I've seen virtually nothing about this upcoming Storm of Magic. The verminlord is firmly entrenched in my "never buy it" list of units/items/options for skaven that never, ever seem to make any sense to field, so it would be great if the suggestion is true that the VL might get some sort of upgrade in Storm of Magic. It sounds as if this is merely wishful thinking at this stage, though, or have any of you actually heard whispers otherwise at some convention or other?

Right now it's just hopeful whispers, based on the general ideas that Storm of Magic will be monster-centric and that the VL is the only monster we have that could use an update. However, that presumes that SoM will provide new monsters on an army-by-army basis, rather than just generating a pool of generic monsters for all armies to choose from (like the common magic items). HOWEVER HOWEVERER, though, one of the teaser pics showed what appears to be an Abyssal Terror, which is currently a very army-specific monster

I must admit i was fairly unimpressed with the model when i first saw it...but...it appears to have grown on me, and anything skaven specific from FW is good in my eyes. I'm almost certain its not scenery, i'm honestly not sure how an opinion such as that could come to light and be taken seriously.

The comment on it not being "warlike" enough has some merit but really i think it needs not be warlike to be good. I like to think of it from the perspective of a soldier on the battle field...that thing is going to be bloody terrifying!

Totally not a magpie

I think the model as a work in progress is decent, but I hope when finished it'll be leaner rather than being a bloated fat thing. After all bar Snikch and ASF it's meant to our fastest model. Then again to echo a bit, chances are I won't buy it anyway, unless they revamp the rules or for some nigh impossible reason make it affordable (ahem.) Still I shall be interested in seeing what the finished model looks like. :)

Looks to me it could almost be both a model or just a statue. Where it was bigger than the rat ogre and probably bigger than the hpa it might be a statue. It would make my army list in a few years.
From out of the spawn pools came a White rat... with the power to one day rule his own army of uncontrollable intelligence.
I...Love... Cheese!
