It doesn't get much cooler than that. Well thats an additional £30 minus the correct weapons. Size is roughly the same. I again dont really get why some are upset by the GW price. Its a ton better too just with the additional wounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just say the flail was actually groping intestines, which I personally like more anyway. Don't get me wrong, I'll probably pick up the GUO anyway because Rotigus looks terrific. But whenever I just want a standard GUO, the FW will remain my pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I actually like the new GW GUO over the FW model though. Yeah, it's big and gross and definitely improvement over the old GUO, but the new GW one just seems to fit with the current Nurgle aesthetic best in my opinion.

I think maybe there's one in the WD. There's a battle depicted in there that includes both models. Edit: Yep, just checked. I don't want to post a leaked image, but the entire issue is floating around online if you want to dig it up (*cough* check Atia's site *cough*).

Specially since I own one and very much like the eguo model and warscroll. As a matter of fact I found it to be one of the strongest models when building a nurgle army. But somehow I think will be really hard to fit a eguo and a guo into a functionel 2000pt army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But somehow I think will be really hard to fit a eguo and a guo into a functionel 2000pt army. This is my situation exactly. To be honest, I like the new GUO and the EGUO equally. I dont prefer one over the other. And when the new GUO was previewed.. I was underwhelmed by the model itself because it looks just like the EGUO with slightly different features of disgusting. Even the exact same exposed intestines. I have 2 Old GUO That I will be using until I am ok dropping 140-150 on the new sculpt but will focus my inital purchases on the dope ass feculant gnarlmaw, pusgoyls and the heralds. Obviously the book to.. so thats a lot to work one while my regular GUO's (the now old sculpts I guess) stand in for the new sculpts. Plus.. unlike most people on here.. I REALLY dont mind the older sculpts. sure its smaller and less ornate.. but I kind of like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Well use which you love. I personally prefer this one as Ive always felt the GUO and BT bros should wield weapons in both hands. This was my only gripe with FWs sculpt and a continued gripe with some of the very recent AoS Khorne FW models. As always pick what you like, toss a coin or convert. Will show double axed BT soon in the relevant topic. Go what you deem the coolest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I will get the new one also building it between Rotigus parts and normal guo parts. However I had this crazy idea ever since I started working on my garden scenery that if not good for anything else, my eguo would make a mean looking center piece in a creepy garden of nurgle fountain.

AGPO Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I was always a little disappointed by the exalted greater Daemon war scrolls compared to the treatment they got in 40k. In 40k they feel like unique characters and very different to the regular options. In AoS they're just the old scrolls with a couple of stat boosts. All that said I'm really looking forward to seeing how the new it stands next to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveBusse Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Unit size for the Blightlords confirmed as 2 on the stream just now. The Lord of Affliction sounds like a pretty good general option (makes blightlords battleline!) - 8 wounds, disgustingly resilient (5+), regens 1 wound in the hero phase and (not sure on specifics) can give a re-roll hit rolls of 1 buff to nearby (7") rotbringer units. Command ability adds 8" to the move of a unit of blightlords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniJunkie Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Something I'm wondering - the rules appear to lean into the blight wheel thing you get in the Blightwar box set. Does that mean you need to get that wheel to play Maggotkin, meaning possibly need to buy the Blightwar set (which isn't cheap and potentially includes a lot of SE models one might not want)?

Elmir Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The battletome has the "wheel sequence" in there. The wheel itself is just a gaming prop and not strictly needed to play maggotkin. Don't know if you have a twitch subscription, but the book has a lot more wheel manipulation now, through spells/command traits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really happy that GW is willing to go this routes. There is nothing more frustrating as a guy thaking miniature games way too seriously. One reason why I feel this way is because it's an hobby to enjoy yourself with. Nurgle is both terrifying and jovial, that is the point of Nurgle. Likewise Khorne is both crazy and hateful, nothing screams this as a guy swinging a burning anvil on a chain to his opponents. The more GW allows itself to freely create with as much fun as possible the better the results get. I had some hopes for the Nurgle release. It easily could have been the most terrifying, feral and serious looking army. The one that gives you chills just by looking at it. Sure, not everybody has to want that. Same as not everybody has to like comedy, cartoon and clowning. I always thought that nurglings is the thing that ruins Nurgle's army feeling for me. Blightkings and Glottkin - if the whole army looked like that it would have been a masterpiece. Those "funny" new minis aren't for me. A friend of mine who runs Slaves to Darkness was waiting for these minis as he wanted to expand his forces by joining a certain chaos god. He didn't like horticulus. He won't like new releases but as he tells me - rules before design. If warscrolls disappoint him we both will be playing Blades of Khorne as for the Chaos side.
