The four horsemen approach.

So it has been widely speculated that the End times will come in four parts. One for each horseman of the Apocalypse.

So far we have had

• Death - Nagash returns to hereld the Endtimes.
• Pestilence - The Glotkin, sweep south bringing disease to the lands of men.

Rumoured next is 

• War - Khaine the Elven God of war comes
• Famine - the Skaven emerge, with the black hunger gnawing at their stomach devouring all foodstuffs.

Pete did a wonderful blog speculating on the Khaine release. So I'd like to cover the Skaven release, and my hopes for it.

So looking at the first two End time books, we see a trend appearing, which we assume and hope continues.

A big Centre piece model the namesake of the book.

Three lieutenants riding large mounts.

And either a new Unit choice or re make of an old unit choice.

Speculation I'd go with the Horned Rat (may he be 13 times blessed) himself as the center piece. But I could also invisge a Moulder creature being ridden, or maybe a Skryre weapon of doom.

I'm hoping the 3 lieutenant's will stick with a more skaven theme and be on bell like altars, pushed into battle by troops. But I could also see a moulder mount, a cross between a HPA and a pox rat.

The options for anything else are to massive to guess at, I'll just have to wait and see.

All said and done, I am very excited for some Skaven love. And i am very interested to see how it's done, as like the beastmen we are working form an old 7th book, and they got Marks of chaos with could be a massive buff to their army, what will the rat men get?!

Ever hopeful,
Kye
