£35 for 3? Well that's a hell no

So, are lightning claws allowed on any of the DG terminators? What about combi plasma?

Also, why in the hell did tartauros Death Shroud Terminators suddenly turn into cataphractii? It's really throwing my whole collection out of whack.

Deathshroud in 30k can take either armour, it just so happens that the models have Tartaros.

They work out about £2 more expensive per model, with presumably much more in terms of options and the ability to buy from a retailer for a discount and/or not pay ridiculous shipping from FW. If you're okay with the price of the FW ones, it's not much of a stretch.

TBF I thought £35 was quite fair. I was expecting £40.

More importantly, for me at least, is the sweet, sweet, polystyrene. I hate working with resin and hate super glue even more.

The Deathshroud look great! But is that all the DG being released that week... really? I mean, if it was a dual kit, great, that's two units, but, it doesn't look to be.

Glad to see that admech codex out, I just don't want this to be such a slow... trickle... DG... release... schedule.

If this is meant to mimic the slow, ponderous nature of Nurgle's legions... very cute GW. But the entire Emperor's children release better happen in ONE WEEK!

All about that cover save. It would be nice if you could remove the missile launcher and multi-melta (that's a job for a 3+ BS hellbrute, instead!)

The blight-haulers are 3+ when there are three of them in a unit.

Yup, buy more models if you want the good stats!

Erm, I'd be pretty surprised if they didn't come with 3 in a box.

Really>? I would not be at all.

I am a not GW basher, but I doubt they would package a squadron together at a fair price, when they sell them as 1 for more profit.

It depends on how big they really are. Do we know if the Bloat Drone will be one per box? They seem pretty similar in size, but the Bloat Drone box will include a bunch of weapon and carapace options. Stank Tanks could be more like a Centurion box of three, since they have no weapon options. Maybe they will at least have some carapace options so they aren't all identical?

How are the Nurgle Drones (The giant flys) compared in size with the Bloat Drones? The daemonic flys come in a 3-pack

They take up a similar amount of space in a minis bag because of the fly wings, but they are definitely less plastic. There's a couple optional parts for the Nurgle Drones, but I would imagine one Bloat Drone sprue with all the options will be similar to the sprues for 3x Plague Drones (flies).

£35 is the same as the 1KSons Sorcerer 3 pack. I don't see why this is an issue (other than that being an insane price in the first place, but that's a given).

Based on the only picture we have, they look to be slightly bigger than a regular bike. I bet they come three to a box.

I think the price for Deathshrouds is fair. I mean, I doubt you're going to be fielding that many units of them. They're only 1-3 in a unit, they're slow and CC-focused. They're great for character meatshields, but at 75 ppm, how many of these are you planning on running?

Unit size 3-6 but your point still stands.

Also they're 75 points per model so I doubt fielding any more than 6 of them will be competitively viable, although I'd love to be wrong on that.

Really? The Miniwargaming review said they were 3 to a unit.

Edit: Listened again and you're right - you can include an additional 3. Still, I'd only include 3 I think.

If you are planning on paying £35 then you are doing it wrong..... Online discounter every time. P,entry of uk retailers do 25-20% off.

See attachment

Tell me again why Death Guard shouldn't have jump troops? My only Raptor so far is rocking a very similiar jump pack with two fans, too.

The Blight-hauler looks a bit like one of those prehistoric crabs, doesn't it? I'll have to see a 360 to decide if I like it though. The rules would work very well for a daemonified Salamander scout tank or a scratch built WW1 light tank, hmh. Playing BF1 males me way too eager to buy even more DG stuff.

Edit: Gak, this post was in transit a few hours it seems, it should have been posted right after the pic of Maxime's jump troopers

Over £10 for a single plastic infantry model is never 'fair'.

Again, just pick up some lords of contagion and convert it.

Like I will do. EHEHEHEE.

Especially since it looks like you only need, at most, 6 of them.

So - In the Codex apparently in the Daemon Prince profile it says there is an option for the Prince to take wings for 1 PL.

But there is no entry for Daemon Prince with Wings listed under the points section of the codex.

So, did GW forget to include the points? Is the wing upgrade free?

Or, did the Prince lose the ability to bring wings and they forgot to take it out of the profile?

I imagine we'll see an Errata get posted VERY fast just like the other codexes (day or two). But I'm pretty worried they'll just come out and say Prince doesn't get to take wings.

These get 3+ BS. You need 3, but the other abilities it has seem worth it.

4+ BS.

Tri-lobe: Add 1 to all hit rolls made for this unit whilst it contains 3 models.

The Blight Hauler has an effective BS3+ if you have 3 models, which is what he was refering to.

You get +1 to hit if you take 3 which is what O'Shovah's Desciple was referring you.

Spoiler:

Right, but he was referring to the Tri-Lobe rule.

Guys, holy crap, maybe read the latest post before posting?
Because I'm pretty sure he was talking about the Tri-lobe rule.
