Uprising Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I really enjoy the model, but I can find no reference to them anywhere on the board and barely any online. Can we even use them? Do they have good rules or should I just paint them up and use them as count as spawns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 There have been a couple of WD battle reports using Plague Toads as 40K Chaos Daemon Beasts of Nurgle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 They are adorable - so get some and paint them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uprising Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 They are adorable - so get some and paint them! I plan to, I just love the models. Beside they will look good beside my nurgle daemon and about 200 plus plague zombies led by typhus. I can't wait till I get my khorne army done for ETL 3 so I can start on my zombie project!

Shaolin_Monkey Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 They have rules in WHFB in the Tamurkhan book FW released. No rules in 40k that I am aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellios Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 This calls for Apocalypse and... Captain Hausrulen! Also, don't forget to do a Plague lord mounted on one... Maybe it can be a Jump Pack :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Kallozar Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hahaha love the "jump pack" toad idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uprising Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Look like I will use them nurgle spawn, beast of nurgle, and add a magnet for each so I can attach a marine rider for count as jump pack (thinking two lords and one sorc) @Raptor: I love the idea, what chapter is brother Jim and Steven from, your choice(Just please no green chapters) Also is it just me or does the front toad have a "why so serious" Joker face? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Arh2hjV01uc/UQXUE8nhZzI/AAAAAAAABPU/Cd_VRbaJac0/s1600/DSCF4649.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosRaptor Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Haha I hadn't thought about it dude. Lamenters maybe? They have the worst luck One suggestion if you go about doing this, gotta do a Wicked-witch-of-the west type thing where just the legs are sticking out!

Uprising Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Well I just won some plague toads, and got some blood angels bits for the lamentars. So who knows a good yellow tutorial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crucial Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I got some over a year ago and they are really really nice models and a joy to paint. Really easy. Problem using them as spawn is the giant dreadnought base however so ive only used them as nurgle spawn once. Seems the beast of nurgle codex entry is absolutely made for these models but they are the sjngle least talked about unit in the whole 'dex So ive not tried them :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plague Angel Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Really? I confess I don't pay attention to 40k daemons that much, but given how much I hear complaints from players of both games that the 40k and WHFB daemon books are copy-pastes of each other, I tend to assume units are fairly equal across the lines. And Beasts are one of the auto-includes for WHFB daemons. Huh. Maybe I should give the daemon codex a closer look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomulusPrime Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 In a mono-Nurgle list, Beasts of Nurgle are obviously auto include. In other lists, they still provide some nice benefits: they are extremely durable to small arms fire, they are beasts, so still pretty fast, and the Atention Seeker SR makes them quite helpful when you get assaulted. When I run them, I either: A) keep them in reserve then Deep Strike them behind/close to the enemy as a durable distraction unit (and tarpit extraordinaire), or B) deploy them near my objective holders to help dissuade chargers, or at least keep troops choices alive longer. Run them with a Feel No Pain Herald with a few Biomancy powers for extra fun. One thing to keep in mind though, they are still outclassed by other units, who can do their job better, namely Flesh Hounds and Seekers of Slaanesh. Hounds are still pretty tough, but provide more attacks in combat, and while Seekers are wayyyyyyy cheaper and extremely potent in the assault, they are about as tough as a newborn haemophiliac bunny.

Lord Xcapobl Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I, too, use these as Beasts of Nurgle. Considering they are also part of the 40K Daemons Codex, I have them in a small allied detachment for my Plague Marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
