Assuming GW are still in money grab mode...

A business trying to make money. Oh no!!!!!!!! Some people should really think before throwing this tired, tired meme around.

From the internet, I learned that "meme" means "idea I dislike".

The latest version of this rumor also says plastic plague marines with terminator bits. That would be really nice.

Kugaath and palanquin kit you say?

Nurgle lacks a chariot unit, and a heavy support unit (at least one that comes Nurgle flavoured like the Skull Cannon, Burning Chariot or Hellflayer) so that would be my first guess (pure speculation) but a Palanquin kit is a very solid guess too.

Does the orks vs wolves box shown in the WD cover leak mean the rumour mongers here need a false ?

or do we need to wait and see whats in the week after that?

It's one week's worth, and is at least still partially Ork-ish, so I'd say not yet.

Maybe a palanquin with either a Herald or a plague mortar crewed by nurglings!! I'd buy that for a dollar.

I'd like to hope this "upcoming Nurgle release" would be a Palanquin / Ku'gath duel kit, or:

I would be all over that, the artillery piece nicked off the tower of a Plague Tower. Daemons don't have any artillery (as far as I am aware) so that would be cool.

It has to been new Greaqter Daemon models.

Seriously those old things look like complete ass.

And when is this thing going to be replaced?



It looks like a nightmare and not in a good way.

So 'next release after orks' is looking pretty unlikely. Chalk another one up for the 'making crap up for clicks' theory of rumor mongering.

I'm sure GW will eventually present us with those sweet, sweet GD. We'll just need to wait... and wait... and wait...

The way it's going, those Greater Daemon plastics will be in a head-to-head race with GRR Martin's final two GoT books.

Yup. It's been how long since the current Greater Daemons were released? A decade? It's like the track record says they're never going to be updated, and yet they have to be. It's only a matter of time, right? Unless releasing 4 monstrous creatures for a single release is too daunting for Games Workshop, in which case the current greater daemons may hilariously remain the official models forever.

Or another thing they could do is only update half of them and then wait 4 more years before updating the other two. In such an event, my money's on the Bloodthirster and GUO to get the priority.

The problem is, the longer GW waits, the more players will start going to the competition.

Creature Caster's new kits seem borderline copyright infringement at times but dang are those models beautiful. Their KoS is spot on the best version I have ever seen, pulling elements from the classic KoS and upsizing the whole thing, and making is just plain menacing. Ultraforge already sells a far superior BT and LoC model, and they used to have a superior GUO. For my money, Kromlech's Butcher demon is a great GUO stand-in, even if the model looks radically different (maybe better suited as a Nurgle DP). I personally waited and waited for a new BT (hate the doofy buck-toothed dog head and the angry Lamusa version too), and finally broke down and ordered the Ultraforge Greater Wardemon.

Yeah I don't get GW.

They wait and wait and wait and then other companies run rings round them with superior models.

Doesn't make sense.

I made the mistake of mentioning that the Creature Caster Demons bore more than a passing resemblance to GW stuff, only to be hastily corrected by Jeremy that they are based on D&D concepts and that I should learn my history...

So don't dare suggest that they look like GW stuff because they definitely do not and nobody backing that project is going to use them for their Greater Daemons

Blood Angels are the next release! anything else you hear are lies! Trust me I have an insider

Do we really want GW to resculpt the Greater Daemons after what they did with Daemon Princes?

Is this insider the same one who told you that 6th Edition would land before July?

Which, admittedly it did.

By a week.

I wouldn't be surprised if GW does more than resculpt them. The new greater daemons I bet are gonna be bigger, like what happens with the carnifex. If they're making the jump to plastic they'll want every last daemon players older minis that much harder to use.

Except the lord of Change, you really can't get worse than the current models. If they make a Bloodthirster that is only as good as the plastic balrog from some years back, it would be in immense improvement over the current model.

By next, do you mean 'in the future'? Cause that's a given

Well according to everyone's favorite fanboy/fansite (aka BOLS) September is a "black hole" and GW has "something big planned" that's TOP SECRET. (9th edition Fantasy?)

big planned top secret- they release space hulk again..

If there is another demon wave I predict a nurgle LoW option.

I wouldn't be suprised if all the chaos GD characters end up lords of war, possibly with their own supplement. Wouldn't be suprised if kugath on palanquin came first either.

We already have one set of greater daemons that are Lords of War.
