Nurgle Chaos Warriors don't look like Nurgle Chaos Warriors

[Mu]

Where is the bloat, the exposed skin, the antlers, the rusted metal, the 'blessings' of Nurgle?
It's fine that some of the variations are in full armour but they all look too clean and lean in the image on the Total War blog.

People are defending the very tame look quoting age rating, modding, skeleton limitation and other nonsense already but this DLC isn't a free gift.

We should get a better look at the units tomorrow but it seems unlikely that they are more than a simple reskin of Chaos Warriors.

Don't let CA get away with this low effort job, the DLC already has very little new units, they should give each reskinned Undivided unit more care and also give each Chaos Spawn unit a new unique look.

Those are the marked warriors…..there are no chosen of nurgle in the base game dummy

There are no Nurgle warriors in the base game either? The dlc is adding marauders, warriors, and chosen for all four chaos gods, the blog post CA did about it says as much and even has a list of all the units being added. :theDoge:

thats,,,,exactly what i said....but k

I agree with the nurgle aesthetics, its just looks to clean for nurgle's standard. Like if CA doesnt want the guts (hopefully they are added in the blood DLC) then fine but at least have the bellies exposed with gaping mouths and whatnot cuz the current warriors just dont feel Nurglish enough

Thats not a nurgle chaos warrior or chosen that a freaking age of sigmar blightking. I swear the masses know nothing even when this is all easily googleable.

It is kind of silly how many times you have to tell peeps what the truth is.
I was even a little confused earlier today, but Fang’s posts and yours helped to set me straight.

Maybe someday enough people will hear this information, and we won’t have to have the same conversation over and over.

Until then, thank you for all your help!

They look fine. If you want more bloated stuff look for the chosen and chaos spawns. Always complaining about every little thing.

Except the Chosen aren't even going to be mutated in the slightest in WH3. In fact they look the exact same as regular chosen but with a different helmet, a different shield that looks more undivided than Nurgle anyway, and a tiny nurgle symbol on their axes.

Chosen =/= Blightkings. Be awesome if they were but they're not.

They already have rusted metal and the sorcerer have antlers.

When it comes to bloat that isn't really a thing for most lower tier nurgle troops. Its more a thing for blightkings and the like. Most mutations on warriors and the like is underneath the armor thus doesn't really show.

That said, i do hope they do a bit of bloat and more impressive mutations on some of the chosen, not all of them mind, but some (since they are a bit higher tier Nurgle and some of them do have to bloated look), but i'm not holding my breath.

These are Nurgle Chaos warriors. They are correct to the source material. You are refering to a different unit entirely.

Nope, chaos warriors should look like OP describes them. Especially that we have to pay for it TWICE

You forgot to mention hotseat mode. Now CA will think you're not committed.

And, gaming companies dont care about this stuff and wont make effort like that for individual units when they can use the same ones.

I feel that.

Most of the people who think they all should be bloated are subconsciously basing it in a odd roundabout why to plague marines from 40K.

Before they even had a codex I remember the old models being bloated with bits of guts popping in view. Them being Nurgle one can assume the bulging stomach ki-um appearance was common place.

Putrid Blightkings appeared to kind of carry that aesthetic over in Warhammer Fantasy where before to get any actual solid disease or infected look for the majority of Fantasy's history was through kitbashing and green stuffing.

Technically yes. The pot bellied look is a Nurgle shtick. Nurglings are tubby huggy bears.

GUO's are tubby huggy mountains and even plaguebearers have that little crotchet look to them. The vast majority of nurgle marked units in Warhammer fantasy though are basically the normal look but in green. Maybe some rust.

In lore sickness can cover a wide array of sizes and looks because diseases are different and a bit more able to be applied.

Could they have made them all big bellied? Sure. Is it lore accurate? Well, not if they all are.

Could they have added a model or two into the mix for variety? Absolutely but even though they didn't I don't think it's a strike against them.

Just like with Tzeentch folks need to understand that not all chaos warriors are going to have a billion eyes and tentacles flailing around everywhere. Sometimes being marked by Tzeentch just means you start a music group and sing about blue people in a blue world.

Then Slaanesh steps in and slaps you with a C@D order. Thus began the fued between the 4.

True story.

Honest.

OH NO!
Uhm, Hotseat mode is the only way we’ll be able to try out all the new unit variations at the same time, properly, that is.

Thank you for reminding me Rianne.

Has this started to bleed over into everything else yet?

"Hello I'd like to book a flight please."

"Of course sir, where would you like to fly to?"

"Hot-seat."

"What?"

"I mean um...I said London."

Yes I agree. I'm finding it hard to play other games without a Hotseat mode now that Puggly has shown me how glorious it is.

Yeah, I was playing Vermintide 2 yesterday and I thought to myself; “Man, if only this game had Hotseat mode.” Only to then realize that that’s a silly notion. You can’t add Hotseat mode to an FPS game, that doesn’t make sense.

Later, I was eating some cereal, when I thought to myself; “Man, if only my cereal had Hotseat mode.”
I didn’t even know how to mentally respond to that.

I also got banned from some forum that had nothing to do with video games because I suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to rant about how glorious and awesome Hotseat mode is.
