SaJeel Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The model is virtually identical to the concept art, just painted unfinished. I'm suspecting it February with a 40k model release before it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now people can actually buy a copy! Anyway, the book takes place in the Age of Myth, not long after Nagash got his face pushed in by Archaon, the first time. Just thought I'd mention that. I'd say it's an essential read for any Death players out there. Really sets up the key characters and the attitude of Nagash 10 hours ago, bsharitt said: Nice to see that Horty is in the 40k Daemons book, which means he'll probably be getting a standalone release outside of Blightwar soon.

The original rumor was : some people saw the back of the 40k Codex daemons ; there was a new Great Unclean One, Horticulous Slimux, and some "fat Plaguebearers". There is all the other rumors and educated guesses regarding Pestigors, etc. So, having seen this Beast of Nurgle, yeah, I think one can say that Horty will be in the 40k Codex.

Xelotath Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Do we think Beasts of Nurgle will get an updated Warscroll? Maybe the GUO will be a dual kit with Kugath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AthlorianStoners Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 If it was primarily an AOS release I'd have said Bollathrax for the dual kit, but Ku'Gath would be cool. A ladle and cauldron would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ladle and cauldron would be nice. Well Bollathrax is named in the fluff, but is just a regular GUO in his description. On the Other Hand, like Skarbrand and Kairos, Ku'gath has different features that the regular GUO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean every Herald of *insert chaos god* would be "named"? The ScE guy was actually named. beyond that they haven't explained much though.

Ive only seen GW refer to them as heros, its only on Spikeybits they say 4 heralds.

I still dont think the December SCE is one though, as he was not released with any link to Malign Portents like the other two were.

It's just that other people who were also present didn't hear that We'll see. I really like her model anyway ! The December SCE, reading his White Dwarf description, is just another Lord-Celestant. Not mention of Malign Portents whatsoever. Good point about the "Herald" part. It could just be new, non specific heroes. But... What's the point then ? --> Can you confirm that the point of the 4 Heroes was to be usable "For free" if your opponent is also using his Herald ? (Dark Shadow style ?) I believe they talked about that at the B&G seminar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they talked about that at the B&G seminar. Yeah there was something but it was the usual not 'wouldnt it be good to use them like this' sort of speak, so I dont really remember. There were lots of questions about Malign Portents and the new direction and when would we see other GA heros and they said next year (so in my mind that confirms this is a 'herald' and hopefully not the case my memory has got it wrong).

Patience is rewarded though – we hadn’t forgotten about you. Alongside this Herald of Nagash, each of the other three Grand Alliances will also be getting a powerful new hero. (my emphasis) so we know the Herald of Nagash is called the Knight of Shrouds. We don't know of the other "powerful heroes" are Heralds. Spikey Bits making assumptions? Probably.

On the other hand, I don't see the Darkoath Warqueen sufficiently "charismatic" to be 1. the whole Chaos pantheon herald 2. Archaon herald. And even if only Death get a "herald", then what's the point of the Warqueen for other Chaos armies ? I mean, when I can get a Chaos Lord, an Ogroid Thaumaturge, another Exalted Deathbringer, etc., I don't really need her... So uh, can January come sooner this year please ?

SaJeel Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) All speculation**** So i'd imagine that the Malign Portents is goingto have a major release for each faction indicated by the heroes, For death it will be Night Haunt with the Herlad of Shroud paving the way for them along with a sweet black coach, Chaos will get full DarkOath release, after Nurgle in Feb of course. Order I'm not sure, it might be Aleves, but i could see them pushing them out as the conclusion to the Event, before them, i could see us getting some updates to Freeguild with a new freeguild hero as per the rumor engine, Destruction i have no clue Edited December 7, 2017 by SaJeel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have everything already just missing a book, and maybe AoS'ifying bits and bobs. An unique playstyle, options for battleline, elites, couple of heroes...
