If there was any doubt about the next installment of the End Times being Archaon (after reading Thanquol), there may not be much now.
Seems like there is a high level of detail with the End Times 5 book rumors as of late, and I’m willing to bet there are some people out there that know more than they are letting on.

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.
