Did YOU miss anything over the weekend? Spring into Monday with a look back at last week’s tabletop news and rumors! The big story from the weekend is the confirmed Necron release, however there is still more from the End Times and Forge World to go around still! It really doesn’t matter if you’re a round or square base-er it’s was a great week for hobby news!
Hobby Headlines
NEW NECRONS As of this writing the full release list, as well as some, of the product photos have been leaked for the Necrons. 
Initial feedback seems to be positive for the limited ‘Cryptek’ Codex release, however I’ve heard of several Blood Angels players lamenting over the disparities between the two limited editions!
- Necron Overlord: $28
- Codex Necrons: $49.50
- The Tomb Awakens: $185
- Codex Nerons Cryptek Edition: $165
- Datacards Necrons: $12.50
FULL NECRON RUMOR ROUNDUP 
The End Times: Thanquol and Archaon At last we have the latest End Times book in the series, and WOW the ‘Olde World’ is starting to sound a lot more like the ‘Grim Dark’. Easily the most viseral chapter in the End Times saga, Thanquol may just turn out to be the ‘Empire Strikes Back’ of the series. The story sets up what looks to be the final series of battles for the End Times as Archaon (or his Skaven ‘allies’) battles across the old world from Lustria to the Dwarven mountains. 
From what I can see there is no way the fifth book of the series CAN’T revolve around Archaon from the EPIC conclusion of the Thanquol book.
Spoiler Alert: this book is brutal.
Check it out for yourself in my first look video review below.
Rumors
Sisters of Battle On the rumor front we heard some murmurings about new Soroitas models. I think the key is several different independent sources are all saying new models and a codex! Sororitas Forum Roundup 1-7-2015

Full Adepta Sororitas Rumor Roundup
Chaos Daemons & Space Marines Moving on to the next chapter this weeks rumor saga; we heard from several of the same sources above about ‘cult’ rules for Chaos Space Marines. They all seem to point to a Khorne Codex of some sort, and a new Bloodthirster model with hints of a possible crossover release with Fantasy’s End Times Book 5.

New Releases
Stormfiends $62
The latest creations from the crazed laboratories of Clan Moulder, Stormfiends are hulking brutes stitched together from a variety of body parts. Armed with a deadly array of experimental weaponry, they are able to wade through densely-packed enemies, or single-handedly halt enemy charges with blistering fire-storms.
This multi-part plastic kit makes three Stormfiends that can be assembled with a variety of weapon options. The three Stormfiends each have a unique pose, and warpstone armour that is different for each model. They are covered in all manner of pipes, cables, stitched skin and runes.
Each miniature has the option to be armed with a pair of one of the following: ratling cannon, grinderfists, doom-flayer gauntlets, shock gauntlets, warpfire projectors or windlaunchers.
Grey Seer $22
The Grey Seers are powerful sorcerers, capable of channelling eldritch energies in destructive ways – levelling armies with lightning, or summoning ravening swarms of rats. As chief agents for the Horned Rat, Grey Seers wield tremendous influence amongst the Warlord clans, and only a fool would ignore their council.
This 9-piece plastic kit makes one Grey Seer holding a staff (mounted with a pet rat) and crystal ball, and armed with a dagger. The model is supplied with a 20mm square base.
Skaven Warlord $22
To hold the title of Warlord is to rule supreme. In battle these brutal, back-stabbing commanders will do anything for victory, leading from the back, a nice safe place where he can watch the flow of battle and decide where his sword arm is needed most.
This 8-piece plastic kit makes one Skaven Warlord armed with a sword and wearing heavy armour and is supplied with a 20mm square base.
And the obligatory bundle…
Children of the Horned Rat $667.75
The Children of the Horned Rat web bundle contains 93 miniatures including: 1 Thanquol and Boneripper, 2 boxes of Stormfiends, 1 Skaven Warlord, 2 boxes of Stormvermin, 1 Screaming Bell, 2 boxes of Clanrats, 1 Hellpit Abomination, 2 Doomwheels and 1 Verminlord.
Go, go, buy, buy, man-thingsssss
