From BoLS, the 4 'hidden' phrases from the GW website about this Endtimes releases

Across the Sea of Claws they will come, aboard rotten ships on foetid tides.

Three there will be: three armies, three lords, three brothers. Three cities will fall, three heroes will die.
(the Glotkin and more)


Beneath the greatest city of men the Gardener sows the seeds of despair.
(Altdorf but who's the Gardener?)

The twin-tailed comet blazes in the sky. A sign of hope, or a portent of despair, the augurs cannot say.
(I vote hope as GW is not going to can the setting entirely even if it is shaken up)

Twin Tailed Comet probably = Skaven.

Just because it has the word "tail" its skaven? Lizardmen have tails..and yeah that's the sign of Sigmar in either case.

Glad I managed to get my pre-order through for the regular book. That definitely sold out fast!

I think he is referring to the comet possibly coming from Mordhiem the giant warpstone moon....which means it could be a giant piece of warpstone and could be a signal of the coming of the Great Horned one.

Probably sigmar tho but as a skaven player I can sure hope for the next book to be skaven....the excitement!

So I'm a little confused. I know that no one has a very solid answer, but...

The blurb about the Glotkin book says this: It includes the rules for fielding the Glottkin, Maggoth Lords, Gutrot Spume and the Putrid Blightkings in your games of Warhammer. It also includes all-new rules for Karl Franz Ascendant (you will have to read the book to find out more...) and Festus Empowered.

In the next paragraph, it mentions the Legions of Chaos: The new army list, The Legions of Chaos, allows you to create a unified army of Chaos drawn from Warriors of Chaos, Daemons of Chaos and Beastmen. This means that this book has the whole unified Chaos Legions thing, right? I'm just trying to touch base here.


Also, if this is -seriously- only 500 books with no re-print.. I will facepalm so fething hard. That's like making only 500 copies of a fething no codex, 500 -normal- copies.

This will probably be the same as the Undead Legions army list that just listed which units and characters from the two undead books that you could use in a unified "Undead Legions" force. It didn't include all the rules and points for the units.

Relax guys, softcover versions are rumored, which seems very plausible.

rumored

Yeah, great. Just how long will it take for them? Half a year? One year?

They could at least mention it's limited.

I'm pretty sure its only 500 of the limited edition books.
The regular edition is still a "limited" release tho and you could maybe order from you flgs instead of online as they will probably have some in when they order

Who knows if they are actually making soft covers tho I don't get why they would unless UNLESS....once all the end times books are released they released one giant book for the fluff and I don't think they would do that with the rules but I have no idea

I really don't understand the limited release for the regular books.

I mean, Not being able to get the books puts me off from actually buying the models. It makes no sense.

I understand limited bundles, and limited editions... But the regular book being limited just boogles me. I mean, GW is probably loosing at least 500$ from me, maybe even more for simply no reason.

If, by saying FLGS, you also mean GW stores - they don't have it. It's website only for them. Not sure about others 2, as it's 2 books per order. Unless they can place multiple orders. Oh, the irony - official GW still has limited edition copies left, while regular ones are out of stock.

According to element games the glotkin book is a direct only exclusive as far as the uk is concerned.

Wasn't the same thing said about the Nagash book which proved false?

I think it is limit time only and if you,you miss out your out of luck. Nagash was out of stock and says no longer available not out of stock so... that usually means no more.

I hope they will do a reprint because everything was gone in pre-order. Many of us didn't have the time to log on GW website and order it.

Nagash is probably just sold out. A spectacular model like that was expected to sell out at some point right?
Im sure he will be back on the shelves soon again.

They are talking about the book, not the model.

ya all the books are marked as no longer available. :( I do have a copy thank god of both books. They do have the ipad version. I think this is a sign tho ladys and gents,

All books will be limited quantities, the rest will be bought through ipad only.

They charge the same amount and only have to upload their pdf or what ever format it is. Rather then print and ship and have overhead. DOOM

There's still books on the GW-Oz site.
No limited edition ones, but the regular ones are there

Eh, if GW insist on being stupid, I'll insist on keeping my money. Or I'll give them to FW, they don't seem to have an issue with HH books being unlimited. Would hope it would send a message, but we all know it's like spitting at a brick wall.

Edit: Just sent GW a mail asking when Glottkin and Nagash will be back in stock. Will see what they tell me

Totally agree with you, but the above statement is the mentality you're up against.

The softcover reprint of book 1 is 100% confirmed and happening.

Think it safe to assume that the same will happen for book 2.

Confirmed by who? Talk to me, reds8n! Talk to me!

GW sent emails to the store managers one... maybe two ... weeks ago informing them of such.

Which pleased a lot of them as some of those people missed out on the book as well.

I have no doubt that this will be PDF'd in 30secs lol. I think they do this Ltd print because they don't really want to have a backlog of this sort of thing in their warehouses. Still, you'd expect a bit more than the poxy numbers they've been rolling out

I have a feeling Bretonnia will play a big part. With this, hopefully new book, new models etc. Or is this wishful thinking??

Think nurgle is just hitting empire. So no brets

That is really good to know. I had not heard of this, so I am glad to hear it.

GW discovers advancing the plot can temporarily boost sales. Oh 40k fluff should be fun in the next few years.

Went yesterday to GW chelmsford to grab me some blightkings but no luck since it was out of stock, managed to get a Maggoth lord instead but looked like it was the last box on the shelf.

These things are selling fast.

I hope this boost the WFB footprint a bit.

BTW what a wonderfull kit the Maggoth lord is!

I admit, The End times stuff has really gotten my attention back into Fantasy.

The Undead Army, is just.. Awesome to say the least. If only I could get ahold of those damn books!
