Nurgle is back - this time for Age of $igmar/ Malign Portents! Well that's what they're saying, but in reality the "[INSERT NAME HERE] can be added to both Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar armies." is on every release, so this is an old school Realm of Chaos release across both systems.
The big news is the Great Unclean One/ Rotigus combo kit. As we saw in our White Dwarf Review, there are multiple options for the Great Unclean One model with arm, head and gut options. The Heralds of Nurgle are back with Spoilpox Scrivener and the very cool Poxbringer - personally we think a week of Heralds for all the Chaos Powers would have been cool, two for each like the old days! We know there's one more to come, so expect more Nurgle releases next week. Mr Blightwar himself, Horticulous Slimux, is now available outside that set too (at a super-high price) plus Nurgle get some scenery with the 6-part kit Feculent Gnarlmaw. The Maggotkin of Nurgle Battletome will give you all the fluff and rules you need to field these urky dudes, plus there's the Warcroll Cards. In arguably bigger news, the Codex for Chaos Daemons in Warhammer 40K is also being released. This comes in Super Summoner edition and the normal standard Witchy-Poo edition, plus there are the Chaos Daemon Data Cards!

In a way this release is an odd one. Frankly tacking these Nurgle release onto the back of the large 40K release window would have been better - considering you can use these models in both systems. Keep the vibe going and all! Then you could have released the Chaos Daemons Codex with Heralds for the four Chaos Powers on a different week. A new Codex with new models to keep that moving along nicely too. It seems like the 40K Codex is being overshadowed when there has been a big build up to it's release both in the Community at large and on the GW site. Oh well....
