The Nagash army book or the novel?

Not the novel, the actual End Times: Nagash book.

**Hulksmash**

So this is up. I haven't exactly been keeping up with things but uh.. did Ulthuan sink?

Yes sir, Valkia basically sieged and destroyed the mainstay dark elf city, and the events of End Times Khaine culminate in Ulthuan sinking below the waves.

The survivors of the three elven nations are now all living in Athel Loren.

If you're saying "WTF", that's an appropriate response, but it plays out pretty cool in the book.

**StormKing**

Well that was a crappy teaser haha hopefully the preorders go up asap I'm so stoked for this book and the new models!

**silent25**

More pictures from the latest WD with all the alternative builds. Think the cover one is the weakest.

Shame that the poses are a bit samey, not that it wasn't expected but the amount of customization in terms of weapons and headpieces is really, really nice!

Also that throwing star/boomerang looks ace!

**ImAGeek**

Okay yeah I'm doing Skaven. They're incredible. Love the Skullface one and the Eshin one particularly.

Glad to see they can have a rock to stand on.

Though honestly its a bit to... humaneee.. i like the FW one better.

**Kanluwen**

I love the Eshin Verminlord...

**NAVARRO**

Wow really nice options!

**Flashman**

Oh thank god for the rock

Liking Skullface the best

**Platuan4th**

So, anyone know what time on Friday preorders tend to go up in the US?

Not that I plan on waiting by my computer with my credit card out and ready, nosiree...

**Fango**

Im assuming they are themed on the clans? Eshin, Moulder, etc... Which one is Pestilens?

Guessing the Skull faced one.

Looking forward to this, and building a Clan Eshin one to go with the rest of the Clan of the Drowned Rat!

Thanks, Kan.

I'm liking the head of these two:

I like the weapon choices and how the horns don't all look the same because the first one had a little too much horns for my taste.

Not sure about the hair on that second PIC but nothing a little bit of clipping couldn't change.

Wow just looked at how bad the feet look on these models....not a fan of those 2 claws

**Platuan4th**

I think they're trying to evoke the cloven hooves of the original model whilst still having claws like rats.

**Dez**

I can see myself greenstuffing over those, I also am feeling like the skull head is the best. While my Clan is Eshin themed, all my Gutter Runners have skulls painted over their faces so it wouldn't be too far a stretch to use it (thematically).

**catharsix**

Has there been a price point leaked for the Great Rat mix kit? I'm afraid to ask because I want one, and whenever that happens I'm always hugely disappointed by the sticker shock...

The base size and variety of options makes me think he'll be $76-$80(Maggoth Lord price range) rather than $100+(Nagash+Glottkin price range).

I could be entirely wrong though.

**Fango**

Yeah, I'm guessing $100+, right up there with Glotkin and Nagash.

**catharsix**

I fear $100+, or around what Naggy was. But I can hope for a more reasonable price! (Can't I?)

**Vash108**

These guys look pretty awesome. I really need to get back and finish my Fantasy army. I miss playing it.

**ImAGeek**

They are like as tall as Nagash, and I don't think Nagash is TOO expensive for his size.

Definitely. The brown robe over green armor makes it, given the Plague Monks wear dirty brown/green habits.

The Clan Mors (Red) one looks pretty amazing also.
