Ooh, the plague censer looking version of boneripper is quite cool! And I love Thanquol.

Quoting the images over due to page rollover:

Thanquol and Boneripper is £47, €61 and $77.
The book £45, €60 and (corrected) $74.25
And some cool Skaven dice 10 for £10, €13 and $17.

Boneripper looks fantastic. I'd prefer the model to be clawed, rather than with weapon appendages, however it's still a great model. As others have pointed out, it looks suitably Frankenstein-like, as any clan moulder creation should be.

I'm not a fan of Thanquol's warpstone horns though. They look silly.

Whoa. The gas mask is boss.

I think Thanquol is kind of fed up of his Rat ogre bodyguards getting chopped up all the time, hence this steroid-ed up version. I also think he's been seriously abusing the warp snuff which may have caused his horns to mutate a little lol.

Ouch, $90 US seems high....Especially based on 45 pounds....

Oh well, getting it

Not a bad price for Tank-quol I think.

He looks awesome with the Braziers! That gas mask is all kinds of cool. I really like Thanquol too, warp stone horns included.

This whole release is everything I love about Skaven, and then I remember how many models I'd need... I'm still not sure if I want to take the plunge.

Felwether corrected him, it is

$90 CAD.

The book is $74.25 USD.

and also posted about the size of the kit

Based on the back of WD it seems to be about the same size as an Abomination.

That must be a mistake, seeing as it's more expensive in $ than the model, but cheaper in both other currencies. How much were Khaine and Glotkin in $? It should be the same as them (they were both £45 in hardback IIRC).

Ninja'd.

Oooo Those dice are cute.

Cant wait to see the rules on that thing.

Am I the only person going nuts wanting to know what other armies are going to be in this book besides skaven? I was really hoping they were going to drop some hints in the white dwarf, but NOPE. Nothing in the teaser either.

Its only going to be skaven, no combined forces list like the other books.

If you mean story wise, I'd say lizardmen, empire, little bit of dwarves. That's what's rumoured but I'm not sure

I think Dwarves might feature quite a bit since the Skaven are trying like hell to kill them all.

Really like it. Time to start that Skaven army I've been meaning to do forever. End Times has really brought the fun back to WHFB for me!

It....is....magnificent.

Isn't Thanquel supposed to be super old? He looks nothing like the older ones... It's a completely new character in my eyes

Can anyone rehost those on Dakka? Work blocked :(

Color me impressed...though I don't have the disposable income to get both him and the book....looks like the model will have to wait. I'm super excited to read the fluff part of this End Times book. I just finished Return of Nagash, and really loved how the author wrote the dialogue for the Clan Mordkin chieftain featured in the Skaven bits.

He was described as super old in one or two of the recent Gotrek and Felix novels, but I'm sure that can be easily retconned, like the Chaos Lord that Gotrek killed way back, and it was changed to the warlord being one of Archaon's vanguard, thereby bringing that story closer to "modern" times, as far as Warhammer is concerned.

Or magic!

No, unfortunately, that arm is definitely the arm of the IoB Rat Ogre sculpt with both fists on the ground.


Edit: Fingers still crossed though

Anyone? I tried tethering my phone to my tablet, but my phone is a P.O.S. and I can't get anything.

Archibald_TK has posted more about the availability of the ET: Thanquol book; and the ET story compilation in the next White Dwarf (on Warseer)

Ok guys two things I'd like to talk about:

- First, it may depend on your country or your shop size or whatever, but at least here not only are the books NOT Direct Only, but I was told there would be no problem getting 10 as usual.

- Second, and that's the interesting thing that I'm sure will make everyone react in a way or another.
I was rereading the chronology of ET in the WD (and as I expected there were some Skaven action that I missed at early dates, also know that the battle of Altdorf, Itza, Middenheim, Karaz-a-Karak all happen after Ultuan sinks. So KF didn't receive his power at the same time the Vortex collapsed). On the pages you can see some prophecies from the ET books, and at the end one from the Thanquol book... and that is the interesting one. This is basically what is says:

SPOILER

Morrslieb or whatever that moon is called will fall, oceans will boil, mountains will shatter, some will go away into the stars and that world will be abandoned

Enjoy

Dice are hella cool. Gonna buy them and use them for Nurgle Warriors.

I'm getting a bit fed up with these over-sized models.
All of them could have been done at 50% the size & still look great, be able to transport them without having to resort to buying an ice hockey kit bag & be more affordable (IMO).

Boneripper is way too big. He's probably S5 T5 W4 as well....

That is the key though...they can charge a bunch more for a 'large model kit' I'm sure the tooling price difference is negligible compared to the profits they can make on the model selling it for $70+ instead of $35-$40 for a 'smaller' one. There is this same trend in 40k as well with the Flyer's currently, as well as things like Wraith Knights, Imperial Knights, Morkanauts, ect.

Edit: I totally agree with you, if it wasn't clear, that it's getting a little out of hand, especially on the storage/transportation issue. It's kind of cool to have a centerpiece model, but now my Skaven army has a Plague Furnace, a Screaming Bell, a Doomwheel, 2 Warp Lightning Cannons/Plague Claw Catapults, 2 HPAs. and soon to be a Vermin Lord and a Huge Thankquol/Boneripper model....granted, the Vermin Lord and Thanquol likley wont be on the board at the same time, but still, Buying Battlefoam trays and bags for all of that? That's just nuts! Not to mention the oodles and oodles of slaves, clanrats, giant rats, and plague monks...Right now its on a tray and in a flat rate post box...

They finally left the 80s cooky internet is a fad age and now hit the 90s bigger is better fad. (not actually sure if this is accurate though i recall a lot of super size and super mega big gulps back then )

I actually really like the awesome huge models. Monsters are what I love about the game so the big huge monster kits are awesome in my opinion.

Agreed!

It's why I was so disappointed that my Dark, High, and Wood Elves didn't get anything but new profiles for models older than my brother.

Yeah me too. An awesome big dragon would've been very welcome.

At this point, I think you guys are just taunting me. ;_;
