Skaven players: Stormfiends and Deathrattlers when?

don't expect end times units any time soon. What remains for skaven are moulder units.
MAster moulders as normal lords, Thrott as a LL, maybe pack masters as hero. Maybe a mount as the great pox rat as well.
Giant rats/wolf rats, augmented rat ogres , and then for the big units probably stuff like brood horrors (who may be a unique mount option for pack leaders), borrowing behemoths, or maybe even rat hydras (doubt it though).

Of course, there's also the verminlord. Which is by FAR the missing unit from the skaven roster that is the most exciting. But I doubt we'll get two lord type so we may not see that one before Thanquol comes in game 3.

I honestly hope we don't, not just because I absolutly despise End Times, I could get over it if I actually liked the units, but because I think most of End Times' units are just a bit too much, I understand that GW model rellies on releasing newer, more powerful units to keep selling minis, but I never liked it, it invariably ends becoming silly (like with space marine rat ogres).

"Deathrattlers" aren't a thing.

Deathrattler was in the game Vermintide. It's a named Stormfiend.

Its just a form of gunwielding stormfiend.
The 3rd would be a driller version.

verminlord could come with thanquol as a hero in game three, or even a generic lord


p.s before anyone says they'll be op.

Guarantee they'll just be super expensive to balance it out. If they weren't OP-ish they wouldn't be much of a greater daemon.

Wouldn't call it crying. Moreso I'm literally saying they'd need to be sort of overpowered to get the proper feeling right, like how the dread saurian is an insanely powerful unit but has the high cost to make up for it.

(Though he'd probably be closer to the Hierotitan as I'd imagine it'll have some sorts of spells with him)

End Times stuff, not really appropriate for TWW2. Admittedly the Stormfiend is a far better fit than most End Times crap, since it's basically just a rogre with a warpfire thrower, but it's the principle of the thing.

So far i know there are 3 variants, flamer, gunner (like an oversized ratling) and driller.
