Yep, I'd say it's safe to expect 2-3 generic Daemon inspired kits (beast of nurgle, great unclean one, maybe a proper daemon prince?)

I wouldn't expect a Daemon Prince--we've had mentions of Maggoths as part of Mortarion's host though, and I'm personally liking the idea of Maggoths becoming daemonic beasts both ridden and unridden.

**Azreal13**

That video still - it's Plaguebearers riding giant snails, I'm sure of it.

**darthryan**

I have visions of swapping the rider for a chaos marine and having speedy snails like from the neverending story. They would be perfect nurgle bikers

**Galas**

Cavalry with 1" Movement. Nice!

**Thebiggesthat**

I got some nastiness from Kan and Street Samurai when I suggested a simultaneous AoS and 40k release

OOOOHHHHH YYEEEEEAAAHH.

**Azreal13**

It might not be, the video is an AOS video and we have zero indication there'll be 40K rules at this point.

It would just be cool if there were.

**Inquisitor Kallus**

Daemon releases were generally across both systems at the same time

**Azreal13**

Fantasy models generally came on square bases.

I don't think we can take anything for granted any more.

Especially considering Maggoths, Glotkin etc, which while only pseudo-Daemonic, certainly could easily have been adapted long ago.

Just look at the artwork later in the video.

**aracersss**

I truly believe nor maggoth lords nor glottkin will get in 40k

multi legged weaponized rotsnail. i can dig it.

Isn't that a different daemon prince in the OP pictures featuring the Plague Crawler? Or is that just a different build of the classic DP?

**Azreal13**

There's a heavily converted Nurgle Prince from the now designer's own personal army doing the rounds, probably that.

Snails having nothing ti do with disease or decay.

Garden snails are kind of a force of decay? They'll eat your flowers and stuff.

A lot of them are at least facultative decomposers. Well, yeah, so they're actually stop decay - but so do maggots.

Fine, then lets contents oursleves with Nurgle being the god who maintains a garden, a big slimy bug being thematically appropriate and the fact that snails like to eat the new growth whenever possible.

Yeesh, there's always one.

**Manchu**

Wasn't there a rumour engine pic ages ago that looks like a snail foot?

**MrVulcanator**

This is incredibly exciting. We're supposed to get the DG Codex soon™, so hopefully we won't have to wait to long.

**Milkshaker**

Ohhhh! please let the snail cavalry be in the death guard book! (I doubt it, but I hope so

)

DeadFingers on B&C

This snail looks cool, I can't wait for a better pic of the model

Regarding the crossover into 40k, these are ridden by plaguebearers and not Chaos Warriors, so it wouldn't be surprising if we see them in the next Daemon Codex. I will update the thread's op with DG and Nurgle daemon related info until we have the full picture.

Friend of mine at gencon is saying a unit of cavalry and a chariot.

Snails often live in and feed on decaying plant matter, daemonic snails existing in Nurgle's Garden totally makes sense.

**CURNOW**

Make more sense than plague toads

Oh didn't know GW were at Gencon?

Would they show anything there? Really hope it's not just these 2. Bring out the Pestigors and Unclean Ones.

Not for, like, two years.

Pestigors and GUO will probably be with the AoS battletome release, this one is just a campaign book.

Which materially alters my point how, exactly?

Appropriately reflects the absurdities of GW's universes and the illogical nature of Chaos imho.
