And the nurgle with the fly wasn't for the beast, afterall.

I agree. It’s very iconic nurgle look. I don’t normally like Nurgle stuff but these guys and the tree are great. It’s weird how AoS exclusive mini’s always seem to be GW’s best. I’m assuming these guys are mortals since trident.

Again, I don't know that we've seen everything coming in the faction. I wouldn't worry too much about Nurgle Mortals lacking variety. And Wayniac, I'm work blocked, so I can't look at the community article, but does it show a warscroll for the Pusgoyles? This may be a unit that can be taken one model at a time, in which case, buying two boxes would give you a hero AND three units.

Doesn't show the scroll yet. The picture has 2 of them, so presumably the unit size starts at 2. The concern is less what the warscroll says, and more the pitched battle profile which may be different. E.g. if the pitched battle is 2 to 6, you'll either have 1 (paying for 2) or 3 (paying for 4) or 5 (paying for 6) and be out points on a model if you choose to make one a Lord. It won't matter in Open or Narrative, but will be "wasting" points in Matched. Apparently it's 2 per box from what I am reading.

In either case, you may want to wait until you see the Match Play profile before hitting the "this is BS" button.

Surprised the Blightlords are in that size box. Must be lots of options in the kit if it only makes 2.

GUO being 20€ more expensive than Bloodthirster and LOC hurts. Just 5€ more than Skarbrand, ok... but it still hurts.
And 32,5€ for a single beast of Nurgle is too much. If at least they where more like a Dreadnought ingame... but they aren't.

If it's anything like the Blightkings kit, it will. Based off that image, it looks like they have revealed everything being released in the faction. That's kind of surprising. I was expecting this release to be closer in size to what Death Guard got. I'm sure they'll expand this and other factions in the future, though. So I wonder what the last 2 Days of Nurgle will show.

The beasts of Nurgle and the Blight Tree.

That seems a little ridiculous even for GW.

I can only imagine the GUO is a fair bit bigger.

Is this user on Warfo the source?

Yes. I make an account to try to get more info :p

Thanks

Dracothian Guard are also 2 to a box, have a character option and have tons of options. Don't have the Battletome handy, but can they be taken as units of 1?

That may be a good barometer on if the Blightlords can also be taken solo.

No they cant, its 2+ for dracothian guard.

Yeah, two man boxes at that price. Or a 55€ hero with a free grunt. Yay. 33€ Beasts. Lol. I'm happy for them and all with their factory running non-stop, but I'll get the Maggoth Lord I still haven't bought at not a lot more via import and stick to my planned centaur beast conversions.

All those minaitures are rather cool, I planned on buying GUO and beast.. but at those prices, no thanks.

That's GHB's thing, though. Their warscroll means no minimum, so maybe they will do things right this time.

Haha, well it looks like GW tossed those "lower prices" suggestions into the bin.

Regardless, those Blightlords do look amazing. Really the whole army is going to be terrifying to see on the battlefield. I'm tempted to get a few just for narrative battles.

Edit: Also wow, they get a start collecting that quickly?!

Also, Lady Atia just commented that GW have the designs for Pestigors but has no idea why they didn't show up yet. She suspects maybe in a Bloodbowl team.

GW posted a teaser about the upcoming WD. January seems to be Nurgle's month.

It seems it will have two short stories providing more clues as to what Malign Portents is. If it is a Death release it looks like it is backed up to late January and February.

Great stuff.

The ancient evil bit makes me wonder if they are actually talking about Nagash. He's not really evil (certainly not nice) so maybe Portents will feature something like a God-beast rising again?

Also, shower thought, Malign Portents can be reworded to Dark Omens, the game that focused on Nagash in the first place.

Klats... it pains me to tell you but WD is clearly pro-Azyrite propaganda, so it must refer to our benevolent overlord Nagash.

That's Start Collecting: Daemons of Nurgle, not Rotbringers.

GUO is smaller than the glootkin and thats ok but smaller than a maggoth lord? Maybe its just the pictures but looks rather smallish.

Blightkings look awesome but not on those bugs. I would love to see smaller critter demons since all seems a collection of unique sculpts rather than a army.

Eh its an okay looking release...I feel like mortals needed one more kit. But the pricing will likely kill this release for me.

too bad we didnt get a new Epidemius
some of the nurglings on him are god awful

No, you CAN'T have new marauders or beastmen, you need to be THIS elite to get a new model. And at least 8 foot and 250 pounds. Who wants mere humans* to establish a baseline for other stuff to look imposing in comoarison. Pffft.

The release and the Seven Days of Nurgle announcement was a great surprise. They pricing was a stark reminder that GW is gonna GW no matter what. I can get a BB team or a Necro gang or a single BoN with totally crappy rules and going by the ones shown so far a decent selection of bits, but basically no posing options. Mhm. But 50% more than a Blighthauler.


*unless of course they can morph into warform or gain rudiculous size and mass through cannibalism a la Acolytes and Reavers.

Drat... (though to be fair, he's put the Azyrites through enough to be clarified as evil. And it's looking like he's not done yet. )

Whoops, my mistake.

All this chaos stuff tends to run together for me.

You may want to switch to decaff, Binabik. As far as this release goes, yeah, I would have liked to have seen some Nurgly marauders, but it does sort of give Nurgle the theme of an incredibly resilient, tanky army.

Yeah, let's give it a little more time.

It could be a nice turn of events if Atia's right and Pestigors and Mortals pop up for Bloodbowl instead.

Anyone else desperate to know what the Plague Tree does or hemot works?
