wayniac Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Totally stoked for this release. Although, Sloppity Bilepiper has to be the silliest name I've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps another kit, maybe characters (or pestigors :x) ... The "Lord of Blight" in the Battletome article may be the Nurgle Harbinger repurposed, but it could be a new model too ! I think its just going to be the one currently called the Harbinger of Decay, seeing as he has a fair few severed heads. https://www.games-workshop.com/en-IE/Harbinger-Of-Decay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I don't think so. The figure on the cover is also at the front of the blightkings in the animation. It's very specific for a figure to be identical in two different pieces of art without model representation. The death guard got a ton of single characters.

HorticulusTGA Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 We'll see tomorrow - but as other have said, I really hope that the Lord of Blights is a NOT a recycled warscroll, but this guy : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Yeah, hes totally a new guy, didnt spot the gallow on his back with the heads, f..* thats cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still-young Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I still think it’s the mounted guy. He’s in the picture that they were talking about when they mentioned him and he’s surrounded by Blightkings who he gives the ranged attack to, and he has lots of heads on the model. I’d be happy to be wrong and get a new model though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, Curseling. New unit from a renamed resin model. There’s precedent, and he’s the focal point in the photo where they’re discussing the new guy, and it mentions his clutch of severed heads which the model has. Why would they not just show us the new model? They’re hardly being shy about reveals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, no ; between Grand Alliance : Chaos and Battletome : Disciples of Tzeentch, the Curseling warscroll stayed the same. (It was only renamed between the Warriors of Chaos compendium and Grand Alliance : Chaos). In GA:C ; the old mounted Lord of Nurgle is already (re)named Harbinger of Decay, so he shouldn't be renamed in the Battletome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost looks like the tree is placed in conjunction to the arcway. It makes me wonder if the tree is a marker for infected terrain. I might be far of but I like the idea. Yeah I did. At first I was sure that the tree would be some kind of scenery piece but after seing it next to the archway it appears to be way to small for that. However as a summoning beacon it might work. Though that means only daemons get to use it which leaves the Blightkings slow and legt behind as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheriff Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Probably some sort of summonable scenery that gets cast like a balewind? I look forward to moonclan summoning a giant mushroom patch of doom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayniac Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I am currently torn between doing this, or doing Kharadron Overlords. It's a tough choice. But there's a couple people who are doing Nurgle it seems, and none who have KO, and I feel variety is important for a gaming community so... I need to see more of the Nurgle rules.

I like my Kharadon Overlords and I really like then but I'm also looking forward to doing some Nurgle. I suspect that Nurgle will end up being the stronger army between the two due to more options and just being a newer book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it will be stronger but what Chaos remains to have as a massive advantage in Age of Sigmar is that there is tons of choice. Nurgle actually has the most followers when we check for Nurgle Keywords on Warscrolls Not only do you have acces to Slaves to Darkness and this book like 'regular BoK and DoT' but Clan Pestilens is there as an option also which really opens the doors to tons and tons of conversion options too. E.g. the bell shown in the art, I am 99% certain we will not see a Nurgle bell in 2018 but it's so easy to just use Plagueclaw or Plague Furnace to create one for yourself. Same with the rumoured Pestigors. If you want something like that it's very easy to start converting and use the Plague Monks Warscroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't get real Pesitgors, I may just do up some Bestigors all Nurgly and run them as allies. I saw a guy combines some kind of beastmen with poxwalker bits(most for the tentacles and extrahorns) to make Pestigors for Blood bowl, so I'll probably do something similar.

Greasygeek Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Whats next on your Nurgle conversion list if they do not get new models? my is: 1. Epidimius. 2. Marauders built using pox walkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty sure the Lord of Blight is the former Plague Lord. That hero is totally useless as it is but has a fine looking model. So by changing his profile into a unit booster he might see some action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guo bell seems to specify nurgle allegiance for its movement buff, so +3inch movement for blightkings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayniac Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 The bell GUO now seems like the best approach (full rules still pending ofc) if it will give a bonus to movement. That will be VERY hard to pass up I think. I'm already thinking of something like... the GUO, 30 Plaguebearers with the Scrivener guy (scroll guy, not the Sloppy Piper) if he buffs them, couple units of blightkings, and then add extras to taste based on what the new rules are.
