I saw this on spiky bits earlier this evening and was wondering if anyone knew what it meant?
'The end times are coming.Dec 9th'
Which is tonight.
Thoughts?

**Swastakowey**

Closing down sale. Clearly.

**AllSeeingSkink**

Does it mean you're a year late for the Warhammer Fantasy Battle "The End Times" campaign? The campaign that ended WHFB and heralded Age of Sigmar?

**Slipstream**

Could possibly be so,Allseeing Skink! You are all seeing so you may well be right!

**Necros**

They're updating 40k to the Age of Sigmar rules? 40k already has round bases, so it's easy!

I checked the website. Apparently it was an email that got sent out recently.

Might be for the End Times softcover bundle. Or somebody at GW sent the wrong mass email.

It'd be pretty odd to have the End Times come... again.

Age of the Star Child! Where Space Marines are in ranked masses!

Yaaaayyyyy

Tyranids won

All has been consumed

**Slipstream**

Could be the end times are coming again.Y'know,just to make sure we got the message the first time!

**Beer_&_Bolters**

Im guessing it means Deathwatch, Genestealer Cults, half-life 3, SoB's, and Exodites all confirmed.

I truly think the four horsemen would ride in it.

4-pack bundle of plastic Thunderhawks that actually saves you money, with free iconography for each horseman.

Arachon is the lord of the end times and just got a new model.

It's for a collection of the End Times novels, without the rules. For £100/$165:

Did you miss out on the exciting events that led up to the demise of the old World, and the dramatic, apocalyptic, cataclysmic narrative that changed everything forever? Fear not - here's an opportunity to grab all five softback narrative books that made up the End Times - Volume I, Nagash; Volume II, Glottkin; Volume III, Khaine; Volume IV; Thanquol and Volume V, Archaon - in one package, and savour the story for yourself.

Please note, this is a set of narrative books only, and no rules content is included.

Ouch!

I'd totally bought one of these, at half the price, with a 20% discount (£40).

"Softback narrative books"??? You mean novels?

Good grief... £100...

Mental. Just mental.

No, novels would imply they had a plot. Which GW has clearly lost.

They weren't the novels.

It's the "fluff" portion of the campaign book packs.
Nagash alone was as big if not bigger than Codex: Eldar or Space Marines.

**Rainbow Dash**

Jeez I wish I could write some half assed novels and get that much for them.

**Azreal13**

You can, just make them about spanking people on the bottom and somesuch.

Or sparkling vampires
or both!

**Azreal13**

Sparkling, billionaire vampires spanking people's bottoms!

Practically writes itself!

It does indeed. Title could be something like ' 50 spanks of sparkling vampire bottoms'. Would also work with the follow up book titled, 'New Moon'

You could say that it would be an instant hit....
