yep ty. these guys just hate EVERYTHING with no reasoning. miserable people. models GREAT

I have Magnus, and was thinking of selling him off as I haven't gotten around to building him.

Now, I'm not so sure, as I really like Mortarion's desgin.

I would love to have some sort of stratagem/ army bonus or whatever they're called if we run all 4 daemon primarchs on the table together (once they get around to Angron and Fulgrim that is).

Some sort of 4 horsemen of the apocalypse type scenario. Heck, maybe let Abaddon join in the fun.

I really do hope that is Typhus speaking. With his lore he is the perfect star scream. And the whole Megatron/Starscream/Soundwave thing going on in this video is amazing!

If that is infact just a regular Termy, it seems weird that he'd talk down to the tallyman, who I'm guessing must be an HQ, or Elite choice. He could be a new lord of contagion model from a kit as well, or just a conversion. Either way, it's a cool model.

I hope we get swarms of flying nurglings!

I love that the tallyman has an abacus and a megaphone, a nice 'chaotic' mix of equipment. I hope we works like Epidimius does for demons (and formerly for anything Nurgly, even enemies), that he buffs all units.

Tallyman adding up stuff on his Abacus thing. Gets on Megaphone. "Hey dudes! We're doin good keep it up bros!"
A cacophony of upbeat farts echo across the battlefield...

Alternatively...

Frantically sliding beads on his Abacus. A piercing feedback breaks through the Megaphone. "Uhh... Guys. We're getting WASHED (derogatory for deathguard) out there!
one lone sad fart squeaks from a nearby Nurgling.

I'm pretty sure that's just a death shroud model isn't it?

38k years into the future and of all things that had to survive...it's the term "fudge the numbers".

The Chaos Defeat in Konor is fake news.

For some reason I always read Garro's lines in Cobra Commanders voice.

Here's a re-paint on it, no purple, grungier, maybe some will change their minds a bit, I think the model is solid -

That does make Morty look a whole lot better: less snot more rust, nice job!

As for the DeathShroud/Typhus, anyone else notice how flat his stance is? Like the upper and lower body are all one piece in a standing position, kinda like the easy fit models' flat stance.

Also, the Tallyman looks great.

YES. That Mortarion looks SO much better.

That repaint is absolutely fantastic. Makes the model look wonderful.

Must say, I've never been a DG fan especially not the new models. When I first saw Mortarion I didn't like it at all. But now i see its all a paint job problem - that repaint looks terrific. Absolutely terrific.

Morty looks amazing. Love the Tallyman. And so long as that is not Typhus (no iconic helmet...), I am very very pleased.

Now THAT is the Death Guard I know and love!

Sounds like Typhus to me, especially with the animosity towards Mortarion. Due to the vagueness of Facebook commentary he might just be a character upgrade you can make out of the new Terminator kits.

From a strictly technical standpoint he actually looks worse in the new pictures due to severe flaws in the sculptors perception of anatomy and the golden cut.

What is your basis for comparison? Could you please show me a sculpt that represents your personal vision of menacing that has proper anatomy? I'm not calling you out, I genuinely want to see better because I love this model.

No offence but if you love this model you probably wouldn't understand anyway. its all about subtlety, knowing what to hide and what to show backed up by perfect structure of the subject body. I am not aware of such a model since most sculptors are inspired by cartoons.



PS: Look at the deathshrouds gauntlet, its a mini plague spitter.

Ah, ok. Now I get it. Nevermind, I didn't realize I was talking to /r/iamverysmart. Christ, why do I engage?

Let's chill the discourse a bit, that said I do agree that the gun on the death guard terminator's arm might indicate him to be a death shroud, perhaps a death shroud champion would have the stature to talk down to a tallyman. I'd be fine with that because current Typhus is fine.

*GW if you are reading this pm me for the address to send the cheque to'

Damn that was a pretty stunning turnaround in tone for this thread lol...

He's hovering above the field hunchbacked and dripping pus while carrying that badass weaponry. What's not menacing about that?

In no small part to the Photoshop repaint, which somehow also made the picture clearer.

High pass filter in photoshop is a pro trick to sharpen images, that and a liberal dose of burning and dodging, curves and levels and then a repaint gets you there...

I think we are getting two different types of terminators. 1 box set with 2 builds. A basic Death Guard terminator and Deathshroud terminators. We've already seen a terminator holding a plaguespitter in a past DG teaser too. Unless he's just a Deathshroud heavy weapons option. They do need to fill out an entire codex so it would make sense. They would satisfy old players because they're old models will still be playable as promised by GW and they would still have motivation to buy the new kit. By combining the 2 kits into 1 they don't risk the new basic DG terminators not selling either.

Well, it could go either way.

Typhus hates Mortarion. He literally belittles him infront of Kuglath in Dark Imperium, saying hes trash, and he only got to where he is because of Tyhpus doing what he did.
The multipole bone stacks on his back look like the destroyer hive.

but the other way is the tentacles isn't Typhuses thing and the helmet isn't like his usual, close but not quite. but they could have changed it up, cause CHAOS

As for the current model. I cant fathom how you think its still good. Its garbage, just like abbadon is garbage and Lucius. So snall its out of place. Most people converted up a Lord of Cont from DI set with scythe and gave him destroyer hibes on his back with greenstuff to make him the right size now.

I just remembered.

I wonder if any intrepid converters are willing to go and carve the names of the grand masters Draigo carved into Mortarion's chest. Despite being a fan of all things nurgle, that would be awesome and hilarious to boot.

The abacus seems like the setup to a really horrible "death and taxes" joke.

Don't think that's Typhus, looks to be the Champion of what was formerly known as the Deathshroud Terminators. In the wide shot with Mortarion behind him, you can see another scythe-wielding Terminator with the same fungal stacks to the right of the tallyman.

About the Terminator of the video

Hadn't noticed the cloak at that stage. Combined with the gold knee plating that's absent on the other bloke, those are definitely markings of an important character.

Looking forward to more

love everyone saying the models great all the sudden now with a color change. lawl so quick to judge

My complaint was a combination of the paint scheme and the blured photo.
