Black Boxes with a Doomwheel and Clanrats will be in stores this week. There's an article on the topic on the GW website at this link (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/blogPost.jsp?aId=4700002a).

The new Skaven models are also available for Advance Order at this link (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/armySubUnitCats.jsp?catId=cat1350004&rootCatGameStyle=wh).

Not into buying this release with my current backlog of other models, but it's always interesting to see what's new. The new plastic Doomwheel might be useful for some type of Chaos construct or conversion.

The New Doomwheel looks rad...

Clanrats with 20 DIFFERENT bodies, 20 DIFFERENT shields, and 20 DIFFERENT Spear arms?!!

Also worth noting...Packmaster Skweel Gnawtooth is listed under the core section...unit upgrade perhaps?

I hope that is the trend for future releases.

Deathmaster Snitch looks amazing!

Damn it, I was going to hold out buying some of these Skaven until I finished my Vampire Counts but wow, they are awesome!

I just may have to get back into fantasy now. The last time I played it was fourth edition.

Looks amazing. I always wanted to start a skaven army. (I do have a skeven blood bowl team that is pretty cool). This will have to wait till Space wolves are finished though.

My feel is that it will be. I'm really happy to see sprues with this sort of variety.

Packmasters go into: Giant Rats, Rat Ogres, Slave units. Therefore, CORE.

Rat Ogres are Not Core Looked at the Book Today
Stormvermin are core

Clan rats come with HW and sheilds cost .5 Point yes Half a Point as Do Spears. Base cost is 4 pts
Stormvermin at 7 Pts
Slaves are 2pts with Shield at .5pts

Hell Pit abomination looks cool

Has a Plague Furnace, Screaming Bell and Plagueclaw Catapult and the Rating Guns are not Autohit but rules are still the same

Only Slaves can be shot into no more life is cheap with Clan Rats

I can't wait to see what the new Fantasy division of Forge World comes out with. I'm hoping for an excellent Hell Pit Abomination.

I have always wanted to do a skaven army and get back into fantasy. Now is the time it seems. Bye Bye bank balance :(
