Lightning, moons, comets, lions, griffons and hammers yes but anvil seems absent.
It could be Stormcast but the shield look makes me willing to bet it's someone wielding that to show their affiliation to Sigmar.
It might be that the anvil just hasn't made an appearance yet.
Grugni is partly responsible for the creation of the Stormcast and his "scions", the Seven Smiths, are the ones who actually forge the arms & armor of the Stormcast.
I'd expect, to be more frank, it to be something on a Lord Commander(the overall head of a Stormhost). The more ornate the armor, the more important it seems for runes and whatnot.
However, is this not a 3D render rather than an actual physical piece.
I tend to agree, but it could absolutely be a 3D render. Look up 'Occlusion Pass' and you will see it is quite easy to yield a result of this aesthetic.
Not that it particularly matters either way mind, GW have proved their chops as far as I am concerned converting 3d geometry into physical molds.
The Rumour Engine has activated once again, and shown us this pointy puzzle.
Give us your sharpest ideas and most cutting edge theories on what it could be over on the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar Facebook pages.
I'm leaning towards it being a weapon blade for a plastic Avatar.
Looking on point today. GW really is on the cutting edge of modelling technology. I’m sure that whatever model this is for will look sharp when it’s done.
I don't think it's a sword-blade. The ribbing on the underside and that ... thing on there look more like Eldary machiney bits. Plus, IIRC not even Eldar moels have gemstones right at the tip of the blade.
Year of the xenos is real? I’m happy this is an obvious teaser for once.
I might not like Eldar much but thank the space pope we’re getting xenos stuff. Can’t wait to see it even if it’s just terrain. Then again Eldar terrain could easily be converted or just painted as de terrain.
Looks a bit "cleaner" design wise than the three Ynnari faction models we have so far. Their aesthetic as it has been established appears much more baroque, and this looks spot on for craftworlds to me - but who knows!
Wait a second I almost got slightly hyped. This is too obvious to be Eldar. I mean think about it. Have any of the other rumors been so obvious? I think this is a red herring. It's probably some sort of dead eldar decorating a base or something.
Most Eldar superfaction swords have a lot more curvature than this structure, even Klaives have more of a curve than this does. Very few have gems on the blade and none that I could see have them near the tip.
But you do see embedded gems on the blades/vanes worn on the backs of some Eldar/Dark Eldar models. Particularly the Wraithguard/blades, Wraithlord, Wraithknight, Pain Engines and the "antenna" on the turret of the Falcon/Wave Serpent.
This structure looks a lot slimmer than those are and with more of a straight line shaft and wicked point, which makes me think Ynarri rather than the other Eldar factions. An attempt to create a new, yet familiar aesthetic for a new faction.
I suppose it could be Exodites or even Harlequins but Harlequins don't really do "back vanes" and I'd expect something more rustic or naturalistic from the Exodites.
Taking all this into account I think this is a "back vane" from a new Ynarri walker or vehicle.

The base of a plastic C'Tan shard, then?
Pfft as if Gw releases anything for Necrons. Search your feelings you know what this base is for.
A lot of the hints have added up to stuff resembling Elves. As Gamgee says, this one is obviously Eldar (soulstone, etc) in the way the lasgun was too obviously Imperial Guard, but turned out to be Necromunda.
With the AoS aesthetic getting ever closer to something not entirely out of place in 40k, my money is on this one being yet another AoS Elves hint.

Share that Kool-Aid please.
It's a base for an Imperial figure or terrain with dead eldar. That's all it will be.
I hope so. The Ynnari need their own range. The fact they just use Eldar and Dark Eldar stuff without their own units (not counting the characters) is pretty pathetic for an army, and the cynic in me thinks they just wanted people to collect both ranges to make more money.

I would agree but I get the feeling that we wont see anything for Craftworlds in the near future.
Eldar stuff would be nice, but I'm really hoping it's something to do with the Aspect Warriors, and not something new. They're in need of some really serious love, especially Spears.

I get the feeling that new Aeldari units will come before any re-sculpts, following the Primaris/Death Guard template.

Might follow the template they did with Death Guard & Harlequins. Take an Elite-slot unit, re-sculpt both the base kit and flesh it out into a new mini-army.
Yeah, but the blade looks a bit too smooth to be the Blade of the Laer, and not straight like something Ferrus would build (so no Fireblade either). Maybe Fulgrim found himself another sword. He does have four arms...
Given GWs current model direction, this could be literally anything from a new Ork Gretchin kit with swirly flame effects, an Age of Sigmar (tm) Fyrewrehthye (tm)...anything really.
well I think that fire/smoke does look a bit too...lively? for it to be anything nurgle-related at least, so we can probably rule that out...
...nah, I'm stumped...could be loads of possible things...but what the hell, I'm gonna wishlist 3 things it could possibly be, but probably won't...daemon primarch angron, or daemon primarch fulgrim...or...a big new awesome doomrider model!!
Looks like the way GW has started modelling the ethereal capes of ghost models. Probably something for Malign Portents (seriously, though. When are we going to see the model holding the little dragon thing?)

The arch and the Shadespire Skaven are solved. But the Lion chewing on the anvil is still unknown. It would fit with the theme of the new Stormcast but there are no clear pics of his shoulder pads yet.
Most likely, the lion is the shoulderpad, but we can't see it clearly enough to confirm. We should know in a couple weeks when the heralds go up for sale.
It looks a little flat to be a shoulder pad to me but it is possible.
If it's not on him then it lends weight to the follow-up army speculation that each champion could be representing. (Though it'd be a neat twist that instead of a force the engineer gets a terrain kit like the stormkeep mentioned)
Um, guys, I don't know it's apathy, or people not caring about old images,
Thanks for the re-cap but the match-ups for those were already shown several pages back.
I'm not a fan of the unhelmeted, bare-armed Stormcast. I liked the idea that they were inhuman golems losing touch with their humanity as they are reforged to fight forever.
If they're just handsome studly dudes in armor then they really are just Sigmarines.
Well it's been a thing since the first novel when a Stormcast kneeled down to take his helmet off to show a distressed woman he was human.
The golem thing can happen too though, if they get reforged too many times(and not have their soul shatter) then they can become terrible creatures like that.
In anycase, I always appreciated their human side to show that they're knights of Azyr. They have pasts ranging from kings and heroes to bakers and doctors that things like a combat engineer occupation can really show off.
It's their humanity, varied pasts, eagerness to work with non-humans and abilities to contribute off the battlefield and have down-time they spend in pursuit of other things(like visiting family) that seperates them from 40k's genetic super soldiers to me. (Plus the females in their armies and things like Hamilcar getting a romance sub-plot in the future)

That was never a thing, and they are fantasy space marines like space marines were sci fi chaos warriors. Everyone understands and accepts this.

Except it literally is a thing. Read what Klatz posted.
The issue is, as it has been since the launch, that one facet gets focused on by the material that is readily available or seen while the other facet is basically left alone.
In this case, those who have been Reforged often enough to become "inhuman golems" aren't being showcased as much as the "kindly humans elevated up".
That's after multiple reforgings though, not the initial one.
Something is lost each time. Sometimes, you notice a void in yourself. Sometimes you're utterly oblivious. Sometimes, it's unnoticed by anyone (could just be a particular memory lost)
Not sure if the lion head with the anvil in its mouth is the shoulder pad on the Storm Cast however the anvil icon is on his knee pad so they are related somehow.

The loss with reforging thing is just there to make death have a cost. Inhuman golems would be very extreme cases. It's not what they are but what some might become. You may as well say "I really like the idea of zombies" when talking about mortal factions.

Then comes question of do they get brand new reinforcements ever and golemized ones put to death. If not in eternal war either sigmarines never lose(ie never die) or sooner or later all have died often enough they are golems.
Stormcasts get constant reinforcements as permanent death has been a thing for them since the start. They even have a massive mausoleum to honour those who couldn't be brought back.
As far as I'm aware, no Stormcast has gone to the extremes of golem just yet. But there's plenty of examples of memory loss of previous lives or even older battles.
On reforging and becoming golem-creatures; I’d like to see a chamber full of dudes reforged so many times they turn into lightning golems and their armour is a hollow shell bound together by arcs of electricity.
This guy, however, clearly hasn’t been reforged after the initial resurrection.
Eh, it's hard to see that becoming an official chamber. (Though an cool looking fan-made one)
Golemized Stormcasts don't have the sense of other Stormcasts and you've got two instances in the lore of one overly reforged knight uncaringly leading his force into a Skaven ambush despite the warnings and another who kept going after a Chaos warrior over and over again with each time becoming more basic and predictable.
This is likely why they hardly show up, they become (albeit powerful) shells that march straight to their final deaths.
Crazyterran wrote: Obyrn in the Shadespire game has gone from a loud, boisteeous warrior to a stone cold, silent killer on his fourth reforging.
So if he isnt golem, he must be close.
Maybe. He may have changed from exposure to constant battle and death. The writer guy on today's stream said something to this effect about stormcast. Context being that he thought it made them interesting that being made a stormcast is a Hotel California type deal.
Many units that in old Fantasy where warmachine-hunters have lost his role in AoS, normally fast skirmish cavalry, etc... If Warmachines come back in full glory they will have again a place.

Most of those units(notably the Dark Riders and Ellyrion Reavers; Glade Riders are gone entirely) have been given things that allow them to fulfill other roles.
Dark Riders, for example, debuff enemy Leadership for Battleshock tests. Reavers can pump out a lot of bowshots so long as enemies aren't in a certain distance.
I remember some guy here trying to make a case of them being discontinued despite them still being up on the sites and thought this was another case of hearsay without checking. So sorry.
EDIT: Upon further looking i think the mane pic doesn't match the model.
It matches the one in the background though, left-middle of the picture, cropped in half, but you can see all of the hair and it includes the three little upward ‘flicks’ from the rumour engine image.
Aelves is what comes to mind too unless there's a surprise 2nd Nurgle release and that things a hideous Pestigor mutation. (Half-serious, Lady Atia said the Pestigor designs were done though she doesn't know they haven't released them. Could be a BloodBowl thing)
Anyways...
I'm going with some kind of drake/wyrm done up in an Asiatic dragon style.
If you look at it, there's what looks like an 'external ear' like most lizards have. Couple that with what looks like a feathered neck and face along with some spiked ridges on the top of the neck and it could be a mount or a warbeast.
Looks more like a close-up of a bird to me. The bottom-right corner looks like the edge of a beak, and you can clearly see what look to be feathers behind the "eye".

Undead Pirates would be just the kind of original idea AoS needs...
Black Scorpion do some good ones and do Reaver IIRC but some ships would be nice - prefer them a bit bigger than the Overlords ones though - or at least if they are that small just say they are minor vessels.
I really don't see anything aquatic about this. I could be doing the same thing here, but a lot of people seem to be finding evidence to fit an assumption rather than the other way around. Now that I look at it, the dark spot is almost certainly a nostril rather than an eye. Seems to be the close-up of the snout on something furry and maybe snarling. Maybe an updated Manticore or the mount of some new hero.

I just put the image in Google, and Google returns black and white pictures of furry animal's snouts. So maybe you are on the right track here?

If you look, the dark spot isn't indicating anything other than a hole with some detail inside of it. The way the 'feathers'/fur look there, it's a painted model so I wouldn't expect anything to be missing. It looks like, as I mentioned earlier, someone looked at a lizard and copied that exposed eardrum.
Don't think of this as the snout in any regards. It really looks like it is the neck for something. Compare it to the Pallador mount here.
Spoiler:
You're looking at the spot where the head and neck meet, with the front part of the photo being the area directly behind the head.
I could see that being an ear hole, Kan (not sure what the actual anatomical name is for that structure on a reptile). I still don't think we're seeing scales, though. GW tends to make scales more symmetrical than this.

Which is why when I posted initially, I commented that it reminds me of a drake/wyrm style creature with a bit of Asiatic dragon feather/fur styling.
Hmm, I took that mention of a squig as a joke but now I could see it as a possibility if this year's plan is to give all four factions something. A new squig to accompany the shaman isn't out of the realms of possibility.
Cawl is replacing space marine bikes with legless hover octopi. Their legs replaced with cawl pattern lasrifles, firing cawl pattern laserbolts. S5 -1 Assault 2 30"
I've just decided that the best way to do things is to expect that every new release is a Space Marine release of some sort. Can't disappoint me if the bar is non-existent.

Wait, octomarines.
Marines with an octopus motif
Octopi are a multilimbed sea creature.
Hydras have multiple limbs and are also aquatic
Alpharius Confirmed.
Definitely a Minstorum Priest or Dialogous, the hand looks Aelven but if it's from these Ulgu Aelves, I imagine their writing to be a bit 'different?' Like it just looks like how humans would scribble writing.
unmercifulconker wrote: Also the arm looks clothed to me, I don't think its a bracelet, it looks a bit baggy.
Is it a left or right hand? To me it looks like a left hand judging by the knuckles and no thumb visible. Normally GW puts texts and weapons in the right hand.
The old Dialogous model did have pretty baggy clothes.
In the Grimdarkness of the Far Future, there are still toilet paper shortages.

I feel like this is a bit presumptive. We don't even really see much of the 'writing'(which let's face it, GW never really details unless it's going to be HUGE text).
So the consensus is that several of the images give off an elvish vibe, the newest one included.
Spoiler:
I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but all of these give me a dragonic vibe more than anything else. Could we be looking at Order Serpentis/Draconis? Or perhaps Darkling Covens, with them getting some attention in the new GHB? The scroll from the new image makes me think of a Dark Elf Sorceress.
I seem to remember one of the rumormongers peddling rumors of two Aelf factions getting updates, could it be a dual update for Orders Serpentis and Draconis or perhaps a single release that smooshes them into a united faction like the Blades of Khorne or Maggotkin?

It is still unsolved according to GW themselves. On Warhammer Community, all released (not announced, but actually released for preorder) rumours are updated with both a picture on article link and a footnote in the article. Unsovled have a rumour engine graphics in the link. Just go to Warhammer Community and use search engine to see what old rumours are still unsolved.
Is it too clean looking to be from an Ork Mek? Since the tire image is clearly an Ork part, perhaps these are part of the rumoured campaign box which is supposed to release along side the Ork codex?

What models from GW hold scrolls?
Did a search on the 3 bits sellers I use and found these.
Kairic Acolytes - This one has all the scroll work cut into it but the rumor one is blank (this could mean it's Sisters related due to the effort put into it by GW...)
Skaven plague monk
Other than these there are a few other like the Flagellant papers, Dark Angels has one and allot of kits have rolled up scrolls: Flagellants, SM, Tzeentch.
I'm actually shocked that only one person so far has pointed out that it resembles skaven parts. That hand is really reminiscent of the rat people. Then again it's also a super close-up of a 2mm wide hand so it could just be the modelling quality.

They could be slaanesh, the one with the dragon/serpent thing, has a similar skin tone to one of the main daemonette colour schemes, the hand also has a black armband which Daemonettes have. (Slaanesh was also known as the serpent to the norscan tribes back in fantasy)
The one with the chains, the handle on the chain looks allot like an icon of slaanesh.
The snake body, gives me a huge Fulgrim vibe.
As for the octopus thing, in the 40k rulebook, mentions a tentacled behemoth as being apart of a Slaanesh daemon army.

Yes, but Morathi herself talks about slithering from the throat of the dark prince, and GW loves their large centrepiece models, so I wouldn't be surprised to see her as a larger version of something similar

It does look good - the current Medusae models are ace and a Goddess version like Allarielle sounds fantastic - hope it happens.
So much more fun than more Stormcast and looking forward to the BL authors bringing her and her elves into the stories!
The only snake people from GW are the Medusae and Sslyth right?
I for one would be extremely happy with lamia models in the game, then perhaps I could do my abhuman guard army
Spoiler:
Is the first post getting updated? Noticed all of the "Unsolved" pictures have actually been solved.
Posted this on facebook so putting it here as well.
So since she "slithered from the thrount (??? or perhaps throne or throat) of the dark prince" does that mean she is related to this?
Wild guess here. Medusa is sometimes depicted as wielding a bow, we have 3 rumor engine pictures that could be related to a medusa model with a bow. September 5th, October 31st and November 14.
This could be snake body but the design doesn't fit the Blood Wracked Medusa nor Sslyth so I'd guess large centerpiece model.
Is this the top of a bow of Elvish design?
A Quiver with arrows with an Elvish design?

Ehhh...they looked like the Medusae that come with the Cauldron of Blood.
Wouldn't be surprised if they made them into a unit with new models.
Still want to know more? At the Las Vegas Open this weekend, we’re holding a Warhammer Community and Studio Preview – which means there might be an exciting reveal or two. Check back on Saturday for the full roundup – you won’t want to miss it…
Probably the horn of a demon/beast head that is hold by a new primaris marine / custodes / sigmarguy...
The big thing is the dual announcement that Disney is buying GW and the addition of the Twi-lek to the list of T’au client species as a test for full integration.
Codex: Wookiee Nation out next year if it goes well…

Based on the last year and a half all you have to do is bet 'Chaos release' and you have a 97% chance of being right.
Yes, not exactly the same arrows.
And the new models indeed have a lot fewer trims than the classic witch elves, so maybe it's not part of that release.
We've heard many rumors of a second aelf army. This quiver and the elfy/eldary fin could match light aelves.

Aren't they all bloodthirsty monsters and religious zealots?
As opposed to the religious zealots that worship Sigmar?
The Daughters of Khaine were allowed to continue their worship in all respects in the Realm of Azyr, they were not purged like Chaos worshippers and Orks. Dark Elves continued to be slavers as well.
Now interested to see what they say Morathi has been and what she has been doing and how /if she communicated with the DoK in Azyr or was there herself as a guest.
Or being a tree/plant/hybrid entity Or living in a volcano and enjoying hitting people
Or liking flying ships and money
Or loving the freedom of oceanic adventure and enslaving others
Or whipping oneself into a frenzy and burning unbelievers

Sylvaneth are actually really bad Order allies too, with entire subfactions (and different subsets of many other subfactions) wanting to straight up kill anything that can't photosynthesise.

Also Order is not automatically "good".
The Daughters of Khaine aren't exactly worshiping in the open from what the Grand Alliance book talked about. They keep their rituals secretive and they dwell in what's called the "Shrouded Districts" in Azyrheim. Nobody knows what they do beyond be really kickass warrior women.
Scourge Privateers also aren't really slavers at this point. They're raiders still, certainly, but they're more monster hunters.
No, they likely will be destruction- unless we are in fact getting chaos elves.
Although the emergence of a new cult that worships an ancient god that no ones heard of could place them in order, but it would be kinda boring I think.

Are GW minis expensive or something?
He makes a fair point as the reason Witch Elves weren't seriously considered when they went plastic is they have a $60 price tag for 10. Low armor, low points cost models that were meant to be swarmed don't fit too great at a high price tag.
If he’s talking about the alleged Cthulhu-elves (further assuming that means elves who worship something equivalent to a Deep One or worse) they would naturally fit destruction as that’s kinda where those guys live. Not Death or Chaos because they don’t care about souls, not Order because they don’t care about structure; they are mathematical chaos (rather than the emotional/mystical Chaos of Moorcock) of the sort that spins butterfly wings into tornadoes.
All predicated on the assumptions above, of course.

The recent malign portents fiction has the sigmarines massacring entire villages for the crime of not being immune to disease. Bloodthirsty monsters and religious zealots are the Order of the day,

As I've seen pointed out elsewhere, Lawful Evil is still Lawful.

So a new empire flagellants kit where one person is carrying a hangmans pole perhaps?
That's a touch on the specific side, but always a possibility. I was thinking more likely something death related with Malign Portents kicking into full swing soon.
Don't be silly, this is clearly fantasy. It's the Thunderstrike Tempesthawk, Sigmar's latest creation that in no way takes design cues from a certain Space Marine flyer.
