especially the Nurgle Flys & Khorne Cannon

Agreed tenfold. I was so excited to get some new daemon models, but these are horrible.

GW needs to spend at least 5 minutes getting feedback from customers before releasing crap like this.

I'd be amazed if they spent 1 millisecond thinking about the customers other than their money

**Azreal13**

Fortunately, my plan has always been to use many non-GW centrepiece models as possible.

I found this thread very useful, I suspect others will now too..

Well, at least the 'Eavy Metal Team maintains their consistant standard of choosing the absolute most gaky colour schemes possible...
...And the photography is a crap as ever!

I like the Slaanesh Herald, and while he's not obese or anything, that Nurgle Herald is pleasently disgusting in a good way!
I think there's a good basis for conversion on the chariot Tzherald - just add bit to make it more like a proper looking chariot instead of a a dude surfing a giant flaming frizzbe!

That Khornate monstrosity though? Small photo makes it look stupid. Better photos likely won't help (much) and when/if I see the actual model in person, it will probably still look like an utter mess...

**MeanGreenStompa**

This, ladies and gents, is the end result of ignoring your customers, refusing previewing or feedback and working in a vacuum.

I give you the Blood Throne of Khorne...
