Of course Skaven are expected for the Endtimes 4 book release, and recent rumors have put promotion material arriving at stores as we speak. So it was only a matter of time before we got wind of what some of that might look like. Lets see what is being said......
Please remember that these are rumors, and early reports. I am assuming the cover of White Dwarf #49 is what they saw in the promotion material, not this week's.

Plastic Vermin Lord to make 5 different kits in white dwarf 49.
white dwarf 2 weeks from now will feature the release of a plastic
vermin lord kit, will make 5 alternate models with different themes. 1
Eshin, 1 Grey Seer, 1 Warlord, 1 Moulder and one supposed "Vermin King".
Eshin one can be skitterleapt and gets re-rolls to cast skitterleap, grey
seer one always gets 6 on the d6+1 part of warp lightning casts. No further
information about the others or point costs, but alledgedly he's going to
be about the same dimesnsions as Nagash.
