Some not yet seen pieces on this guy's termies

Plus close ups of the new Typhus. Awesome model

I'm going for standard deathguard green,

but swapping out the brass for a bright green (this one is old GW snot green), mixing it with white to do the highlights to give it a sickly look


unfinished bloat drone (sorry the photo is rubbish but it does show what i mean)

Direct picture links:

New stuff:

1) Middle bloat drone is from the MPP kit. Check out the new carapace. This means the kit comes with at least 3 different varieties of carapace.



2) Death Shroud Termies:



3) Regular Termies. Note the glorious selection of heads/swords


4) Finally Typhus: Good appreciation for destroyer hive. Hopefully it's a separate piece so it can be painted well.

I love the "fly" terminator, the second one from the right. With his tiny insect hands and belly.

Damn those Terminators are impressive.

From BOLS

I won't lie, the putrifer seems rather pointless, since there's already a character that buffs blight grenades and has better uses outside of that. I can see him being useful with the bombardment stratagem but they could have given him that as an ability and he'd feel more worthwhile taking on his own

Has anyone seen a review detailing the Blightlord Terminator loadouts? If so, could you point me to that review?

6th edition of Warhammer Fantasy was pretty famous for is GRIMDARK EVERYTHING!

Bretonnia transform from the idealistic medieval france version of 5th edition with noble knights and ladys and peasants that with honour and valor become knights and nobles, to a medieval hellhole where the nobles had a 90% tax in the peasants and everyone was poor and die all the time. The same happened to Wood Elves.

So... back to the Bretonnia of 3rd Edition WHFB, then?

Str 4 damage 2 grenades on an entire unit is crazy powerful. The synergies stack like crazy and really increase the appeal of fewer large units. Working on a unit of 20 plague marines supported by two units of pox as the core. Characters and Mortarian to taste.

Those regular termies are actually quite disturbing, I don't think I'd want to touch that 'fly' looking one. Disgusting!

There's been very little in the DG releases that has made me go "yeah, that's a nice model I might buy that", but these Termies... Mmm, mm, mm, those look tasty!

I really like the deathshroud terminators but I cant justify the purchase unless we can get a body without the tongue sticking out.

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.

If you're talking about this, there are at least two torso options for the champion, so you need not worry.

Snip. Miss post.

Can't wait for the blight lord terminators. I'm really sad though that they can all take combi plasma, but only 1 in 5 can take a blight launcher. It would be so awesome to have a full blight launcher terminator squad (and they seem to be on-par with plasma, power wise)

Ah well, plasma spam it is I guess

I'm also unsure about my colours. I like dirty desaturated airbrush white. I like slimy deep green with brown and green streaks like cracked surfaces (e.g. the Marines in the batt rep with the Platoon zombie and Abbaddon with Cadia in the Claw on the cover). I like a warmer "white" brought up from Snakebite Leather over Vomit Brown with just a touch of white on the extreme highlights (I think googling Warhammer Deathshrouds gives you pics of a great army done like this, but with heavy black weathering instead of edge highlights). I like cleaner bright greens to go with yellow-ish skin.

My few painted Pox Walkers are done with loaded brush blendings and white spot higlights but matte skin (thanks, Scale75...) so they could go with either way. Mixing too gritty stuff with too clean stuff looks off without even more time than I already waste on unit members. Urgh. Can't decide. Halp.


Looking at the plastic Deathshroud I can't help but think that I'll have to cut up my new super expensive guys to give them breastplates that go OVER their belly armour. That look is cool on a couple of dudes, but overall I want Termis worh bloated bellies amd swollen chests, like that one Nurgle Termi pictured in 3.5 codex art.

Is that typhus model new?

I'm wondering if they can take Heavy Blight Launchers...

Well if they can take a heavy blight launcher instead of regular blight launchers, i'd complain a lot less that thing looks cool

Yep. It's not out yet though.

Oh o.k wow! I was really expecting a real over the top mish mash of robes and extraneous details that kinda confused the eye but they actually look good! really nice models that I could certainly paint up!

The Fly Termie is the clear winner with all this new stuff. <3

Pumped about the Deathshrouds, new Blight Drones, and Typhus, too, though.

I'm going to have to repose Typhus, though. I can't say I care much for the victorious, energetic Typhus. He needs to be much more hunched over, and depressed, and seething--less static than the old model, but lower that scythe, man ... put it down. Might be fun to re-model him into that classic 'squishing the IG he just decapitated' pose from his codex art, too.

Picked the codex up last night, really impressed, lovely artwork.

The thing i noticed most is this army will be about minor buffs with a major cumulative effect. Its going to take a lot of reading of the special rules and playing to really get a handle on all of the overlapping buffs.

Model-wise; Typhus, deathshrouds, terminators and the 2 new vehicles are on our list, im dissapointed witht he step away from the truly grim plague aesthetic but i cant deny that the tenticles and horn growths look amazing. People will gripe about the lack of multfit options but the way i see it- if lack of multifit is the compromise for these truly unique little details like tentacles and chainmail/rags hanging down etc then its a small price to pay.

One more thing i noticed, the beasts of nurgle unit page had a picture that was most definitely not the current beast model, definitely a new model on the cards for that and it will look amazing.

And the terminators only have access to the standard blight launcher among a LONG list of other options. Also, anybody who stocked up on the Dark imperium blight drones i think will be disappointing, the other 2 weapon options are brutal in comparison.

sorry to waffle, just relaying what i can remember

Any pics of the rumoured beast?

Hoping the deathshroud aren't too monopose as 2 boxes will look to similar on the battlefield...

Im at work at the moment, if i remember ill post a pic up tonight when i get home.

For the terminators, there's that many weapon options i cant see there not being a huge amount of variation in the kit. Same for the plague marines, the cleaver thing is brutal- Sx2 ap-3 d6 damage

A pic of termis or the new beast of nurgle model ?

I'm sure Process means the artwork we have seen already

Could you please post photos of both Terminator units' rules and the points tables at the back of the book and host them on imgur.com? We still have some questions unanswered regarding their equipment

I'm more disappointed that they don't come in squadrons, but the other new light vehicle does.

I read on a german forum we may see three Nurgle releases.

DG now, then a wave of new Nurgle Daemon models in between, and a third release with AoS Nurgle 'Mortals' later. The latter could coincide with Thebiggesthat's info we may see an AoS Nurgle battletome among more models like a heavy cavalry AoS unit in Feb 2018.

This sounds like there will be a lot of new stuff released for Nurgle in the next 5-6 months...

Blightlords terminators are armed with combis and balesword/ bubonic axes, for every 5 one can replace combi with heavy shoot weapon ( blight launcher, autocannon, plague spewer) For every 5 you can replace for flail of corruption.

If you roll 6 to wound on melee, increase the Ap +1.

Base cost is 38, with combi plasma + axe are 58 each.
