The Mighty Glottkin Arrives For Warhammer Fantasy
October 24, 2014 by brennon
Games Workshop have added their next big villain to their webstore for The End Times and Warhammer Fantasy. As well as the massive miniature of The Glottkin they're also bringing out the next big End Times Book and more...
As you can see he is quite the monstrous creation and I'm all behind this sculpt. I think it's cool looking and has plenty of detail across not just the third hulking brother but also with the two riders as well. I can see a lot of interesting versions of this hitting the internet over the next few months. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the big model you see featuring at Golden Daemon next year too.
With the miniature you also needs rules and the next big book is out charting the history of this End Times conflict. As we know already Altdorf is set to fall and the forces of Chaos are pushing ever deeper into The Old World while plots and schemes are hatched elsewhere. I want to see the new rules for Karl Franz in person though!
There's a Standard Edition as well as a Limited Edition version of the rules that also comes with a series of art prints for some of the main players in the storyline. You also have the choice of a digital version too if you were that way inclined.
Will you be dragging yourself out of the swampy mire to pick up this next book and another monstrous enemy to the forces of Light and Order?
Let us know!

Nurgle really ain’t my cup o’ tea but it’s a pretty imposing little fella all the same. Really enjoying the direction that fantasy is headed in at the moment personally and I await the next release with trepidation!
Really hoping to see something interesting done with Brettonians and Skaven 🙂
Amen!
I think I will be getting Glottkin, what a model!
I’ll be picking up the book as part of my drive to get a full set then pull out of GW, The Glotkin model is nice but I’d be using it so infrequently it’s not worth my while, I do have a Gencon Cthulhu from hero clicks which will stand in for him if I ever use it in game.
Think probably just the book for me for now, but that is a cracking model. Even if it does suffer from implausible skull syndrome
Standard edition is already sold out on the US GW site =(
I like this one, I said when the last kit came out I thought it was the multipose stuff that made them look a little off.
This one is great. As a painting project I would love to have a go at it, but I cannot see me using these large models in a game, I never play big enough battles for them, same with 40K.
As an aside, this is the kind of model that is perfect for an airbrush, and for once that GW paint job is stunning.
The English versions of both the limited and standard Glottkin editions are sold out on the UK webstore, and have been for hours. There certainly seems to be no shortage of demand for these (undeniably rather awesome) End Times books.
Not to worry, I imagine GW is cranking up the presses to print off more even now, though you would think that, after the popularity and all round good fan reception of the Nagash books, that GW would have anticipated high demand for this product.
Outstanding model. No idea how much it costs, but outstanding model.
SEE GW, this is what makes you the top dogs. More of this and less flying wolf bricks ffs.
Quite possibly the best model I have seen EVER or maybe I am getting a bit too overexcited.
This reminds me of an old monster colouring book I had when I was a kid and I used to draw creatures similar to this.
I might actually buy this one despite it being overpriced it’s just too damn good and I need to paint it 😀
Looks good.
If I got I would make one change and clip off those spikes to the left and right of the beasts head.
I think they simply distract from the beasts face.
