The thing about saying it's a better wargear layout on the new DG model is that GW basically admitted in a Warhammer+ developer interview that some form of equipment costs were coming back in 11th edition, and this model will have a lot more than eighteen months as a lifespan.

Unless they are bolters. In that case you get a lot of profiles. You got normal bolters, accurate bolters, slight bigger bolters, even bigger bolters, bolters that shoot fire, slightly bigger bolters with larger magazines that shoot more, evil double barrelled bolters, good double barrelled bolters, wrist mounted bolters, bolters on a stick.
I think there's a plague bolter, I lost count.

Theyve heavily standardized that as of late. Intercessors used to have access to three different varieties of bolt rifle, now theres only one. Heavy intercessors had access to 6 varieties between heavy bolt rifles and heavy bolters, now its just 2 (one of each).

A shame KT24 never got the memo, all the bolt rifle varieties are still available there

But that makes sense at the scale KT operates at.

Yeah, loads of bolter varieties are much more tolerable in a game that has ten models a side than seventy five.

The krieg box feels like it might suck for what is likely a £130ish price tag.

Yeah, I'm not terribly impressed with this box.

But what about the models inside the box?

They're clearly free, so its great value.
130 for thin cardboard is a bit much though. I'm not even sure a cat would enjoy it.

Oh, a cat would enjoy it - they just wouldn't be impressed by how expensive it was.

Someone built plague boi:

https://www.reddit.com/r/deathguard40k/s/1LhKBXZNZ5 if someone with more effort/skills than I wants to post the image then have a cookie.

Looks pretty nifty.

Looks neat. I expect that to be the only model DG get this codex though. EC will be eating up all the bandwidth for chaos release this round, and once the 4 god books are all released they can even out the releases for them and unmarked csm.

Kreig Box seems well designed to fit the role of an army intro box without being viable as an army builder box. Codex and named character are 1 per army things, then horses, artillery and engineers are sort of the 3 branches of the kreig forces with enough spread that it is not really useful to get multiples of this box unless you plan to do all 3 in one army.

Plague character from reddit post above.

Looks waaaaaaaaay better than I expected from the sprue

Even the helmets kinda cool

I get that they wanted to release a burst of the new kits at once but it doesn't exactly seem like a great amount of minis for a starter kit. Surely 5 riders and a squad of infantry would have made more sense?

Yeah but its all new kits so chances are 10 riders is more generically useful than two or three squads of engineers.

Honestly I think if you want to go all Krieg then putting down 10 mounted models is not going to be hard; esp when the leader in the set is also mounted so likely comes with some nice boon/benefit to having more mounted units in the army he goes in.
Even if nothing else than to have some fellows to join him on the charge into the fray!


With the book and named character its not a set to double up on which is sensible - with the codex in there and the new models its a set you want in as many hands as possible rather than getting scooped up by addicts - er I mean army builders.

Something must be going on at GW, as their website appears to have crashed. Again. At least I'm assuming that's what "Error 504 Gateway Timeout" means. All that time and effort spent on "refurbishing" their website and it seems to be somewhat unreliable.

Edit: Never mind, either it's back up or the problem was somehow on my end (other websites were working fine for me though).

Naw its been going up and down for me this evening too - random glitch rearing its head randomly or some spam attack that their host is battling causing it to flit on and off would be my guesses

I'm worried that this might lead to the end of the regular DG Chaos Lord being in the army, as well as all of the options for gear he had. The model doesn't look bad from what I can tell, but I'm not sure if it's all that necessary to the army. Also, Death Guard don't need more leaders, but rather more troops choices like a replacement for Possessed.

Gellar pox could partially fill that role for when the sprues leave Kill Team's classified list. Wouldn't be far off the accursed cultists.

I do believe that they should be in the codex, though I think that we should also have a Nurgle equivalent of Eightbound. I think that it would be also cool to have Plague Marines riding on Bloat Drones, maybe with an accompanying lord on Bloat Drone. I'm surprised such a lord doesn't exist; all of the other god-specific lords get to ride on a daemon. The palanquin lord is ok, but just doesn't feel like the equivalent of the others.

DG character looks alright - don't dislike it but I think I'll hold off until i see it painted to judge.

Pity it's not a leak from the most perfect of cult legions

The lack of EC leaks is crazy.

Mortarion and Magnus leaked

Angron too, I believe

But despite the accurate rumors, we still had to wait for Fulgrim to be unveiled

Try being a Knight player... all we know us that we are going to get a Codex... and an odd rumor of a knight that has an AWACS radar dome.

Maybe the missing Deredeo Atomantic Pavise is getting upscaled and put on a Knight? Take the ability away from Dominus and give it to a specific knight?

I think it's because people are expecting them to release soon when they maybe aren't. If DG were nearer release than EC it would make sense that their stock was being boxed and more likely to slip out into the wild.

People do seem to forget knights are 3rd in line this year.

Being real it looks like guard jan-feb, eldar March hopefully, knights April then we're into who really knows territory.

Prices for this week:
Krieg army set is the same price as the Blood Angels one

Well the big news there is the huge Rohan terrain bundle is available at retail this time!

The first silhouette in the LVO preview pick looks like it could be a new grotesque, but that doesn't really fit the release schedule, so maybe it's an EC unit with chem injectors?

It's Lucius the Eternal

3rd image - 100% gotta be Necron Scorpion Canoptek (I can dream!)

Do you mean 4th image? 3rd is on a square base and is definitely a Beastman for ToW.

Necromunda monster, most likely

It's 3rd on the smaller image on the all news page - but yeah different position if you open the article.

I think that one is almost certainly a Warcry/Underworlds Slyvaneth warband pet. Same as the Thanatar is for Heresy which is also not part of the LVO preview, the silhouetted forms are for later in 2025.

Im so gratful that the reading comprehension abilitity of the average dakkite is higher than that of the average redditor. My reddit feed is filled with folks who either cant read or didnt read and think that the Thanatar is being previewed at LVO and that its coming to 40k because there isnt a HH icon on the LVO preview slate. Pleasantly surprised to see you guys actually understood the message.
