There is a preview of the new white dwarf on the community site. No pics but confirmation that Mortarion,at least, will be in it.

Yep, I was a bit sad nothing seemed to talk about DG. I want to be hyped GW, make me be hyped! I can only pour over the same old pictures looking for details I missed so many times.

Does Nurgle daemons and Death Guards in the indexes share Nurgle keyword or something like that?

Saw some info about GWs painter spending 35 days on Morty, wonder if its the same model/paintwork as in the army picture.

They all share the nurgle keyword, though how much that will matter is unknown but probably not a ton.

I only buy the minis I love. For DG it should be probably all the poxwalkers, 3 of the 10 released marines, the general with Axe and terminator armor, Morty, the bell guy and the new tank. I am waiting to see the 360 view of the new stuff, but the terminators seem too boxy for my taste. I prefer AoS bloated knights. And the head of Typhus doesn't work for me. Maybe with an alternative one ?... I wish the Typhus mini will convey better his age, psycher mind and uber space general fluff...

Another supposed leak on FB. This guy claims to have a source who was right about releases in the past, but also wrong about some things.

Supposedly this will be how the new units will be packaged.

To be honest, it already sounds highly suspicious because I doubt the Tallyman will be packaged with Terminators. They have different armor.

Take this with a giant fistful of salt.

It seems that the rumour suggests that the Tallyman works sort of like an Ammo Runt I think, where it's a model to represent a buff to the unit maybe? Interesting if it's true

That'd be odd and given how it's been discussed that the unit will struggle out of deepstrike it sounds a bit wishlisty to me.

Also, I hope that isn't actually our PM box. 10 models but only one of each weapon? Why would I even bother buying the box if I'm going to have to convert half my models anyways? 5 models and one weapon or 10 models and 2 and I'd invest some money, but that's just an absurd waste of money if they can't be bothered to give us proper equipment. There is a reason no one uses actual havoc models.

Better start figuring out how to convert a flail that looks decent. With all the censers on everything it shouldn't be hard.

Yeah that's very true, so maybe it's not gunna happen. The only thing that soooort of makes it fit is that it was a Terminator telling the Tallyman to do stuff.

And yeah, that's quite troubling... I really hope that not legit. 2 of each weapon in the kit please GW

I believe that. Think my Skitarii kits were like that.

Me and my blue stuff are ready to make crappy copies of weapons. Lucky us, the nurgle weapons don´t have to look pretty.

True, but it worked for skitarii as we didn't have any single item you needed two of per unit. If you bought 3 boxes you had enough to field 3 complete units of 10, one of rangers with 3 of the big rifles, two of vanguard one with plasma one with arc rifles. Or add a fourth to get sets of 5 with two weapons each and a unit running without special weapons. Etc.

But with this, we have firstly the issue of no scaling past the initial 5 members, so running them at 10 is pointless. Plus, many of those options (flails) you'll want on most of your units. At least I do. And vanguard were actually good without upgrades as well, unlike our plague boys.

So yeah, what was an expensive but useful investment to get the units I needed there turns into a giant sinkhole of money here. I'd need two 10 man squads to properly equip a 5 man unit, not properly equip two or three 5 man units. Three boxes would... Still only result in a single properly equipped 5 man unit, not three properly equipped 10 man units.

So yeah, conversions all the way. There is a point where even my laziness is outweighed by my desire to not waste money.

If you aren't already, try grabbing some Magic Sculp/Apoxie Sculpt(fine grade Milliput will do in a pinch) and making your casting putty a 60:40 or even 70:30 mix Apoxie:Green stuff. The additional "softness" of the mix in the initial stage of cure after mixing picks up detail from the mould much better than pure GS.

Yep looks like it. Good lord they are stretching this out. So preorder 9th at the earliest, and don't expect any new information this week.

Tacticals Marines suffer the same fate. You need a Devastator Box for any heavy weapon that isn't a ML.

What an utterly pathetic let down, they could very easily have shoved both that effortless anniversary model and those combat squads into last week's release

I'm waiting for the one who is badass enough to take both the pointing arms of the Intercessor and Hellblasters sergeants and do a 'party hard sergeant' conversion!

I doubt that they are gonna just put those kits for preorder next weekend. I think some DG are gonna be too, but they aren't previewen them until later on the week.

I would think they'd show the DG though.

They have been in the habit of previewing preorders on the prior Sunday as retailers usually get their info on the Monday. I am pretty sure we will not see Death guard this week.

The preorders next week are the Sergeants and the Combat Squads.

Well Nurgle is the God of despair I suppose......

oh come onnn!...do we really need 10-man AND 5-man boxes of those gits?...why didn't they just release the 5-man kits and call it a day...bloody space marines -__-

Really feeling the pain of the DG fans lately, they've been teasing you guys harder and longer than anything i've seen in recent memory.

they really have! If I wasn't so bloody annoyed by it, I'd almost be impressed by the trollery of it all

I like Primaris releases but come on!

Jeez, they are already releasing cut up boxes of the double Sprue Primaris kits. That is just shameful. Move on, GW! I doubt they will be any bit of a deal compared to the regular double Sprue boxes.

When was the Death Guard release first announced?
Feels like its been years.

well, the official death guard trailer video was released on the 23rd of March, so, just over 5 months ago...but there were plenty of rumours prior to that, and I'm sure I first saw the tiny leaked pics of mortarion around this time last year...

(edit) - well, I say that, but the earliest I can find of that leaked mortarion pic is from the 27th of January, so...7 months...hmm...their pics of mortarion get leaked, and then they make us wait a full *7* months before releasing it...is this actually a deliberate ironic trolling punishment for us, 7 being the number of nurgle an all? /dons tinfoil hat
