With that chassis it screams for different main gun loadouts and/or conversions

Yeah I can totally see that. Possibly a Whirlwind type thing where we can choose an anti-infantry or anti-tank gun

That DP conversion is interesting. My first thought is that it seems to be using bits from the Crypt Haunter kit

Are GW more open to showing conversions in their official images now?

So I have a few rumors of absurdly dubious quality I wanna share, from a friend who always offers these wonderfully questionable rumors when we meet up to play, with what basically amounts to "my uncle who works at Nintendo" style sourcing. But I'm sharing anyways because I'm excited about potential releases and he has occasionally been correct.

Spoiler:
Three variations on normal plague marines: The default version we know and love (and have already seen), a havoc variation (with some new weapons we haven't seen), and a melee variation (the leaked flail guy presumably). Basically giving us chosen, havoc and normal CSM variants of plague marines.

Terminators, but lacking the normal loadout options. Plague spitter as the default weapon???? Can deepstrike at 7" rather than the normal 9".

We are getting some sort of mounted unit. (Assuming true... the thing whose feet we saw?).

The plaguecrawler has a few variant loadouts, but this is the only unique vehicle.

The fetid drone is getting more loadout options when it gets a stand alone kit.

Typhus is getting a new model, along with morty, and a new demon prince model is coming at some point.


So yeah... I'm pretty sure a few of these are misunderstandings of existing leaks but who knows.

I think the many footed thing is either a new Beast or a new Nurgle monster of some sort. We have seen it in the art.
I would doubt mounted cavalry. Just doesn't seem Death Guard style.

I also doubt a new DP model. Especially as we have just seen that conversion.

All the rest is probably true though.

Either way I am excited though. Probably more so for new Deamon stuff than new mortal stuff.
But that's just me.

But great gods it feels like years since the new Nurgle stuff was rumoured/announced.
And it still aint out.
GW taking an eternity on this one.

I wouldn't count on any solid announcements from GW until at least after the Space Marine codex is out, as they'll want the focus to be on marines. But after then, we may even see some units come before the codex release, perhaps Morty and our proper Plague Marine kit around the same time as the CSM codex comes.
More likely though we won't be seeing model releases until our codex but I'm willing to bet we'll at least see some model reveals not long after the Space Marine codex is out. Daemon stuff will probably be a lot later though unfortunately with their own codex. Luckily for me, I'm a Death Guard player more than a Daemon player

Yeah the 3-4+ month post-video reveal delay in releasing all the Death Guard stuff is insane, especially considering the fact that they are one of the two main armies of the 8th release and that the Fate of Kronor is about to start. Really sucks to get this delay, which is probably to hype up (sigh) primaris uber marines as much as possible and to push all these little snapfit box kits.

Give us a real release already!

Losing!

I can't even write loosing without the auto correct having a moan. Loose is to be less tight.

But yeah the reveal period is far too long for these guys, I have the feeling that daemons won't be making an appearance in the book though, but if they do I'm sold.

The bit that struck me as odd was the terminator rules, but who knows for sure. Maybe I just am in denial because I really want my existing terminators to carry over.

I almost kinda believe the Calvary thing? I mean, maybe not a unit but an optional mount for an HQ might be true? It seems less silly than the existing palanquin at least.

But yeah, the wait is too long. On that we all agree.

Could be the 40K-ified Maggoths people were speculating about? In that either those could be the cavalry, or that speculation could have prompted the rumour.

Perhaps CSM have terminators with the mark of Nurgle and regular wargear options, while codex Deathguard has a Nurgle terminator equivalent with more exotic weaponry

CSM will have a Mark of Nurgle that non-Death Guard Nurgle Terminators will be able to take, but Death Guard will surely only be able to take the new Death Guard specific terminators, much like Thousand Sons with our SOT's.

I wouldn't think so.

The Death Guard is made up of Plague Marines, but not all Plague Marines are from the Death Guard.
The Thousand Sons is made up of Thousand Sons Marines... and that's all they can be.

A Black Legionnaire that dedicates himself to Nurgle does become a Plague Marine.
A Black Legionnaire that dedicates himself to Tzeentch doesn't become a Rubric Marine.

All of the above is true, but does that mean Death Guard will be able to take [non-special-deathguard-terminators] in addition to [special-deathguard-terminators]? Right now you straight up CAN'T take Chaos Terminators who belong to the Death Guard legion.... which is extremely frustrating to an old school DG player. Can't wait for the real book and for terminators.

My guess is that we'll have our Death Guard termies in our book and, if normal termies can have the mark of Nurgle, they'll be in the CSM book

Well I'd say they shouldn't be able to take non-Cult Terminators, but they should still get regular weapon options.

Which seems unlikely given the index. We are going to have our unique loadout, whatever that may be.

Unless that guy who messaged about the forgeworld DG terminator conversion actually got somewhere with GW. The fact that forge world technically sold DG terminators for 40k might be enough for us to get them in legacy style. GW tends to be go both ways with the model=rules thing.

This is more like wishlisting, but I think it would be awesome if the plague crawler tank has a second build option with the hull the other way round (the lower side at the front, like a sicaran). THat way they have a dual kit from which the variants look nothing alike at first glance

One hint at MAYBE getting a new Daemon Prince model is the Warp Bolter option listed in the index. With GWs new WYSIWYG style wargear options, this one stands out. Who has a Bolter armed Daemon Prince model? The Kai gun artifact from 3.5?

Nurgle Prince kit is the old metal one, and no wings. I grabbed one when they were brand new. Its great, but in desperate need of an update. The Prince Kit represents the 3 other Gods and Undivided Traitors evenly, but Nurgle requires conversions, and GW hasn't been too friendly about conversions or anything not assembled out of the box.

Just a thought.

True....however....

You do have Mercenary Thousand Sons Sorcerers who create Rubrics for the other Legions. Or hire their services out. So, it does happen.

Please don't Scarab Occult us GW.

We're not spirits bound to armoured shells. We can be tactically flexible. Please let our Terminators remain flexible.

Look at the Plague Marines in the Chaos Index.

Those things aren't even remotely standard. They're either FW conversion kits or odd hybrids of Imperial, Chaos Space Marine and Plaguebearer kits!

The Nurgle prince (metal or finecast) has a warp bolter . It's the bug on his bracer on the non sword arm.

Adding wings is a snap if you have some spare drone wings.

I'm hoping CSM can take the Mark of Nurgle on regular Termies to have normal weapon options for Nurgle style Termies. But I'm hoping Death Guard cult termies get weapon options for being either Deathshroud or Grave Wardens. Power Scythes are the thing I'd love to see on them.
We've already seen that they'll be getting at least some new options, as the little image we've seen so far of one is wielding a Plague Spitter.

the exact rumor is "Lacking the NORMAL options" this suggests to me that Plague Terminators will have options just differant ones. such as rather then a heavy flamer they'll be able to take a "Noxis bile thrower" etc

that said even if they have less options they'll proably be worth taking. keep in mind this is going to be cataphracti plate combined with disgustingly resiliant. they'll be plenty hard to kill.

Opinions are not facts please don't confuse the two

It'll probably be the same as the rubric terminators. They'll have the twin Bolter, a stock power weapon of some kind, and 3 different range upgrades to choose from.

I like how Rubric Terminators work right now, so I'm confident in the current rule writers to do the right thing.

Technically so do the scarab terminators, with their various heavy weapon options. I think most of us are assuming that those will be there, just less sure about melee options and base weapon options. No combi weapons would hurt fairly hard given we'd lack any deepstriking melta/plasma fun. No melee options would similarly be frustrating.

Surely you'd rather they made them unique and a valid interesting faction, rather than chaos marines with +1 toughness etc.
