Some more Skaven rumours. Not very likely to come true...

scoopdeta wrote:So I recieved some information from a close friend of mine recently regarding the Skaven Release for the End-Times. Just to add some more clarity on the source...the information comes from marketing materials which have been developed/are being developed for the sales side of the house. Can't provide too much more info on that as I do not want to get my friend in hot water. I have known him since college and he would have no reason to lie to me. So this is the rundown he gave me:

Skaven background will focus on an invasion of Lustria and inlcude a lot of information on Lizardmen and “the plan” as well. While the book will be Skaven focused, it will still have a heavy Lizardmen flavor as the main plot lines focus around them. It will also discuss the “Great Ascendancy” which will include the horned rat and the rise of the Skaven to the surface to enslave all of mankind (or attempt to). The true roots of Skaven will also be discussed. It will also cover Skaven happenings around the warhammer world, including the Dwarfs, the Chaos Invasion and the return of Nagash and how the rats fit into the whole picture. The Skaven are not too keen on the whole end of times motif for the obvious negative effects it will have on their survival...so as usual they plot and scheme to ensure that their best interests are served in the end with others doing their dirty work. Not to play spoiler, but it sounds as though they will play a pivotal role in undoing the nefarious plans of the dark powers.
There will be new models accompanying the release to include:
New Vermin Lord (Horned Rat) BIG Kit....
Lord Skrolk
Lord Nurglitch
Grey Seer Thanquol and Bone Ripper
Grey Seer on Foot
Rat Ogres
Dual kit with Poisoned Wind Globadiers and Plague Censer Bearers

I will say that I was hesitant to post this at all as there seems to be a bit of aggression at times within these forums. However I love some Skaven and I do follow these forums closely and felt that I should share. Take it for what you will…

Added and updated a bunch of BA rumors.

Ugh, the holidays. I feel like I may be missing some of the recent stuff.

The fact you know that is awesome. Good work!

Thanks. If anyone saw anything I missed, let me know and I'll add it.

I think I just caught up on rumors. Now I need to grade a bunch of BA rumors.

Natfka railing against the rumor tracker again:

He still has never come up with one instance of my 'abysmal track record'.

Ooh, deleting my comments too.

This guy's record is something like 25%, so presumably junk:

1) Chaos : Demons + Beasts + Mortals
2) Elves
3) Empire

Bye bye marauders, ungors, centigors, razorgor etc

2) Elves core : spearmen/archers/cavalry on horse

dark elves monsters are gone : cold ones, hydra

3) Empire core: Hallberds/Handgun/Canon
Some dwarves survivors and ogres are included
Imperial and bretonnian knights are merged

4) Undead core : Skeletons/Ghouls/Spirit host
bye bye bone giant, scorpion sphinx, chariots and everything too much egyptian

5) Orcs and goblins core : Goblins/Orcs/Black orcs
no real change for them

6) Skaven core : Clanrats/Plague rats/Rat ogres
no real change for them too

Wow, can't handle criticism at all, can he? No, the highly-managed rumor tracker (both yourself pretre and all the support you get from Dakkanauts) MUST be wrong!

Heheh. Exactly.

Here's an ancient rumor from Cargad.com that I need to fact check:

Release Schedule Rumors - Feb 2009

Thanks to a small bird, we give a pile you of the VERY TRUSTWORTHY news exceeds what Games Workshop will send during 2.009. Obvious, surely what it is said safe is nothing, but he is quite safe *
March: the War of Anillo. I supplement so that SdA is a game of battles and not of skirmishes. They will even sell plastic pedestals for “adapting” or “putting in rows” minis of the Gentleman of the Ring. *
April: the Imperial Guard comes. Few new miniatures, but will be something (and great). *
May: Fantasy, second big wave of miniatures of the Empire. To already known Tank Steam they are united (finally) Great the Espaderos to him of plastic. We will also see the new Altar military. *
Julio: Warhammer 40,000 Planet Strike. I supplement for planetary assaults. The stage scene says that it is the best one than it has never been seen.
* August: Elfos for SDA.
* September: You remember that we said to you that for 2,009 was going away to reedit a classic one? Then already we can say that one is SPACE HULK. With new miniatures (impressive) among others of Exterminadores and Genestealers. Without a doubt, the explosion of 2,009 (and now to hope that also they reedit Heroquest). Ah, has said to us that perhaps the price is high, so to buy in England it becomes essential.
* October: It is possible (but it is without confirming) that of Warhammer Fantasy we see the Skavens.
* In November it is highly probable that we see códex of certain chapter of Marin, but not yet is confirmed. And now, the brief news:
* For the 2,010, it almost seems certainly there will be new códex of Tiránidos and Bloody Angeles (taking advantage of the pull of Space Hulk), and says that Necrones or (attention) Tau.
* Of Fantasy the first army that we will see will be the one of Khemri. Without the news of the Beasts of the Chaos.
* There is the good news and the bad news for fans of the Eldar Dark. The good one is that the project is finished, book and miniatures. The bad one is that by low popularity of códex, its launching has discarded.
* A rumor that had appeared envelope that Games Workshop could “leave of side” printed books and to happen to give the pdf free (since already it did in Japan) is denied. That is everything. We give thanks to who has blown the news to us (that she will follow in the anonymity).

The Codex is done, the models are in production, and it's nebulously a Q2 release. It's the Dark Eldar treatment-- rebuilt the range from the ground up, completely.

Post it in the sisters thread. I'll update this one tomorrow.

May the emperor have mercy on your soul.

It's already linked in the Sisters rumor thread too. I was posting via phone at the time so copy and pasting was too much of a headache. I am hoping this pans out better than last time this source told me anything though.

Yeah, that one was not so good. lol

Oh I know. But if this fails, so do a lot of other existing rumors so it's not like I'm the only one who is potentially wrong.

FALSE

There will be new models accompanying the release to include:
New Vermin Lord (Horned Rat) BIG Kit....

TRUE (pile on)

Lord Skrolk

FALSE

Lord Nurglitch

FALSE

Grey Seer Thanquol and Bone Ripper

TRUE (pile on)

Grey Seer on Foot

TRUE

Rat Ogres

TRUE

Dual kit with Poisoned Wind Globadiers and Plague Censer Bearers

FALSE


About as expected. It was shown that Arthurius11 knew what he was talking about when his earlier End Times rumours were proven true. So this guy copied what he had to say about Skaven and added some guesses of his own. Some of these were true, but most were not.

Cool, I'll update Monday. Thanks, Avian!

Updated.

Isn't it about time to just close the book on the Blood Bowl rumors that Harry has under his listing?
