Surely this will be a priority as all the other Greater Daemons have been done recently, my only doubt about this is the other GD got resculpted as part of AOS releases if I remember rightly.

The Bloodthirster and Verminlord were redone during WHFB End Times, not AoS.

The new GUO looks a little like the Glotkin. Have a look at the artwork in the Gulleman Vs Morty picture, it's very accurate

new stuff?

Thats Glottkin in the background, I guess he's 40k now?

Probably just a converted GUO.

Gw isnt going to convert a glotkin into another model.. they will sell us wfb models renamed for 40k.

Pretty sure those are the FW conversion kit for Plague Marines.

Indeed.

One of the problems right now on sourcing what is/isn't new Death Guard stuff is that there's material floating around of the sculptor's army and some frankly awesome conversions he did--which does include a Great Unclean One from Glottkin.

They did with the Soulgrinder for WHFB so... what a inmersion breaking model to put into a fantasy setting... urgh.

Those Plague Marines are ENTIRELY conversions.

Far left - FW Torso and shoulders, normal CSM arms.
Power Fist - Mk III running legs (FW), CSM torso with Plaguebearer belly, Assault Marine Power Fist, Blood Angel Death Company Chainsword, old metal Havoc shoulder pads, Mk III backpack, bare head looks to be a zombie head. Severed head on the chest is from the Zombie sprue.
Meltagun 1 - FW Torso and Shoulders, normal CSM arms.
Center Marine - Possessed Legs, CSM Torso, Plaguebearer belly, Possessed head, random spike from CSM sprue, CSM arms - with Plaguebearer champion hand holding heads. Metal DG Havoc shoulders.
Pointing Marine - SM Tactical Torso, legs and arms. Plaguebearer belly. Head looks to be filed down Typhus head with horn swapped for blade. Dark Vengeance Chosen backpack, Metal DG Havoc Shoulders.
Meltagun 2 - CSM torso, legs and head. Imperial SM arms - one holding grenade, one with Chaos Raptor meltagun. Dark Imperium Plague Marine backpack.

I'd not be surprised if the model in the back was a conversion. They certainly have no fear of showing conversions here.

Meh, at least by showing them they're kinda encouraging conversions instead of the stock like they originally wanted us to do.

Glotkin is actually a easy conversion to GUO. Seen a few tutorials online. Got some plasticard to carve out yourself a sword and greenstuff and your set. Make the tentacle arm a hand with sword, use the tentacle as a tail and fix some of the holes around his back as its not going to be used as a mounted throne thingy and bam

Why must you get me excited for such things!

To be fair, it does actually sound reasonable. Perhaps even the release of our glorious Primarch as well to be in time for the fate of Konor?

It would also fit with the rumours that DG are getting info on their release in August

I'm just looking at GW's approuch over all and making some guesses from it based on what I'd do in their shoes, well GW has adopted a "no rules if there is no mini" stand point, releasing a mini a week early or late isn't gonna be a big killer, (early stuff they can put the rules in a box, see the Primaris captain, Libarian and reivers) late stuff isn't a big deal if it's just a week or two. Chapter house isn't going to be able to put together and release a mini based on some new hover tank in a codex in time to beat it's release the next week. (one that would also thus be designed and prepped by GW already and thus all the copyrighting would be handled)

that said if I was gonna make a guess Morty will eaither release with codex death guard, or the following week, he IS kinda the "death guard center piece"

Yeah I doubt Mortarion will be released before the dex. The only thing that made me think it's a slight possibility is that Guilliman is sort of like the main leader of the Primaris, and he was released by himself, well before they were even announced. But I guess he's sort of the "Space Marine centre piece" in general.
I just want Mortarion so bad *weeps*

Gulliman though was released as part of GS3 and thus not part of a codex release. so can't really compare it

Indeed- better point of comparison is to Magnus

even using Gulliman and Magnus, the point remains the same with both, their return was held off until the "capstone" or "finalle" of their event.

Depends on how they split up nurgle. They could do say 2-3 weeks of 40K nurgle with the plague marines, pox walkers, terminators, tank, mortarion, and typhus (maybe another clampack or two) and then a week of AoS nurgle with Beasts and GUOeither at the start or end. And Poxwalkers multipart could be like tzangors, with one sprue of 40k style weapons and arms, and then a base hands and tentacles to add to AoS

I like that tank, you can convert two cheaply from a pair of clogs.

Not in the rotten flesh, but have seen a decent picture of it. I wasn't trusted with it via a permanent media, I saw it on a snapchat

Same as the initial CAD for the other Greater Demon that needs an update...

This is the best comment on the tank so far.

Just the vanilla variant. Although with Ku'gath featuring in the DI novel, I would put money on him being the alternative build.

Did you see any other units for Death Guard/Nurgle Daemons that you can confirm are coming?

I completely forgot about Slannesh, just like GW did until recently...

Yeah.

It happens.

A lot.

Until that burning itch resurfaces, anyway. Then we all remember slannesh. There's always that one ex we remember less than fondly on the way to pick up the Valtrex scrip.
