They're larger than space marines - they're the same size as the nurgle rotbringers, and come on 40mm bases, so they're roughly terminator sized. Uhhhh is this a newer version of them? I have one and he is smaller than a terminator, and came on a 25mm base (space marine equalivant). Just curious. Because if their newer version is bigger then they could work

Gotrut spume? He came on a 40mm base when he was released, along with the nurgle blight kings during the End Times shebang
The generic nurgle lord with the axe might be on a 25mm, I remember him being about the same size as a generic chaos warriors - so space marine sized for him makes sense. I have one at home in storage somewhere, I can double check.

Looks like the case of the missing Blight Hauler may have been solved: war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/2561Looks like its because its an easy-build kit that GW is releasing sometime in the near future, rather than an MPPK with lots of options, which makes sense considering I don't think it even has any options in the main codex other than the stock options.

Fantastic, because I NEED more models.
In my mind, the money for all of them has already been spent.

Well and if its push-fit, that usually carries a lower price tag, which is awesome

do those little guys have weapon options, or are they only one loadout?

Do we have any moroe info on who that character is? Also I am going to take a stab at kitbashing some Plague Marines (basically taking the superior bits from the box set and trying to put them on the Dark Imperium bodies) to see if that can give me a little more variety in my troops. I love the Plague marine detail, but it also leads to a lot of repeating models, with the only variation being backpacks and heads. Playing Orcs has spoiled me with the ability to have no two models look alike. Which leads me to a terrible question.... Do we think Khorn is going to get new models?

The character probably has his own datasheet in the box, but it appears to be a cataphractii terminator lord with scythe, which would be the missing model for the Lord of Contagion with manreaper/plaguereaper (whatever its called). So its basically GWs way of pushing out the missing pieces of the codex while making it easy for new players to get into DG and Primaris respectively.

Kitbashing IS possible, and you can use the cheaper Dark Imperium plague marines if you have purchased at least 2 boxes of marines. It is insanely time consuming but it adds a ton of variety to your force. Going to need a lot of green stuff though.
I’m already eying the horizon (I swear to Nurgle after I paint what I have) and wondering about Khorn

So a demon can only be summoned 12 inches from a character?

I'm not sure if it's the unit or all models, don't have my index in front of me but yes the range is 12".

Booooooo, that takes a big chunk out of its usefulness. Doesn’t make it useless per se, especially since nerglings can move and charge after summoning, but I was hoping to be able to summon them across board into artillery.
