GW News: LAS VEGAS OPEN 2025

[pendrake]

The next hero for Malign Portens

I like this fungus ^ encrusted gobbler. Not sure why.

Rumors are about undead pirates on ghost ships.
A clearly new and original idea that no one had before and that will be copyrighted by GW.

Hahaha... clearly original.

Now where have I seen them before?

What if the ghost ships are Ægyptian lookin' and their undead crews look kinda 14th dynasty TK?

Tomb Kings in spezzz on ghost ships (with Sphinx figureheads!!!) FTW.

That would be pretty cool. But why would they have scraped the Tomb Kings line then? Here's hoping.

I'd probably pick up a few pieces from my 8th edition TK army or for terrain purposes.

Papa Nurgle has a gift for you

 

[Captaniser]

This guy here is what i'm most exited about.

Little knightling.

 

[Aginor]

Does anyone know how large those are?

Here's a picture for scale.

I would guess it's 3/4 times as tall as a plague bearer and twice as wide as a bloat drone.

Oh ok quite large then!

 

[NIGHTBRINGER]

So only poor Slaanesh is left wanting.

 

[Ritual]

Praise be Papa Nurgle!

If GW hadn't already given us enough Nurgle rubbish with the Death Guard, this thing is sure to satisfy all the Nurgle players out there. At least GW are getting round to introducing new plastic Greater Daemons for all the gods, starting with the Bloodthirster that appeared during the end of fantasy, then the Lord of Change released at the beginning of this year, now the new Great Unclean One. I imagine the Keeper of Secrets for Slaaneshi fans will probably appear sometime at the end of next year if they keep going like this.

Dang that thing is huge. Though he is plastic (so glad the big models are plastic instead of metal now) how much is this thing going to cost? $50? $100?

Going by the bloodthirster and lord of change probably in the 110$ range

It's going to cost $140

 

[Captaniser]

Sloppity Bilepiper, Spoilpox Scrivener and Lord of Blights will cost $25.

Pusgoyle Blightlords will cost $65.

I assume these are all in USD?


Ouch!

yes, it is USD.

Yeah, GW aren't exactly known for their affordable prices, but this release is really a kick in the teeth. The greater deamons for the other gods only cost $115, why the price increase? The characters are okey priced, still more than i would pay. But the absolute worst thing is the Beast of Nurgle, $40 for one beast, that is terrible. The rules for it ain't that good either, it's not going to be a big game changer. Also, the current Beast of Nurgle model costs $24.
The Pusgoyles, you only get 2 in a box, and i think you could easily convert them from a unit of Plague Drones and the spare parts of a Bligtkings unit.

Wow, those prices are truly horrible. Unfortunately the simple fact is that as long as people are willing to pay it, GW will continue to raise its prices. These expensive kits also help justify their more discounted ones, which when removed from direct comparison with other GW price points are still very expensive.


I'm curious what the Warqueen will cost. That is the first new GW model that I've been interested in purchasing in quite some time.

Looks like the next book after Nurgle will be Death!

Lots of new goodies within the pages apparently
And the other thing I mentioned last night about 40k looks like it got revealed and it's meh... a bit of too much hype they created.

"Inside, you’ll find the warscrolls for every single Death model (so far…) alongside four new Allegiances within Death – the Grand Host of Nagash, Legion of Shadows, Legion of Sacrament and Legion of Blood. You’ll also find rules for the Soulblight vampires, if you’re looking to field one of Death’s most elite armies"
