Wow! That was a great video! So fun, and some great sneak peeks!
I’m loving the new GUO, I can’t wait to see what his alt kit builds are.im hoping at least one is Kugath (sp?) the GUO special character on the giant palanquin from the old demon codex, similar to how fate weaver was the alt for the LoC kit. But I’d also be fine with the GUO set being like the blood thirster kit, with 3 alt versions with different abilities. Then make kugath a separate kit, like skarbrand.

I didn’t realize those were special plaguebearers, I wonder if they’ll all be one kit, or separate models.

I thought the blight tree looked like it had legs, I’m guessing it’s some kind of monster (it has a giant mouth & 3 eyes)?

Can anyone tell if the beast kits are different builds? There’s 6 of them there.

And blightkings on drones, that’s pretty amazing!

Very much looking forward to these releases! Gotta pay off all my Christmas debt first though!

Great work GW!

Nice to see they picked the 2nd ed Great Unclean One pose for the new one.

Aside from that, yawn, more Nurgle.

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

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


Nah, that would require them to release a Slaanesh model in the first place. You don't seriously believe that's going to happen?

They've got 3 out of 4 in plastic now..... signs would point to the opposite.

T'was a joke. Of course GW will release Slaanesh models eventually.

They'll just wait until I've died of old age first.

Spoiler:





Well, actually...those aren't really "teasers". Teasers are part of an interlinked marketing campaign to build up hype and interest by gradually releasing more information about an item.

The Rumor Engine is just like what Corvus Belli does with their "Sniper Shots" for Infinity. It's a random shot of a random part with no context or follow-up. Would you have suspected that these came from Nurgle items? Nothing from the Rumor Engines showcasing those suggested they were related to Nurgle releases or anything of that nature.
It was just a picture of a feather and a hive.

I was here for the discussion of all rumor pics and nurgle was the most common guess for the tree teaser. Iirc only one person gusssed the feather was nurgle related though.

2 of the Plaguebearers are special. I’m guessing hero models.

Beasts have different head/hair and belly options but the poses are the same.

Beautiful. I love all the new models but again with the questionable paint schemes? The Great Unclean One looks amazing, can't wait to see what his other weapon and head options are. The Blight-king cavalry looks good and comes as no surprise since the other three goods already had mortal riding daemonic mounts. Also fly riding nurglings. The new beasts look aces, and seem to have allot of variation as well. Those two Plague Bearer characters are excellent. One looks like a Tallyman; perhaps a replacement for Epidermis? The other look like some sort of musician playing a rotten Haggis/Bagpipe thing? Wow Nurgle got allot more than expected. Hopefully, these won't be the only Daemons released with the book. But I'm sure it'll take GW at least a month to release just the Nurgle models. Slaanesh, someday....someday.

yeah I've got one of those "lesser unclean ones" too...meh, could probably work as a daemon prince of nurgle?...or, actually, he'd probably fit in pretty well with those new beasts...but ultimately, he's still an official GW great unclean one model, so you should technically still be able to use him as such - he'll just look a bit runty from now on

Humming Great Unclean One of Nurgle






Im wondering if the beasts are easy build, given the similar posing. At the same time multiple options suggests a full kit. Them and the GUO will obviously be in 40k too, the other stuff is more a maybe. The cavalry are the only thing thats apparent as being AoS-only.

I like the idea of tähe Nurgle tree. Sorta like Cassius and Wormwood from Hordes. I wanted to build the duo for my AoS Nurglers, maybe there'll actually rules that kinda works like them.

I hope the Triceratops things and the floor crawlers from the codex artwork show up, too. The GUO looks like a worse version of the FW one from this perspective...I hope he will be more flexible in posing/have a better head/a scythe.

Looking for a Skaven Doomwheel banner to repair my Nurgle knights.

Just sized up all my Daemon prince models with the GUO, and he is the shortest of the bunch, I think with some Plague drone wings it might make a good Daemon Prince. Maybe build a pananquin and make a Kuugath? Hes just a monsterous Nurgling after all!

Yeah the nurgle tree is great. I want to,get it for terrain and do,some converting on it. Weirdly enough of all the nurgle models it’s the one I,like the most because of how weird it looks compared to the usual nurgle style. Corrupted nurgle tree faction when?

I wonder if the tree thing will have some cool rules e.g. you can buy it like a fortification or there is a rule before the game that they spring up owing to some pre battle infection

Why Aye Ya Canny Dakkanaughts!

Do what are we predicting as the size of the new GUO Vs the FW one? Could we see the FW GUO getting an update if the new GW one is the same size?

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.

Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

Hmm. Looks like one of those Plague Bearers is a herald. He has some kind of distended mouth that wraps around his shoulder, ending in a "speaker." The other one is playing bagpipes and appears to be a jester.

I'd be extremely surprised if usable for 40k. We didn't see Blightkings in Death Guard after all.

Who knows, perhaps they change it with the upcoming daemon codex. I would appreciate it. But the new Beasts models and the GUO should be definitely in the new codex.

I mean this more in regards to how the Blightkings are Mortal followers in Age of Sigmar rather than daemonic ones. It'd be like seeing the Hellstriders(Marauders dedicated to Slaanesh riding Slaanesh Fiends) in the Chaos Daemons book or Skullcrushers of Khorne(Mortal Knights riding Juggernauts) in there.

I'm going to hedge my bets on us seeing Pestigors possibly or a Poxwalker kit for AoS+40k both.

I’m surprised we’re seeing what looks like alternate plaguebearer musician and standard bearer / herald instead of a plastic Epidemius.
