Definitely possible. Sure, the comet screams Sigmar, but the staff on the whole is a little less ornate than pretty much every staff in the Stormcast line (unless it's just the bottom of a staff!).
Could just as easily be something from Collegiate Arcane or Devoted of Sigmar.
Oh, who am I kidding. It's probably more stormcast that will inevitably come out and be "okay" and then immediately nerfed.

Agree. Court of the Blind King did expand upon Idoneth a lot more than the Tome did. There is just so much material in that society that could be reflected better on the tabletop.

It is in fact a new entry in the long-defunct Warhammer Historical line, specifically for the Warhammer Ancient Battles system and represents the first in a new range of miniatures supporting the new expansion to the Armies of Chivalry rules Bushido, covering medieval Japan and surrounding nations. Specifically it is a tamed Giant Enemy Crab, with special flipping rules to represent its one true weakness.

Sadly this is the case for just about every army.
Clan moulder is a prime example.
Throughout time they have described them as creating uncountable numbers of different beasts that they commonly use.
In game we have: Rat ogres, giant rats, abomination, wolf rats (now gone), brood horror (again, gone) and the crossover clan fiends.
That’s literally it.
Going back a time their was an entire WD that added new much needed beasts.
As a moulder player it really does suck to have barely any options for an army that’s meant to have an endless amount.

It's my (uninformed) opinion that AOS has the scope and freedom to allow for random idiosyncratic archetypes, like..say...part of a realm that is a giant monstrous butter-pit, a hell for malevolent crustaceans who snipped at the chef one too many times. As they all attempt to climb out, the slipperiness of the butter and their comrades pulling them back means none of them ever succeed; the proverbial crab-bucket.
This will of course be installed next to another pit where chef's have their arms restrained by rubber-bands as giant lobster-people loom over them, looking for the next juicy morsel.

Moulder is, currently, a subfaction. You're no more an army than Shadowblades are for Cities of Sigmar.

Something like that feels like something that would have come out with the Seraphon book that just came out. Something from a side game feels more likely for that reason.

Sure it feels more likely, but it's not unheard of for units to be released outside of the book.
Look at the Flesh Hounds and Karanak, for example.

Post by: highlord tamburlaine
I agree with the thinking it's for a side game.
I'm fine with that though!
Only reason the hounds and karanak released when they did was probably due to already being available in the boxed set previously which was pretty well hyped up.

Which doesn't really matter, given that the warscroll cards could be included in a big boxed set potentially.
People seem to forget that AoS isn't as bad as 40k when it comes to "must have books". Most of what we 'need' when playing AoS is available on the Warscroll Cards, and the bits we don't get on them? Things like points, etc?
That can be written down in your list.

We are due for Seraphon in Underworlds. Them and savage orruks would have been obvious choices for Beastgrave, so hopefully they'll pop up. (I'm guess with Deepkin and that Bonelord scythe)

No one forgets that, but how often do releases actually come not tied to books? Especially which aren’t followed pretty closely by a book that does have those rules?

Blightwar, Wrath & Rapture, etc. Carrion Empire and Feast of Bones marked the first time that the books were released within a relatively short timeframe of each other, but both instances also were worth mentioning as one faction saw model releases while the other did not outside of the big box. Looncurse doesn't count one way or the other since Sylvaneth had huge delays and Looncurse also came out after the Gloomspite Gitz. And hell, if you want to get technical about it? Any of the warbands for Underworlds.

Wrath and Rapture wasn’t too long before the Khorne and Slaanesh books, ditto Blightwar and the Nurgle one. Looncurse was after Gloomspite, but the new model for Gloomspite was a resculpt, not a new unit like Skink Horned One riders would be.
And any of the warbands for underworlds is exactly what I’m saying this is likely to be, so... thanks, I guess?

That doesn't really work though. We can't say it was close to the release date, since these pics could be several months away from being revealed, if not longer. (Most likely longer due to corona)
Unless they just reveal it at the next Warhammer preview weekend. And even then, it could be for the specialist games. Which are still usable in AOS, but not the sole intention of that release

It being for specialist games is exactly what we’re saying. It could be several months from being released, but if it’s for Seraphon just for AoS, they most likely would have tied it in to the book that’s just come out (even if it’s a while from release, they’d have been working on both concurrently, and they must have known that there’d be some disappointment about the Seraphon book coming with no new models). Hence why I think it being for underworlds or Warcry is pretty much certain this close to the Seraphon battletome.

Hedonites of Slaanesh came out April 2019.
Blades of Khorne came out March 2019.
Wrath and Rapture came out December 2018.
That's "not too long" to you? Admittedly with Karanak and the Flesh Hounds, it was a matter of simple sculpts--same with the Fiends of Slaanesh.
But the Infernal Rapturess was a brand new unit, whose rules only existed in that boxed set in a physical format with the models or as a digital download for anyone who wanted to convert one up.
The Underworlds warband example was specifically noting that they all receive rules for AoS independent of their books.

So the temple didn't come with the Seraphon book?
I get that people might be disappointed that there weren't new units or the like--but it very well could be relating to things coming further down the line, where there being rules included won't be seen as a big deal.
Horned Ones being ridden by Skinks as an alternate build for Saurus Knights? That would fit the bill.

I've been running the Techpriest Manipulus, Secutarii Peltasts, and Skorpius variants using their respective rules that are only available via download(Secutarii Peltasts) or from their boxed sets(Manipulus from the Killteam and Skorpius from their instruction manuals) since their releases.
I think people would get along juuuuuuuuust fine having a physical warscroll card available that they can just tuck into their book.

After the Shadow Elves preview, a dedicated Lizardpeople warband for Warcry does seem like a good shout.

No weird big headed Skinks and no clothed lizards please...

It's almost certainly an Underworlds Seraphon release.
With that sort of staff, it is likely a priest of some sort, or maybe the back banner bits of an Eternity Warden. However, the foreground bits look maybe like the back of a Salamander. With Underworlds it's hard to say--could be a mix of Saurus/Skink or whatever.
I wish it was a regular unit release. There are several Seraphon units that are in dire need of updates. Who knows!

Clearly Flesheater to follow up the clearly Ossiarch, clearly Lizardman and probably Idoneth.

Soulblight and FEC are being combined into a single tome. It would make all the Soulblight kits useful and establish the Vampire/Ghoul faction better. FEC kits also have a few dual/multi-kits - like Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon and Vargheists - that would make sense to be in a single book.

Well warcry warbands are full units. The chaos warbands are limited by the theme of them being aspirants who haven't sworn to a god yet. There is no reason why gw couldnt do a pretty interesting specialist unit for the fec aos army.

Well warcry warbands are full units. The chaos warbands are limited by the theme of them being aspirants who haven't sworn to a god yet. There is no reason why gw couldnt do a pretty interesting specialist unit for the fec aos army.
The Chaos Warbands are also limited by them putting all of the constituent parts of the warband into a single unit rather than letting you get a few heroes and a unit out of them.
I'm wondering if maybe this is a Warcry band for Ghyran. Some of the Spites from back in the day for Wanderers had two finger+thumb and they weren't exactly unknown from having bone as elements of design.

Also, skinks are natural artisans; even if a skink was somehow inclined to make a tool out of a random femur, they would do it better. At the very least it would be decorated, probably with glyphs or gold. This looks crude, like it was smashed with a rock rather than carved with a knife.
Interestingly it does look almost like those fingers have extra joints, they’re certainly disproportionately long for most of the Warhammer species. They look familiar too but I can’t place them exactly.

Yeah, but that would mean Hedonites of Slaanesh would need a whole new book if we go by the reaction people had to my suggestion of waiting for rules on Seraphon.
The best bet, currently, is to look at these as something for WarCry. We've seen an Ossiarch Bonereaper, a Seraphon, the Khainite Shadowstalkers, a Flesh-Eater Courts(or Vampire) piece, a Nurgling piece, and at least a few that look like they are Order related.
It seems like there's a plan in place to add some fresh stuff in the form of 'supplemental warbands'.

Blood gem on the bracelet and on the sword blade, so I'm thinking vampires (they did get a tease in that warcom newspaper article). Newer incarnation of models seem to be a good indicator of the direction they're going with. The most recent vampire was the one on zombie dragon, and his shoulder pads are pretty plain. The sword he wields is completely different in design, though, and doesn't match any current vampire model.

Post by: Kanluwen
This release schedule begs to differ:
There was 3 years between them and their second iterations.
Admittedly, there was stuff from General's Handbook for those three that effectively remade them to the same extent as a whole new battletome. That might be what you are thinking of?
13817
Post by: Carlovonsexron
Alongside sigvald, I think the blade reminds me a bit of the splintered fang warband for warcry, and I think chaos mortals going forward (for the next few years at least) will have certain design elements in common with them.
To be clear, the little 'wings' from the blade remind me a bit of the spikes on the splintered fang blades.

Damn good catch, but it's worth mentioning that they're meant to be representative of mortals (in general) from the various Realms. The Elf here is rocking exactly what you're talking about-- and the sword looks like a rapier to boot! There's also this punch dagger: The rest tend to be serpentine blades.
123233
Post by: GaroRobe
It'd be cool if the warcry bands got specific hero options, sort of like Necromunda. But none of the Splintered Fangs have gems that match those on the model. I'd imagine we'd see their fang marks on the armor, or at least a more obvious snake icon. I think a few other chaos models have similar winged blades (although the SF have the closest looking one.)
It's worth noting that a majority of vampires with swords have those kind of hand guards (I don't know the proper term. Rapier like handles?)

I think you're missing what the context was:
So far the only thing we have seen with that specific setup has been a Ghyranite warband. Splintered Fangs hail from Ghyran(the Realm of Life) and their equipment seemingly reflects that.
It's not unlike the Corvus Cabal, who are scavengers dwelling in Ulgu(Realm of Shadow) wearing pieces of armor that we now know come from the Khainite Shadowstalkers:
These groups all have something, per what the range designers said, that denotes where they are from.

We don’t know they’re from the Khainite Shadowstalkers. We know that the armor style is worn by two Warbands from Ulgu now. That’s it.

We know that the Cabal are scavengers. We also know that only the 'top 3' models(Spirestalkers and Shadow Piercer) have those specific pieces--and that those are the ones who get first picks from spoils in the lore. We have seen nothing else with those particular stylings as of yet. Not from art nor models.

It could also be a mix of new Warcry warbands and Underworlds warbands from next season (I almost guarantee that Bonereaper weapon will belong to the an Ossiarch Underworlds warbands - I imagine they will probably be in the next season starter).

I knew it didn't look quite like a basket-hilt, but I wasn't sure what the proper term for it was.
I actually don't know what the style is called, but the actual bit of a hand guard that curves over the knuckles to the hilt is called a knuckle bow, and can be found in many different styles of hand guards from the end of the medieval period to when swords died out in the early 20th century as practical weapons. It is more of a name for a component than a style, like saying hilt, or blade, or quillon.
The basket hilt is really an evolution of the knucklebow into a much wider guard, but knuckle bows never went away because they are simple, light, easy to produce, and don't obstruct the hand too much when drawing or wielding the sword. There are even a small number of two-handed swords from the 16th century with knucklebows, but they are rare (mostly of the "Swiss saber" type).

It's worth looking at the image from the community home page. Since the stupid logo on the actual image cuts off a lot of the top of the image. I suppose it doesn't matter, but the full image shows it's a hollow circle with some more cracks around it. And what looks like a similar indent beside it.
It could be the three circle Nurgle mark, but the spacing seems off

The fist looks just like a chaos terminator fist, so perhaps a new generic termie lord for chaos, to match the new kit. Either way, strange they plan more chaos infantry releases now. I hope its EC or WE finally getting some attention.

I'm almost positive it's just the shield laying on top of a sarcophagus. We've seen that some of these shields have skeletons on the front, usually those carried by higher ranked marines. So it makes sense that they'd either honor this dead guy in the box OR he's in stasis and was deemed essential enough to be put in a redemptor, where he'll evidently burn out.
As for the serfs, we've had similar looking guys show up in artwork as far back as Dark Imperium. I could see them being released in the same vein as models like the Dark Apostle or Fabius Bile, but at the moment, I wouldn't pay them too much heed.

Yeah, the gunner is a Techmarine.

Just look at the smug devious expression of that servo skull, just vaiting to strangle its presumed master at Cawls given signal.
The weird markings on the forhead looks positively heretical.

Looks kind of beat up and ramshackle. Orks? Maybe Death Guard?

Post by: Gremore
My mind immediately went to Orks and/or Chaos. I'm not sure what Orks still need, lack of knowledge of the line on my part, but for Chaos I can imagine maybe it isn't Death Guard specific but an update of something like a Defiler or other older plastic kit?

Doesn’t look dirty enough for nurgle and it’s a bit too uniformed for orks.
I want to say it’s AoS because of the shape of them pipework but it’s too ramshackle for anything empire like but too clean still for skaven.

Those flared joints makes me think it's not for Orks, feels more AoS to me. Skaven?

Bottom left hand corner similar to Terminator Armour?

Post by: lord_blackfang
Yeah this doesn't look like any established aesthetic in the GW line. And it looks like the wonky smoke stacks are bolted onto a more refined, mass produced chassis. Something you would see on a looted vehicle, except that the bolted on parts don't look at all like orky smoke stacks.

The pipe seem to be bolted onto the back of a terminator armour, also theres a little piece on the bottom left that look like the edge of a pauldron

Post by: Mad Doc Grotsnik
Agreed they’re definitely bolted onto something ‘more proper’.
But looking again, I don’t think it’s Terminator Armour.

Myguess
-Chaos
pipes look a little lilke the front pipes on chaos knights, could be either Dark mechanicus, New death guard. Top chasis looks like either tartaros pattern terminator armour, or a contemptor dreadnought top. Or possibly its a new sonic dreadnought using contemptor as base rather than hellbrute, but I doubt it, the pipes are not spooky enough.
There have been a few things recently looking like death guard, though id be surprised if they got a new release, Their line feels pretty complete. My guess is probably something dark mechanicum.
-Orks
Possibly something looted but going by the wartrikes the pipes are too ramshackle and disorganised for orks and whats its grafted to is too clean. Ork pipes in modern kits seem to be one of the few parts of the vehicles the lads build properly while the chasis they are attatched to is ramshackle.

Heavy, industrial but too clean for Deathguard and not ramshackle enough for Orks would make me think of Necromunda - House Orlock and perhaps the mining guild, is next book due out there.

The knotted fabric through the hole makes me think of that Khainite Warcry war band ..

Post by: Gremore
I think that's just the handle extending to the pommel of the blade. You can see the four finger-wrapped fist around the handle, then handle, then pommel.
As for the fabric I agree, though I feel the Wyches in Drukhari have some flourishes like that as well. Of course I might just be wishful thinking here.

The glove and blade suggests Lelith Hesperax, but the ribbon looks a bit Harlequin.
Just a thought on Lelith being part of the Ynnari. Could Geedubs be working on a new battlebox with Ynnari on one side, and Lelith as an exclusive model? Out of all the Phoenix Lords and Aspects they decided to revisit it was the Ynnari-related Jain Zar and the Banshees, so maybe they are focusing on Ynnari models for the time being...
If the intent was to update the Craftworld range, would Asurmen have made more sense being as the Dire Avengers were already in plastic, and is the primary Phoenix lord? Hmmm.

That's a drukhari knife if it's anything 40k related. My guess would be updated lelith model to get her out of finecast.
Though it's got a lot of armor on to be lelith.
101214
Post by: Mr_Rose
Drukhari or Ynnari (they don’t insist you change your style when you join) for sure but I don’t see Lelith joining the march of the dead (she’s so set on self-reliance she doesn’t even take combat stimms; praying to a god for power is beneath her) so someone new. Or, yeah, the Warcry thing.
If it is Ynnari though, it could be the first of a unique line of minis with the same hybrid style as the Visarch (just, yknow, way less face-y) because that sleeve doesn’t half look like it could have come off a Guardian…

Jain Zar and Lelith and the Midnight Sorrow Solitaire literally joined the Ynnari in Blood of the Phoenix (though you none can be legally played as Ynnari by the rules).

Do most Dark Eldar have nails that long though? They almost look like claws.
Makes me want to lean towards Skaven.
The hooks and barbs on a blade is something they've had going on for a long time too.

We know that we did not see all of the Shadowstalker warband for WarCry...it would be a bit strange to see more previews now but eh.
Might be Shadowstalker, might be Malerion's Elves, or might be Drukhari. The gloved look kinda rules out Skaven I feel.

Its either a drukhari dagger, or another drukhari dagger.
But what does that mean? Aeldari already had a release less than 6 moths ago. And that was even partly a drukhari release at that. Someone at GW HQ messed up.

Despite what I said earlier, I think my hypothetical money is on it being a new plastic Lelith Hesperax.
EDIT: In fact, look at her current model's 360 view on GW.com. It's her left-hand knife, just held overhand rather than underhand and with the addition of a ribbon (which will be a red ribbon to mark her Ynnari alegiance). The 'thumb-claw' is actually the foremost spike on her bracer.

Jain Zar, Howling Banshees, Drazhar & Incubi (as individual boxes - Blood of the Phoenix was a few months earlier).

I feel this one almost certainly belongs to the Khanite Warcry band coming up. Could be Dark Eldar also I suppose.....but It seems unlikely to me.
It could be Malerion's Elves also, but I feel like we've had a glut of new elves in AoS in the last few years. Sea Elves, Tree Elves, Light Elves, Snake Elves........I have a feeling we won't get new elves for AoS this year or next with maybe an exception of a kit or two to expand one of the already existing ranges.

The hand is facing palm down, those are knuckle studs.
The blade is also a 1:1 match for all the other Dark Eldar knives.

I admit I was refering to the Phonix release but did not check my facts, my bad.
Thing is, I tried to make a joke. As this thread is mostly silly speculation anyway, I figured it would not do much harm.
It had to do with the notion that xenos dont get alot of releases, and the general understanding that a recent release for a non marine faction set them at the far end of GWs "to do list".
More spcifically, the "someone messed up" joke had to do with a semi serious conspiracy theory about GW having an (evil) policy in keeping xeno releases few and far between, thus "someone messed up" and authorized new stuff this close to their latest release.
Well explaining it, I realize it was perhaps not that funny or original.
