Jezzails losing skirmish: A T3 model with a 4+ save base and one wound? Easier yet to kill: 8 Thunderer's at long range can drop 2-3 of them a turn and probably cause a panic check. Real minor complaint though, considering Rank-or-Skirmish, our Magic Missiles will sort out the snipers just as well.

Not to mention the fact that Jezzails used to be ranked as well, so it's just going back to the way it used to be.

Thanks to Mr. Scarfester from the Underempire for more Blanche conversion snaps and new model pics.

**Schepp himself**

Nice. Dirty and whimpy, justlike the (current) Artwork.

i can see me buying the new clanrats to convert to Stormvermin. in yellow and black should go well with my existing rats

meet clan Qlu (or No Qlu as some call it )

**Railguns**

Those pics are too blurry to make out what is new kit and what is a conversion. All except for that clanrat torso bolted on to Necron Warrior legs.

..or you could just buy the new stormvermin models instead...

And that isn't appropriate for John Blanche's work in what way?

**Wehrkind**

Yea, his stuff looks a lot better if you don't focus your eyes completely. Preferably after 5-10 drinks.

**Railguns**

I didn't say that it wasn't appropriate now...

IT just isn't the best picture to show what the new kit has. Honestly though, I'm really excited to see what comes of the Skaven release and may actually make the jump to fantasy if it comes out to my liking. (hoping skyre doesn't get nerf batted to impotence)

**radiohazard**

The globadiers and WFT are models that don't need upgrading. They are some of the best models still about.

Very much looking fwd to this one, i've always been a fan of the rats.

Both probably, but im thinking convering would be fun with these.

Deathmaster Snikch

Packmaster Skweel Gnawtooth

Warlord Queek Headtaker:

Clanrats:

Doomwheel:

Stormvermin:

**LunaHound**

Storm vermin waaaaaaaaay too expensive

Those 2 special characters, BEST GW sculpt to date.

Finally am army worthy for me to update !

O-M-G

**Sidstyler**

Nice, I especially like Snikch and the doomwheel.

Yeah, the stormvermin look kinda pricey, but it's a 20 model box though.

**LunaHound**

I cant stop smiling , its been forever since GW sculpted something i LOVE !!!!!

and so many!!!

*EDIT because im TOO EXCITED WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

**Oshunai**

The Deathmaster model is PURE WIN, like the tiny rats crawling out of the armour on his base.

Don't like the new Doomwheel though. And even with online discounts there is no way I'm buying the new stormvermin.

**Sidstyler**

You know, when I was looking for a WHF army I almost thought of going with Skaven before Dark Elves. Starting to wonder if that was smart.

Hell, I only have one unit for my DE anyway so I could always hop on over...

...in a year perhaps, when I might have money to start buying models again.

**Deff Dread red Edition**

Really cool, I was thinking of getting the Army book it is almost a must have now. I really love Queeks new model, looks awesome!

I liked it more when the pilot is more visible sitting ontop , now it feels too crowded .

Forget Dark Elves , get more rats!

I love the unhelmet clean looking clan rat head . looks SO CUTE
mixing them into space wolves.

**hammerofulric**

Marine players have been paying more than that per model for years. Get over it. £1.50 each ain't that bad.

Thats not the point mister. Just comparing it with the clan rat box.
Not every price complaint is to do with affordability .

Now lets hope for news of new Battalion ....

i wannnnnnnnt!!!

**His Master's Voice**

I'm sooo glad I didn't order my Space Wolves yet... Doomwheel brigade, here I come!

**Boss Salvage**

Thanks Red!! Snikch and Aggro-Queek are aces, but I do love the hell out of that doomwheel, dig that design with the driver inside the wheel. Also, I'm somewhat shocked to see 20-rat boxes, and happy that clanrats have ducked under the $22-for-10 standard (even if stormies are over it).

Excite!!

I like the way you think, a Doomwheel brigade sounds awesome!

On a side note, they(the doomwheels)remind me some what of those wheel bikes from star wars. None the less, it's a really cool model.

Agree about the Doomwheel. I love the "Rube Goldberg" look to it. Maybe I can be motivated to finally field my rat army.

**Anung Un Rama**

But I don't want to play Fantasy, damn it!

**bubber**

Are now up for pre-order -

**JohnHwangDD**

Wow, how did GW manage to surprise us with those?!? You'd think someone would have snuck out some pics from the recent Games Day...

Anyhow, the Characters are nice and dynamic, as Luna notes.

The Clanrats are quite good, and nice to see they're sold 20 a pop. I guess Skaven are going to need huge boatloads if GW is breaking the 10/box rule for them... Perhaps weedy Skaven require ranks of 6 or more?

The Doomwheel is OK, but doesn't quite match up to the previous version. Also, like Luna, I don't like the pilot inside - how does he see?

The Stormvermin are good, and the new standard model sizing looks to be paying off, rather than increasing with every edition.

Also, why do I have such a strong Japanese feel from these minis?

**His Master's Voice**

Periscope ahoy

**Railguns**

Generally fantastically awesome models. Something about the unhinged jaws of the Clanrats on the far left of the box doesn't look quite right though.
