I thought the Nurgling on Fly was from Mortarion?

Those were flying Nurglings, unfortunately.

Warhammer TV seem to be indicating it's not from the Beast kit, but I'd imagine a mounted Herald is likely on it's way soon too

On the opposite, all of what Warhammer TV was doing suggested it is from a Beast kit.

Comments like "He's missing his Beast of Nurgle!" were replied to with "No, he's not..." or variations thereof.

The problem is that we've seen the Beast of Nurgle, and even though it's next to impossible to see details, it's clear enough that there really isn't much room on the base for anything else, let alone something the size of the Nurgling in the Tip of the Day video.

Unless the new Beast kit creates more than one miniature, and what we've seen is just one assembly, I don't believe that's the source of the Nurgling. The fact he's riding a fly and takes up that much space definitely suggests that he belongs to something raised up from the base, hence the Herald on a Plague Drone, or something as of yet unmentioned

hmm...I was just wondering if that nurgling might come with a new great unclean one - because the GW one could really use an update, like the lord of change and the bloodthirster got...

...but I'm not sure, because they've got the nurgling glued to what looks like a 60mm base, which wouldn't be nearly big enough for a new great unclean one...

...so yeah, I'm gonna have to put my money down on some kinda new herald or something too

I'm aware we've seen the Beast of Nurgle.

I'm also aware that the Beast of Nurgle is on a fairly good sized base and the Nurgling was pretty far foward of the base while the Beast was centered.


For reference, this is the Beast of Nurgle.
The Nurgling on Fly could pretty readily fit on that base since he's built low to the ground.

It still strikes me as odd that they'd create a kit with a basing extra that then blocks a fair amount of view to a largely landlocked miniature. And why the fly? Why not a slug-like Nurgling akin to the one in the Easy to Build Tainted Cohort box? The fly neither complements the main miniature itself, nor does it appear on the base of the miniature in the preview.

I'm just really not buying that the two previews we've seen so far are directly related. We know there's more than one kit on the way, which is what the Warhammer TV comment backs up, and their interactions with other comments regarding the Beast are just acknowledgements that said unit is in the pipeline. Why tease the same kit when the Disciples of Tzeentch release pattern indicates that there will be so much more?

You know that Blight Drones are Beasts of Nurgle that "become bitter" from nobody playing with them, yeah?
It'd be a great little fluff nod to do.

If you look at the video for the Nurgling on the Fly, he's taking up less space than you seem to be thinking.

I can tell you right now that the comments they've picked/liked were those that more or less suggested this was a part of the Beast of Nurgle kit.

No to me that implies he’s missing something else, not a beast of Nurgle.

Yeah, the "No, he's not", for me at least, means he is not part of the Beast of Nurgle but from other kit.

I'm not going to go through and pull every single comment that was replied to.

Basically, they all jibed to this kind of thing where the implication was that No--he's not missing his Beast of Nurgle because like the Gyrinx last year, this is being put forward as a preview.

It's totally possible that there is something else coming that this is a part of but I can't think of any Nurgle heroes or anything that would have such a thing. Not when they're on a 60mm base(which the Beast of Nurgle was in the MWG photo).

Seems our little friend is from a Blightking on a Rot Fly

So, confirmed thus far, we have
- the Blight Tree
- two Plaguebearer-type characters (one of them likely a Herald?)
- a mounted Blightking unit
- the new Great Unclean One (crikey, he looked good)
- and of course the Beasts of Nurgle

So new plaguebearers, beasts, blight kings on Rot Flies, possibly a new terrain kit and a new Great Unclean One.

hnnng...those new beasts...and the great unclean one...and the plaguebearer characters...and the tree thingy...ohh man...

jeeze...at this point I'm actually wishing they'd do a few big long releases for armies I'm not interested in, just to give my wallet a rest!

Nice models

Looks like a lot of these will be used for AoS? Was kinda expecting more focus on 40k with the upcoming CD release but I'll get some of those beasts if the rules will be good.

NVM, gotta watch the whole video I guess.

Watch to the very end....

It’s a new Great Unclean One.

All non-special character nurgle demons are both and most of the stuff 40k players don't recognize has been out for a long time, though plenty of AoS specific releases to help kick off malign portents which is nice.

Here they are:

Not to forget:

Does anyone believe one day GW will release a box with the 4 major demons at a discount?

More cash flowing out of my account

I could see getting a Great Unclean One for some scenario purposes - looks pretty good (don't care for the direction most of the Nurgle stuff is going at the moment).

Messiah, thanks for the screenshots

There is a new GUO.

Pics or didn't happen.

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

Thanks

No problem

I believe I said heavy cav as well...

Still on nurgle? Truly he has blessed this year with his putrid grin because the nurgle wave and teaser just don’t end. If I was already fed up with how long it’s taking to get out now I’m just accepting it will never end.

I’m not dissing the mini’s or their fans. Heck I love the tree. It’s simple how long they teased it out is too much. It’s the sombra effect all over again where the teasing was so long it pulls some of the fun out from under the rug.

They’ve hardly teased these, this is the first time we’ve seen them. They teased DG ages before it was released but that’s all out now.

"The Nurgle wave" that just got teased today is Rotbringers for Age of Sigmar.

Which we've had no teasers on beyond rumormongers saying they're coming.

I don't think you understand what "the Sombra Efffect" was...they set up a massive campaign requiring players to do things and having time/date gated items that we couldn't control. And when those criteria were met...nothing happened.

Right but rumor folks were chattering about nurgle way earlier I. The year like near the beginning basically. That’s why it feels like it hasn’t endedall year. Then little teases here and there small releases ugh given me one big release wave.

Edit
Let’s be honest it’s probably still not over either with a codex on the way and who knows what else.

Rumour people chattering about stuff has nothing to do with Games Workshop. This stuff hasn’t been teased at all. And yeah, there’s codex chaos daemons, and presumably an AoS Nurgle battletome.

Ai, brace yourself for 2018, because there are rumours that Khorne 40K (World Eaters) will get the same treatment as Deathguard / Nurgle and who knows maybe again some AoS Khorne too. ;-)

That’s good. Hopefully they release it quickly and all at once. Even if they teased out a Tau release I would be just as annoyed at how long it’s taking.
