"Sloppity Bilepiper" sounds like something a kindergartener would come up with.

I can dig the ridiculousness of the names to an extent, but you can bet I'll only ever be calling them Bilepiper and Scrivener respectively when speaking about them

Just like all those people who call the Dark Angel’s primarch “The Lion”, so that they can pretend he doesn’t have the most stupid name in 40k

The minis are fantastic so far though. The Piper (as I shall be calling him) is glorious and with a very different paint scheme, could look horrifically macabre. Almost makes me want to collect Death Guard.

That's almost as bad as calling ultramarine-coloured Marines "Ultramarines" or making an angry guy called "Angron".

Honestly, that's different. Those are simplistic, rather than ridiculous.
I'd be fine if it was just Bilepiper - it's the Sloppity I take issue with.

Or the fact that in whfb Archaon found one of his treasures from "the altar of ultimate darkness"

“Sloppity Bilepiper” is the best and most Nurgly name I’ve heard in a long while. It’s Roald Dahl-levels of pleasant pronunciation. Kudos GW

I’ll be calling him “Mr Sloppity”.

I'm okay with the aesthetic of Nurgles' new models if only because it adds some variance on the tabletop. There is plenty of edgy grimdarkness in Khorne's line. A bunch of grinning Cheshire cat daemons stands out in a pleasent manner.

If any line should have the "nefarious" look it should be Slaanesh units. Daemonettes should have a facial expression that says theres a 50-50 chance they'll either give you a handy or skin you alive depending on the day of the week.

But it is a joyous name - well suited to Jolly Old Grandfather.

Lord of Blights

Plus, we now have a name for the mounted Blightkings; Pusgoyle Blightlords

To be fair, did anyone expect creative names to begin with?
I think it's a given that there will be badly named hero's everywhere.

Loving the models though.
To me, this is much closer to how the older stuff was.

GW went through a phase of "everything grimdark" where all forms of creativity and character went right out the window.

Glad to see this stuff and for the first time in ages, I'll be ordering GW stuff again.

The figures look like they have a personality, which is what makes me go "oh my god, I want that!".

Funny this is I was just thinking how wonderfully grimdark this mini is

I love the new figures, but why do they look so clean? What's with all the nice pastel shades, I thought they were supposed to be, well...rotten, infested, manky?

You can show off a model better if you use a full range of luminosity than just darkness.

Daemonic Loci are powerful aura abilities gained by the Characters in your army.

Haha, just in time for this thread.....

Tzeentch locum could be nasty however.

This guy looks like he could be build from a standrard Blightking and some bits. Way less bling and overall busy look compsred to other new hero models. I will get him to copy that sexy shield.

Maybe he'll be a lesser character, sort of an low rank aspiring champion acting as a field lieutnant.

did a bit of a sloppy photoshop on one of the GUO's to try to show it in a more grungy style...of course I'm no photoshop pro, so I can only do so much, but hey

I like it

It looks like something from Darkest Dungeon. Pretty cool.

I think the GUO has a lot of potential, just need to creep it up hardcore with the paint.

IM so happy that Horticulous will be joining us!

I hope that tree comes to 40K. I love the look of what I have seen of it.

The new boxes, via Zamerion on DakkaDakka

Oh. Won't lie, bit disappointed by the lack of Pestigors.

Hoping the Glottkin makes it into 40k. Otherwise I'm going to have to make it a counts as plague hulk

aww man...why'd you have to go and say that?...now I'm painfully tempted to kitbash a glottkin and a set of defiler/soulgrinder legs...

Go with chaos Knight and enjoy a heavy helping of ranged and melee support.

Can anyone make out a 40k logo on that tree?
