Nothing new there, just the army book cover and pic of one of the new clan rats along with following fluff:
Incoming: Skaven — Article by Adam Troke wrote:
The Skaven are warped and mutated creatures, as much rat as man. They are hideous, hunched monsters, a grotesque parody of humanity - the stuff of nightmares given form. From their underground empire they plot the downfall of the other races, preparing for a day when they can rise up and usurp the civilised world.
As a race the Skaven fight as an innumerable horde, a chittering, squealing army of cruel and malicious warriors who, though individually weak, are incredibly dangerous in large numbers. Armed with notched blades and pilfered spears, the Skaven Clanrats are supported by towering war machines of incredible power - from the arcane technologies of the Doomwheel and Warp Lightning Cannon to the infernal magic of the Screaming Bell. With these ramshackle weapons of war in their midst, the Skaven are a truly terrifying and deadly foe.
This November, the Skaven are being set loose, with a 112-page army book packed full of detailed background, lavish artwork and all the rules you'll need to unleash the Skaven on the battlefield. Of course, there's also a dazzling array of fantastic new miniatures on their way too, including stunning multi-part plastic kits and finely detailed metal miniatures.
Keep an eye out for September's issue of White Dwarf for even more tantalising Skaven news!
