Wow! That is so awesomely stupid, it's actually reaching regions of stupidity that are way beyond awesome. Maybe even ...wait here it comes...legendary!

That thing is incredible. Could be right out of a Moorcock novel. The snail-king of Slurpina-va-Niak!

And a cool female stormcast assassin with a badass haircut and decent face sculpt...

I like it.

I may grab one of those too, as I need a female Stormcast for this little idea that I have had and that would save me time converting one.

You could also wait till October for Shadespire to launch and get the Angharad Brightshield miniature. since it's a smaller boxed game and GW are targeting the x-wing market it may prove cheaper.

Thanks for the tip off, as I had not even heard of that one.
Not too bothered which, so long as it is fairly cheap.
As both of them will be in a boxed set I will just wait until one of the 'set-splitters' gives a decent price on ebay.
Nice to know that there will be options.

Not as daft as the Space Wolf flying chariot thing...

Love the figure, the anchor thing has me cracking up along with Audrey 2.

I Think the anchor is meant to be a plough so that nurgles top gardener can plans seeds as he goes and leave a trail of beautiful rotting flowers and sentient living dead trees.

I like to look of the decay/growth wheel that comes with the blightwar set, Adds some narrative fun to the game.

Lol still cool but I like the idea that it's to stop him going too fast!

That Nurgle beastie is great! Really captures the comic fun-loving aspect of Nurgle creatures. I haven't kept up with the fluff for a long time, but the old descriptions e.g of Beasts energetically bounding around looking for new friends fit with this mini perfectly.

I think it's the pose of the plague bearer I like the best. Sculptor totally nailed it. That and the happy snail.

Vanvlak · « **Reply #7240 on:** August 20, 2017, 09:58:40 PM »

The legs of the beastie are a tiny bit reminiscent of the old metal beast of Nurgle; the rest is fun all the way.
I too have been thinking of some Nurgley stuff which can also go with my 40k Plague marines, and a handful of the Stormcast - I have a handful and they're fun to paint if you don't obsess over the detail - and this fits the bill.

McMordain · « **Reply #7241 on:** August 20, 2017, 11:19:02 PM »

I don't understand why people like Nurgle and his minions, he never appealed to me.
But man, I do want that snailthing. I would probably convert it to be less nurgleish though.
The female stormcast is nice as well.
