Nurgle’s Big Boy is finally here, and this kit seems to live up to the hype.

Sure it feels at first like an up-scaled clampack kit with the way the model was digitally sliced to fit on to the sprue, but it’s detailing and overall design is some of the best yet.

The new Glottkin is a combined unit of the brothers Glott (Ethrac, Ghruk, and Otto) with Ghruk being the mount for the other two, making this a versatile three model kit.

Checking in at just two sprues, this is the type of kit that wouldn’t have been possible to make at this size at detail level just years ago.

Plus there is a slew of fun and exciting Nurgling models included too to place around the base or Glottkin itself for flavor.

I know I can’t wait to see what conversions everyone comes up with using the Glottkin.

Get the full look at it below in our latest video review. -MBG
