In the book endtimes they already kinda said what will be happening.

Dwarf are locking their doors "only one who didn't was the slayer king who went out fought the beasts of chaos then went home.
Beastmen got beat twice in the book and lost most of their numbers "so lumped into nurgle release"
Ogres did what they always do went to hire out their arms to help fight
Orcs said they need a fist of gork and a hand of mork "hinted at skarsnik and grimgor" they they just marched off to fight with no real leader
Empire and brets seem to be going to team up since both got a trumping. Also apperantly woodelves helped them both out so may get lumped in with them
Nagash is now sitting on his throne and relaxing while gains power
Archon is just chilling on his throne saying he know his horde is too big and this is "the end time there is not going to be one big battle but many to come" so aka he not moving
Skaven are getting a new seerlord and hopfully will do something.
High elves /dark elves are teaming up it seems because testicles or how ever you spell his name already sent his neice to die and is talking to malaketh.

So people who probly will be mentioned but do nothing are "orcs,dwarfs,beastmen,ogres,"

Anyone catch the hidden message in the what's new today article?

Three there will be: three armies, three lords, three brothers. Three cities will fall, three heroes will die.

Would malekith be considered tyrion and teclis' brother or uncle/cousin?

Also the new black library book for this week is entitled the fall of Altdorf. So that had to be one of the three cities.

If it follows the pattern of the Nagash release, the book will be rules and lore - Warhammer: Nagash certainly did, so we have a model which will require a £106 investment to take full advantage of the model and rules and none of the heritage to enthuse people.

I think if they do it right many people will be enthusiastic about the second book. Nagash was a nice starter but had an established background and lore.There is obviously a greater challenge with the second wave as afar as fluff goes but it's also intriguing to know what they do with the fluff surrounding this new character. Cost is high but if like the Nagash wave it will be worth it in my opinion.

It seems bizarre to me the book with the rules to let you play combined chaos forces, seems to be dead set focused on nurgle characters and units. You would think a chaos book like that would be more chaos undivided.

Three more reasons to dislike this nonsense.

OK seriously, maybe someone can explain this to me because I just don't get it:

GW went total exterminatus on FW's plans for the Tamurkhan series because apparently they thought that essentially ending the Warhammer World by killing off the majority of the existing characters and factions and granting almost-victory to Nurgle-led Chaos was a stupid idea.

GW are now doing essentially exactly that, with the addition of Nagash.

Did someone dump a bunch of lead into Nottingham's tap water in the time inbetween that made them go collectively wonko?

Maybe they changed opinions.

Or maybe GW just thought it'd be better to advance the plot themselves, rather than super-expensive Forgeworld?

You think they'd do an "Elven Kingdoms" and a "Kingdoms of Man" style book, making them all-in-one?

They could do that, and then release supplement books (like the 40k supplements) to flesh out the books better (e.g. Kingdoms of Men: +bretonnian themed supplement, +empire nuln supplement, +tilean mercenaries supplement etc). It's plausible.

I have to admit, it's been a while since I read Tamurkhan, but I don't remember any named characters dying, much less a majority. Am I missing something here?

The released book was intended to be the first of four or five, the result of which would be pretty much what we're getting now with End Times(with the obvious exception of Nagash). GW squashed that plan pretty sharpish, in what might have been(IMO) their only good decision regarding IP management in the last fifteen years.

thenoobbomb says they maybe changed their minds; well, obviously. I just don't understand why, unless they're genuinely so wedded to their current business model for Fantasy and so devoid of creative thinking that the only way they could come up with to revitalise Fantasy as a property was to reheat an old previously-rejected idea to tear the whole thing down and hope they gain more players than they lose.

As for GW doing it rather than "super-expensive" Forgeworld - where are you getting GW models that they're not super-expensive? These days a FW army is only marginally more expensive than a GW army.

FW is a lot more expensive.

10 Cadians for €20,- or 20 Solar Auxilia for like €70,-? Uhh..

I know it's been posted a few separate times, but wow- that pic is epic. The model looks to have huge potential!

The smaller nurgle creations are really suffering from their joints being so visible (and the studio painters not covering the seams...) but this larger one could be amazing. Looking forward to more pics!

I know! I can't wait to convert the riders to a sorcerer and chaos lord, and the mount to a great unclean one. That's an awesome bundle deal

So that's 2Euro per Cadian, and 3.5Euro per Auxilia, right? Consider model counts, there.

For some people. "75% more expensive" is a lot (it's almost twice as expensive, to be fair)

What I'm thinking of is what else it could be used for... picturing a mash up of that and a stompa as a Chaos Nurgle knight proxy

Well was looking through some other rumour threads online and stumbled upon this (take it what you will but it is coming close to release)
Via Faeitt via some other dude on some other website lol

"The Glottkin" box contains a sorcerer and a champion on a monster similar to a Nurgle giant;
- The english version of "Warhammer The End Times: Glottkin" is a set with two hardcover books, one for the story and the other for the rules;
- The italian version is a softcover book with the rules and a reduced version of the story;
- "Warhammer The End Times: Glottkin" contains the story about the forces of Chaos (Daemons, Warriors of Chaos and Beastmen) invading the Empire.

Now some of that we already know but just semi sorta confirms the two hardcover books one with fluff and one with rules

Very tempted to pre-order this one.

Am I the only one tho thinks GW will make the redrawn Warhammer world more steampunk, after seeing Malifaux and Warmahordes success?

Yes, you are the only one. If whfb goes steampunk I'm out. Just like that.

Are you unaware of the steam tank, steam cannon, gyrocopter, gattling muskets and robohorse?

A bit late to rail against putting some steampunk in WHFB, they've been doing it since before it was cool.

The Glottkin is not the mount/large model.
Its the names of the 2 riders on top of it.

"nurgles earthly emissaries"



pretty big

Skaven have some pretty steampunky type things if you look at their weapon teams and the warplock engineers (clan skyre stuff essentially)

I'm really digging the nurgle stuff they've shown so far. Excited to see what else they have for him, and hopefully other gods as well. I realize there hasn't been as much love for Tzeentch and Slaanesh, but hopefully they'll get their fair share as well. We have new(er) Khorne and Slaanesh cavalry, I'd love to see Tzeentch get some kind of crazy mounted unit.

In regards to steampunk in the game, aside from the empire and Dwarfs who have plenty of it, there are also plenty of other 'punks' in the WaFaBa world.

Skaven are 'magic stone punks'

lizardmen are 'Solar punks'

Chaos Dwarfs are 'Bound Daemon Punks' (though so are the demons as well)

Orcs & Goblins are 'snotling punks'

Damn that thing looks awesome. Can't wait to see some rules for it.

Juggernauts have been in the game for how long now?

WFB has always had some steampunk involved, it just hasn't been a major theme.

Was going to say- Skaven are (sort of) steampunk. Dwarfs definitely are, and so is the Empire (mechanical horses, steam powered tanks)

I'd say Skaven are sort of the most steampunk race in WFB. Have you seen the amount of goggles and one eye lenses they wear?

Erm that Glottkin model is a bit big isn't it? Jeez.

I can see GW releasing a new carry case to coincide with this release, probably a rebranded Transit Van going by the size of that big bastard!

Definately GUO fodder there!
