I can see GW releasing a new carry case to coincide with this release, probably a rebranded Transit Van going by the size of that big bastard!

The Citadel FineVan™.

**Quarterdime**

This is particularly promising for me because it shows me that GW has what it takes to make 4 plastic Greater Daemons in one release.

The word hope isn't strong enough for this feeling.

Am I the only one tho thinks GW will make the redrawn Warhammer world more steampunk, after seeing Malifaux and Warmahordes success?

Yes, you are the only one. If whfb goes steampunk I'm out. Just like that.

Juggernauts have been in the game for how long now?

WFB has always had some steampunk involved, it just hasn't been a major theme.

If i start seeing random goggles on minatures that make no sense at all im done

or engineers with goggles on their goggles. That would finish my involvement

I wonder with this new huge release is the likelihood of the GUO character Gu'Gurrath appearing as a model release now less likely? I hope there is an option for a different head on this model.

**Wayniac**

I wonder if they rumors are true and they plan to make WHFB closer to a skirmish/smaller-scale game like Warmachine, or if they just plan to do a story reboot and keep it a large-scale game.

What rumors said it was going to be a skirmish game?

There were a few floating around that said they were going to rework WHFB to be smaller scale. Can't remember where I read it, might have been Warseer. It wasn't the typical Faeit crap.

Looking at the size of the latest releases...

...no, it won't become a skirmish game.

I had my doubts, mostly because that'd likely kill the game entirely. I wonder what they plan on doing then with End Times overall, just shake everything up, consolidate armies and the like?

It'd appear to be consolidation from the looks of things.

Which isn't really bad, imo. It could help out a few "problem cases" out there right now.. Beastmen in particular stand out. :x

My questions would be thus: Are they going to do it with -all- armies? If so, who the feth are Orcs & Goblins and Skaven going to get rolled in with? They don't make sense with -anyone-, not even eachother.

**Mr Morden**

They might do:

Elvish Kingdoms and then an expensive supplement and battle scrolls to make "proper" High, Dark and Wood Elves.........

That Glotkin model is purdy....Me likey.

**timetowaste85**

Seriously, I'm considering picking one up, just to paint it. Very impressive, GW. Nice work on this puppy. Online retailer, of course, shave as much as I can off the bill.

Perfect pictures! To bad no rules tho.

The base it is on is huge haha not a fan of the model tho.

**Savagecoyote**

My Daughter just wandered up to me as i was looking at a picture of the huge bugger and just said Wow ! for a 19 month old she has taste

**skullking**

From the inital pics of Glotkin I saw, I had no doubt that he'd be a double kit with a nice new great unclean one. But considering amongst all we've seen so far, there hasn't bee one pic of a model like that, I have to conclude that it's not going to happen. Although, I suppose, a sprue or two from Glottkin might be the basis for a new great unclean one kit. Here's hoping that's true, and we'll get the GUO, and all the other greater deamons soon.

**StormKing**

Here is some info on the new glotkin release

Glottkin:
-3 brothers, Ghurk (Beast), Ethrac (Sorcerer), Otto (Warlord)
-Biggest kit yet for all Chaos armies, might be bigger than Nagash
-2 head/hand options for Otto, aka helmeted/unhelmeted and holding a
severed head/his own entrails
-The brothers are NOT conjoined
-Fluff: As their parents, peaceful Norscan farmers,were murdered by
imperial troops, the three wanted to take revenge and took up their
respective equipment, aka Scythe and Wizardry/Healing. Mutating into a
giant-sized beast was just an addition for Ghurk.
-The 3 nails put through a lot of stuff as already seen on the Maggoth
Lords is the Glottkin's symbol
-They're Archaon's "scouts" and were sent to kill Karl Franz and destroy
Altdorf
-No rules in the WD for them, sadly

Chaos:
-Archaon still doesn't take action but rather sends Glottkin and Valkia to
do his dirty work in the Empire/Naggaroth

Empire:
-New High Patriarch is called GregorMartak
-Karl Franz is alive and has new rules in the Glottkin book, he's called
somehthing along the lines of "The ascended Karl Franz" and can resurrect
from the dead if killed in-game, though no word's given on how often. In
another fluff text, he's called the "Mightiest fighter of the Forces of
Light". Make of that what you wish.

Bretonnia:
-Louen Leoncoeur is alive! Yes you read that right. He lives and now serves
as a vassal to Gilles le Breton

Timline:
-The Glottkin book spans over half a year, from spring 2525, when Nagash is
awoken and sends out his Mortarch Vlad to help the Empire, up to autumn
2525 and concludes in the attack on Altdorf, which happens at about the
same time as the defeat of Settra at Nagash's hands and the downfall of
Nehekhara. Basically the stories of "ET: Glottkin" and "ET: Nagash" are
parallel.

"ET: Glottkin" contains rules for a new game style called "Streets of
Death" and includes rules for fighting in cities, e.g. Altdorf and
Marienburg. Manning barricades and destroying buildings are just 2 features
mentioned that come into play during the BatRep (which the Good Guys win
actually).

The Paint Splatter article doesn't give hints about next week, strangely.
The "What's Next" part, however, says "Atemgeräte an!", which translates
to "Turn on your respirators!", "Building a Legion of Chaos", and "Codex:
Apocryphes" (however this doesn't say anything at all).

**Platuan4th**

City Fight rules for Fantasy?

Pre-order just went from probably to definitely.

**Buttlerthepug**

Does that mean we're getting rules for Valkia? This just went from being a really "bleh Nurgle-only release," to a "still cant wait for the Archaon Book"

Was looking for a reason to buy more fantasy buildings...one big reason there

If true it makes the removal of the larger Empire terrain pieces (Fortified Manor) from the range that bit more strange, unless they plan to bring out a new wave of WHFB terrain pieces

**Kirasu**

I would think it would be prudent to see if "Streets of Death" (very creative naming..) is fun before going out and buying the book and buildings..

The rules might just suck, I mean look at how often cities of death, planet strike and others are played.

**Breotan**

There's always Mordheim.

Worth a look over on BoW. Rest of images spoilered, just thought I'd leave this one out as it gives us a good look at detail.

In that last picture that shows the Nurgle army, roughly how many points is all that together?
