Ah. Has it been confirmed no fists, chainfists, LCs or power mauls then?
You think with all the people who have the book they could just simply say if our Death Guard Terminators are all invalid now.

Wow. I bought three of the things 'cause I thought they'd be in squadrons. That is so dumb...
Uhh... one step forward, two steps back. Every fething time GW...

you could try converting excess bloat drones into blight crawlers? they look pretty close...
although, 3 single bloat drones could be nice little throwaway harassers?
...but yeah, gotta admit, I figured they'd be able to be taken in squads too, it does seem a bit odd...especially now that we've seen the blightcrawlers, and how they can be taken in squads...ehh I dunno...

I don't think Counts-As is going to be that bad. For the most part you can count all melee weapons as the same, but I don't know what range options they have yet.

I can't decide what colour scheme to pick for my Death Guard... if to go for a green pattern like the colours GW picked for its previews, or maybe something like this:
What do you think is best:
This sort of slightly more pallid green?
This sort of white sickly armour?
Or a bit of a mix of both, and go overboard with the corrosion, the rust and a darker scheme?
I like somewhere between examples 2 and 3...if I had to pick one though, number 2 is probably my favourite, I'm a sucker for original death guard colours
Maybe they're stringing out our release like this to sell more Dark Imperium boxes? Even today Warhammer Community released another advertisement that "Dark Imperium would be a great way to start a Death Guard army!" You know what else would be a great way? Release all the new models and let us buy an army!

Obviously it would be nice to have all the releases announced for planning and budgeting purposes, but I don't mind the releases being spread out from a logistics perspective. I'm hoping to keep up with the releases paint wise so that my army will grow at about the pace of releases. If they dropped like ten new boxes next Saturday, I can't buy, build, or paint them that fast so I'd still end up purchasing them on about the schedule we're assuming they will be released. Again, it'd be nice to know all of the actual boxes and prices.
I'm really wondering what is going to happen with the rumoured Nurgle Daemons.
We have all ready seen art for new Beasts and those new armoured Daemons that may have the name Maggoths?
And of course the new Great Unclean One.
But what will this release be tied to?
GW always seems to tie a release to a new book or event.

They also need to make sure people have enough money to buy the new models, and not everyone can buy new models immediately after spending a lot of money for Mortarion

This is a rather strange breaking point lol. Why not just clip it off?
Its the mouth as well breaking up the model I just said tongue to highlight the model I dont like. I cant justify spending 25 bucks on a model I know I wont like probably have to see about getting a body from a bits seller if I do end up getting the kit.
People who stopped buying GW but wont stop bitching about it are the vegans of warhammer

It's more drawn out than other releases have been even when they've had a big expensive model as part of it.

Cut the tongue off and fill in the mouth with greenstuff.
Virules wrote: Does anyone know what Baleswords for Blightlord Terminators do, as opposed to normal Plagueswords?
Pretty sure they have the stats of a power sword but with the Plague Weapon rule
Isn't that what a Plaguesword is?
Plague sword is a normal close combat weapon but can re-roll all wound rolls
Yup, you're right. Looks like Baleswords will be the way to go in my opinion, especially if you stack the +wound stratagem or psychic power, or the psychic power for +1 str.

I agree the white is amazing, but I'm a big fan of the ApatheticFish on youtube and his tutorials. I'm going with #1 -- the Deathguard Green spray is so easy to use, and I want to get them painted quickly. His tutorials really took my Age of Sigmar to a higher level.
Have fun regardless.
