Kronos Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Very cool. Looks like a great kit. Atia says theres more to come,and also some specific things for AoS. This is all very exciting, Im still holding hope for Kugath, if not these are plenty to convert into. And to think these are plastic, what a time to be alive.

Ryan Taylor Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Not surprising at all since we do not know when this will be released and some may prefer it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So between a week and three of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lead off with books and the GUO, then trickle out the beasts, plaguebearers, tree, and dronekings(and pestigors please)? Probably be seeing a stand alone horticulus slimex too. Apparently he's in the 40k Codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turragor Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I think my army project for 2018 is decided (40k and AoS in one too - I've always wanted to do that with a demon army). Ofc I've plenty to paint for a while and no rush yet. I will wait and see the news to come early in the new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killax Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Yeah makes sence, seperate release of that could thake a while though. Luckily it has its own kit so GW can do that quickly but I wouldnt be suprised if it will be much later. Because of Blightwars exclusives basically Cant wait to see more Nurgle brothers join the field though. Makes me happy as a Khorne player! Lets talk sizes too! My guess is that big papa is filling that 100mm or 130mm round base. GUOs weapon options look awesome. Id go sword and dagger, even if that isnt an option The Beasts are taller but I think they still are on the same base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMaguire1991 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Maggotkin is a bit of a mouthful I think Children of Nurgle would have been better seeing as he is the most familial of the 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, although kin also indicates family. Think it’s the Boxing Day scotch talking now, but I have The Maggot Family being sung over the Adams family theme tune in my head.

I just imagined a chorus of nurglings snapping their fingers as a baritone-voiced GUO does the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greasygeek Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 So I guess this might be finally decided when we read the tome but my guess is that most 2000pt armies will contain only one guo or exalted guo. And like I predicted the new guo model is way cooler and maybe even larger than the FW eguo that I already own. So what to do? The eguo used to be one of my favourite models but now it make more sense to use one of the new guos as an exalted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a wonderful problem to have!! Also.. have to find a use for my two current guo and my Original (the "e.t." Looking one) guo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, I mocked up the GUO on a 130 base, compared to Glottkin, and the 100mm base used by the primarchs and LOC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it's almost definitely on a 130. Especially because the scaling in your image seems off. I'd love to see your mock-up done with a 30 percent increase in size, which is likely more accurate.. Edit: Upscaled GUO 30 percent and added picture.

Yep, in the pic with the Glottkin, the GUO is sized on a 130mm base. I think your scale up is likely in relation to Magnust/Mortarion/LOC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it how you want really I did expect it to be called Nurgle Rotbringers but X-kin is cool too. Thing with the maggotkin to me is that it sounds tiny, like a maggot. Plus maggots dont bring rot etc. Ah well its just a name 7 hours ago, Greasygeek said: So I guess this might be finally decided when we read the tome but my guess is that most 2000pt armies will contain only one guo or exalted guo.

Use both though cool to mix up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splitbristle Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Very, VERY happy about all of this, have had to put up with my regular gaming buddies getting all the books and shiny new toys so it's nice to have something confirmed! Was supposed to be starting a new army in 2018 but that's not going to be happening now... Just wondering if the Blightkings on Drones will be benefitting from the disgustingly resiliant save now?

Still-young Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I assume all the greater daemons will be on the same size base, so all on the 100mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killax Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 My thake on the size-up: Some comparisons here to verify, Primarch's with new Chaos Space Marines: Great Unclean One with Plaguebearers and other Nurgle followers: Great Unlean One (GW 2018) vs Great Unclean One (Forgeworld) Glottkin (unfinished) vs Great Unclean One (Forgeworld) So yeah, I think he's slightly smaller as the FW GUO, who also comes on a 130mm base and I think he will be on a 130mm due to the sheer THICC size of the GUO. Makes the most sence to me to do it this way. The Bloodthirster is also an example with a strange base as Skarbrand and a regular BT don't have the same base size.

Oh, I didn’t realise the BT was on an oval. All bets are off then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
