Brother Ambroz Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 That sounds just right. In fact it'll probably be more than 50.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azekai Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I like the Nurgle drones- such conversion potential! The wings looks so pretty! I am sure the rules for daemons are going to be poor though, at least in comparison to what we have gotten used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Guard Dan Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I want to know where the greater daemon sculpts are at... unless I'm missing something. GDs will no longer be in the codex. The new GKs hunted them to extinction. Hahahahahahhahah. Well played. The photographers did a crummy job. I hope they will look better at different angles. My wallet is thankful for the lack of greater demons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lay Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Well, I like all of the new minis so far - especially the Skull Cannon. They really nailed John Blanche's stye with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'm Heckus Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 My thoughts: Slaanesh herald : D- ; Unimpressive sculpt. I'll keep using my four-armed-snake-lady piece (De'Chala?) Nurgle Flies: B ; about what i expected. coulda been cooler but will probably paint up nicely. Tz herald Chariot: C+/B- ; It'll do, just not with flair. Blood Throne: D+/C- ; Would've preferred that it were pulled by juggs or some impressive monster. Fluff be damned. Nurgle herald: B ; similiar enough to the squads for unified look but different enough to stand out. Does it's job well enough. Khorne herald: B : as above. Burning Chariot: D ; Ok, I don't hate the "idea", but this looks like a bad set piece from Finding Nemo on ice. Maybe with a different paint job... Skull Cannon: D+/C- ; What's with the tiny cannon? The CANNON is the focus of the model and it looks like one guy should be lugging it around. I'd almost rather just paint the Ogre Kingdoms ironblaster red than field this. I'm not even sure a skull could pass through the barrell of that cannon. Now, it may be that the rules on it suck so bad that they couldnt justify a bigger cannon (like ord1 S3 AP4 Soulfire Blast). That thing's a swivel gun not a cannon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nehekhare Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Are these the current rumours or just speculation on your part? mostly what Tasty@BoK extrapolated from current rules: http://bloodofkittens.com/blog/2013/02/17/rumor-it-releases-daemon-rules-front/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornywingythingy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 New rumour on faeit 212 this morning, phil kelly writing the demons dex and mat ward writing the fantasy armybook, not sure how I feel about that tbh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I thought Matt Ward wasn't allowed to write fantasy rules any more after the last time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nehekhare Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 phil kelly writing the demons dex and mat ward writing the fantasy armybook So Kelly nerfs daemons down into a bland "balanced" codex like CSM and Ward does the same in fantasy to atone for overpowering the last one, while Kelly is so disinterested in chaos fluff that he bases his writing on Ward's "creative" ideas? ugh, in for a treat... Then again, is there a designer left we would trust in this day and age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornywingythingy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 ^Jeremy vetok? Da wasn't appaling. Its been confirmed as kelly and ward, faeit 212 has posted pics of the wd entries for the dex and armybooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveNYC Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 The Nurgle flies look good, their riders OTOH just look tacked on. The whole model line is just kind of meh. The wheels on the Khorne mobiles look too small and I'm not sure what's up with everyone sticking their tongue out. It looks good on a few models, but an entire army like that would be goofy. I think I'd trust Kelly on DE or Eldar. I really thought that he would have done a better job on CSM, sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nehekhare Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 my bet is that lots of non-chaos players will judge it "balanced" and "fine" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nehekhare Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 it's getting better: http://natfka.blogspot.de/2013/02/daemon-princes-moving-to-hq-skull.html khorne cannon is 36" S8 AP4 daemons now have 20 different HQs! (DPx4, GDx4, heraldx4, 8 specials) more random charts! my bet: soul grinders down to AV12, cost 200pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azekai Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Making daemons have inbuilt weaknesses like instablity and then nerfing them by removing fearless and EW is a load of crap. GKs already get lots of specific daemon-killing abilities, and the daemons have some of their few inherent strengths removed compeletely? Geez. Remind me not to shell out 50-60 quid for the new dex when it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
