I like, but WHFB sucks for the most part, and of course there's the price.

Hm... I'm seeing definitely popssibilities in using that nurgle mount for Hellpit parts...

I quite like it, but I'm not too keen on the riders.

From the wording and the fact that these three Heralds seem to be leading the different Chaos armies it looks like the next book is definitely going to be Mono-God. I'm assuming the next part will be Human forces of some kind...?

Pity it seems so Nurgle focused of late, the Daemon side I mean.
Would love some more Tzeentch or Khorne loving.

Khorne has all sorts of crap going for him.

Where the hell is that Tzeentch love?! They're dedicated units are as follows:
-Rubric marines (crap)
-Pink horrors
-Flamers
-Screamers
-2 wizards
-weird chariot flamer thing
-ancient metal greater daemon models.
I don't play demons specifically but new stuff to work with for my Navigator House stuff is nice.

Welp, I really wasn't sure about these guys, but as I try to maintain at least an air of rationality on here (I'm completely bat gak IRL, BTW ) I didn't wish to be part of the crowd who cry the sky is falling when a few low res, blurry shots leak (on the Monday before the White Dwarf drops, almost every week strangely...) so I resolved to wait for big pics and 360s before making up my mind.

That's now happened.

Nope.

I've sadly not got the time or compulsion to read through everything on here. One thing that had popped into my head looking at the new Nurgle riders though...



(You have to have seen the film or know of it to get the reference here)
Am I alone?

Well the price was what I suspected comparable to the motarchs but a little cheaper.

Interesting bundle deals with this one. Beastmen and daemons don't contain any of the new models.

It was rumours (on another site) that this release would last 8 weeks total but I think that's some Bologna. Just my opinion anyways lol

I'll be super peeved if the combined host rules for the Chaos armies are for Nurgle only... Nurgle doesn't need any more love, he's the clear cut best build for WoC, and the Nurgle Wall DoC build is only second fiddle now because it can't answer the BotWD problem the way Slaanesh can.

Poor Khorne & Tzeentch though are mostly complete poop, with only a couple notable exceptions.

And seriously, where in the flying rodent's gak are those plastic Greater Daemons?! Why not fix up & replace those piles of crap before giving us a bunch of new characters only a minority of Chaos players will even want?


If we'd gotten the plastic Greaters with this release, I would have instantly put down for 3 of the 4. (as a Tzeentch loyalist, I'll *never* touch anything Nurgle!)
As it is, I'm likely to not even get the actual book itself since it's apparently just about Nurgle's boys... I'll instead wait for the paperback or inevitable sale the LGS will have to get rid of dusty hardbacks by this time next year.

GLOTTKIN!

Looks very cool, looking forward to seeing good pictures

Hard to tell since the pic is not exactly stellar, but he seems a it redundant, since he look really similar to the maggot lord


Well, I guess he's an even better count as than the maggot lord for a GUO

Nope that's exactly what I thought when I saw it too haha. Glotkin looks cool so far from the crappy picture. Will see properly from better pictures. Does it have 2 riders?

he has 2 riders for sure.

and one of them look like the leper king I so badly want.

Looks interesting. Wonder if this could be a dual Glottkin/Great Unclean One kit

That's definitely way bigger than the maggot lords. Looks probably 1.5 or more larger.

Still won't be buying any of these. They are decent Models and I don't mind nurgle but I'm still waiting for my dear ol Skaven to get some love lol

At first glance I thought these looked amazing.
On closer look though, all the riders look like they're falling forwards off the mount. The mount's leg joints also look a little "gappy" like they're action figures.

If I had the silly money GW were asking I'd maybe get one to work on as a project, but for the price of one model, I could get an entire boxed set game by a different company.
I do actually play Fantasy (3000 pts of Undead and 2500 of Orc/Goblins), but the price of the Nagash rules and the unavailability of the spell cards they made for that release just kinda made me drift away from GW. :-(

But no book...............

Well you can't please everybody, but I think these are suitably gribbly for Nurgle beasts., I'll stick to my goatmen and evil pointy ears.

But i dont wanna wait

I like what they did with them. Though I was hoping for more of a Mortarch type box. With an Undivided mount and then bits to add to make each Herald of Archaon who follow each god.

Just going to leave this here...

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.

My thoughts exactly. The second i saw mortarchs i thought "this is going to be how they handle riders and monstrous mounts".
