Could be a new Uriah Jacobus; I believe his shotgun is lever-action. Although I also believe he is dead by the time of the great rift, so maybe a similar character.
On the other mechadendrite, I am sure that there is more Ad-Mech stuff soon. I saw some official-looking art of big floating throne things with tech-priests on them which look like they are probably a unit.

yeah these are in the codex and look pretty dope.
getting a plastic kit that looks like Archmagos Draykavac would be pretty cool

But If like to br wrong, as If like normal order humans to get something before elves get yet another faction.
There had been rumors of Wanderers getting a battletome before Cities of Sigmar. They had clearly been building up what their scenery would have been, as they kept talking about them putting Waystones up across the realms to cleanse the ley-lines of Chaotic influence and redirecting Ghyran's energy across the Realms. It really made me think of that whole thing as they're putting these Waystones and abandoning them.
It's worth mentioning though that there is a whole continent in Ghyran called "Kurnotheal", which used to be Kurnoth's 'hunting reserve' for all intents and purposes--a place where he could go and be a brutal hunter without offending Alarielle and her more peaceful folk. Nurgle forces overran it when Ghyran fell, and it isn't really clear right now whether it's been cleared or not. There's a Realmgate there linking to Ghur though.

I really dont think that will matter if the model designers came up with a good Hysh elf design involving pheonixes. Numerous times in various stormcasts its been made clear that concept art and model design typically come first; while they may incorporate world and fluff building at the same time to inform each other design takes precedence in terms of importance. At least that's how I understand it.
I think its clearly something that goes with Kurnoth Hunters. I feel like its a safe bet they'll get a full army and it goes well with some of the other rumor engines.

Assuming that you mean the Kurnothi, as Kurnoth Hunters are the Treelords Lite that the Sylvaneth have?
I'd 100% agree that the Kurnothi are likely to see an army down the line though. It just remains to be seen what comes with it.
That would be so awesome. Though it's probably Sigmar.
The swirly pattern has been used before as an Eldar motif. Both Jain Zar and the Visarch sport those on their armours (along legs and arms), unless they are reusing it for something Elf related in AoS.

It was used before Jain Zar and the Visarch on Wood Elf stuff.

Depends on what exactly the Ur-Phoenix is and what it means to them. It has certain ties to them, as it's linked to all elves and it does have a particular place in Hysh, however, I don't expect Phoenix Temple units to appear in another book.
It give me alot of sylvaneth-ish feel. The wood branch and the swirly pattern make me think of the wardroot beetle.
But the rune and wheet looks like indication of something more civilised.
Its also a deliberate but pale discoloration like something wet has been running down the stone if you look closely. It could be a failed atempt at painting marble but looks more like it could be blood running from a head spiked at the top of the rock, almost.

That's something that would make me think, again, of Wanderers if they hadn't axed the range so heavily when they rolled them into the Cities of Sigmar.
One of the things that Waywatchers used to do, in the fluff for The World That Was, is set up corpses of the slain 'trespassers' near the Waystones in Athel Loren to ward off the Bretonnians and others. They'd strip the bodies of organs, bones, and blood and just hang the skins and skulls on the borders leaving the rest for the forest to 'claim' its due.
Maybe the Kurnothi are going to be getting some of the stripped out Wood Elf stuff as part of their faction?
Definitely looks like something for the Kurnothi - the grasses around it especially. Could they be the next new faction for AOS? I reckon exodites are on the way too but this isn't them. Aren't they having AoS and 40k open days in November at WW? should maybe see more then.

What I hope it is? Exodite eldar obviously... or something 40k eldar..
What it will be: Some sort of AOS/sub game thing..
I think those are reeds rather than wheat. And the whole thing has a swirling pool overflowing vibe personaly. So I imagine it will be something for those silly flying shark thingies from AOS.
Seeing those older pics makes me think this will be part of a skyship of some sort. There’s the picture with the three cables and the hanging boards which I think all together with this could be like the wing size on the old dwarf steam blimp.
Damn, there is still stuff from July that hadn’t been revealed?
I think that the tile dated 2019-04-09, stretched human flesh/face may belong to the newly announced Chaos Warriors as a few of the new models appear to have fleshy cape bits starting from the shoulder down. No clear shot of it yet but a contender nonetheless!
This is perfect, as our one fell by the wayside clearly.
What is insane is how old some of these are. Back in June or whenever no one was thinking, oh it’s probably a weird Sphinx creature for Warcry.
The stuff we are getting now is just for some faction not even on the radar most likely.
(I know this isn’t news, it just amazes me when we see them laid out like this, how far out stuff is..)
it does appear to fit the Kurnothi from underworlds and it looks like a double ended horn with decorations, so it could be Kurnoth as big leader of the faction.
Although it probably will be Kurnothi, I can't see it. Something about the rounded nubs, the tassles, and the round icon remind me of the Cypher Lords and the Sphiranx.
Also, don't we have a 40k looking rumor engine that has similar tassles?
The 'round symbol', in all likelihood, is a gemstone set onto some kind of armored 'brace' for the horn. The attachment points for the tassles are different, with the horn/antlers picture having the material seemingly woven through the anchors while the spear-part has a metal 'cap' that is attached to a ring then linked through the anchoring point.
Additionally, the spear is just presumed to be 40k. It might be something Kharadron Overlords or Freeguild.
Edit: On a more serious note, now that the shock has abated, the interior crescent looks battered. Like an artifact strapped into another device. Might it just be some Imperial using Necron tech? It's kind of the duel of the bottom feeders here. Who's more likely to get a model first, a radical Xenos Inquisitor or Necrons proper?
It could even be a Deathwatch character so GW doesn't have to suffer the indignity of making a non-Space Marine model.
That'd be cool, I am still not convinced that the "Seraphon vs Tzeench in Feb 2020" isn't just someone on 4chan making stuff up as usual, but I won't lie, updated lizards would be fantastic.
Waaaghbert wrote: I'd say Kharadron Overlords. Looks to "Stoney" and low-tech for Crons
I don't know about that. There does seem to be something that looks like a necron glyph, and necrons are associated with crystals and what-not, and a lot of necron tech is pretty old. A lot of necron stuff should look a little degraded, considering where its been , imo. Maybe a device that uses a big chunk of some psy-resistant rock?
Red Corsair wrote: I'll eat my hat if it isn't admech/inquistor in some nature using looted necron mcguffins.
It would likely be AdMech, not Inquisitorial.
A big plot thread that we got out of Vigilus and Forgebane is that Cawl has had Explorator groups looking for Blackstone deposits. We don't know why he wants all that sweet, sweet Blackstone--but he was fascinated by the Pylons so I wouldn't be shocked if that had something to do with it.
And on another note, we also have Stygies VIII trying to hoard the stuff themselves for the reason of "it's xenotech, we wants it!".
Would be cool if this was the Stygian equivalent to Cawl, a mad Techpriest who carries around a bit of Blackstone to screw with Psykers.
Looks like it could be somthing Necron with the crescent markings on the "stone". And possibly related one of Kirioth's recent vidshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuMUAoQF6ZI (about the 6.07 mark)mentions a rumoured new model for Illuminor Szeras.
The symbols made me think of necrons, but the rock with weathering and damage really doesn't. Anything living metal shouldn't have that sort of distressed effect.

Is Blackstone living metal?
Genuine question, as far as I've seen I do not see it mentioned as such. It's just a weird substance.

The surrounding text is never a hint of what the thing turns out to be.
Whatever it is, its clearly heretical. Just look at the shape of the centre piece -its shaped like a cog, but is assymetrical and broken, defying Imperial Science, making a mockery of Omnissiahs humble stability and pious regularity.
I say burn it.
bubber wrote: i think it might be the bit at the back which is partially block by the wing in this pic.
No, the video shows the legs and they don't match. Either it's an alternative part (it is meant to have three different builds) or there is going to be another model with similar details (maybe drop troops to drop out of it?).

Pictures of the three different builds from people at the open day all seem to have the same parts (the landing gear legs can be outstretched or folded, but they look the same design wise and don’t match this from what I’ve seen) so yeah it looks like there’s something else coming with it.
Either way, the “Mechanicum flyer” guesses would appear to be correct. I personally have no idea how anyone got ‘dark Eldar’ from the initial snip though, apart from possibly having never seen an Adeptus Mechanicus kit…
Indeed. There’s that cog shaped middle part that was very Ad Mech.
I reckon some more will be solved today as the day goes on.
(Any from the sisters? Seems like they could have some in there somewhere)

Bonsai as endless spell feels such an odd choice for Pan elves. Concealed Sarlacc would be more in line, given the hunter/quarry mechanic from Underworlds.
Could work as extra diorama piece, but it wasn't my first thought when I've seen the picture.
Ignispacium wrote: I'm going to say it's a small tree growing out of a giant's shoulder or head, like the mushrooms on the Dankhold Troggoth.
Sounds likely given hov GW designs stuff (I thought giant beetle with this on the exoskeleton shields). But on a closer look, the scale is way to small. the leaves on other models branches, like the ones on the dryads have a very different size. The sacle on this is not for 28mm the way I see it.
given the themes present in the hysh warband from warcry, I'll be disappointed if the eventual aelf faction release for the shiny elves isnt very easter asia influenced.
I'll be disappointed, if they are. Certain elements and influences are fine and welcomed, having samurai with pointy ears is quite uninteresting. What makes the old high elves interesting is variety of different influences and how it's woven together.

I agree, but every design has its core identity that is then worked out from and embellished and melded with different cultural cues.
I for would like to see.the elves.move.away from Greco-Roman aesthetics - and more towards something new and different. As.frankly If like.to.see.order.humans.get something Greco-Roman (just as the elves,. dwarves,.and stormcast.have), and then AoS.could start moving into new territory design wise.
People get ork from that? First thing I thought of was Gene Stealer Cult. They also tidy their cables that way and have little mining lamps on their packs and plenty of their stuff has mild damage on it. That image looks way too much like repurposed existing gear then it looks like it was cobbled together IE orkish.
It's orky, but likely it will be something amazing like a 75pt terrain piece that lets you increase the range of models with KFF to 18" of they stand by it and do nothing the whole turn instead of something useful like a ghaz/generic primork killy beatstick HQ kit

I can see no examples in any GSC models of them tidying their cables in this way. Nor can I see any lamps that look the same as the one here.
Also there's no rumours of any new GSC model and GSC have recently had a massive release.
GSC have multiple models with rags tying off hydraulic lines etc. I am not ruling out an Ork model, and I would like it to be Gaz, and I also think it's a fair shot at being that. I am just saying it definitely isn't a sure thing. I could easily see a heavy excavation suit or power lifter for GSC, that line still isn't very fleshed out beyond having a dozen guardsmen level characters.
Edit: I mean it could also be necromunda related. Or BSF.
An Actual Englishman wrote: I can see no examples in any GSC models of them tidying their cables in this way.
Spoiler:
The neat hazard stripe also looks much more Imperial than anything Ork...
That.....isn't an example of them tidying their cables in the same way. I'm not talking about the wraps (that are very similar to Orks'), I'm discussing the fabric cable tidy that seems uniquely Orkish.
The neat hazard stripe is exactly as the SAG Mek model.
Spoiler:
E - to be clear, it's this bit in particular that seems uniquely Orkish in design;
The acolyte holding the blast charges and detonator has the same hazard stripe around his collar, and I don't really see any similarity in the way the cables are tied off. It could honestly be any 40k army.

He's posted a pic of the back of Ghaz and circled the exact same cable tidies that we see on this rumour engine pic. Can you see the image I've cropped? Go to Ghazzy on the GW store and check out his cables, the tidies are identical (in black so not the easiest to spot, mind).
There's a caged light fixture on the right side of the picture. The kind you would see in any industrial setting today. This makes me think it's imperial or Necromunda scenery.

I'm guessing orks due to the bundle of wrapping over the wires on the bottom left, that's in tons of ork stuff. Also you have those industrial lights on ork stuff too.
YESSSSS!!!! That would be so amazing! I doubt it though...the way GW would do it, is to plaster it with skulls. And there is not a single one on that ship :(

Prediction: Slaves to Darkness are gettting a more in-depth model update, and Wulfrik the Wanderer is getting a new model. This is the prow of Seafang.
It seems like a prow of a ship, with chain attached, coated in barnacles and seaweed, so definitely derelict. Chain seems taunt. Pattern on prow is vaguely celtic/nordic.
Best guess is something giant-related, a flail? Or randomly idoneth endless spells, but that's very doubtful.
Only partially joking. The Idoneth Deepkin scenery piece(Gloomtide Shipwreck) is strangely worded as:
"Etheric Vortex: Gloomtide Shipwreck" and the actual product info has this:
This is an Etheric Vortex scenery piece, which models with the Idoneth Deepkin allegiance have access to.
I dont even have a half decent idea of what that could be, but I really like it and already feel I would like to pay money for it.
Well played GW, well played.
KFF Mek. It's unlikely to be Ghaz and the KFF Mek survived legends despite lacking a current model. Clearly not AOS as its standing on a box of shells.

I would not dismiss the AOS possibility. Goblin Sky Pirates are in the lore. With Kharadron on the horizon, it may be part of an Underworlds Warband. A preview of a new faction to be the nemesis of the Kharadron.
Just as a thought, but the boot and its position on top of a chest looks an awful lot like the pose Kaptin Badrukk has with a boot on a chest of teef. Perhaps a new plastic sculpt to go with Flash Gits getting a significant cost drop?

We know the warbands for this series from the cards. Nurgle, Ogre Hunter, Daughters of Khaine and Orruk Brutes still to come.

I would. Regardless of Kharadron happening sometime, that doesn't lead to Gobbo Pirates happening anytime soon, especially with Hysh, Giants and various known Underworlds releases.
On the other side of the coin, we know orks are going to be in a PA book, they might get something, and they've a wonky model-shaped hole in their updated points sheet.
You'd not get good odds for betting on Sky Pirate Gobbos, particularly since those are very orky metal teef on that boot.
And there are just too many known things on the docket.
Well for sure it’s Ork.
The metal teeth shapes are the same on most Orks aren’t they.
I don’t think it’s related to today’s Christmas reveal. Otherwise it’s a waste, some people don’t see the rumour mill on the first day so it’d be for something out.
Yes it looks like a Christmassy boot, I think that’s just more why they chose this one for the Eve reveal rather than it being related (as mentioned it would have had to come out earlier, no one buys a Christmas mini in Jan).

I certainly hope not. Seeing as how BA got their PA release, this means yet more primaris on the future. I'll hold out hope that its for fantasy. The sheath looks more Fantasy like, the gem isn't necessarily blood shaped, and its weird that it's cloth, not a purity seal wrapped around the sheath.
