The main purpose of this khorne codex is to ride in the slipstream of End Times 5, which will be released earlier in march, with the "headline"-release of the new Bloodthirster (builds 3 variants).

The bloodthirster apparently looks great with various head and weapon options. The Archaon book will bring some more khorne stuff with a new unit as well.

I heard there could be an old special character possibly getting a new model, it's possible it could be a dual kit with the bloodthirster.

...And Skarbrand. Assume he would dual kit with blood thirster but not 100%

Harry chimes in:
Except this one was designed and sculpted by Jes Goodwin.

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 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.

My mate got his Blood thirster early, and looks to be a round base and bespoke rules for 40k in the build papers.

Perhaps a 40k Chaos release is forthcoming?

This is some of the best model news in a long time (if it's true). Here's hoping the other greater daemons will follow.

three variants could be skarbrand, generic fantasy, and generic 40k, you never know.

Never really liked the Bloodthirster aesthetically, mostly because it's just a big cliche.

However, that is an undeniably solid rendering of the idea. If you're going to hit every cliche going, you might as well do it in style.

Which I suppose might as well be the motto of everything GW has ever produced.

I have a feeling the rumour of new khorne berzerkers and such was instead related to this fantasy release with this new bloodthirster instead.

Kirsten
02-08-2015, 12:10 PM
depends, there was the mention of berserkers on juggernauts. so either the person who saw the pic/model was correct, or they didn't recognise the fantasy skull crushers

I have a feeling the rumour of new khorne berzerkers and such was instead related to this fantasy release with this new bloodthirster instead.

the rumour of new bezerkers comes fromt Steve the Warboss, same guy that rumoured the Thirster, he stated that the zerkers were being released around the time of the end times book to tie into the release of the thirster and the fantasy khorne models. IE: we just sold the fantasy players a thrister, lets try inspire some new zerker armies in 40k at the same time.

I'll admit, I didn't buy his rumours before, but I'm hesitantly optimistic now

...why the big black boxes in the images?

Gotthammer
02-08-2015, 11:53 PM
At a (somewhat educated) guess they're probably shots taken from a printing/layout test and the boxes are there to obscure the image so the inevitable leak isn't showing the whole deal.

Order from 28th, in our mitts 7th.

Kind of tempted. Even though I don't play Daemons, and find Khorne dull, these are looking like phenomenal kits.

Houghten
02-23-2015, 03:09 AM
Likewise. My office at work is some kind of repurposed room, and where they've filled in a half-wall with some plywood it's left a little "shelf" that's useless for keeping anything you actually want on, because you have to lean over the desk to a dangerous degree to reach it, but would be perfect for a big, daemonic "you don't want to be near this desk" model.

Good armor doesn't mean anything against cannons, but the Thirster is sitting kind of uniquely well defended against all the save or die super-spells. At least off-hand I can't think of any other monsters that have 6+ in all the relevant stats.

Yup.

Anything being pointed in its direction for a quick kill isn't fussed by armour anyways.

The larger Dragons, with initiative being the exception. But I guess that was your point, so considers this reply retracted :)

Keeper of Secrets of Exquisite Sensation
Keeper of Secrets of Unbridled Lust
Desire of Slaanesh Keeper of Secrets
Great Unclean One of Virulent Blight
Great Unclean One of Festering Rot
Decay of Nurgle Great Unclean One




Variants that didn't make it in:
Needlessly Overcomplicated Lord of Change
Acute Great Unclean One
Chronic Great Unclean One
Keeper of Censorship

Got a chance to see one last night, assembled and started on painting (by the GW store manager). It looks a LOT better without that insanely goofy painting style of extreme edge highlight EVERYTHING. The wings look so much better with a decent paint scheme. I'd actually consider getting one now, if/when I can fit it into my budget.

Those infantry, though? That's a big ol' bag of NOPE.
