Looks like the fears of combining with skaven is killed of http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nWjMeHf2X...Uns/sMPMfHXtkhU/s1600/IMG-20141215-WA0007.jpg http://descansodelescriba.blogspot.com.au/2014/12/wdw-47-desveladahobbitjuegos-y-extras.html
Flying temple-pyramid?! Hope that thing's got windshield wipers... 'cause the Lizardmen GONNA MAKE IT RAIN
The quote from the article is "In the aftermath of a great victory over the hated Skaven, the Lizardmen hunt for sacrifices..." So the conjecture is that if this is in the latest issue of White Dwarf, then the next End Times book probably doesn't have them joining forces (unless the Skaven are the Lizardmen's slaves!)
Its hard to read, but one of the pages speaks of another Second generation Slann, Adohi-Tehga. After concluding that Mazdamundi is right, he speaks this: "Mazdamundi has called exodus, awaken the Opener of the ways, Send for the golden crested spawning" (the pictures in our army book, everybody thought was sacred spawnings?) followed by this text "Deep beneath the temple-pyramid, ancient *cant read* were traced, sequence codes *cant read* to stone carved glyphs. Sealed down *cant read* closed for ages of the world were unlocked, and deeper champers revealed. A Golden Crested Skink *A LONG paragraf I cant read :/* " Something about "spawned for their/this/that purpose" And yes....it seems like the "Exodus" is indeed our pyramds taking of! "The Exodus Engines were engaged" I was so worried we would leave them behind! This is rather thrilling!
"They chose a Skink to pilot the temple-pyramids, you say? (Sighs) well.. Hmph.." Heh i am so stoked for this
Ugh, skink sacred spawning? Saurus need some love! Though judging by the troglodon which I'd ridden by an extremely rare skink which has the same profile as a lowly common skink, just without the awesome javelin, I'm not expecting much.
Saurus got all the love in form of scarvet and oldblood. They are the best combat characters in warhammer in terms of points and performance. Otherwise don't expect much love on Lizardmen, the book is about Skaven, we will get our scaly ass kicked.
skinks are the maintainers who run society and administrative tasks. Saurus are warriors. It would be odd for a Saurus to be tasked with Pilot tasks.
"A Golden Crested Skink alone entered the last vault, the ponderous door swinging closed behind him. At his presence, [lights running?] through the stone flickered and hummed, bathing all in a blue-tinted light. Spawned for this purpose, the Skink knew what to do, despite never having entered a chamber such as this. Tracing swirled patterns upon a panelled wall, the Skink was surrounded by [holographic controls?]. By his motions, the temple-pyramid was brought to life, [it thrummed?] with unknown energies that shook its foundations. Far up in the pinnacle, Lord Adohi Tehga rose up on his floating stone palanquin and traveled out to the temple-pyramid's star-gazing [roof?], many thousands of feet above the ground. A lone start twinkled through the [greenish haze?] of the Chaos Moon. A portent, thought the Mage-Priest. A fleeting sign, some last vestige of hope? Adohi-Tehga felt the tremors as the whole temple-pyramid trembled. The Exodus Engines were engaged. If doom was indeed upon the whole world, thought Adohi Tehga, then the last gift of the Old Ones would not fail them." Ummm...are the Lizardmen leaving the Warhammer world?
