They are really stretching out these leaks, like a slow moving crawl to spoon feed us tiny tiny bites. Fiendish GW.

We need a hero who will fall on the sword for Papa Nurgle and leak the whole thing for true servants of the Warp.

True we do, some brave and hapless nurgling who just can't wait. Where are they ? The world quietly wonders..

Wonder how the other deadly pathogens are like. Yeah, the suspense! One small leak a day... lol ...

Im hoping for some way to heal Deamon engines, either a plague warpsmith, a strat or a powr for my casters. Every other deamon engine self heals each turn and every other legion has smiths.

Just been watching the news here in UK, it was talking about how many businesses are low on stock for manufacturing and for imported stock due to a perfect storm of CV-19, PPE backlogs at ports and Brexit.

It specifically said how imports from China were badly affected and it's affecting lots of industries as there are massive backlogs.

I think that goes a long way to explain the DG delay and stock levels in general

Well I'm hoping that character is a demon engine support type character, probably won't be with his weapon loadout but I hope he is.

I seem to remember them saying he was on a stream?

They did. The new character is confirmed to be a master of ordnance that is supposed to support daemon engines. With daemon engines most likely not being core and heralds of nurgle no longer having an effect on spitters, giving them their own support character actually fills a nice niche.

I assume his plaguespitter is weapon of choice as they forsee him babysitting PBCs and only using his weapon to defend his Daemon Engines.

Without knowing his rules it's hard to know though.

It wouldn't be the first DG character with a random weapon that just looks cool but makes no sense mechanically

I'll be disappointed if he doesn't have some form of 'plaguefist' with the way the stuff is dripping from it

It's not a plagefist, he just sneezed into his hand, nurglings stole his tissues.

Doesn’t he know to sneeze into his elbow? Sneeze/cough etiquette means nothing to Nurgle’s chosen!

At least he is wearing a mask.

But yeah, good catch, there are even pipes going to the fist. Plague fists would be an awesome addition to DG.

Question on this - what would actually be delayed from the DG release if stuff from China is held up? If the back of my SM 'dex is to be believed, it looks like the books are being printed in the UK now...

At least all my 9th edition books say designed in UK, printed in china on the back.

That's beyond my knowledge, I thought it was to do with these delays as rumour had been that it was caused by lost or delayed shipping containers. Or maybe the printing company are missing resources. Honestly I don't know so I'll stop guessing now

Could be they got the SM codex re-printed in the U.K., because of known delays.

A new 40k with no new Marine Codex would be like chips without salt.

I checked my Necron codex and that is also printed in Westdale, UK

Terrain piece for one. Terrain is generally done in China.

The Deathwatch supplement, for example, says it was designed in the UK & printed in China.

Same for the Imperial Armour Compendium. Seems gw is using multiple printers for their books.

It's very likely the terrain. All of the Age of Sigmar faction terrain is cast in China and I imagine they are doing the same with the 40k faction terrain.

So basically the DG launch was delayed because of the faction terrain is my guess.

Do the previews post at the same time every day? And if so, what time is that?

Usually between 5 and 6 PM CEST. The preview is a bit later than the other articles.

edit: Never mind, it dropped while I was posting this - at 4 PM CEST

Remorseless:



Disgustingly Resilient is being shown tomorrow, which confirms that it is being changed.

Solid meh.

Also says this:

All of the Core Death Guard Infantry units – namely Plague Marines, Death Guard Possessed, Blightlord Terminators, and Deathshroud Terminators – come with this handy ability.

edit again: Blight Haulers also confirmed as coming with the ability, and can still be taken in units of up to 3

I am so glad morale rules are so much more meaningful in 9th now compared to 8th

But there is a juicy piece of info at the bottom:

* Even Myphitic Blight-haulers will be Remorseless, making a tri-lobe unit of three models a safer option than before.

Confirming they can still be taken as a tri-lobe. 27 T7 wounds with 3+/5++ (or better) and Disgustingly Resilient? Yes please!
