End Times Rumor Roundup

That would be... weird.

The guy doing the leaks says he just realized there are Magic Cards releasing with the book?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Ace, I love a good bit of Magic.

DFK, but I'm getting it all anyway so meh

Reckon we will get models - maybe not straight off like, but we will.

edit: They talk about the lists in the magazine: There is the host of the phoenix king which seems to be a combined asur, asrai, druchii army under malekith and teclis and the aestyrion, who are loyal to tyrion.

There is a third list mentioned but no details given other than: "in warhammer: Khaine there is, once and for all, an absolute winner in the war for the phoenix crown. The third army represents the elves that survive."

Woah. So Malekith and Teclis were the ones teaming up, and the Wood Elves decide to join them? Tyrion is the one rebelling against them? What the!?

I'm....wow. It sounds like the Caledor rebels are the ones that join Malekith (as set up in the first End Times book) and the Asur loyalists are the ones that follow Tyrion. I'm guessing "The Host of the Phoenix King" isn't literal seeing as the Phoenix Guard bowed to Tyrion, I'm really confused.

I hope Tyrion wins, I do detest Malekith.

And Teclis for that matter.

I think Tyrion HAS to be the Eternity King.

1) The Phoenix Guard bow to him in End Times: Nagash.

2) He is Aenarion Reborn, the "Eternity King" could be similar to the concept of Karl Franz Ascendant where the spirits of all former Emperors (in this case, Phoenix Kings) possess him. Alternatively, he could just fully be reborn as Aenarion.

3) The "secret message" describes a Phoenix facing off against a Dragon to reach the flames. As the story focuses on Malekith's final attempt to take the Phoenix Crown, it can be assumed that Tyrion is the Phoenix that faces the Dragon (Malekith riding Seraphon).

4) It's the perfect "against all the odds" story as with Karl Franz in the Glottkin book; Tyrion fighting against a presumably much larger combined Asur/Asrai/Druchii force, against his brother and uncle, etc.

5) The High Elves worship Asuryan. The Dark Elves worship Khaine. The art in the trailer implies Asuryan and Khaine battle each other. If the Phoenix Guard bowed to Tyrion, surely he is Asuryan's Chosen? It would make sense for Khaine to choose Malekith as his Avatar, whether Malekith likes it or not.

Another possibility in all this is that the Avatar is NOT Tyrion or Malekith....but Tullaris. Convenient, no? He won't need a new model then, will he...

Sense does your point make.

So, Death, Pestilence, War, so now Famine/Ruin to go.

Which fits the most with *drum roll* Skaven

Flee flee manthings.

It would be hilarious if Skaven won "The End Times".
