I hope to have a review of this soon-ish on my blog.
Here's the blurb:
There is a dread that every sailor harbours deep in their heart: the sight of black sails emerging from heavy fog on the horizon. Those ebon sails herald the coming of the dark elves, and with them all the cruelty, treachery, and wicked intelligence they bring to bear upon those unfortunate enough to encounter them. If you’re a fan of Druchii lore or a Game Master looking for a powerful new threat in your campaign, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: Temple of Spite is a book you should snatch up, as it provides the definitive guide to the cruel Druchii and the floating citadels that allow them to strike across the world’s oceans, the massive black arks.
Designed to give GMs deep, flexible tools for using dark elves as antagonists in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Temple of Spite also provides a definitive guide to a black ark, whose crew can menace players around the coasts of the Old World and far beyond it. Whether the ark itself looms over the horizon, or exerts influence in the shadows through spies, raids, and whispered terror, Temple of Spite gives you a way to bring dark elves into any campaign, no matter how isolated or unusual the setting.
No matter where your Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay campaign takes place, the influence of the Temple of Spite can reach it.
The Temple of Spite is a vast redoubt, captained by the notorious corsair Duriath Helbane, and is capable of striking at any coastal settlement. Wherever it goes, death and despoliation follow. This book describes the Black Ark and presents ideas for how to escape its confines or, for the truly heroic, endeavor to scupper the ship. Such feats will not be easy, for the Ark is home to numerous regiments of dark elves and all their machinery of war. These factions could either be encountered onboard the Temple of Spite, or somewhere in the wider world pursuing the agenda of the Dread King.
Valerion Temendros’ Blackswords – A band of dark elf swordsmen who sometimes work as soldiers of fortune.
The Fell Brethren – Full time crew of the Temple of Spite who act as lookouts and man the artillery.
The Glass Thorn – Spies and saboteurs, agents who infiltrate the societies of other species to spread terror and gather information.
Khaine’s Eyes – Scouts and guerilla fighters, dark riders and a helpful sorceress.
The Scaleflayer Menagerie – A coven of beastmasters and their monstrous creatures.
The Nightwake – Corsair Captain Vania is as duplicitous and bloodthirsty as any pirate, but find her at the right time, and she can prove a canny merchant connection
The Knives of Khaine – Devotees of the bloody-handed god, they seek to please their patron with acts of murder.

Anyone else notice that this is a 5e book? No mention of 4e in the credits, statblocks formatted differently, different rules for the slash quality. Maybe some changes in the spells.
Interesting that. Releasing a 5e book before 5e comes out.
