S133arcanite Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Im guessing that the Pusgoyles will have 6 wounds each (eg Mournfang Cavalry) and be 'A unit of Pusgoyle Blightlords has any number of models' type unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would honestly guess 7-8. Seven being sacred and hardy har.. 8 simply adding the drones 5+blightkings 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S133arcanite Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Thats also possible, although 8 maybe overpowered, bearing in mind that the plague drones have plaguebearers riding them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greasygeek Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Yikes the price for beasts are insane. It’s increased 66%. I wonder if they have changed its profile or it’s size cause that is One high price for a model on a 40mm base that costs 60 pts and is best used in units of 3-4.

Sigwarus Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'm lucky to have some spare drones from the plaguedrones set and will combine them with some spare blight kings if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obaobaboss Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Well... that is my punishment for being impatient. I bought the whole blightwar box only for horticulus ^^. Ok, to be honest I am happy to add the stormcast-birdthingies to my bits-collection and I guess you can never have enough nurgle daemons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsharitt Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 So we're getting the two new plague bearer heroes, but it looks like the old Herald of Nurgle isn't available outside of the Start Collecting box(on the US GW site). He's not just hidden from view like current beasts are in the AoS section, but you can't even search for him. I wonder what the means for him.

My guess is they maintain his rules because he's part of the start collecting box, but otherwise ignore him in favor the two new models. I suspect he won't be available as a separate purchase going forward. And TBH he's a fairly useless model in terms of his rules, anyway. He's good as a locus for other daemons and that's about all.

I don't know, it might be something their doing to some of the older models. The Cairne Wraith for Nighthaunt is listed as no longer available on the US site and completely gone from some international stores only to be found in the Nighthaunt Tormented Spirits box.

tea_wild_owl Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 so I got the new white dwarf today. some nice info in there. the tree is a scenery model used to summon daemons. furthermore, nurgle units within 7" can run and charge, near enemy models can get mortal wounds, and "infection points" are generated. nurgle units in your or your enemies territory generate infection points, too. The Infection points can be used to summon nurgle daemon units or other trees. stronger daemons need more infection points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smucreo Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 So do you have to summon the tree or does it start somewhere on the board? It'll be interesting to see what this does for board control for Nurgle, I love this kind of mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tea_wild_owl Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 I hope it's similar to sylvaneth wyldwood (1 to begin with), but there is nothing about this in the wd. however, in the game report the tree is on the field from the beginning AND it is very near to the enemy territory. so maybe set it up like a scenery?

bsharitt Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 If the tree is going to do with summoning, I hope if fixes summoning better than "late deployment with high chance of failure" where the benefits don't really outweigh the downsides for matched play(but still pretty nice in open play where you can keeping bringing in waves of daemon hordes). I'd be okay of you had to set aside specific units(rather than a points pool) at the beginning of the game with the trade off being that the tree can spit them out automatically.

Summoning may not be perfect for Matched Play but GW makes rules and models for three types of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smucreo Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Still, they could make rules for summoning that worked one way for Open Play and another way for Matched Play. It kind of already is that way since you have to put points in reserve on Matched while on Open you just summon stuff. I feel something like making summoned units cost less points but making it harder to get them on the field (specially the big guys) could be a solution for Matched play. Of course that's just the thought that popped into my head right now and I'm sure there are far more elegant solutions, but the point is that something could be done.

smucreo Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I really really hope they overhauled beasts so you don't have to buy boxes and boxes of them just to get one single unit. Otherwise the new box containing a single beast will be terribly overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sal4m4nd3r Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 My roomy main problem with beats has been they are a bit random for my taste. Claws and tentacles are random attacks. Tongues are random damage. But pairing them with horticulous is very very tempting. It would be cool because they can take a charge, deal Mortals, fight, retreat, horty deals mortals than run and charge another unit or the same. Tactically diverse and deadly.
