Warhammer: The End Times – Glottkin is an expansion for Warhammer: The Game of Fantasy Battles (8th Edition) released in 2014 for 2 players, 150 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Dice Rolling, and Modular Board.
From the publisher's website: Archaon has sent the Glottkin, triplet champions of Nurgle, to infest the lands of men with their supernatural plagues. Gods and monsters clash as the doom of the civilised world fast approaches. These are the End Times. Warhammer: Glottkin continues the epic saga begun in Warhammer: Nagash. This terrifying new chapter in the history of the Old World is revealed over two softback tomes. Warhammer: Glottkin Book 1 is a 128-page volume which provides a narrative sweep of the events surrounding the Chaos invasion of the Old World led by the Brothers Glott. Warhammer: Glottkin Book 2 is a 64-page volume that contains six new scenarios and new rules based on the events in Warhammer: Glottkin Book 1. It includes the rules that will allow you to field the Glottkin, Maggoth Lords, Gutrot Spume and the Putrid Blightkings in your games of Warhammer. It also includes all-new rules for Karl Franz Ascendant (who is changed by the horrors of the End Times, but you will have to read the book to find out more) and Festus Empowered. Armies of the End Times can field more Lords - to up 50% - and there are brand new rules for fighting battles in the streets of war torn cities. The new army list - The Legions of Chaos - allows you to create a unified army of Chaos drawn from Warriors of Chaos, Daemons of Chaos and Beastmen.
Warhammer: The End Times – Glottkin supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Warhammer: The End Times – Glottkin is 150 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Warhammer: The End Times – Glottkin for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Warhammer: The End Times – Glottkin has a complexity rating of 3.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
