Another big online GW Preview for all things Warhammer is here! Catch all the latest reveals from Warhammer TV and Warhammer Community along with our team’s commentary!
Warhammer Day Preview
Saturday the 30th of October is Warhammer Day and there’s no better way to celebrate than with an online preview! There are going to be massive reveals for a whole host of games and we’ve got all of the details you need to ensure that you don’t miss any of them.
We’ve already shown off the incredible new models that you’ll be able to pick up as part of the Warhammer Day celebrations. On the day itself, we’ll have all of the latest news about the following games.
New AoS Maggotkin of Nurgle
The Maggotkin of Nurgle are receiving the first non-Dominion battletome book for Age of Sigmar as it’s been 3 years since they received a battletome, so it feels about the right time for them to finally get an update.
We’ve also seen some Rumor Engines that hint toward some Nurgle-looking hints. So, if you play them, be on the lookout for those bits in the new previews below!
Rotbringer Sorcerer
This sorcerer, an amalgam of human and fly, is a truly unsettling masterpiece of Nurgle’s dubious generosity. It’s also a brilliant update of a classic model, and it fits in perfectly with the existing Nurgle range.
First and foremost, A brand new model comes to help out Nurgle’s forces in the Mortal Realms. Perhaps the Rotbringer Sorcerer will act like the AoS version of the Malignant Plaguecaster from 40k?
Luckily as it turns out, the new Battletome is right around the corner, which probably means the rest of those new battletome rumors for AoS were true as well because this listed this as first out of the gate for 3.0.
Maggotkin of Nurgle Battletome
Mark your calendars for December, when we expect the new battletome to arrive – just in time for Grandfather Nurgle to spread his sickening gifts to the world. Keep a single, rheumy eye peeled for more news about the Maggotkin, and we’ll keep you informed.
December is very close! Nurgle’s followers are so close to the finish line, as they’ve now been waiting multiple years for their update!
Facing off against an army dedicated to Nurgle should be daunting, and now it feels that way. The various plagues and contagions have more impact, and the troops are just as hard to put down. Even more so if you bring along their most powerful daemon, the so-called Loci of Fecundity.
During the stream they hinted at pumping our mortal wounds if you get diseased by a Nurgle unit, even after they die, they will continue to chip away.
Now let’s take a look at the next three books that are rumored to be next after a newly reworked Maggotkin battletome.
Gloomspite Gitz
Again, this is about a 3-year-old book, with how much things have changed with AoS in that time, not to mention a new edition, they need a little bit of work. They are still performing okay but could use some reworks.
We’re not sure what new minis they will get, as their model line isn’t that old. Still, they will probably get a new champion or two, or at least a couple of reworks.

Ogors
Let’s just say we are hoping beyond hope this is true, and that basically, they get a rehaul on almost all of their minis! We don’t even care about the book so much, just the need for some new minis!
A large portion of their units is from before the change over to AoS, meaning they haven’t been touched in years and years. This could be a massive overhaul, or if GW doesn’t feel like it, maybe they just redo a unit or two. Let’s just hope that’s not the case!
Beasts of Chaos
You know an army needs a rework when the pictures on the site for multiple of their units are still on square bases. It’s like GW just didn’t even care enough to change them to the new format over the years.
So, yeah, they need a rework and new minis! Maybe they and Ogors can come in a new starter box together with all new minis! One can dream, but according to these rumors, we don’t have that long to wait until we know for sure
