Here is a size comparison for Mortarion (I matched the bases.) There were also some better pics of the new minis in the sample. At first glance I am very impressed by the terminators.

By Brother Chaplain Kage - B&C forum

I would like to know which units are in the codex. Is there already a leak with the table of content?

Edit: found it on the page before this one

It is literally in the page before this one

I got confused in the preordering as apparently there's two collectors editions.
One that costs 65 euros and is basically the codex with different art on the front and a 150 euros one with some goodies.
I thought the goodies were in the 65 one, derp.. bit of a letdown.
65 seems hardly worth it for different cover art. 150 is too much for the goodies imho

So normal codex it is.

They have done a good job with the new Plague Marines too, the models are on par with the FW and 2nd Ed sculpts which have been my favourites so far. I will probably dial back the craziness of the Terminators a bit but having all these parts for conversions is nothing short of amazing

I can't wait to see the sprues

Still not sold on Typhus. Need more angles/a 360 pic of him before I make up my mind. The rest look stunning, I love the Marines and I love the Terminators

Tempted more for Death Guard but those dice I probably won't get.

I was happy to see a new Typhus until I saw the large baggy nurgling splayed across his torso...in a likely unremovable fashion. Shame as he's been one of the best looking Chaos minis in a long time (his old model at least). That's a real let down. However it does seem that you could easily convert one of the Deathshroud into a "new" Typhus as well. Just hate that they ruined the normal mini like that.

The cover art on the standard dex is atrocious imo - I had the hardest time stopping myself from buying the 65 euro one because that..

The old model has a Nurgling at that exact same place, too. As always with GWs Nurgle models the paint job is what ruins it most - probably.

You're absolutely right. Something I hadn't noticed - likely because the pose doesn't shout "HEY GUYS CHECK OUT MY SWEET NURGLING!" like the new one. Definitely still prefer this guy.



Man, the new guy - he's as big as Guilliman, isn't he?

I prefer the old one, too. Don't know why they changed his pose - it was very fitting. The new pose... I don't really know what he's doing "Hey guys, hoo hoo, it's me, Typhus, over here! Got my scythe with me!"

At the top of his scythe, maybe. Guilliman is around 4-5 inches tall on his base and everything.

Old pose is far superior I think, although the new model still has great details. I'm a little annoyed they changed it, but my annoyances are minor in the grand scheme of things. Still a nice model.

I like the new one its a bit of a "Chaaaarge!" pose. Unfortunately he only moves 4" :p

I'm not really a fan of the model either, but I see GREAT bitz potential in that one handed new scythe sculpt...So many possibilities.

I prefer the old one much more than the new one. I think he's too busy, too much going on plus that baby nurgle is just a no no.

So we have five different characters that use the elite slot, I think that may be more than any other army I know of. And our other terminators are blightlord terminators.

Also, we get blight haulers, whatever those are. Probably the melee drone variant?

Imperial guard spring to mind as having lots of elite chars. Platoon commander, commissar, Three advisors, priest, a couple of special characters etc. Massively increases drop number so the chapter approved rules are really important.

Regarding Typhus I can understand why people prefer one model over the other, but like Kharn I'm glad we have two different poses now. The new Typhus looks like he is conjuring flies and sends them over the battlefield (if that makes sense in english). I like it tbh. I will keep the old model and probably get the new one, too.

Sums up this entire Death Guard release.

Pretty much...

Not OOP in the UK yet

The new model needs a proper base scenery though, which is painted in a colour that creates a better contrast, like grey instead of green or brown

anyone else in America unable to see preorder stuff on the website right now?

It wasn't meant to be up there yesterday.

Preorders in the US are Saturdays; usually by 12:45pm with the header properly changing and "announcing" it by 1pm. Times are in Eastern btw.

Never tried to preorder before as my FLGS always get what I need in anyway. But This morning I woke up wanting to get the collectors edition codex. Didnt know they didnt go live till later in the afternoon.

People complaining about Nurglings brings shame to Grandfather Nurgle.
The more Nurglings the better!

If you're concerned about getting a copy, just start refreshing the "New and Exclusives" page around 11:35am your time.

It's important to go to that specific page as that is where the preorders will go live at.
