Shadespire skaven team most likely.

Could be AoS, could be that new Hex Game the name of which presently escapes me...

Warhammer: Underworlds - Shadespire .

Hoping for skaven.
Currently dislike the idea of having to sell an organ to buy a unit of jezzails and globadiers (Sorry, "acolytes")

Anything along those lines would be nice!

Huh good point. I think it is to disguise the different colours of the surface the skaven is riding. It seems like some sort of "rails" so to speak.

Clan Skyre have already been rumoured for this year by (IIRC) Hastings.

Why must GW take my money? If it's just a simple beastclaw raiders update to them I can pass since I don't like a large chunk of the skaven minature range (even if they look cool as heck in games and have good lore).

If it's a full mini-army release like Kharadron Overlords I'm going to be much more tempted. AoS could possibly be hitting it out of the park one army after another for me this year. What next a new sepharon range?

Edit
Just looked up Skyre current range and it's most of the models I like. *sigh* Why must you do this GW. So Kharadron, Clan Skyrre, and possibly new dark ealfs (whateber they called). Basically all my fav old hammer factions. All I need now is a new lizardmen range to compliment the good existing one and I'll be set for AoS collecting for years. What then GW? Fishmen themed to bioshock? New version of Ogor Kingdoms?

That's what I'm hoping bottle

Although it's been somewhat confirmed, we don't know what units are getting redone.

I don't usually have issues with pricing, but both jezzails and globadiers are a joke for the price.

Skyre should get to go full steampunk. Not fair the dwarfs got to, as the rats did it first!

If the Skysquats turned the steam dial to 10, let the rats turn it to 13.

Mechanical limbs and bits every which way!

Multipart engineers!

Tunneling machines!

Outlandish firearms!

Thumbs up to all these ideas!

I wanna see a smaller version of one of those Parasite Engines!

Wild Wild West Spider limbed mechanical mutant giant with various rats scurrying over it and zapping everyone with loads of warp-lightning cannons!

Give the Ironclad a run for its money.

Skryre are already full steampunk, since they are the steampunk faction of Skaven split off on their own. Further, we already have the second two things.on the list! What Skryre really needs is plastic jezzails and a dual-build infantry kit for globadiers and a new unit. I'm also expecting a $25 kit that builds two weapon teams; a wft/ratling model and a mortar/grinder model.

why not Space Rats?

40K-VEN!

Thank you.
Thank you all.

At least we've got the Veer-myn to help with those needs.

I'll consider clan Skyre to be fully steampunk when I see fully steampunk Skyre kits on the shelves that aren't just war machines. Outside of old Pestilens and Ehsin kits we really don't have much in the way clan specific battle line Skaven.

Man my kingdom for plastic jezzels

Apparently a "big news" announcement tomorrow at 1400 UK time.

Probably just generals handbook 2.

Does it have anything to do with this?

Before youse start panicking, that's just the current Skeleton kit, with round bases and a new box. The price is unchanged.

New Skeles box means there is a ne3w release of death stuff, even if that means just reboxes

A shame. They could have put them at 20 per 30€ like saurus warriors, and then 24 for 30€ like Skinks for zombies.

We need new zombies first, the current ones are woefully outdated.

they were outdated before they were released.

Are they still using the late 90's zombies? Wow...yep. Jesus those are old, and they were crap when they came out...

Those arms.. so flimsy! Those hands.. so massive!

Still, as much as I want to see them replaced, they hold a special place in my collection.

Wait a minute... The top says "Revenant Legions". What could that mean?

Skeletons and zombies most likely.

maybe re-naming "skeleton warriors" to "revenant legions"? like orruks, ogors, aelfs, etc...

*edit - eh, nope, never mind my blathering, I just saw the front of that box, still skeleton warriors

I've actually seen a couple Skaven pieces of art with my own eyes, so whether its soon, or later, I know there is stuff coming. I also couldn't tell you if they were character models, or just dynamic poses, but my inclination is that what I saw was for Shadespire.

Hopefully it means a re-name to 'Deathrattle' and 'Deadwalker' factions. I cringe every time I read the latter.
