It looks like we get one last miniature as part of the End Times Archaon release.

Saw the Empire/Bretonnian last charge in the new book... all i can think is

"Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword day... a red day... ere the sun rises! "

Prefer the book ;p

"Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!
Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
A sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!"

Has anyone talked about the new Archaon model yet?

Skarr Bloodwrath Model Info

[Mr Mystery]

Very nice!

[ACE01]

Got to say, I'm not moved by the new Khorne infantry units (new BT is lovely though!), and sadly the ET style we see here sets the tone for the future at style of the WFB universe.

Aside, don't know how useful this is to anyone (probably been posted around the forum, but i'm just back from a hiatus, so sorry if any duplicates), but just some stuff I heard as nowhere else obvious to leave it:

WFB Brets become Paladin Knight type archetypes (think champions of light) in the new setting
Ogres as distinct unit types gone. So are dwarves. Dwarf Slayer army the only remnant. LM are gone.
Skaven as we know also not there, new stuff built on the ET release stye to replace.
Very Large reduction in range.
New background is a result of Chapterhouse type IP cases as has been alluded. Look for the new miniatures to have a distinct 40k style (even elves) as a result. Load up on the cosmic grimdark WFB...

Oh and GW removing Hobbit range entirely, not just from retail. (Licence being shifted to Perry Miniatures?). Replaced by Horus Heresy (May) as everyone has mentioned.

Eh. Another model that looks like GW tried to go WarMachine style but asked, "How can we take the original WM style, but then turn the dial up to 'DERP'?"

ACE01, a lot of that's been floating around. Some of it's obvious from the End Times books released so far. Ogres lost their homeland as it started blowing up, and wandered off to join others. Dwarfs had their empire destroyed by Skaven, only the Slayers leaving with Ungrim survived given the way ET:Thanquol ended. In ET:Thanquol pretty much all the Slann died and the Lizardmen went to the stars. In White Dwarf last week, we see Skreech telling Thanquol they have to move Skavenblight to another world. And the leaked last page of ET:Archaon... well, you can't say much about that without it being spoilerish.

Hobbit stuff is obviously going to leave shelves, which is kind of sad, as it was actually a fun game once I got a chance to experience it. Horus Heresy has conflicting rumors.

Supposedly the last page from Archaon.

MASSIVE SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY. DO NOT READ IF YOU DO T WANT TO FIND OUT THE END TIMES.....END

Another lazy sculpt. They clearly get one great model properly sculpted ( nagash, blood thirster) then use this to spawn off as many smaller scale variants as they can ( spirit host, khorne crap) .
Such a shame the game is getting a total mauling, been playing for 25 years but struggling to see beyond end times.
