foamy248 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 So, Warhammer community has revealed the new starter box, which is Primaris vs DG, as expected: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/05/23/warhammer-40000-launch-date-announced-may22gw-homepage-post-1/ Aaaaand, the models themselves: Thoughts?

henrywalker Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Oh wow, they are so cool!! i'm going to be gunning for a minimum of 3 of the deathwatch sets and probably more knowing me. That sorcerer is just gorgeous and the plastic blight drone!!! (forge world:hey you guys can't call it a blight drone, we already have a thing called a blight drone. GW: oh... bloat drone? forge world: like, a fresh bloat drone? GW: no, a foetid one.)

Plaguecaster Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'm actually not a fan of the sorcerer never been a fan of non helmeted marines he needs a helm. I just hope sorcerers still fight like marines and not hit like Gretchen as the AOS versions. Damn I'll probably grab a couple or more boxes just for the conversion bits as I can already picture the bits being used on other miniatures :D I'm just glad GW gave us 7 plague marines though it makes you wonder will any of this death guard stuff get multi part kits down the track as I'd hate it if they were like the chosen or cultists from dark vengeance :( Edit : Still hope of multi part plague marine kit as there is quite a few plague marines from the original reveal a few months ago who were not shown as part of the set mainly this guy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333849-new-death-guard-revealed/#findComment-4750983 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChazSexington Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I think they're all amazing, but I don't play Nurgle (or SMs). I may pick up some Poxwalkers purely for the labcoat guy! He's amazing!

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Also, if you've not seen in the 8th ed topic. Forge World just made a post on there 8th ed update https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/05/23/forge-world-and-the-new-warhammer-40000/ Further down in the 8th ed post today, you can find the Chaos faction book, along with object marker, maelstrom cards, etc.. I honesty didn't notice them due to looking that the Nurgle Marines models. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/05/23/warhammer-40000-launch-date-announced-may22gw-homepage-post-1/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333849-new-death-guard-revealed/#findComment-4751049 Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Foes Remain Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 They look great, the Primaris assault squad I'm not sure on maybe there will be different options?

Lords of Preyspire Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 What do people think of the size comparison between primus and plague marines? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333849-new-death-guard-revealed/#findComment-4751088 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearly_Unfinished Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Man these guys look great. When this set comes out this is so going to be an instant buy for me. All these models just look so characterful and evil, Especially all those unsettling grins from the Poxwalkers. I just cannot wait to see what conversions can be done with them. Speaking of the models, Anyone else notice that the Plague Marine on the front left of the image bears a striking resemblance to the converted plague marines of online hobbyist "Morback"?

HeritorA Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 AoS in W40K. Too much fantasy like models instead of W40K. Horrible retcon/ reboot whatever they call it - in general: it was all made for young schoolboys Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333849-new-death-guard-revealed/#findComment-4751119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeritorA Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 'That sorcerer is just gorgeous and the plastic blight drone!!!' - depends on age for sure.

Sternenfaust Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'm totally buying this. The sorcerer's head is silly though, but I guess nothing a bit of green stuff can't fix. I also don't like the plague marine's head on the very left. Those horns look strange, but apart from that. Amazing.

Plaguecaster Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I think a simple head swap by carving off the ugly fuggers head replacing it with the cowed blight king head will make the sorcerer far better looking.

Absolutely! The drone however is amazing, same goes for the Termi lord and the bell dude. The bell is so over the top, it's killer.

Vesper Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I like them a lot. Personal favorite, aside from the sexy lord, is the plasma gun guy with the chainmail cloak. Might grab them on ebay further down the line. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333849-new-death-guard-revealed/#findComment-4751217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julgolax Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'm actually rather dismayed! O_O Obviously they're snap-together because they're posed so generically but I was expecting a much larger force and more dynamic posing. That lord is awesome, the plague marines themselves are passable, but the sorcerer and the... Apostle?... aren't very imposing. That sorcerer's baby face, that apostle's apron... why???

Lord Marshal Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 The Sorcerer reminds me of a worse version of the Forge World model, right down to the swollen foot that's burst through the armour. I hate when they add 'magic' to psyker/wizard models like that though. It always looks stupid, no matter how well they paint the effect... it's just too solid and thick to look anything but part of a toy. Well, that and the horrendous baby face. The rest of the line looks great though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333849-new-death-guard-revealed/#findComment-4751286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadFingers Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 OH MY BABIES! YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL! Except for the sorcerer, you're getting the knife, bud. BUT! Before any of you start converting, keep this in mind. You're getting more bits, multi-part kits ARE coming! These guys are NOT in the starter, meaning they're part of independent kits. http://www.lavozdehorus.com/wp-content/uploads/marine-de-plaga.png http://www.lavozdehorus.com/wp-content/uploads/marine-de-plaga-3.png http://www.lavozdehorus.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_3389.jpg THE NURGLE PARTY DOESN'T STOP!

Xin Ceithan Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Down with the Witch's Head! Aside from that, the Nurgle guys are just great. Love the Adrian Smith look on the Lord! Also glad that I didn't order another Blight Drone ahead of the release - might have to green stuff one to mine now. Guess that means I will be finishing those DG lost in the Warp.

Marshal Loss Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I am very happy with this. My only wish: please may there be a new Typhus when the rest of the range is released!

Pearson73 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 A mixed bag in my opinion, really digging the drone and a couple of the Plague marines (mainly the rear two) but I just feel the rest are all too busy. Liking the others that we've seen in the previous previews but not in the starter set much more however.

I'd be surprised if we didn't see him tbh. I could see them following a sort of routine where they put out a Daemon Primarch alongside of one of their 'Normie' SC's (Ahiriman, Typhus, Lucius, I guess Khârn received a new model recently?)

Sception Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 They look fine to me, but im not much for nurgle, so im not sure if i'll be picking up this box set. Depends on how easy it is to include some nurgle stuff in a larger undivided csm army, and how much you lose by doing so. I had considered getting some rubricks back when they were released, but the rules really only encouraged their use within a dedicated 1ksons army.... I'm somewhat annoyed that the forgeworld rules seem to be in their standard obnoxiously oversized and overpriced hardcover books, instead of the game table and wallet friendly softcover indeces that gw's doing. Even if i end up wanting to get it, I'm not going to have funds left to buy the starter after spending upwards of us$100 on the rules for just my dreadclaw alone. >:| Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333849-new-death-guard-revealed/#findComment-4751526 Share on other sites More sharing options...
