Joe Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 WarCom Article. This was announced way, way back when Warhammer+ was first revealed, so it's nice to see it getting shown off at last. sitnam and Loquille 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noserenda Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Love the concept... but the trailer looks pretty jank :( Hopefully the full version is better. Nice to have some WH+ content though!

andes Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Not sure if it's really the case, but it sure feels like we've seen a disproportionate amount of Nurgle in the various 40k media properties. Aarik and MegaVolt87 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to have some WH+ content though! I kind of hope it's a deliberately slow and stilted movement, like some kind of ethereal hyperrealism. Not exactly exciting, and I'm worried it will probably a poorer exploration of knights than found in various novels (e.g. Kingmaker, or Iron Kingdom, both of which do go into depth) - but I hope it gives us something special with it's chosen media and mediality.

It might just be recency bias, but it seems every Tale of Four Games for both 40k and AoS have a Nurgle player every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 Nurgle (and Death Guard, by extension) has a bit of a perennial popularity, particularly since the range updates between 2014-2017. They tend to make the perfect "grimdark" opponent in fiction as well. Pondering if this is a Boylan animation? It does share similarities to his work on Helsreach and Angels of Death.

Noserenda Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I was told a while back (Like... A decade?) that Nurgle was the most popular chaos god by some margin, i guess because his colours are fun and forgiving whilst having a high ceiling to do weathering and bizarre illness? (Pretty consistently good models too) Like there was the running joke that every skilled painter is eventually compelled to paint the original plague marine :D I suspect thats only been more pronounced sinces hes been getting better and broader model ranges in the years since? (If anyones interested it was Khorne second and then the other two i forget the order but a way behind) MithrilForge and Joe 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, anyone can draw a zombie, and everyone understands what to expect with zombies, and Nurgle has a LOT of zombies. Aarik 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ming the Merciless Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Not really impressed but the trailer has motivated me to finish my Chaos Knights (and tidy up my Imperials) for some mecha on mecha action in my gaming group.

andes Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Yeah, agreed on the 'why' of the Nurgle obsession... I'm just getting a bit burned out on Grandfather, no matter how generous his gifts.

I guess the difference is that when you watch a fan animation on Youtube you can accept that maybe the quality doesn't look as great because it's someone doing this in their free time and putting it out, often for free, for their love of the universe or because they like animating. When GW puts there stamp on it, charges for it, and says they're the ones who are creating it then you expect (or can expect) a little bit more. I'm not saying that the people who work on these don't deserve success or are not working hard, but when a multi-billion pound company puts out an animation it's fair to have higher expectations than some dude/dudette on their computer working on a side project. Even if that is still what is happening, it has a different connotation when it's coming from a corporation That being said, animation iffiness aside, it was cool and the shot of all of the Imperial Knights lined up was pretty nice.

Not just media, but the 40K and AoS game also. Nurgle is just pretty easy, thematically. Big and fat with disease. Probably fun for the sculptors also. Nurgle got the big release pre-AoS with the bloatflies, maggotkin, glottkin, and then all the DG stuff in 8th. Khorne came next, as while having a clear image, was probably difficult to make the army not just 5 kinds of berzerker. Slaanesh and Tzeentch are comparatively hard to convey a theme for in model form for...reasons, the least of which being how to depict 'change' in a static model, or Slaanesh's various excesses in a videogame. We haven't seen a significant Tzeentch release since 2016 or so, Slaanesh had the gorgeous AoS stuff done a couple of years ago, and we await 40k stuff. Nurgle and Khorne are seen more because they're just...easier. Boltgun and Space Marine 2 being the tzeentchy exception though.

Thankfully SM2 is Tyranids and 1KSons, neither of which are over represented and should be a fun change, as long as they can work out some of the issues. andes, MithrilForge and MegaVolt87 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghouse Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I think Dawn of War 3 trailer did it much better, I don't like how slow they move. The Nurgle thing could well be down to it being easy to understand and relate to over the other Chaos powers for laymen with little need for explanation, it's basically space zombies when it boils down to it.

Lexington Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I can see what's wrong with the animation to some degree, but overall, I don't hate it. If it was done well in general, it could be something to watch. ...unfortunately, "done well in general" is a bar that W+ animations have yet to clear, so not a ton of hope for it.

MegaVolt87 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) I feel like the rate of fire on the larger calibre gunpowder based weapons is too high? Looks fine on the smaller stubbers though. Edited February 22 by MegaVolt87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
