Well, this promises to be a wild story! And some wild games.

Just gotta watch GWs site like a hawk and get it ordered before it sells out!

And on the topic of Dragons, I think the Dragon for the Lord of the Rings game made by GW is pretty nifty. Its simple and a pretty vanilla dragon, as far as they go, but I always liked it.

**ImAGeek**

And why have they not made any new models, halfway through a series which so far has had awesome new models? Why do GW have this innate ability to take what should be a good thing and somehow completely mess it up.

**CthuluIsSpy**

Perhaps we just haven't seen them yet?
This is an early leak.

So there is going to be a combined Elves list in this book? What is the pre order date? Because if it's before I get paid I'm gonna miss out on this due to their stupid 'let's make these books that are selling really well limited edition' policy.

It'll be 22nd November 2014 and hit shelves on the 29th.

They'd be on the cover of WD, like all the others. And Malekith is the model they would do, surely.

If it's the 22nd I'm gonna miss that then.

**shade1313**

I quite like the current Dark Elves Dreadlord/Sorceress dragon. Of the old type designs, the Forest dragon was pretty good. Bud I cannot stand either the old Beastlord Rakarth dragon or the Malekith dragon. Ick.

**Rainbow Dash**

Well I play goblins and dwarves... a race that dicks around doing whatever it wants and a race who hides from everyone.

Somehow I feel the endtimes aren't gonna touch them much (especially the goblins)

Thanks to L.E. for finding this one.

End Times: Khaine information.

"Right I've had a bit of a read through the White Dwarf and I can make out the following regarding End Times spells:
In a game set during the End Times, Wizards of Level 3 or higher know End Times spells in addition to the other spells that they know. Each different End Times spell can be cast only once per Magic phase and "cannot be dispelled if successfully cast" (see page 8).

Most End Times spells are extensions of existing Lores of Magic and benefit from the lore attribute of their parent lore in the usual way. Any Wizard who knows the lore in question will also know any End Times spells associated with that lore.

Some End Times spells are not associated with any lore (for example, Conjure Arcane Fulcrum - on page 10). These spells can be used by any wizard, unless they state otherwise.

Battle Magic: End Times consists of 22 cards so it would seem that there are quite a few spells.

Also, it's stated in WD that Tyrion draws the Widowmaker, not Malekith.

There's a picture of Malekith, Teclis and the Everqueen at the head of a combined Asur, Asrai and Druchii army. This is 'The Host of the Phoenix King' list.

Malekith is stated as being the sole claimant to the Phoenix Crown and there's a suggestion that Tyrion might actually be the bad guy."

Hold on there.

Khaine is War. So we're 3 for 3 for the actual Horsemen of the Apocalypse analogues. This leaves Famine. Does this mean the last End Times release will be Ogre based? That would be epic.

I could see Skaven fitting also, but meh.

Khaine is MURDER, Khorne is WAR.

**Megatronlolol**

I wonder, what role will Wood Elves have in all of this...

**chaos0xomega**

They unite with other elves to support the true Phoenix King, i.e. Malekith

My guess is that they didnt do a resculpt of Malekith because he loses... or at least doesnt survive.

**Megatronlolol**

Meh. I was kinda grinding the idea of them chilling in their forest, not giving a damn about all those "nagashes", "glottkins", "uber karls" and "malekiths".

**StormKing**

Here we go guys a little something special for everyone. Leaked images of the parts of white dwarf!!!

**nels1031**

Pretty intense stuff!

Love it!

Now I want book 4 before christmas!

**Triple_double_U**

This book is going to be amazing!

Who does Alith Anar shoot?
Tyrion who is mad from the sword?
Malekith?
Morathi?

I have a feeling it will sell out very quickly

**Kirasu**

So Tyrion is now an Avatar of Khaine? Sweet maybe I can use him as a Battle Brother ally in 40k with Eldar!

**chaos0xomega**

Doesnt that have some, errr.... interesting implications for things? Given that the Dark Elves, at least in part, worship Khaine, and Tyrion is now, evidently, the living embodiement of Khaine... does that mean that the Aestyrion have access to things like Wyches, Blood Cauldrons, etc?

From the look of things, the three armies are mashed together and torn apart again, so Khainite stuff going with the avatar of khaine makes sense.

**chaos0xomega**

Well, should be interesting, I await with bated breath.

The one thing that I'm wondering though is if the next edition is post end times, and the 'survivors' list is made up of a limited smattering of units from each book... what happens to everything that doesn't survive? Is it getting 'squatted'? I mean, presumably they won't be keeping Malekith and Tyrions forces around at that point, right?

**plastictrees**

It was all a dream!

**reds8n**

Blimey eh !

**Fireball**

It were the characters of Tyrion and Teclis that got me interested in Warhammer two decades ago. I do not know what I should think about this fluff ... I definitely do not like my hero Tyrion being the villain here.

**Iracundus**

I have always seen Tyrion and Teclis as GW's version of the Dragonlance characters Caramon and Raistlin (i.e. twins, with one a mighty warrior and the other a sickly but powerful mage).

Pure speculation here, but I suspect the arrow Alith Anar looses will be at Tyrion at the very end after he kills Malekith, and it will kill him and bring the conflict to a halt. Alternatively, maybe it is directed at Malekith after he kills Tyrion and similarly ends everything.

**chaos0xomega**

To be fair, Tyrion, and the High Elves as a whole, never really were good guys... If you actually read the fluff you see that they, much like the Dark and Wood Elves, are actually petty, brutal, and treachorous xenophobes

**angelofvengeance**

Looks like some serious violence going on in Ulthuan.

I dont think Tyrion or Malekith will survive. I'm thinking that events will culminate with the surviving elves swearing fealty to the Everqueen and abandoning the concept of the Phoenix King entirely. IEither that or Darkblade somehow steals the show...

My guess is that the referenced 'rescue attempt' to the Chaos Wastes is to either retrieve Darkblade or to retrieve Morathi. If Darkblade, through some twist of fate it turns out he's the offspring of Malekiths older brother (and therefore a legitimate heir to the Phoenix Crown). If its Morathi, my guess ist hat we discover that she was involved with the flames burning Malekith for whatever reason and she gets offed for her treachery (thus removing any potential dark counterpart to the Everqueen from the picture to prevent there being a dissident faction of Elves).

Urgh.. I hate this.
I disliked the idea of Vampire Counts and Tomb Kings working together.

I HATE the idea of the Elves working together. Not only does the studio army look stupidly random on the pictures, there is no way whatsoever to convince me of the fluff background making any sense.

The distinction between the different races of Elves has been one of THE fundamental aspects of the Warhammer world.

For a stupid money grab they throw it over board..

I hate this.

See, I'm the opposite. I've literally just started collecting a Dark Elf army, I was trying to think of some fluff reasons why I'd start collecting a Wood Elf army, too. Wood Elves have dark elements that I quite like exploring, so this announcement from GW is quite good for me!
