Subject: Death Guard + Nurgle Daemons [Preorder Dec 16 - Blight-Hauler / Lord+Cohort]
according to White Dwarf, he's carrying an 'artefact of Nurgle' but doesn't mention if any additional rules come in the box but i'm assuming it does.
Check out my gallery here Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!

It could be a generic item that can represent any random artifact you chose to give him. Or just call it a fancy blight grenade. OR he's calling out the foe to a game of foot[fungus]ball.
So, are there really no extra rules for lord Fethius? I assumed his 'enthusiasm' over his wiffleball full-o-slime meant he was some sort of special dude. Either way, he's great, but I wish he came with a 50mm base like the DIloC.
I think is a copyright friendly way to introduce the model, like with the doc. For the wiffleball, I think is in the Nurgle's Gift rule. He waves it, and people get Space Ebola in form of Mortal Wounds.
Yea, I was hoping we would get some rules for a 3 man unit of Blight Lords.... Doesent seem to be the case. Plague Brethren are a wierd option.... I should have taken them for my 500 pt tourny that required at least 1 troops choice.
Aren't they kinda pointless (as a unit, I mean)? The only option that comes in my mind is in addition to 1-2 characters + a 5-men MSU unit in a 10 slot transport. But in that case, single melta is doing nothing.

Generic characters disappearing? Elite units of your army losing options and customizations? No longer finding that motivation to convert?

Dude over on war of sigmar said that there are indidly new nurgle models coming.
He said that past "leaks" were surprisingly accurate, but still missed quite a bit of stuff.
If communication on Disqus (WoS comments) is true we could see the new Daemon models sooner than later - like January/February. Maybe coinciding with the new Daemon Codex or shortly after. Fingers-crossed

Malign Portents is coming/starting in January too for AoS it seems, so we might see something there with the long-sought "Nurgle Rotbringers" book finally materializing for AoS

I wish it was easier to sort Disqus. I can never find rumors on that site. Can you be a bit more specific about what is being said there?

Sorry for my late response, Kendo
There was the occassioal post in the WoS rumor section mentioning a sighting of the book/photos etc in the last weeks. Unlike other cases there isn't much to quote/with specific information. I would like to refer you to these posts
There was also a Natfka rumor from someone who said he had seen the back of the new Deamon Codex. I did not pay much attention to this but later we could see the printed book in a cabinet at the 40k open day in a Necromunda related post on miniwars.eu. In the cabinet the back was hidden but maybe someone was indeed allowed a look at its cover and the photo or even inside. All these incidents lead me to the impression there is some substance to this and the new Nurgle Daemons aren't that far away. My current bet is end of January or sometime in February.

According to WD their release date is Dec 23rd, with preorder on the 16th. They are not marketed or mentioned elsewhere to be a limited release. Short answer: No

Well then.
...
Yup.
Beasts. Seeing as how it looks strongly of the codex art, I'd imagine all those new "nurgle" creatures in the artwork are being released, if the comments on war of sigmar are to be believed.
Happy day, RIP wallet.

They are going to back to how they use to look then...
"Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. " - V

yeah, looks like they're going with a happy medium between the typical nurglings/great unclean one style/visual cues, and the good old tentacle-headed slug-puppy beast of nurgle...I'm fine with this
...one thing's for sure, pretty much anything they could've come up with would be far better than the current tired old model ...I'd sooner glue a mouldy old sock to a 60mm base and use that instead...
Spoiler:
...it's good to be green!

It's hard to tell what is really going on with that model, but it looks cool. But I hope they do a proper reveal soon. I have a weakness for nurgle stuff...but i'm kind of done with the DG, if they have stuff in store that is beast/daemon/ or AoS themed i'd be into it.
That is a way better tease than the rumor engines though, a lot of those are vague and made moreso by the lack of color.
here's a (slightly) less potato-vision pic...you can see some details a little better...looks like it's got one eye, and a big happy mouth with a big slobbery tongue...like it's excitedly chasing something...which is pretty spot-on in my opinion ...really looking forward to the proper reveal so I can get a real good look at it
...it's good to be green!

Oi, that sharper pic looks very promising. The Blanche beasts looks cooler, though.
If we see those beasts, the weird multi-legged triceratops from that one piece of art and *especially* those floor-crawling things from other pieces of Death Guard artwork, oh my.

As I have mentioned previously, I was sent a snapchat with the pics.
Fun fact, the original CAD for the model was eventually used to make the Glotkin. All four gods had updated CAD sculpts, plus a new dragon that ended up being the mount for a certain chief protagonist.
You can choose to ignore this
I wouldn't ignore this... Given that I called the beast model, and when it comes end of Jan ahead of the rotbringer book in feb.
I'm not a rumour monger, but I do love a told you so
