Those got leaked a fair few months ago. They were sold at an event they shouldn't have been. Still wondering when and what they're actually for as they must be sitting in the warehouse.

There's a few, like the Weapon Teams, where GW could just make 2 rats in plastic and then have a bunch of attachments for weapons and backpacks and cover the whole 4 or so options in one plastic kit. Although I kind of got the feeling they were "supposed" to be replaced with the Stormvermin, with just the mortar weapon team hanging on; but that never quite happened.
A new plastic kit for ogres, giant rats and handlers would be neat considering those are some of the oldest plastics GW sells at present.
But yeah the Skaven have a LOT of models needing updates.

New edition box:
26 new stormcast models.
One center piece
2 Hero's
3 Elites,
2 Unit's of ten warriors
Skaven:
Eshin Master Assassin
2 Hero's
20 new Gutter Runners
3 Rat Ogres
2 Weapons Teams
10 Giant Rats
64 model total and the usual launch paraphernalia.
Skaven not reallv blessed with numbers. Interesing unit sizes would change. Old model owners "happy".
Not list of models i would have hoped for update though more would come.
Meh, I'm not really interested in an Eshin-themed refresh. Skryre and Pestilens are the most well developed of the skaven factions - Pestilens doesn't have many options, and half of Skryres options are metal/finecast or unavailable. Id rather they focused on rounding out Pestilens and releasing resculpts of Skryre stuff then putting out new kits for Eshin/Moulder. In general that box kinda sucks if you are an existing Skaven player that once to stick to a specific clan/theme -theres not much in it for you if you're a Pestilens/Skryre player (the weapons teams give me pause, but we'll see...) and if you weren't interested in Moulder/Eshin then the box is basically a waste.

Well assuming any of this is real, this is the Skavens big redo and i would expect focus on all clans. The supposed launch box feels more like a mix of all the possible clans in one form or another. Also original rumour post.

I like it. Well, not the face. Maybe if you hit it with a shovel a couple of times, that fixes it. But the rest is pretty cool.
She looks interesting in terms of proportions, too. GW has a few models that stray away from their usual heroic proportions. This one looks to be a pronounced example of that.
Also that's a really nice pet snek.
So, shut up and take my money?
Nehekhara lives! Sort of!
