Plastic Bloodthirster Details

The Plastic Bloodthirster is real.

Kit makes three models a normal bloodthirster with whip and Axe of Khorne, one wielding a monstrous two-handed axe, third has a doubleheaded axe and super long chain flail. The wings are really big - the model is almost as big as Nagash, and is extra tall. It is sculpted on top of a flickering flame. There are three different heads with different types of horns and helmets. Large armoured hooves, thigh straps, regular upper body strapps and gladiator kindof armour. Super muscular, like a super ripped world's strongest man mixed with a Khorne daemon.

End Times Archeon Details

Archaon is indeed book five of the End Times, and will be new models coming too.

It will be released sometime in March. Book one has an artist's rendering of Archaon weilding the Kingslayer on the cover and Book two's cover is a very nice picture of the current model of Archaon.

The book concentrates on the forces of Khorne, however Orcs and Goblins finally make their appearance in End Times and Grimgor is featured heavily in this book (with rules).

All eight of the Incarnates are revealed, including some BIG surprises on a Shakespearean level.

I talked about the blood thirster recently, but there are more units coming too. Khorne will also be getting Skullreapers, and Wrathmongers.

The Skullreapers look like the Khador Doomreavers with tall doublehanded halbreds, and the Wrathmongers resemble miniature humoid versions of the Lord of Skulls, but with leather armour.

End Times Archaon

Rear right is seen with two-handed weapon a truly monstrous new blood demon.
In the foreground more Khorne new models are to be seen, models similar to the size of the Blightkings. Both the models left and right of Archaon and the model at the bottom of the left corner seem to be new models.
Also interesting is the model of Archaon, therefore, it should probably not be a new model for the gentlemen of Latter-day.
End of February, the beginning of March to the end Times start in their final chapter.

List of current model kits that will be officially included in Warhammer 9th. He later posted that this list is accurate, but incomplete, meaning there may be additional kits that survive that are not listed, with the implication being that you should be OK to purchase and paint these kits (but not base).

Araloth
Cauldron of Blood/Bloodwrack Shrine
Eternal Guard/Wildwood Rangers
Sisters of the Thorn/Wildriders of Kurnous
Witch Elves of Khaine/Sisters of Slaughter
Treeman
Savage Orcs
Night Goblins
Night Goblin Fanatics
Stonehorn/Thundertusk
Mournfang Cavalry
Thanquol and Boneripper
Vermin Lord
Warlord
Grey Seer
Screaming Bell/Plague Furnace
Stormvermin
Stormfiends
Doomwheel
Hellpit Abomination
Nagash
Coven Throne/Mortis Engine
Terrorgheist/Zombie Dragon
Mortarchs
Morghasts
Glottkin
Maggoth Lords
Gutrot Spume
Blightkings
Gorereapers
Wrathmongers
Chaos Spawn
Chaos Warshrine
Chaos Daemons
Ghorgon/Cygor
Grimm Burlockson
Josef Bugman
Runesmith
Ironbreakers/Irondrakes
Gyrocopter
7 Champions and an army of light.

No more Lizardmen, but still playable.
No more Gnoblars/Skinks. They become Goblins.
No more Beastmen.

Elves become more Eldary, units take on aspects of their gods.

There are some units like the Blood Knights that I expected to survive into 9th, but the events of the books have made me doubt this is going to happen anymore. They were due to be updated. Plus it fits with the new merging unit policy, not sure that's happening anymore though. Something similar happened to the Bone Giant, that being said I heard the Bone Giant was getting a redesign and a release some point in the future.

The game will become more Fantasy like, less cannons and warmachines. More magical. It's not just the "Humans" that get empowered by the gods all factions will experience this.

Grimgor, Grimgor, Grimgor, Grimgor, Grimgor, Grimgor!

I'm betting Grimgor gets to be the Incarnate of Beasts. Either that or the Avatar of Gork (or possibly Mork). Either way, I is excites!

I notice that these latest rumours don't say this is the final ET book.

[Mr Mystery]

And nothing about Dragon kit....

[Erik Setzer]

And nothing about Dragon kit....

It always seemed a bit far-fetched. Especially as Archaon is likely not going to survive the End Times, so why bother making a new model for him? It's not one of those situations like putting the Glottkin in jars, which they could possibly return from later. Archaon is THE Big Bad. Either he succeeds and the world ends, or people survive (at least some) and he dies.

It might change, but I'd be surprised. Much easier to leave him as-is and eventually phase him out of the game.

Sadly, ditto for Grimgor. *Sniff.*

[Clockwork]

GW phased out Nagash before and he's back. So even if he gets moved out of the game he still has a chance of coming back.

[Archon Charybdis]

It always seemed a bit far-fetched. Especially as Archaon is likely not going to survive the End Times, so why bother making a new model for him?

If the next edition is going to be hundreds of years in the future, with essentially no characters and units from before, why bother updating anybody's models? It doesn't seem like getting a new model is a sure gauge of surviving the End Times, since everyone will be dead come 9th ed anyway.

[Erik Setzer]

Caradryan - Incarnate of Fire

I have a book here that lists Ungrim as the Incarnate of Fire. So, what, an Incarnate can lose their power, have it transferred to someone else?

Or is this just guesswork that missed that huge point in Thanquol?

[Bigred]

Ohh, that's an interesting one...

Perhaps an Incarnate can be killed and the winds moves (or can be directed) to another. Tyrion isn't the shocker so much as Teclis NOT being an Incarnate. He had two winds in his staff. Teclis' original plan in End Times:Khaine was to make all the Incarnates Elves, and Captain Citadel's list has 4 of them as Elves. Maybe Teclis is playing kingmaker and giving them out and moving them around in some grand design.

[Houghten]

Tyrion isn't the shocker? Of course he is! He's meant to be dead!

I don't just mean he got a heavily implied "nobody could survive that" fall like Karl Franz did, I mean the narration literally uses the word "dead."

[Bigred]

I'm just pointing out when your Superfriends team includes Nagash - is anyone really dead?
