Both khorne and tzeentch got a huge boost to all factions of theirs for each God.

Nurgle daemons got what, a small plastic update ages ago.
They need an overhaul like the other 2.

Overhaul? Small update? The Plague Bearers, Nurglings, Rot Flies and Herald are all newer than the Khorne and Slaaneshi plastic Daemon releases. They're not getting nor do they need an overhaul. Nurgle are just missing a plastic Greater Daemon, Palanquin and Beast of Nurgle.

Khorne has to get plastic Flesh Hounds and an on-foot plastic Herald, but otherwise is fine.

Slaanesh is in a worse state.

That's a matter of opinion. They have three metal minis that need replacing - the Keeper, Herald, and Fiends - but otherwise their range is completely plastic. You may think that the Daemonettes and Seekers are inferior to the Diaz ones (I know I do), but that doesn't mean that they need an overhaul. They have a mostly plastic range.

Eh, Glottkin is basically GUO.

Glottkin was intended to be GUO but they changed it to what we have now.

Is there an option to not have a rider in the Glottkin kit ?

Yes, you can not place them and make it a count-as GUO. But then again you'd miss on fielding to of the most awesome characters ever made by GW.

And, nurgle knights, chaos warriors, marauders, pestigors and a battletome.

Cheers, I dont play AoS, I just wondered if I needed to greenstuff or anything to use him as a GUO.

Slaanesh is in deep need of a makeover because it has less options and more importantly because it isn't attractive as an army preference. Mono-Slaanesh simply gets bent on the table without relying on StD's.

I was talking more 40K, but in that list the other four Chaos Gods don't have Knights or Chaos Warriors either.

And up until that comment, the complaint was about the Nurgle daemon range. Which none of those are

Theres a few ''holes'' where the riders feets are supposed to go. YOu could fill them with GS or put nurglings on them (what I'll do).

The area between his shoulders does look empty and like something should be there when the smaller brothers are left off, though. The slope, size and horn placement is deliberatly drawing attention to it. It also has a mini-ritual site of sorts, so either place a few Nurglings doing occult stuff/throwing a party there or be ready some conversion work.

I'm in the early stages of turning mine into a GuO as well and I'll probably leave the whole section off and sculpt him regular shoulders. As a plus that leaves that whole stage-like section to be used for a Nurgle warshrine, terrain or a mutated tank or such.


I'm eying the Blue Horrors thanks to the knuckle walking one, if there'd be more in that stance it'd be an instant buy. Chaos mutants walking on their hands are creepy and useful in all sort of conversions and settings. With only one like that, hmh.

PS: Anything Nurgle that can be done as a kit SHOULD be done.

The gryph mount of the Stormcast general seems like a big step up.

The purple giraffe butt is excellent. I think the forelegs could've been left the same as the rest, though.

Are the hooves a good or a bad thing?

With the Tzaangors coming out, I wonder if that means we'll get Khorngors, Slaangors and Pestigors.

Would be pretty amazing, I'd love to get some Khorngors

They already make "Khorngors":

There is no amount of painting step us that can sace that model for me.

Even, if let the fact that its a Stormcast model, its still is a in utter confision.

{sarcasm}

The multi tailed chickengirraffe mount that has some eagle DNA in it and most likely drank too much Troll blood. Just highlights the former Slaanesh worshipping Bretonnian ascendent, who propebly killed a couple of white lions or stoled a piece of Leman Russ`s fur coat. Atleast one the scenarios would explain why is he looking at with a face what expresses: "What the duck are you looking at? " or "What the duck I am really doing here? I am late for lunch."
Just mentioning the they have made a picture in one the most worst angle of the model. Since one of the little lightnings are looking like some kind gue thats comming of the lions nose from the mounts breastplare.

{/sarcasm}

In short it can of dissapoints that we are getting the Space Marine treatment for Stormcasts, while there are no new models for Elves, Dwarfs and men what I would even buy, if GW could make me attach to them..... Oh well EEFL.

They actually made Khorngor and Pestigor models:

[edit for spelling]

Giving Brayherd and Warherd models the ability to take marks against would help a great deal, honestly. They obviously exist in the fluff, they gained the ability to be marked during the end times, but right now... Nothing. At least beyond one narrative battalion.

Has been for ages hasn't it?

Atia strongly implied Pestigors are coming on Bolter and Chainsword:

Hmm, very interesting. I wonder if it will mean a Tzeentch and Nurgle alliance to take the cities of Order.

Their warriors appearing in the next WQ could definitely hint at that.


:Earlier post from Warhammer site:

It is indeed the Auxiliary Room opened by Sigmar to counter the threat of Tzeentch. 

Huh, thought it was the harbinger chamber not the auxiliary one.

Now that you say it... maybe we are wrong in our predictions. Think about it, khorne, the strongest god, was the first released. Then tzeentch, the second-strongest. What if the next one is Nurgle and then Slaanesh instead of the other way around?

Hastings talked about a Plague army coming up, Atia has talked about Pestigors - it's been smart money on Nurgle after Tzeetch for a while

It would be good for warhammer quest if it was nurgle and tzeetch. Plus maybe new heroes, although the box art suggests not, maybe the pestigors and such will be in this box?

Since Nurgle does not have a battletome I'm convinced that when they do it they will bring some new kits for the Plague army. Loads of of slots available as I mentioned before.

Its ok demon wise but we need some beastmen or mortals troops.

If Pestigors are happening, I really hope Khorne gets some new Minotaur sculpts. They are fine at the moment but they would look truly stunning with the detail possible now.

I'd love some really dynamic poses, like one roaring into the face of some tiny human, saliva/blood flinging from its gob, veins rippling across muscles and tiny cracks in the horns.

Rumor only, and only building on my on biased opinion but I do hope this next arc (starting with Tzeentch includes the Light/Shadow Realm & Slaanesh story line). Really think this will happen before end of the year.

That doesn't look like Lady Atia said that on Boldter and Chainsword. To me it looks like she said it on her website and someone linked a pic/screenshot taken from The War of Sigmar site.

*edit*

Yup. I am correct. She didn't say this on Bolter and Chainsword at all. Click on the picture you will see someone linked to it. This was said 4 months ago on her own website comment section.

She linked that picture from her blog. That's her post.

I would be a little annoyed if Nurgle got more before Slaanesh. Nurgle could use some more, but got rotbringers not too long ago.
Slaanesh has an ironic lack of love.
