Games Workshop CEO Predicts Sellout: The End of Skaventide?

Games Workshop CEO Predicts Sellout: The End of Skaventide? Hold on to your warpstone, Skaven fans—things are looking a little shaky in the Under-Empire! Recently, the Games Workshop CEO made a bold statement that has Warhammer fans everywhere buzzing: "It’ll sell out." Sell out what, you ask? Well, it seems the much-anticipated Skaventide release might be racing out of stock faster than a rat fleeing a sinking ship. Let’s dig into what this means for Warhammer enthusiasts and why Skaven players might want to start hoarding their cheese (and miniatures). What Did the CEO Actually Say? In a recent interview, the Games Workshop head honcho hinted that upcoming releases, including Skaventide-related goodies, are expected to fly off the shelves. He didn’t mince words when he said, “It’ll sell out” with the kind of confidence you’d expect from someone holding all the warp tokens. Translation: Get your pre-orders ready, folks, because those plastic sprues aren’t going to stick around long. Whether this is a clever marketing strategy or genuine anticipation is up for debate, but one thing is clear: Skaven players are in for a wild ride. Why Are Skaven So Popular? Let’s face it, Skaven are one of the most unusual factions in Warhammer. They’re sneaky, they’re scheming, and they’re hilariously bad at teamwork—which is ironic, given that there are millions of them. They’re the quintessential “just one more dice roll” army, where everything can go terribly wrong in the most entertaining way possible. Who doesn’t love a giant rat-powered doomwheel crashing straight into its own army?
