Just thought i'd put this up so everyone here will know what to expect when the skaven march to war in November These where taken from mutilple forums but i edited out wrong or old stuff and there just about all confirmed as most local GW's have the book for people to look at!

Not an army wide rule as such, but it appears that everything that uses a template now automatically also hit partials without needing to roll a 4+. This might be a sign of things to come in 8th edition.

Place don't post bulk rules since it infringes the GW copyright on their codex.

Actually on the dreaded thirteenth spell it actually causes 4D6 models to turn into clanrats and the rest of the unit just dies.
Yeah, get irresistable on that spell and all deathstars go "poof".

Cheaper Stormvermin? Awesome monsters and war engines? Weird and horrible mounts and monsters? They just made Skaven the most excellent army in the game. By the way, it sounds like they're going to make blast weapons work the same way in fantasy as they do in 5th edition 40K. That is one of the few things they did right. I can't wait to get pics of the giant pox rat mount.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Its basically a ball wiith an opening in the back it rotates forward around the rider who holds on to something can't tell from pic. But its covered swirling blades and spikes and random knives and all the cutty stuff you can think of. It is basically used to ram lines and them up! Was used alot against dwarves underground.

Prophetic globe:

Now to figure out how to model a rat with a magic eightball!

Forget the big machines (though they are REAAAAALLLY nice and cool looking) that abomination is where it's at. That thing is going to wreck people.

You didn't mention it, but the Abomination has impact hits.

All in all, fact is that Warhammer 40K has never been as balanced as it is now, and codex releases have never been as interesting as they are now (new units and vehicles and tons of new special rules/strategies each release -- not just the same old crap with a few changes in statlines and points costs).

The description of the Hell Pit Abomination reminds me of that chaos spawn type creature at the start of Princess Monoke (awesome, but very strange film if you haven't seen it).
