It's the symbol of Nurgle, 3 circles in a triangle.

on the box you dongle ...something that would indicate that it can be used in 40k. it only appears to have the AoS logo on it, like the blightkings, flying blightkings, maggoth lords and glottkin...

Yeah, I kinda expected that already. A tree isn't very 40k-like after all. Still a pity. It looks really cool and I am definitely going to get it, would have been nice to use it in both 40k and AoS.
The logo does seem a bit odd though. It is not in the same place it is on the other boxes. On the other boxes the AoS logo is more to the right.

Oh, I wasn't really paying attention.

Hmm. Looks like no Pestigors either. I have a box of gors I bought discount that I wanted to convert into daemons. Here's hoping Daemonettes become usable for my counts as Male Daemonettes idea.

extremely sad the BoN is only one per kit ... at least it has a different paw option :/

yeah, was hoping for a box of 5 for $50-60. Single per box gonna be $25 or 30 which makes fielding a big unit cost prohibitive, which also means I might not need horticulus. Unfortunate misfire GW, please don't repeat it when you redo the fiend of slaneesh.
On another note, do the rules with lord felthius allow the 3 terminators to be fielded as a unit? Or do you still need the 5 minimum?

That wasn't ever going to happen (at least, not this century). Maybe 2 or 3 for a box at that price, but sadly GW still has a thing about pricing beefy models upwards, rather than according to their utility or points.

5 Dreadnought size beast in 1 box is a little too crazy It would as best be pack of 3 like Kurnoth Hunter.

GW have said before that Felthius and all the easy build have rules in the box for PL. points wise they are an understrength unit.

They aren't dreadnought sized, I doubt they have the total bulk of a juggernaught or plauge drone which also include riders

They look a fair big bigger than the old one. I’d say they easily have the bulk of a juggernaught or plague drone.

by the rumored price ... it might be 40$ per kit for them

Really want to see the rules for the tree.

I got my WD a few minutes ago, currently not at home but will upload photos/scans in 2-3 hours if no one is able to earlier. Necromunda, LotR and Warhammer Quest scenarios. AoS Nurgle vs Fyreslaer batrep. A getting started with Orks 40k article and a two page Orks advertisement showing nothing new. There is a huge 40k Ork army project back in the issue by Ian Gonzalez. There is a Tau buildings conversion guide.

WD confirms 40k rules for the tree in Codex: Chaos Daemons. More later.


Automatically Appended Next Post:

Prices posted yesterday are the same in UK WD.

Codex: Chaos Daemons also comes as a Collector's Edition for 65 EUR. There will be CD datacards.

Maggotkins get a datasheet pack. There is a painting guide in WD, and in the new army book.

That's just the 'Eavy Metal style. They try to show off the model's moulded details as crisply as possible.

Are people really still on this "they're making everything kid friendly" kick? WTF kind of childhood did you people have that this stuff would be considererd kid friendly in your house?

Did you not grow up playing video games, toy soldiers, D&D, etc.?

Not the ones that featured mass genocide, rotting corpses, or sex cults.

Oh, I don't know. Some childhood classics were pretty messed up, in retrospect.

Hansel and Gretel is about cannibalism
The Brave Little Toaster as a scene were a bunch of cars sing about how they are all washed up and useless as they are crushed into small cubes
Nausica has a genocidal goo monster
The Iron Giant has a genocidal murder machine
Then you have the likes of Courage the Cowardly dog, which you'd think is a more young person orientated cartoon, but it has some really disturbing imagery.
Then you have Pom Poko, a children's movie by Ghibli, is about Tanukis losing their natural habitats and dying en masse, and being forced to survive in the city where food is scarce.
Oh, there's also doctor who, which had daleks and Cybermen, who are also genocidal murder machines.

It is not as if 40k has ever been not kid-friendly. Nurgle models have always been limited in disgustingness, for good reasons. No sane person would look at or play with them otherwise, and that would cost GW a lot of sales.

GW doesn't really talk about sex cults, anymore. It was more explicit back in the 90s. I recall seeing nipples back then.
Rotting corpses aren't really that shocking, if you think about it. Kids dress up as zombies and skeletons for halloween, no?

What a boring childhood.

White Dwarf has many pages and the 'Eavy Metal style models are already showcased in the new releases section. It wouldn't hurt to show off a different approach to new models to catch people's interest who don't like the 'Eavy Metal style.

There's a reason Blanchitsu is popular. It shows you just how different the same models (and bits, because conversions) can look.

New WHQ scenario? My interest is piqued.

How old are you?

I was raised in a Jehovah's Witness household and I saw Aliens and Starship Troopers with my Dad when I was like 8.

I grew up on a farm, so I got to see lots of things other kids wouldn't.
