I actually really like the awesome huge models.

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.

Dark Elves got a plastic Dragon with rider, a new plastic Hydra/other weird beasty, and a huge Blood cauldron/khaine statue thing on wheels if I remember correctly, plus Wood Elves got the giant tree guy! Or did you mean End Times specifically?



I'll admit they lost an opportunity to do a plastic Avatar kit, and maybe an Orion kit.

I meant end times, the plastic dragon was ages ago, and Wood Elves dont have a plastic dragon, they could've done a dual/triple kit with Malekith, Imrik and the Sisters on a huge dragon.

Still that black dragon is pretty cool, still need to pick one up, as well as a hydra, manticore, and chimera...man, too many models, not enough time/money...

Finally got the images to load (in tiny form) on my phone.

1. Boneripper really does look amazing.
2. That gas mask head is hands down the better looking of the two.
3. Not sold on the warpstone fist things, but I guess that'll depend on what they actually do.
4. I hate myself for it, but I want those dice.

Spoiler:

It might be because they actually got royally screwed in the End Times books, DE ravaged from the North by Chaos hordes and daemons, HE having their entire continent lost under the sea, WE having their glades and ancient trees corrupted by chaos and being overrun by millions of beastmen, etc.

I did mean specifically for the End Times, and they actually didn't get "royally screwed" in any real sense when you look at how things have unfolded.

The three Elven races are now united in a single cause; if not a single vision.

To be fair, I've only just finished reading Nagash, but the little info I read about the elves beyond that book were vague spoilers on these forums.



I don't follow or collect any of the elf armies (except for some DE models for Warhammer Quest), but I do hope they keep all of the armies unique and separate in 9th edition...

Wouldn't be a proper leaked photo if the guy didn't look like was having a seizure while he took it.

Likewise. I might have to force myself to give a tenner to GW.

I don't think a single mixed dragon would have made sense with DE and HE having modern dragon plastic kits. I think adding a small sprue to make either Imrik or Malekith to both the HE and DE dragon would have been a neat idea.

I like the smokey fists. I wonder if you can do a combo - two guns, two fists?

I kind of doubt you can, but it does seem a bit overkilll with four of each (in typical Skaven fashion). My Skaven theme is Clan Septik, and I dig all of the plague stuff (furnace, censer bearers, plague priests/magic, etc), so I will likely go with the censer-fists, love the way the smoke comes out of them...I'd really love to see a plastic censer bearer kit overflowing with smokey censers!

I just hope he gets to actually shoot 4 warp fire thrower shots each turn.

With subsequent 4 exploding arms right?

And following the precedent of Bloab Rotspawned, the normal misfire chart will be used with no modifications.

You will be able to mix the arms up but you'll only be able to use the rules for one type.

Clan septik... I keep thinking about septic tanks filled with poo haha

Totally, they are sort of a thrall clan under Pestilens. The entomology was definitely made to make your mind go there. They pride themselves on wearing white robes/clothes so as to better show off their filth and diseased-nastiness. They all carry/wear rusty weapons/armor as well, rustier the better

So, Thanquol's rules are out. Six S6 WS4 attacks. T5 6 wounds.

How is he meant to be a super character again?

Warpfire Braziers are Okay. D3 wounds which can reroll all wounds(Including impact hits and stomps) But cannot benefit from multiple attacks.

A first photo (bad quality) of the rules for Thanquol and Boneripper from Rhellion on Twitter

Oops got ninja'ed by a minute

Oooh, I really like the Warpfire Braziers (S7 flaming, magical attacks that do d3 re-rollable wounds....and impact hits, and stomp, and toughness tests on models in base contact!)...and Wildly Off-target is better than blowing up...though generally bad if you have a nice expensive unit anywhere in his front arc and within 12"

That massive thing gets to be T5?

Oh GW...

I didn't see these in the front page yet. From 4chan:

Would have been cool to see a combo version with both guns and fists, but I'll be damned if I don't use the punchy version.

I could care less how many casualties I end up with, whether I win the game or not even, but the satisfaction of taking some big giant melee monster clear across the board to punch the lights out of whatever coveted unit my opponent has will never get old. Never.

Looking at how it's built, I wonder if Boneripper isn't some mutated rat ogre but is instead just a bag of rats like the Hellpit Abomination.

I think he a combination of lots of old bone rippers stitched together to create the ultimate bone ripper. Think I'm going to give it 2 of each weapon and just tell my opponent which I'm using at the start of the game.

looks like it will be super easy to magnetize (for those that are into that), since the arm all the way through the end of the bracer seems identical to both weapons.

I myself like the "two of each" method though.

From what I can make out, that staff doesn't work with Curse of the Horned Rat.

I'd like to say it's on purpose, but It's more likely they just forgot it's not a part of either the spells of ruin or spells of plague.

Look Bonerippers mechanical leg. I'm telling you, they are taking WHFB in a steampunk direction, to capitalize om Warmahordes success.

Meh 650 points for a T5 wizard. As if .the 650pt Verminlord wasn't bad enough.

Skaven have been steampunk longer than Warmahordes has existed.

Thanquol a heck of a lot more resilient. 8 wounds, 4+ ward, regains wounds on a 5+ each turn. The Warpseer is the only Verminlord that's comparable in cost to resilience.

Other way around. Fantasy technology has had a Steampunk aesthetic for longer than Warmachine has existed.
