Oh boyohboyohboyohboyohboy!

Remember that time when BoLS said that after Nagash was going to be the new edition?

After Glottkin?

After Khaine?

Take it with a huge grain of salt. The fact that they have no title makes me question this.

It falls in line with all speculation and every other rumor. I will go on record saying that the next book is going to be skaven simply because I can guess correctly...............Take it with a grain of salt but its less a rumor and more like "duh"

Also BoLS has been right about release dats thus far. i mean yes other rumours pointed to January but still it helps reinforce them.

BoLS hasn't "been right about release dates thus far".

Someone submitting information to them has been right about release dates--and even then, those release dates are a reason to be skeptical as sometimes they're posted after someone else has put forward a timeframe.

You have to understand that sites like BoLS or Faeit or Naftka aren't truly generating these rumors/tidbits. They're a dropbox for rumors--and sometimes people just make crap up and throw it to them, only to be right by accident.

Steve the Warboss currently tracks as a little over 50% true, and it is worth noting that some of his BA rumours haven't been updated yet by Pretre, but are spectacularly off the money.

Steve has good 40k information but his wfb stuff... full of it... sorry

Arthurius11 has leaked weeks ago:

- Book and miniatures in Jan 2015
- Thanquol in plastic
- Vermin lord in plastic
- Boneripper in plastic

Amazon has already put up some dates for the softcover novels of ET 4 and 5 by the way

Im kicking myself for selling my army now. I wonder if Thanquol will have a large part to play.

I hope those rumours are true. Skaven are one of the armies I'm deliberating between and some awesome new models might help me pick...

Dont play skaven, never felt like painting 200+ clan rats, but if this new book has a viable way around that i might give them a go.

well 50% heroes for the End Times is going to help even if it does not fix all of the 'need too many minis' problems

Link ? I read BOLS a lot, and yes, they take every rumor out there and put it in a blog post, but I don't recall them stating that after (fill in end times book here) there would be a new edition.

I do recall them stating that 9th was coming either late 14 or up to half way through 15, but those were rumor reposts from others, not them proffering the rumors directly.

I could be wrong, i'd just like to see a link of it is all before we go insinuating that BOLS doesn't have reliable gaming news.

I'm wondering if Thanquol will have a large number to learn.

Haight, Pretre collects rumors in his Ongoing rumor accuracy tracking-thread http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/448304.page

BOLS rumors can be found under Larry Vela. Steve the Warboss has his own section

This rumor was posted *before* khaine came out.. Are we really reposting rumors from BOLS... that BOLS reposted from a dakka rumor thread?

BoLS just rehasing the obvious that we already know

That being said, I am looking forward to it!

Mordheim man; all the vermin'y goodness but max out at 20 models. You get Eshin in the rulebook, there's a pretty balanced experimental warband for Pestilens, a Skryre one floating around I've not tried, and I put together Clan Moulder rules myself(limited playtesting so far, hard to get a game in my area ). Best of all the rules are all totally free

As for the new ET book, despite my pathological hatred of the new fluff the models have almost all been fantastic and none have been terrible, so hopefully Skaven get something interesting beyond just the mandatory gigantic kit.

BoLS is like the metaphoric broken clock that's right twice a day. Everything pointing to Skaven anyway makes this a pretty safe rumor to monger.

If Skaven get Lore of Beasts it's all over.

A unit of 15 point warlock engineers with Savage Beast of Horrors chain cast on them. ..

Have other races got new lores then?

So mandatory that the Elf book saw no new models released...

Regiment fillers are a great way to avoid this ...

200+ clanrats is the least of your worries. Each of those clanrats consists of, on average, 3 or 4 bits = 800 FETHING bits to file and glue!

In the dark corners of Dakka, there is a dungeon where the mods imprison people who incur their wrath. One of the torments to drive you mad is the task of creating a 5000 point Skaven army.

Personally, I hope Thanquol gets written out the game. In my view, he's one of the most feeble, Scooby do style villains in the game. I won't miss him.

My friend runs 0 slaves and has won every game. You don't need the Internet chump list to win with skaven.

Grey seer on bell, HPA (with magical upgrade), Doom Wheel, Plague Monks w/ Furnace, 40 man block of clan rats with Bell, storm vermin with storm banner, engineer with rocket, 2 units of censer bearers. Not sure what else, but it hasn't lost a game yet, and he's taken it to all local tournaments and multiple state tournaments. Everyone expects the 200 slaves. Mix it up and give em something they don't see coming.

They're only 2 parts actually. 3 if you give them shields.

But yeah Skaven are one of the armies I'm considering, and the large amount of models is definitely a con for them.

Yeah, but that's still 400 or 600 bits to file and glue

Good luck with your Skaven force - I have respect for anybody who can go the distance and put together a large Skaven army. I have tried and failed 3 times
