Skaven Rumours

[Veldemere]

There are meant to be a good few new metal sculpts, and most of the SC's will have older models already, ie Throt, Dude on rat bod, Squeek etc...

Yes, but that still means the efort of short production run castings and more stock for their shops to run out of and annoy customers!

The sculpts can be used as normal heroes though, there are only a few good ones in the current crop.
With the amount of current Skaven players desperate for some new metals and the amount of new players that will buy the army (cause it's going to be good), GW will certainly make their money back on the new sculpts..

More goss:

Back to Skaven rumours anyway, Nov release, old piece of engineering returns as well as a new plastic kit that makes one existing model plus a new machine  also 99% sure no Verminlord  speculate away!

Any chance of the source? How reliable is this?

Fair enough then!

Maybe when you see page 9 of next months WD you won't find it so hard to believe, pics of 3 plastic clanrats ;)

Also I can confirm Warp Lightning cannon remains as current model.

Good news on that front..

Let's not forget that it is only August and Skaven aren't released until November so GW still need to showcase SW etc.

Not so good news, so maybe late October for advance order packs etc..
So that means we won't see new skaven at the GT's then...

so.........

the screaming bell look amazing painted.

the rat ogres failing there ld test after the handlers (died?) remind me of the CSM dread going crazy.

A usually reliable US source, Rat ogres going to have some attack who ever is nearest effect if and when the handlers die..?

Sneak peek from next months WD



I think they look really good, maybe too good for an horde army (in terms of painting them)
But at least they will rank up now...

mine rank up....

If by 'rank' you mean 'pile'

Exactly, what's worse I made mine with super glue, back in the day, so they all fall apart constantly.....

Whole lot in bin as soon as new figures come out...
