There is no box of plague marines for $50 - where are you seeing that? There is a 3-pack of push fit models for $15, but that's it. The actual plague marine kit isn't coming till like mid october, and it looks to be including 10 marines like the other marine kits. Spikey Bits has an article confirming pre-order prices spikeybits.com/2017/09/wd-reveals-more-on-new-death-guard-waves.htmlRight but it doesn't say there are only 5 models - I was wondering where you saw that. We know the box will be $50, but the image leaks from WD shows at least 7 different bodies so I can't imagine its only 5, and I'd be hard pressed to believe its only 7 - though the fact that the champion and the icon bearer are individual characters instead of included in the box is extremely worrisome if you ask me. Are we going back to the old WHFB 5th edition unit purchase options where you get a plastic kit of Rank and File, and then have to go buy the command units separately?

Yeah, I equated that box with the previous one, and it's clearly different, so I can't really speak to number outside of the pictures.
Are icons that good that you would want several? I guess I equated them with Waaaagh banners

As long as those blister packs are, like, $8-10 for a pack of three command models (like with Fantasy 5th ed), that wouldn't be too bad. I suspect, though, that the Champion and Icon Bearer are HQ and/or Elite models like Space Marine lieutenants and Sisters' Imagifier rather than squad leaders.

Well yeah the champion is a $25 single model clampack, the banner guy is the same way...so not looking like its going to be priced the way WHFB used to be. Looking at the codex the champion and icon bearer are upgrades to the plague marine unit - not their own unit in and of themselves like space marine lieutenants and the primaris ancient. No idea why they didn't just give the options for the banner and the sargeant on the sprue, that seems like a super super odd choice to me.

It's like a boy to a nob with Orks...except nobs come in a 6 pack for $25 (and still look amazing)

I mean granted you can easily convert the icon bearer and champion from the kit itself or using the Dark Imperium ones, and there are no shortage of awesome AoS nurgle bits/banners/leader-worthy weapons to kitbash, so I expect that's exactly what most players will do.

So....this is more of a gentleman's question. RAW a Nurgle sorcerer on a palanquin uses the vanilla chaos psycher powers, because the FAQ says you have to use the index data sheet as it's written if the unit is not in the codex. RAI I think it's fairly clear that the intent is for the whole code to use the DG powers.
Am I a dick (specifically in regards to this) if I bring in a palanquin and start busting out warp time on my pox walkers?

If the rules writers intended for you to have nurgle sorcerers on palanquins with nurgle powers they would have just written them in dog

It seemed a bit cheesy, but I’m also seeing list incorporating it. Since you guys are the only folks I play against I figured I would get a community ruling on it.

I'm more afraid of Morty or the blob of plague marines that can't be shot at and can all throw grenades of doom.
