ineptmule posted:Cherubael is described as being virtually invulnerable and powerful, also it flies. Maybe use Celestine’s rules, for the resurrecting ability? You could have the other, lesser Daemonhosts as the Geminae as well. This is a great idea, I never would have considered Celestine's rules for this.

Only problem is Celestine has a huge wingspan so is much bigger for purposes of LOS, so you might get people complaining as that Daemonhost mini is much smaller.

If next year we get new Slaanesh stuff with even half the charm and character of this Nurgle stuff I'm gonna seriously regret my decision to start a Tyranid army.

Speaking of Chaos stuff, I just found out this model exists and I need it: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Daemons-of-Tzeentch-Blue-Scribes Is it playable in 40k? I have all sorts of ideas for painting that book!

To be exact it's when they realize this and get pissed off about it. Particularly if they were killed by someone they were trying to play with and realize that person did not like them. The anger they now feel causes them to shed their skin and erupt as Rot Flies. Were they now kill people and laugh about if they were killed in the past they tend to seek out their killers and partially break how their bodies work opening up their mouths in a massive way that they can't do normally, to swallow their target whole, were their victim will spend eternity being mangled by disease and horrid slime in the Fly. Other then that the flies tend to just suck peoples heads off and laugh while doing so. And then they extrude the now plague infested skull which their plaugebearer rider will pick off to toss at people.

I really do want Plague Marines riding rot flies in the future. If Putrid Blightkings can do it why not the Sons of Mortarion?

That's rough, the other greater daemons are $115 and even Magnus is only $130. That's Imperial Knight prices. About $30 less than the Forgeworld one I guess?

It's the same price as Mortarion or a Baneblade. It's either an immense model or a fairly ridiculous increase. Or both.

Yeah I thought it was going to be the same price as the other greater demons. (who are already really expensive.) So thats a shame.

I mean you could always just use Eversor rules? They don’t fly but their move through cover and bonus charge distances and stuff could be “floaty,” and the bio-meltdown could just be Cherubael loving off and teleporting away in a warp explosion.

It looks, going by its base, to be the same size as the FW GUO.  It's very large. Spiteski posted:$280 (140 USD) for a single (albeit largish) model is unreasonable imho, which makes it gouging when they're the sole 40k IP holders. It's a model most customers will only buy one of at most, and which even people playing Daemons won't necessarily buy. Therefore it will possibly/probably not shift in the same bulk as, say, Mortarion who is the only model of that size for his army. The GUO competes with the Bloodthirster and the Changer in the Daemons range. That immediately makes a higher price necessary to offset production and design costs. This is not a consideration unique to GW. The gouging argument is just asinine. The Beasts are clearly priced for the model and not the in-game points value. To be honest I'm surprised they didn't just do a cheap easy to build kit. Lovely Joe Stalin fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Dec 30, 2017 |

Wasn't going to post an update again until I put the snowflock down, but figured I'd get one in before I head back to Minneapolis and it gets ruined somehow in the car. The top is cut down currently, not completely cut yet - still probably going to cut it down as suggested, but for the time being I'm going to leave it. The waterfall needs another white coat on the 'piling' but otherwise I'm probably going to leave it where it's at and see how it comes out once the board is snowed over. It's not perfect but it's not bad, and I'm okay with that.    I like the way the river came out, especially in the cave area. I have one more totem to do (purple, near the waterfall) and then tomorrow before I head back I'm going to stain the outside of the board. Should be done with it sometime in the middle of next week

Nah you can easily see a wealthy Daemon or Nurgle Player getting 2 as you can make a named character and a normal GUO with the kit. Along with the fact that it can support a Nurgle army like the Rot Bringers in Age of Sigmar or the Death Guard.

My LGS has what I just realized are old metal Biovores in the used display case. Are those able to be used as Biovores in 8th edition, or are they much smaller than the newer sculpts (which I haven't seen in person)?

Arguing about the "proper" cost of luxury goods is always a little weird. If you think it is worth the money you will buy it, if it isn't you won't? If enough people choose not to buy, GW will have to adjust future prices lower. If it sells well for them, they won't. Crying about prices is always annoying. Glad I own the old metal one for 50 bucks back in the day, all the same.
