This is going to hurt. I just finished painting the last of my 1k sons and now I feel bad for jumping ship from my beloved first army CSM themed DG which are now truly DG. I am sorry Papa Nurgle, please forgive me.

Indeed. And that cultist. I've never seen someone so happy to be covered in rot and scabs!

I hope we get new plaguebearers. The current ones stink...no pun intended.

Don't see any Melta or Plasma guns, only some instrument? A Plasma pistol and some two handed weapon.

New load outs for the Plague Marines?

The crazy slasher smiles suit nurglians to a tee.

yeah, claiming that this confirm nurgle for AOS is absurd to say the least<.

Two thumbs up for Nurgle cultists. God-dedicated cultists is pretty much a dream come true

Hope we will see some for the two others( I guees tazaangors play that part for Tzeentch)

All of this is absolutely glorious. That Termie head is soooooo creepy its amazing.

GW showing no mercy.

They take an existing rumor from a reliable source, add a bit of their own "spin" to it, and then poof--they can start to put forth their own nonsense as being just as credible as those rumormongers.

On a War of Sigmar blog post discussing the "plague colony" formation, Lady Atia mentions Pestigors -->https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/1454

A pedant might say that they do not specifically mention "dual-kit Pestigors for use in both 40k and AoS" but given the context it seems eminently reasonable. That, I think, was the point Thebiggesthat was trying to make.

Best thing is with little work you can make these look like some regular mutants. The hype is real.

Pestigors are Beastmen, not Daemons.

And Lady Atia is not Hastings.

That's the point I'm trying to make. It's one thing for there to be rumors for a "Nurgle Rotbringers" book(which, as some have mentioned, seemed like a certainty) and it's another thing for there to be rumors of reworked Daemons of Nurgle.

I didn't realize that one was substantially less reliable than the other. To your second point, who suggested that there were such rumors? Someone saying "all but confirmed Nurgle in Aos" can be interpreted rather broadly.

As a devoted servant of Nurgle, I am the most excited about a release since Rotbringers! These look amazing!

I'm a bit torn on this release.

On the one hand, the paint job on these new guys looks too... clean. Not enough of the armor looks corroded, rusted, blighted, etc. Hopefully, more of the models will have bloated/rotting organs spilling out of power armor, and pustules and open sores on skin or armor. Maybe some slime or sludge seeping out, too?

OTOH, those grins are downright creepy, and the cultist is spot on.

If the full release are up to my standards, my Word Bearers may have some new sickly neighbors...

I said AoS Nurgle. But keep moving those goalposts. Pathetic, absolutely pathetic

I suggest you reread what I posted.

It's not that one is less reliable than the other. It's that claiming a statement from Lady Atia about Pestigors coming(which ties in to Nurgle Rotbringers for Age of Sigmar--Pestigors are a thing we've had traditionally in WHFB, but not 40k) is somehow the same statement from Hastings about Daemons of Nurgle getting a rework.

As to my second point? What Thebiggesthat said was that this Death Guard release is somehow proof of an AoS Nurgle release. Pestigors are not, as far as we know, a part of this. They certainly weren't shown in any of the stuff here like Tzaangors were for Thousand Sons.

So first we got Thousand Sons. Now, roughly six months later, we are getting Death Guard. Hopefully, if the two-data-point pattern () continues, we will see Emperor's Children this fall and a revamp of World Eaters early next year.

But really, Death Guard are my least favorite Legion. I have never cared for the grotesque nature of Nurgle stuff.

I am also hoping for new upgrade sprues like what Space Marines got for the remaining non-Cult legions. Give me Night Lords and Iron Warriors!

So 1KSons had all Tartaros and Mk IV armour, and Death Guard appear to be the earlier Mk III and Cataphractii. ENiiiice.

Yes. That is pretty awesome. Makes conversions a lot easier. Also makes it so someone who wants to play Death Guard can just use the Mk III set and Cataphractii set if they don't want a Nurgle-Nurgle-ized army but still want to look the part.

My 30k Death Guard are almost exclusively Mk3 and Cataphractii, won't stop me getting these beautoes though

Yeah...If I wanted to make Death Guard, it would be using their 30K color scheme and aesthetic, but with the 40K rules. The green and white contrast very well. Plus, less ick factor.

Makes me wonder what they would do for Emperor's Children and Khorne. Possibly a swap of the pairs. Mk IV and Cataphractii for EC, Mk III and Tartaros for WE? Though Mk IV and Tartaros pair incredibly well together.

Funnily enough I'm thinking 30k rules with 40k models (well, a mix) as a Siege of Terra force.

Nice. That certainly works as well. You can keep your ick factor. I get enough of that at work (hospital nurse in medival/surgical ICU).

My goodness, so much drama.

These models are something to celebrate.

Don't forget World Eaters armor was originally based off MkV Heresy Armor when Jes Goodwin did the WE sculpt.

Good point. Perhaps Mk V and Indomitus Pattern for World Eaters?

At any rate, I am glad Chaos is getting more stuff. Between this and the all-but-guaranteed Mortarion, Death Guard will be looking pretty good.

(Still gross though. Until you have had to a wound dressing on a gaping abdominal wound with undigested food LEAKING out of the intestines, you won't understand)

I'm really excited if that confirms the leaked Mortarian - because that model is amazing looking (even if we can barely make it out from those pictures).

I love Death Guard.
So why aren't these images getting my juices flowing?
btw I really like the AoS Blight Kings & bought a set to turn into obits.

DG are pretty neat but I a more of an EC fan and the going rumor is Fulgrim will be the next Daemon Primarch kit.

That said, I am not above getting some DG if the models are super awesome - esp. true of Mortarion*, who I always liked more than XIV Legion, really. Just not really sure about some of these models, which maybe are a little too goofy - looking at you, creepy smile termie!

Also - does anyone else find Nurgle stuff hard to paint? Theoretically, it should be easy to make something look beat up and dirty but IME there is a thin line between a model that looks corroded and filthy and a model that just looks like a patchwork mess. In some ways, it's easier to paint a pristine suit of PA than a Nurgle-encrusted one. Here and here are pics of the first Nurgle model I ever attempted (a DG guy!) and I never liked how it turned out.

*I just love Mortarion's crappy attitude.

That's personal pet peeve of mine, people use "Nurgle" to justify the most haphazard and messy paint jobs.

I find Nurgle stuff fairly easy to get satisfactory results from, but you still need a coherent idea behind a scheme and to pay attention to things like the pattern of corrosion etc to get a good result.
