Here's some of the new pictures and rules: hopefully the images stay

Still not sure if I like this new mini or not.

There we go I updated it with the larger images. Nice to get to see the rules in english this time

That is one of the coolest models GW has put out in awhile. I've been pretty impressed with the end times stuff so far. Thanks for the pics!

I love the Daemonic rider. He looks ace. The guy with the horn growing out of his face has an expression like "Oh God what is this thing coming out of my face... get it off! Get it off!".

I've loved the recent whfb units but Im unsure on this thing.
Both the rider versions are cool but the beast itself. Hmmm, somethings just not quite right?

Feel the opposite, I think it would have worked better as a stand alone gribbly rather than a mount.

I'm fine with them as mounts... I quite like them in fact! We're still waiting on the big kit though, right? We've got the Morghast equivalents, and now these guys serve as the Mortarch equivalents, so all that's left is the Nagash equivalent.

Quite excited to see the book, although like everyone else I'm pretty disappointed that it's looking like a Nurgle-only release. We've got so much of it already, I'd love to see some big stuff for all the other gods. One can only hope I suppose.

Hmmm... I wonder if I could use the beast on the right in the first pic and use the rider in the second pic and use it as a Herald of Nurgle on a Palanquin in a Nurgle-themed 40K Chaos Daemon army...

hate the stupid grin on the daemonic rider. At first, with the bad pics, I tought he was kind of a leper king, which would have been way cooler imo than a fat plaguebearer with a dumb smile. Thankfully, we have enough face in the blightkings kit, that changing his head will not be a problem.

Beside that, I really love this release. I'll buy one for sure to use as a GUO in 40k. Hopefully, they sculpted what's beneath the saddle,

After seeing some clearer pictures I gotta say I love the models they are very much in the same vein as the Chaos Nurgle Lord, can't wait to see what the beasty turns out to be!

And there goes the excitement, I think these are very uninspiring.

I really like the models, but I'm all tz and khorne.

Seeing all three of them side by side there looks like there is no variation other than the stomach and the mouth.

I can't decide if the stuff on top is weirdly placed fur, some sort of straw built around the saddle, or (going by the spitting one) the thing was just that weird redhead kid before it mutated.

It looks like there are a lot of the boils which define Nurgle but I'm really unsure about them. It might just be that they have been painted with no variation in the skin tone but it looks like they have no texture to them, which is fine on a 28mm infantry model but at the size they have been scaled up to it's really obvious.

The joints are all very viable too.

Maybe I'm being really harsh on it because I have no reason to want to put one on the tabletop and I'm looking at it purely from a painters prospective but it just feels... like something that was slapped together in CAD with little care or effort.

It does seem like there is better skin texture than usual, but it still has nothing on stuf like this:

Looks great to me!

Can really get on board with a Nurgle Ogre Kingdoms combo force!

Lots of good conversions to be seen there.

It's a riff on the old Plague Daemon cover:

Or Realm of Chaos: The Lost and the Damned, yes?

Also same fat happy guy on cover of palace of the plague lord "pretty good book"

It's okay tho, that guys rules are by far the worst!

That too.

For gods sake GW, go check yourself into a fething skull fetish support group ok?

Cool, these look really nice, although there i very little variation between the 3 different monsters, except for the riders.

The monsters remind me of these from the first Quake game:

Surprisingly the Daemonic rider isn't an actual daemon, but someone with a whole load of mutations. Since he only has Daemonic Skin like the others rather then the Daemon rules.

Love the mounts though! It's rare we get to see some new mounts for chaos that are nice, big and gribbly.

It looks like they are pushing the "rider and mount share a profile" thing. Bet that is a change in Warhammer 9th, and they are just laying the groundwork for it now.

If they combine the Daemons, Warriors and Beasts lists ala Undead Legions, what do you think the chances are they'll do the same with the Elves lists? I'd love to do a DE/WE army.

Those Nurgle beasts look pretty cool, I just think they all look a bit too similar.

As a DoC player, all I can say is this:

So tired of Nurgle stuff.

Nothing wrong with that.

I can imagine a man-eating monster's bile might have a skull floating in it

Fun models. It's too bad they're not usable as a non-character unit.

On another note, I don't understand the whining about it being a nurgle release. Warriors of Chaos received slaanesh and khorne exclusive units with the new book, now nurgle is being bumped up to match. We know GW will only release so many models with each release, so why form unrealistic expectations.

If it means I can use my Star Dragon again without it standing around confused becuase the rider took an arrow to the knee, I'm all for it!

A Nurgle Rancor, I like!

Now I never thought I would say this but the phlegm is brilliantly done. Usually I find that "effects" don't look right on most models but that is super.
