Why 3 variants? Is this just another GW excuse to make up some random retcon gak?

I presume the first two builds would be a standard BT and Skarbrand. Now to string a few random Khornate-themed words together to make a variant Bloodthirster. A.... Gorequencher!

My favourite is Bloodcrusher, because it's physically impossible to 'crush' a fluid.

You CAN however crush blood cells.

And the older mounted version?

Can someone, please, please photoshop that model as the cover to End times Five - Staying Alive?

If there is a mini for Archaon and it is appropriately over-the-top... I might actually make a fantasy purchase after all these years.

You mean besides the old foot and mounted versions? Like a needless oversized and ridiculously ornate one like Nagash? To each his own but just checking.

Oh yes. Sure I'd like the old foot version, but if there is a ridiculous one, then yeah, I'd love to own it. I think it being OTT would be part of the charm.

From Captain Citadel on BoLS:

The Plastic Bloodthirster is real.

Kit makes three models a normal bloodthirster with whip and Axe of Khorne, one wielding a monstrous two-handed axe, third has a doubleheaded axe and super long chain flail. The wings are really big - the model is almost as big as Nagash, and is extra tall. It is sculpted on top of a flickering flame. There are three different heads with different types of horns and helmets. Large armoured hooves, thigh straps, regular upper body strapps and gladiator kindof armour. Super muscular, like a super ripped world's strongest man mixed with a Khorne daemon.

**highlord tamburlaine**

At GW's current price point, I can't help but wonder if it would be more economically feasible to go ahead and pick up Mierce's Krull (or the new Banebeast equivalent they're doing for their current Kicstarter) instead of this new kit.

Having built a Verminlord and Boneripper up over the weekend, I do have to say that I love building GW's plastic kits, so it's still a bit of a temptation.

Will wait for pics before making a decision, but I've been wanting a Bloodthirster to replace my long lost Heroquest Gargoyle for decades now.

My hobby habits need to come full circle!

**jonolikespie**

That description of the kit actually sounds really badass. I'd love to paint something like that. Unfortunatly after the nurgle and skaven releases I just don't think GW can pull it off. Too many of the big kits recently have come out looking more like toys, or looking good but with a couple of things attached that make you ask WTF is that?

**dienekes96**

The rumor is that the BT is a Goodwin sculpt. If true, it shouldn't look like a toy.

Didn't he leave like 2 years ago?

You may be thinking of Juan Diaz, he left a few years ago.

Skarbrand has two axes; I can't see a plastic Thirster kit that can't make Angry and Flightless.

That would be pretty damned amazing.

I'm always afraid my Bloodthrister is going to break if I look at it. Plastic is so much better.

I have a feeling that Tzeentch will finally get some love when the Maple Loafs win the Stanley Cup... (meaning never within our grandchildren's lifetime.

it's ok brother. The Phil (Praise be unto him) will surely provide, have faith.

Here's a question... given the rumors of a top-down shakeup of WHFB for the impending 9th Edition, what are the odds that the armies and units included in these End Times books will be completely unusable in six months time?

That's a question on a lot of people's lips (mine included) I think.

**Accolade**

Yeah, I'm worried that the release of 9th will come with a "don't worry, your models will still be valid!*"

*Validity will remain between 2-4 months

**ImAGeek**

That's why I only bought the Thanquol book, and not the Thanquol book, Boneripper, a Verminlord and at least one box of Stormfiends. I wouldn't put it past them to invalidate them in 6 months or so.

Or, and you'll love this part, you and your opponent can agree to continue using those "invalidated" rules and play anyway.

This is something i advocate for BUT keep in mind keeping an old ruleset alive is usually very difficult. Your pool of players shrinks & eventually people get bored and move on.

Said this so many times I may as well just copy and paste it, I have enough trouble finding games for rulesets that are supported, let alone ones that aren't. So yes, ideally, that would be the perfect situation. In practice, I doubt I would often have that luxury.

**highlord tamburlaine**

Sad thing is, all these new Skaven kits are pretty cool little units.

Considering I don't even have enough to field a proper Skaven army under 8th's rules as it stands, maybe there will be hope in 9th.

Pretty low.

The Morghast, Blightkings, and Stormfiends are all meant to be used not only in "End Times games" but also any games you want to play.

How reliable is Captain Citadel?

“Archaon is indeed book five of the End Times, and will be new models coming too.

It will be released sometime in March. Book one has an artist’s rendering of Archaon weilding the Kingslayer on the cover and Book two’s cover is a very nice picture of the current model of Archaon.

The book concentrates on the forces of Khorne, however Orcs and Goblins finally make their appearance in End Times and Grimgor is featured heavily in this book (with rules).

All eight of the Incarnates are revealed, including some BIG surprises on a Shakespearean level.

I talked about the blood thirster recently, but there are more units coming too. Khorne will also be getting Skullreapers, and Wrathmongers.

The Skullreapers look like the Khador Doomreavers with tall doublehanded halbreds, and the Wrathmongers resemble miniature humoid versions of the Lord of Skulls, but with leather armour.”

When I hear someone talking about a Phil and then praising him only one thing comes to mind....

**Fango**

This could be the start of the 'limited release units' thing that is all the talk in the 'Future of Warhammer' rumor thread...I think that has already been mentioned more than once before...the only thing is that GW hasnt officially announced this business plan, or stated that they will only be available for ~6 months or so...yet.

I only pulled the trigger on the book myself as well. but more due to budget constraints than fear of obsolescence.

I guess Archie has to start doing something soon or anyone worth killing will be dead - or undead........or both

I mean he shows up at Middenhiem and

I derped. Disregard this.

I seriously am concerned where this is going. The plot lost me with....well....the Pinky and the Brain-esque Skaven plot.
