No hauler coming up for preorder?

The resin copied hauler is already available from Puppets I believe. Cheaper too. Go nuts.

That's the Crawler. The Hauler is the little Fart Tank with the missile launcher and melta. I'm still worried that's going to be a single model box for like $50 and make a squadron of 3 not at all reasonable.

Would be a shame really, as the Metal Slug is just screaming to be used in squadrons of three.

It is most likely going to be $50.00. I hope they don’t release it in boxes of three unless they have the option to buy one individually. I don’t want to get stuck with buying more than I need and using 3 of them is next to useless in the game. Once a single model of them is destroyed you lose the hit bonus. Not to mention you can’t spread out cover save bonus on the table.

I wonder when we can actually purchase the haulers? We haven’t seen or heard much of them even in the codex. Is this going to be even released in the near future or is this a second wave item? It may be something similar to the Primarius Rhino that still has not been release.

I realise I may be incredibly late to the party on this but how big/small are the Death Guard marines compared to a 'normal' marine/CSM and compared to the Primaris marines? They certainly look bigger than standard marines.

Also, has anyone seen any alternative schemes for these? I really want to get some and try doing them in white, a la the original pre-Heresy scheme and like the Lords of Decay from the Vraks book. However I haven't seen any in colours other than green and my photoshop skills are non-existant so I can't mock one up in white either.

This is a Warhammer World exclusive model.

The Plague Marines are just a tad shorter than the Primaris Marines, but in many cases they are more bulky. So they are definitely much larger overall than any pre-Primaris marines. As for alternate paint schemes, plenty of people are doing Heresy Era white paint jobs. Both the DI pamphlets and the Codex have a lot of alternate color schemes for different Vectoriums:

Did you even try to google, at the very least?

Codex is full of alternative colour schemes, as is Warhammer TV (and YouTube more broadly, obviously), with painting guides on how to do them.

Spoiler:

Yep, and it dates back to 7th edition.

According to Natfka no

Could it be they are late on the hauler production/distribution ? The lack of photos and variants make me think it could be a late/last minutes add on to the codex...

There could also be other DG products which have not been teased yet.

They’d probably be in the codex.

Call me cynical, but they could be waiting for everyone to buy nd convert drones first

I wish they would just get it over with , though my wallet is enjoying the respite..

Lol. GW conditioned people far too well.

I remember when people had to wait 5+ years between a Codex with a new entry and some teasing artwork (say, 2009 Dark Eldar Voidraven Bomber) and the model's release.

A few weeks or months shouldn't kill anyone's Death Guard project. Have you truly already painted everything up and complete they released thus far (as far as you bought it)?

True, but I meant something like First Strike or a DG Painting Guide. There hasn't been a White Dwarf batrep with Death Guard either, and with the Hauler not yet available for preorder there could be a small release not so far away. A box like Death Masque / Blight War would be too early I guess. Will we see the Hauler around the time Nurgle Daemons get released?

Not nearly as nice as the real model. I guess if you are on a very tight budget i could see getting it. However, I would rather save for the real one that is much better looking.

Yeah, the $20 dollar difference doesnt mean much to me when you place the models side by side - plus most people get some kind of discount on the GW version, so theres that as well.

I personally really like the Bitspudio one, but I do think the GW one is better. I planned on getting two Mortars anyway, so I bought both. Now they'll both have distinctive looks, and be easy to tell apart. My 'good guy' marines can all have their identical vehicles/armor, but I like my chaos stuff to look really different. You can accomplish that with just using other bits in a kit, or doing different conversions/ paint jobs, but I like that it looks like the two tanks were produced differently from one another, but still holding to a specific design. Sort of like having two types of cars from different manufacturers.

I'm hoping plenty of 3rd party companies make their own plague haulers (aka Nurgle Nuggit Racers (aaka Fart Karts)). As I'd love all of mine ( and I plan to get a few) to look very different from one another.

May just be me, but I'm really not a fan of this model. Also price wise, it's on par with the GW version to have it delivered so I may as well stick to the official model.

Sorry, why is using 3 useless? Am I missing something here?

I don't have a lot of experience with the rules sadly so if you could explain that'd be great, thank you.

I hope the Hauler set get a lot of build options. If one of the Death Guard model needs smoke, it's him...

You got a bonus to shoot if you have three of them. But this investment can be nullify first turn with few laser shots...

i think this is all we have about it atm


The Beast of Nurgle is also missing a new model, one that matches the art in Codex: DG. There has been a rumor engine pic which looks similiar to the artwork so it should be an upcoming release as well.

on the 21st there is nothing announced

Maybe eldar codex + hauler + some nurgle surprise?

Seems likely, Zamerion. Or later and thereby closer to the November WD release.

Or they're saving it (and possibly an alt. Lord of Contagion with the other weapon option in the Codex) for a Christmas bundle-box / Start-Collecting-box.

Also ... when are those Blood Bowl Elves coming?
