New Skaven models?? Any rumors/pics??

[starslayer]

High Elves just got new plastic sets. (Phoenix guard, Dragon Princes,White Lions)
Stands to reason Skaven will be next.

Any pics or reliable info??

Check warseer. I remember the hellpit abomination and tretch craventail were supposed to be pretty sure things.

[starslayer]

I ahvent found anything decent or reliable. I saw some old rumors that I saw before. I was hoping something new would have surfaced. Like a Bonebreaker or Plague catapult...

[starslayer]

Nothing yet?? After the new High Elves I thought Skaven would get some next.

Ask, and ye shall receive...

Receive what? That gave absolutely no help.....but thanks!

I don't know about you, but I received an Incoming! Skaven e-mail that told me absolutely nothing. The kits it talks about are Island of Blood, Stormvermin and the Doomwheel, it mentions a worldwide IoB event this Saturday, and pushes some Black Library novels. No mention of any new models.

It would make sense, though. The High Elves haven't had new kits in years. Sure, they got a chariot, a dragon and hero kits when the new book hit, but everything else stayed exactly the same, with all of their Special choices (which are the best units in the army) remaining metal. Skaven don't have nearly as much metal. Off the top of my head, the only things I can think of are jezzails, weapon teams (minus the ones in IoB) and censer bearers. Sure, they could use a Hellpit kit, but don't you think poor old Beastmen deserve a monster kit first?

You wanted reliable info, I think this qualifies. No solid idea on models, but at least you know when. I thought the video was cool though...

From Oaflord's link http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/conte ... =12500033a

In January 2011, advancing boldly in the wake of the new High Elf releases in October and the gob-smacking contents of The Island of Blood in September come a new litter of reinforcements for the Skaven, including a host of new models. Details are being kept firmly under wraps by the dreaded Council of Thirteen, but expect some fantastic new miniatures from the talented hands of the Citadel miniatures designers.

[starslayer]

Yeah, I saw all that- it tells you nothing. What models? Pics?

Breaking News!! Skaven in January!
(yeah, I knew that.)

Thanks for the help though. Was just hoping for more...like the Dark Eldar had!

Think about it SS, we didn't even see any new mini pics for the DE until just before GD UK. So you'll probably not see any new Skaven pics until December. GW has gotten better at keeping it's secrets.

[starslayer]

Oh well......I thought something would have got out. Look at the Dark Eldar!!

Thanks everyone!!

Actually, prior to GDUK, there was only a couple pics of the DE; and they weren't that good.
