True enough, I've frequented four different gaming stores since starting the hobby and each one would have a player that every one would call "Papa Nurgle' when he wasn't around.

So apparently Khorne is getting his own codex supplement. Maybe each Chaos god will eventually get a treatment?

It's almost certainly happening just because they just released new Bloodthirsters and needed to release 40k rules for them.

Isn't Khorne the most popular/most supported? I like red and gold and all that, but hopefully there's something for the other gods coming too.


Yeah there's many bitz I can't identify! I've only been able to look at a couple of the sprues but one of them has the medieval guy running away that Forge World use in their pictures - definitely have to paint him up soon, just for kicks.

How much did you pay for it all, if you don't mind me asking? Might try trawling some local groups if it's worth it to find decent deals.

They also released some bomb-rear end Nurgle End Times models and I certainly wouldn't mind having rules for those either.

You have rules already, 'counts as' Maulerfields and the like. Maybe Glotkin could be a Knight or something.

They already have actual rules for the Bloodthirster as well. A legitimate unit entry, even. That's not stopping them making a whole new book.

£55 with tracked postage within the UK. It's about 10kg of stuff, but that's because they guy included flocking, sand, ballast and other stuff. He's been gettin rid of his 40K stuff for weeks, I think this was the last of it.

Jesus christ, what a steal. That's a helluva deal for that many bits, and even the flock you got could resell for what you paid alone. Good find!

Yeah, I really had to jump on it when I saw the pictures the guy put up in the group. I've been looking for the chaos turret spikes and things like that for a while, to use on a Chaos Knight conversion and missed out on a huge ebay job lot of spike vehicle parts so I'm happy there's just enough in here to do that project plus tons and tons of extra stuff. Cities of Death booby trap resin bits, 40K rubble base bits, GW snow flock and loads more. It'll take a while to sort through it all! There's even whole Ork biker models and a GW/FW Defrolla...I think I'm set for bitz for a very long time.

e: made a comment to my friend about that new Khorne codex, at least it's 50% better than the Knight codex because it has one more unit

I think the Khorne book will have reprinted Dataslates for all the units it can have - they gotta fill in 120 pages worth of stuff.

That would be pretty awesome, actually. I'd also like to see a 3 Maulerfiend formation, and a reprinting of Kharne's Butcherhorde.

Came here to say this- I hope the Skitarii plastics look decent since the ad-secularis just don't do it for me.

It's cool that my admech now have an official 40k army though. Though as Ghost Hand suggests they are going to be very different beasts. I wonder what kind of army they will be?

Exactly. Win-win for both playing in 30k and 40k. I would imagine that a lot of Taghmata stuff can be proxied into Skitarii... maybe.

fwiw skitarii are usually described as being fairly huge which the tech-thralls certainly aren't.

Supposedly Adeptus Mechanicus. I'm not really sure what units would be in that. Tech Priests? It'll probably be something small like Harlequins and Tempestus.

I'd imagine Skitarii, Myrmidons, Magos/Archmagos, and a handful of war machines. Probably servitors too.

Yeah but they're huge like "almost as big as Space Marines" not huge like Ogryns. I would be a little put off if they were on 40mm bases.

Depending on how many arms they have, 32mm would probably be appropriate, but someone wanting to use them as tech-thralls might be able to cram them onto 25s even then.

I imagine they'll do plastic Servitors and Techpriests, if only because those have some cross army appeal.

So I'm going to be in the Los Angeles area for a long vacation starting next week and was wondering if any CA goons wanted to get together at any point? My traveling capacity is pretty limited so I doubt I'd be able to bring more than a tiny 500-750pt army but I thought it might be cool to get a game in with someone. If you're interested shoot me a PM and maybe we can wage travel-sized war and/or get a drink somewhere.
