I'd like to start a feed to find out if anyone else has caught on but with the release of TS came the Blue paint pot with thier name.

In the latest GW catalogue xmas thing you see in ur local storethis time of year I was made aware of a paint that has not been released before and isnt on shelves - Death guard Green

Can anyone shed light onto the possibility of this GW easter egg well xmas egg?

Ohhh....Thats an interesting tidbit. Will check and see if I can find that tomorrow.

Apparently someone posted earlier that the paint was pulled and is no longer scheduled for an X-Mas release?

Whoops

Sounds like someone might have done something they shouldn't have.

The infamous Hastings posted a rumour that a plague army is coming next year so this seems likely.

Jesus, what are we gonna do if its Death Guard?

Wasnt there an artist or sculptor that also mentioned he was working on something plaguey?

It was posted somewhere in that mess of a Magnus/Traitor Legions thread. I don't have the patience to go sift through.

Coax my wallet down out of the tree once it stops crying.

In relation to the Cannoness model maybe we could look forward to some models for death guard from Mr Blaches work? There was a comment on fb in regards to him being approached by the inquisimunda group to do a ks of his art in 3d model work.
He obviously couldnt do this due to GW owning his work but he replied with something along those lines and finished with - "dont worry there is something in the works".
Take this as you will but I have a feeling the canoness is just the beggining.

Well, if I were GW, I would have redone a lot of the regular CSM range, namely the basic Chaos Space Marine kit, and released the five Chaos Undivided Legions as upgrade sprues. I would have done the four chaos devoted legions after that.

Oh well, perhaps we will see new Noise Marines after this.

Well, if true, my Siege of Terra Death Guard force might be starting next year.

Agreed. Focus needs to move to slanesh the neglected of the gods

Hastings' quotes are in Pretre's tracker thread. To sum it up

- 40k plague army
- Mortarion was mentioned amongst the five Primarch Hastings is looking forward to (aka going to be released)
- he didnt say Marines for a reason

Take a look into the original posts, it is not much yet but Hastings is a very good source and his hints are valid.

I dont think it will be Death Guard only (based on what he said so far), if DG at all. Could also be Hruds or Lost and the Damned.

OMG

I can build awesome DG with Blightking bits and bigger legs I sculpted, but a real kit? Even if it's a year late for my DG Kill Team that'd be awesome. I might even manage a small army if every model doesn't take 10 hours or more


And with Tzaangors we might even get plague zombies. A zombie kit, potentially a mix of the great human dollies of the GSC and Blightking/Nurgle Lord gribblyness? Oh my. Or an AOS zombie kit with upgrade sprue (which they should sell seperately) for 40k. Both would be fine. Gigantic bloated Cult Termis? Shut up and take my money.

I'll be honest, though, ANYTHING CSM that isn't Dinobots or a terribly expensive clampack like Khârn will open my wallet. Even my least favourite stuff, the Rubric Marines, are tempting me to get a box and Ahriman.


EDIT: Well, I'd gladly take plague LatD or plague Skaven (in spaaaace) instead/as well. Big mutant kit or those Nurgle astronaut possessed or new anything? Sure!

Here is the sake in case this thread doesn't get locked

It would be great to see some new Death Guard. The old finecast set is looking really tired.

I'm interested to see what the 2017 release schedule is like. I can't imagine the Death Guard will arrive any time soon though. It doesn't seem practical to release a new Daemon Primarch every month.

Well ok, but we want plastic Plague Marines/Terminators.

Aw sick that green looks like a better fit for my Ta'uanr scheme than the death world forest one I have. Hopefully it comes out soon so I can swap since i haven't started painting yet.

Yay! Long time DG fan, was already going back to them when I saw the Traitor Legions book was on it's way, really hyped to see if there are new plastic kits now. Considering how good the blight kings turned out, I have high (with some trepidation) hopes for this! If it actually happens, that is. For all we know it might just be a paint and little else...

This is the release that brings me back into 40k if it turns out to be true

I don't know if I would expect every one of the Chaos gods to get a PA kit and a Terminator kit. Perhaps they will, which would be cool. A zombies kit instead of Tzaangors would be cool. A new, plastic, Typhus would be in order as well. Don't know what other kits they would really need.

Termies would make a lot of sense though; DG used them extensively during the Heresy and they fit DG's slow-moving, implacable play style. A 40k version of Deathshroud or Grave Wardens would be really nifty.

I think that they should do that, so that everyone has something of 'parity' for the 4 main:


Thousand Sons
Ahriman
3 Sorcerers
5 Rubric Terminators
10 Rubrics Marines
10 Tzaangors

World Eaters
Kharn
3 Marines on Juggers
5 Berzerker Terminators
10 Berzerkers (with a new kit - a man can dream!!!)
5 Berzerker Assault Marines (let WE have their Jump Packs!)

Emperor's Children
Lucius the Eternally Useless
3 Sonic Bikers (one in the kit can be built as DOOMRIDER!)
5 Noise Marine Terminators (options for big glaives/spears ala corrupted Phoenix Guard)
10 Noise Marines
Sonic the Hedge Hog Helbrute/Daemon Engine of some kind.

Death Guard
Typhus
[Not sure what the equivalent to the 3 Sorc box would be for them]
5 Plague Terminators
10 Plague Marines
10 Plague Zombies

It would be fantastic, and of course Chaos would get plastic Havocs, a combined plastic Oblit/Mutilator kit, and a new plastic 10-man Chaos Marine box. Maybe even a 5-man Chosen box if people want it. And a plastic PA Lord, and Sorc Lord, Dark Apostle and Warpsmith.

(/wishlisting into oblivion)

Morty won't want Sorcerers so some cool beasts of nurgle maybe.

God I usually hate wishlisting threads but I really hope this happens

Oh, yes, and it goes without saying you'd get all four - Magnus, Angryman, Scytheboy and Silverhair.

So if it's going to be anything like the Thousand Sons release, here's what I expect:

Mortarion, huge centrepiece model.
Death Guard Space Marine squad.
Death Guard Terminator squad (possibly based on the Cataphractii armour? Since the Thousand Sons were based on the Tartaros suits, just wild speculation)
Plague zombies/guardsmen/cultists, whatever might be equivalent to the Tzaangors of the Thousand Sons release.

As I'm searching for equivalents to the Thousand Sons release, those all match up. The one I'm not sure about is the exalted sorcerers. An equivalent box for Death Guard could just be a command set or something, which is a little boring and could be covered by the other sets. Maybe it'd be swapped for just a Typhus clamshell or something, but then that would be the straight swap for Ahriman of the release. So I'm not sure! But the four sets above are about the bare minimum I'd expect now after the Thousand Sons release.

SPECULATION ENDS. WISHLISTING BELOW.

What I'd reeeeaaaally love to see, however, is an equivalent clamshell to the Nurgle Champion from a few years back. Such a great, easily convertible figure. In actual fact, I wouldn't begrudge GW at all for taking that figure and simply adding a bolter and chaos backpack to it. It'd be a nice throwback to the days of adding sci fi elements to the fantasy and vice versa.

("Hey boss, I took those elf wardancers and started adding eldar weapons to them and masks and stuff. I quite like them."
"Genius! Let's release them and call them Harlequins!")

Man I hope so. I know the new Thousand Sons release has been really well received in the community, but I hope that it was financially successful too. That should make a good case to releases new stuff for the remaining 3 chaos factions/gods/groups.

I did, however, read a rumour somewhere (I believe it was from Sad Panda) saying that GW didn't have any plans for symmetrical releases for Nurgle, Slaanesh or Khorne. I'll see if I can dig the quote out...

EDIT: Found it! This is the pretre quoting Sad Panda in this thread:

PENDING 40k Rumors - Oct 2016
No. I only know of one other not-FW primarch in the pipeline. He'll be "Team Imperium" and part of setting up the story for 8th.

There may be more I simply haven't heard about, but as with Daemonkin, I can assure you that there is no plan to go through the four Chaos Gods with symmetrical releases. That's not how the 40K story evolution for the next year or so (from the tiny bits I know) is set up.

A hrud codex would be an exciting new take and a good oportunity to try a new style of play albiet a very unique one.

An aura that can age you 50 years in a short time would change the playing field for deathstars and other combats.

It's what each loyalist chapter with a codex gets at minimum.
