Some intel on the upcoming release, including story, and model releases: Skaven background will focus on an invasion of Lustria and inlcude a lot of information on Lizardmen and “the plan” as well. While the book will be Skaven focused, it will still have a heavy Lizardmen flavor as the main plot lines focus around them. It will also discuss the “Great Ascendancy” which will include the horned rat and the rise of the Skaven to the surface to enslave all of mankind (or attempt to). The true roots of Skaven will also be discussed. It will also cover Skaven happenings around the warhammer world, including the Dwarfs, the Chaos Invasion and the return of Nagash and how the rats fit into the whole picture. The Skaven are not too keen on the whole end of times motif for the obvious negative effects it will have on their survival...so as usual they plot and scheme to ensure that their best interests are served in the end with others doing their dirty work. Not to play spoiler, but it sounds as though they will play a pivotal role in undoing the nefarious plans of the dark powers. There will be new models accompanying the release to include: New Vermin Lord (Horned Rat) BIG Kit.... Lord Skrolk Lord Nurglitch Grey Seer Thanquol and Bone Ripper Grey Seer on Foot Rat Ogres Dual kit with Poisoned Wind Globadiers and Plague Censer Bearers Taken from: warhammer.org.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=126883 |

It would be awesome if they released a new Skaven book alongside the ET book, or updated their list significantly in their ET book release. Considering how close 9th is estimated to be I am just worried that if they make it compatible with the old book it will hamstring them when considering what to change to keep it consistent with their ET rules.

from Faeit... looks like end times 4 is coming January and is skaven!
"Of course Skaven are expected for the Endtimes 4 book release, and recent rumors have put promotion material arriving at stores as we speak. So it was only a matter of time before we got wind of what some of that might look like. Lets see what is being said......
Please remember that these are rumors, and early reports. I am assuming the cover of White Dwarf #49 is what they saw in the promotion material, not this week's.

We saw the new cover art for endtimes 4. It's rat caster riding some Monster with a cannon. (Sorry not to familiar with skaven)The new white dwarf has new skaven monsterous creature as the front covers but that's all i saw.
via another anonymous source on Faeit 212
Plastic Vermin Lord to make 5 different kits in white dwarf 49.
white dwarf 2 weeks from now will feature the release of a plastic
vermin lord kit, will make 5 alternate models with different themes. 1
Eshin, 1 Grey Seer, 1 Warlord, 1 Moulder and one supposed "Vermin King".
Eshin one can be skitterleapt and gets re-rolls to cast skitterleap, grey
seer one always gets 6 on the d6+1 part of warp lightning casts. No further
information about the others or point costs, but alledgedly he's going to
be about the same dimesnsions as Nagash. "

more from Faeit: "There are leaked images up now showing off the next week's White Dwarf cover and the massive Verminlord, which is apparently one of 5 different builds from the Verminlord kit, according to this mornings rumors. Definitely check these out.... oh yea, all these rumors are very solid. Please remember that the information here is very solid, but are still rumors until an official release or showing. Here is a link to the pics where you can see the cover of White Dwarf 49, along with an image of what is going on inside. www.facebook.com/outofthebasementintothestreets/photos/pcb.277529705704652/277529659037990/?type=1&theaterastropate.blogspot.com/descansodelescriba.blogspot.com/Here is also a link to the rumors from earlier this morning. Very solid rumors. natfka.blogspot.com/2014/12/cover-of-end-times-4-seen-its-skaven.htmlvia an anonymous source on Faeit 212 Verminlord Deceiver is one of the builds from the new kit. He is a level 4 wizard that must have Skitterleap as one of his spells. Crazy number of rules. Immunie to psychology, terror, scurry away, large target. He has a 5+ ward save, is a Rat Daemon with Daemonic Attacks, which makes all his attacks magical. He can re-roll casting for skitterleap and all shooting attacks against him are at a -1. he has a stiletto that is armour piercing and poisoned and a ranged weapon 12" that has poisoned attacks, quick to fire, and arced attacks, meaning he gets as many shots as what is in the first rank of the unit being targetted. Im sure you have seen the pictures by now, but he is huge with 6 wounds and a toughness of 6. Definitely crazy." |

It looks like there will be changes made to magic again since it says one of his spells must be skitter leap, if they were a lore master they would already know the spell.
