Its current enough.

There’s nowt in more recent books that Tzeentch doesn’t.

Well if its current then Chaos only needs Slaves to Darkness to complete their Battletome Roster - assuming that Everchosen is being rolled into a combined slaves book (which the website store suggests is what will happen).

So that means by mid-year we could have two Grand Alliances finished, and Destruction might not take many Tomes to complete them (esp if ogors and orruks get combined tomes, with the former being highly likely).

Tzeentch will just have to join Idoneth and Daughters of Khaine in being without Endless Spells.

Didn't the Daughters put their terrain piece on wheels?

Oh yeah. Forgot that the old Altar of Khaine. I feel like DoK will get so similar spells to the Hedonists. Their evil mask instead of the slaaneshy face, a mirror could fit the theme (one goes with the Medusa), whips go well with them, etc.

Ooh, maybe Dispossed will get a mobile Anvil of Doom.
Or new units.
Or something...

Some "Knights Excelsior" killed some humans corrupted with nurgle plague, to stop it from spreading to other villages and cities. Or when a huge Chaos uprising happened in the city of Vindicarum, The "Celestial Vindicators" went berserk and killed all the cultist, But a lot of the cities population got killed too. https://ageofsigmar.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Stormhosts

Stormcast are people drawn in a moment of death against Chaos who call out or are faithful to Sigmar in that moment. They are then reforged by Sigmar and spent decades training endlessly to fight Chaos.

Whilst they aren't yet at a point of frothing at the mouth they are almost as fanatical against Chaos as Chaos Warriors are. Though Stormcast hide it better, and its not even overt to themselves.

But the more reforgings they go through and the more they fight chaos the more you see those chinks in their will and mental state.

It's a neat dark twist to the army that's supposed to be the most pure and god and akin to an army of angelic humanoids.

They look like spinal column sections.

my first thought was that it looks eldar/aelfish, but the text mentionts tzeentch, who also uses gem stones

A scythe-like weapon points towards death and with the snippet about Nagash freeing one of his old allies, I think this might be Kemmler or Helsnicht.

I missed the text.

It reads:
'There’s no need to strike a bargain with Tzeentch for a look into the future, simply gaze upon the Rumour Engine.'

Maybe a deathrattle realese.

If it is, they'll hopefully take the opportunity to come up with a slightly less idiotic name for the faction than "deathrattle".

Between this, and the tail things from the other week, I’m wondering if we’re seeing a new Mortarch?

Probably not since then they'll have to change too many keywords on old warscrolls.

You'll get less idiotic "Mortarch of", though. They tend to have reasonable names, so a new one won't likely diverge from that.

I'm calling Coven Ynarri.


*Shifty eyes*

What?

Everyone keeps forgetting to mention maggotkin, were not the best army but we deserve endless spells to :(

I wouldn't read much into that bit. They usually have some reference about sorcery--it's just a tongue in cheek reference to fortunetellers.

Looks more and more like it might be related to a text line in May's WD about the Stormvault in the Stormkeep of the Anvils of Heldenhammer containing "an old ally" of Nagash.

 bubber wrote:

Looks like an Aeldari Scythe.

I strongly think it looks like Ynnari too, though I'd believe Tyranids or AoS Death.

Could be a new Maugen Ra?

I suppose he would make for a nice AoS Death character

Nah it doesn't look like it is attached to a gun, which Maugen Ra's weapon is.

I don't think it is anything Eldar related, as the gem could be anything. Leaning more towards AoS myself for this one.

There is no gem. Those are stylised vertebrae and that's a nodule same as the one on the front.

Eldar would probably have a little power pack/ conduit too.

My first guess on seeing that was something for Death Grand Alliance.

After further consideration I think it belongs to a member of The Warcry warband from the realm of Death, since the game's release is coming this Summer.

The spinal bones worked into the shaft look more like AoS than 40k to me. I think deathrattle are getting a battletome and this is one of the endless spells for it.

https://www.twitch.tv/warhammer

What's in the box?

Mechanicum Armigers on rn.

That necronmunda headsman looks awful with the hood change. It looks like they just snipped off the hood, giving him a really weird head shape.

two rumor engines from new admech DT

99% Necromunda Enforcer

That's my reckons too.

it looks like some kind of armour, but it could also be a top view of a part of a bike, where you can see a bit of a wheel sticking out

Does it always have the 'It is said that the Rumour Engine can drive a person to madness! Dare you take a look?' tagline?

If not, and assuming that is a hint, Traitor Guard breastplate?

There's usually something along those lines, yes.

We've seen the Traitor Guard via Blackstone Fortress. It'd use the same assets.


I'm going to call this a Conscripts kit.

Enforcer armour, near certain

There’s always a quote, and it never means anything for what the actual model is.

I like the idea that its an Enforcer, as I'd like to see the Enforcers back in Necromunda.

That said, I'm going out on a limb and saying its a Slaanesh character. Something about that little twist in the armor at the bottom of the pic and the spikey gorget gives me a Chaos feel.

Luckily for you, Enforcers are the next gang.

My first thought was also Enforcers, especially in light of what was said last weekend.

Defo enforcers unless it's the most audacious bit of miss-direction

No Aquila either, or sign of one defaced.

That suggests not IG or Renegades.

Given the Enforcer was the reveal without pictures from the weekend.
It does seem likely.

Could that odd bit at the bottom of the bottom triangle actually be a pouch buckle? If it is the front of some kind of tac vest, it has an interesting configuration where the shoulders meet the chest. GW quite like their pec/boob armour and articulated shoulder pads. This is quite gender neutral and way more slick than usual .

While I dont reject the idea of the latest pic possibly beeing enforcer, my guess is actually a new castellan type ad-mech robot.
It looks like its a domed "head" attached above the collar rather than a space for helmet or bare head.
Also, the sides look really round and bulky.

Perhaps something to wield the mysterious shouldermounted Hepheston weapons from the games day sketch book.
I dont suppose Ad-Mech get just the vehicles as a single release.

I want to say the Necromundan Sump Croc but since that's already out it's got to be an AoS Seraphon hasn't it?

Will we have a lot of Highlord Highlording? we will have to wait an see

Exodites!

Please be the tail of a BB Kroxigor coming in plastic with a spiffy new plastic Lizardman team with HULKING Sauri.

Either Seraphon something, or Exodites.

I'm hoping new cavalry from Seraphon, as the old ones were pants when they came out, and have only aged badly from there.

Easy. Ankylosaurus. New lizzies confirmed.

the old ones come back to 40k and this is one of their new minions

Fingers crossed it's a plastic Salamander/Razordon and Skink Handler kit.

The density of scales leads me to believe it'll be a larger reptile, due to my reptilian prowess.

The question is whether it'll be a Blood Bowl team, Underworlds warband, new Seraphon, or a once proud species relegated to being mounts for some other sucky race.

Seraphon underbellies tend to have a lot less scales though. The top part of that tale makes me think scutes from a crocodile.

I'm sure that photo is laid out specifically to not show off any adornments or decorations that might give us more of a clue what it's from.

I take solace in knowing GW hasn't abandoned their reptiles yet! There's been a lot of 3rd parties lately picking up the slack so it makes me hopeful GW took notice and decided to do something about it themselves!

Something Lizard related seems likely; Blood Bowl, Seraphon, Exodites.

Outside chance.... Malerion?

From the detail it's clear this is Carnosaur sized or larger. Much too big for Kroxis or Salamanders.

Since it's very obviously reptilian and GW doesn't do obvious rumour engine pics, I'm going to say it's not for Seraphon. Maybe Dark Elves, or a random Warcry critter.

Hoping (in vain most likely) for exodites!

I'd love for it to be Seraphon. I have a funny feeling it's going to be for Necromunda or Blood Bowl or maybe even Lord of the Rings as some obscure lizard. I dunno, the detail just seems very Forgeworld to me.

Goblin sky-pirate crocosquig. Used for keeping order on deck, specially bred to not be bouncy like regular squigs so they don’t end up overboard by accident.

Lizardmen blood bowl sounds a good bet.

Looks like a really cool lizard, dragon or dinosaur thing.
It'll probably be an endless spell that does mortal wounds...

It’s for GW’s newly licensed Godzilla game. Same scale as AT.

Every Kaiju nerd knows Godzilla doesn't have scales like that though.

Don't play with my heart like that zend.

New cold one riders for Shadow aelves.

Agreed on the likely size.

Carnosaur



Bastiladon (lovely model. Really should grab one sometime soon. Fancy using it as a Necromunda gribbly, because why the devil not!)



And the rumour pic



Whilst not conclusive, the size does seem to be comparable.

For Seraphon, neither of the first two particularly need a model update, being fairly modern, and nice as they are. In terms of Dino archetypes, there's only really Stegosaurus and Brontosaurus not explored in the Fantasy setting. And that to me doesn't look like it really fits either of those.

So I'm really thinking Exodites. Would be nice to further spread The Soup, given Chaos are getting full blown Knights and that - and quite possibly Traitor Guard, as I cannot accept those lovely sculpts in BSF are all we're ever going to get! Unfair to teases us so, and frankly, a waste of production budget to restrict them to just the one boxed game.

I’m thinking larger sized beast for the Warcry Raptorix gang. Dinos do what Dinos do do.

Doesn't titanicus have a dino hunt thing for knights to do?

The latter, obviously.
Also, there's going to be a plastic Thunderhawk, a return of WHFB and IG sergeants will now the option to take lasguns



Seriously though, if there is a groxboys thing then it would most likely be an add on for Necromunda. I mean, there were already a indian expies in the previous game, so logically if GW wanted to go full western they would have released those guys and cowboy themed models.

I hope it's an exodite and then it corresponds with a 40k release of Vulkan, so that we can re-enact that stupid story where Vulkan is fighting dinosaurs.

New cold ones would be nice, but it does look kinda big for that.

Actually.....Grox.

Possibly something odd for Blackstone Fortress?

Dragon for Elves.

Which Elves? Who knows?

 Mad Doc Grotsnik wrote:

I doubt GW will do something as normal as a 'dragon' ever again.

At best you'll get a 'Stygxxian Dracoform', and it pains me beyond reason that I'm not making that first word up.


Also not incredibly convinced they'll ever touch lizardmen again. The lizard to Seraphon changeover felt like an acknowledgement that it sold units, but held no interest to any of them.

Size of Cows, I think? Not sure if memory of actual description, or headcanon though.

In one story they were around 3 metres long I think? I did a quick search and I find others stating 5 metres as well. So bigger than a cow, but probably not much bigger body if you substract the tail...which is probably a delicacy on some planets.

PS: Now I really want some grox herders against Kroot or Orks for Kill Team or a board game

latest image:

So today we have what looks like the back of someone with leather straps and some pustules. So possible some more nurgle

My first guess would be something for Warcry.

Goliath Juve or Specialist?

Also, could be their front and those are nipples and the bottom of a scraggly beard.

A Scavvy Scaley, or whatever the big guys were called with the harpoons.

 Yodhrin wrote:

This guy has it in one, from what it looks like.

Warcry barbarian #47

If that's a nipple it's about a million miles off his right pectoral.

Chaos baby, Chaos!!!

(Or, you know, a Squig.)

New elves for AoS,

with all the spots and boils you know the pointy ears deserve

Looks like metal nails shoved into the back. Definitely the back of a model.

Probably Darkoath

Darkoath Ogre mayhap?

I reckon it’s a pirate with his pet parrot’s tail dangling down his back.
Or some equivalent combination of entities for a known faction.

The traitor ogryn they announced for BSF Has a pretty similar style of leather straps, and the bulky body/skincondition look similar too.
So perhaps some kind of ogre, for one of the games.

Maybe it's a Dragon Ogor of some kind.

Looks like a goatee beard so im going some sort of beastman

I feel like that's the back, so we're looking at a ponytail/ speed mullet scenario.

Maybe a nurgle warband for Shadespire? It's one of the missing factions and the third season is meant to be coming.

Upon saying that I'd love new ogres of any sort.

I surprised no one has posted this yet. Looks like we got the peg leg and the feathered hat solved.

Pretty sure those were posted months ago when those minis were shown off at the NY toy fair.

I reckon the dinosaur looking one could be an endless spell for Seraphon.

Indeed. Though to be fair the thread doesn’t get updated with the pictures every time we get one solved, sometimes not for ages.

Someone over on Bolter and Chainsword pointed out that this:



Could be the back of this guys collar:



Edit: in fact, the video shows that it is:

Wow, and that was a super old pic. From before we even knew BSF existed, I think?

today's pic:

Another stargate/warpgate/portal?

or terrain for Warcry?

Those runes look more Aeldari than chaosy. My brain goes first to the rubble that Harlequins come standing on.

They look like Eldar runes.

Humongous scenic base for a skinny elf riding a humongous creature?

they have that striking resemblance to the ruin scenic bases for harlequin blisters ... and that eldrad ... so my bet is harlie wave 2 or eldar

They look more like fantasy elf runes than 40k Eldar to me; Eldar runes are heavy on straight lines and triangles.

I stand corrected. Clearly Harlequins have their own font.

I haven't bought a 40k model since Aos started but an Eldar Exodite army has been my dream since the Mike McVey diorama from years ago.

Tail. Not Tale.

What is wrong with my grammar lately!

They look more elf than eldar to me, but I suppose that's a fine distinction. Eldar stuff tends to have more triangles.

EDIT: Okay, now that I've seen the latest messages, it does look very much like the harlequin runes.

 Albino Squirrel wrote:

Then again, if it is meant to be "civilian" writing from a ruin instead of runes indicating war-related things, that might explain the difference.

The potential is there, due to the split between all the Aeldari factions early on. There will always be the potential that they split off slightly "language" wise when they fled the Empire before it fell, or that they use a "purer" version of the language.

Have we seen those symbols on Harlequins, or just on the ruins they're perched on?

The ruins they're perched on aren't supposed to be Exodites, it's supposed to be stuff on Crone Worlds.
So far we've only seen these runes on their ruins, not on the Harlequins themselves.

We're running low on old factions to bring back to 40k

Exodites, Arbites, Inquisition, Rogue Traders...

Maybe Ork clans or feral orks.

And that's all I've got.

Seriously tho, if it's Crone Worlds, that's just Eldar houses from a couple of generations ago. So it could be anything Eldar.

The one line left that needs filling out is Craftworld Eldar. We need plastic kits for all the Aspect warriors and Exarchs. 20 year old fine cast figs just aren't cutting it.

It's without question something Eldar, but most likely Harlequin if we're doing all that shattered scenery. Exodites would be a long reach - but GW is fully on the "new micro-armies sell better than new models!" approach...so I wouldn't put it past them.

Beakie Primaris?

Time is on GW's side. When they're done with Rogue Trader, Tau will be so old that their slave races are considered classic or old and GW can get to work on those.

It's Ynnari

my first thought when I saw it was the chaos Nocilith crown. it's got that same feel of a circle with runes stamped on it. the runes are eldar clearly but could it be something along that idea?

the runes also match the runes on the head of the big monster thing that Olynder and the Celestant Prime are fighting over.

I hope this is the update that Eldar players have been waiting and asking for. New Avatar, Phoenix Lords, and Aspect Warriors are sorely needed for Craftworld.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if it was new Harlequin units, Exodites, or a new incarnation of Marneus Calgar.

However, I have some confidence that this could actually be true. It certainly fits the overall quirky retro stuff they have been doing recently.

I think Blackstone Fortress is a way for GW to effectively add these fun little creatures into the miniature range without making an army out of them. Especially if those armies are long dead lore-wise. A galaxy this big always has outliers, like what we have with UR-025. Zoats were wiped out mostly.

I’m most expecting stuff like a Grox or an Enslaver appearing as part of some enemy expansion, similar to what we had with the ambull

It is. It's a great medium to add in stuff that might not fit a big general release, and the game itself is a lot of fun. I'd love to see more tiles added for more maps in the future as well.

What it will be, part of a scenic base for a primaris space marine fighting on an eldar world and a big middle finger to the non marine players....

In reality it will most likely end up being a garbage tier ynari/harlequin character... or something AOS.. :(

However this is the first time I am actualy excited about a rumour and if it is what I hope it it I will actually pre-order from GW and let them take all my money for the first time lol.

Sad thing is, they had potential new, original faction (instead of just endlessly rehashing old stuff) in Second Imperium mooks but for some utterly inane reason they squashed that plotline in obscure, unimportant side book by new author. Because what we got instead, boring single Space Marine chapter pointlessly sitting on their butts last 10.000 years doing nothing, is totally what the setting needed, eh?

What new faction was squated in what side book?

Does Araloth count as a prominent elf for AoS?

He's now just a "Nomad Prince" model.

Time will tell. Knowing GW, it could just as well be a Stormcast Eternal with a decorated aelven base. :/

Its clearly Aeldari ruins on the base of daemon Fulgrim.

I want it so bad to be Aeldari related but alas it probably won't be. Since i started wh40k back in 2006 they never gave us (Craftwolrd eldar) new minis :C

That’s not true, they’ve had new models since then. They just still have a lot of old models left too.

it's not a troll, just seletctive memory. that and a sense that it wasn't a massive model line revamp so "it doesn't count" I've got a friend who plays Necrons, who often complains that necrons haven't gotten anything new in forever, I've occasionally pointed out the plastic Cryptic but I understand what he MEANS

Yea i'm not native so my point doesn't always come across! i apologize! you're right they remake us some models in resin but the design was the same of 2006 if i'm not mistaken

No, Craftworld Eldar have had quite a few models since 2006. The current design of the Aspect Warriors was 2006 or 2007 ish, along with the plastic War Walker and Wraithlord, and then since then there's been plastic jet bikes, big gun platforms, the fliers, Wraithknight, various characters, Wraithguard, Fire Prism.

Ah good new everyone! my bad sorry

I really wouldn't be too surprised if that happens, it makes sense. One wonders if we'll get a few weird Xenos bits for BSF - Hrud, or Tarellians? A space Slaan? They could use it to move some of the remaining Kroot to plastic too. It's an opportunity to do small groups or individuals without needing to do large ranges.

I'm kind of hoping stuff like Tarellians show up as Adventurers. Relatively minor, but otherwise fighty species would likely be attracted to Precipice, and the joys it offers.

Hrud? Would have to be antagonists, as the fluff I'm aware of very much paints them as an infestation, so unlikely to travel in low numbers.

If we're wish-listing, I want to see some Loxatl!

As much as I'd prefer it to be Aspect Warriors (maybe a decorative base for an Exarch), I'd be ok with it being Fulgrim. Both Fulgrim and Angron need playable minis if nothing more than completion sake (why are Tz & Nurgle so special to have their Primarchs out?)
Throw in 1 more Loyalist Primarch and call it a day for playable Primarchs. And it's ok for Chaos to have more playable Primarch since big Monsters are part of their schtick.

Tell that to my ex.

Things we know will come soonish is Sisters of Battle, Chaos Knights, Ad-Mech and Iron Hands named character (probably bringing more primaris).
And It feels likely Emperors Children will follow the recent Daemon release.


In a possible large campaign with these factions, and with this latest rumor pic, it would be cool to see SoB going up against Ynnari instead of Slaanesh, just as an example.
Come to think about it, Slaanesh would really want in on that fight too

Hopeful its something Craftworlds related.

all rumor engines still unrecognizable ...

Seeing it all together, I suddenly have a feeling a lot of those will end up being the Shyish themed Warcry gang.

Top row, 3rd pic. Scales from the new Sylvaneth endless spell worm thing

Isn't the bottom right corner from abbys base?

Scythe, Bone Tentacles and Skin Cloak?

I'm thinking....

Heinrich Kemmler returns? And the Ghostie bit. Possibly as a new Mortarch of Zombies.

My guess is Seraphon.

 Red Corsair wrote:

nop

The smoke bomb and the satchel with two power cables coming out look like they'll be from future multi-part kits of the units from Shadowspear.

Smoke Bomb is from the new Reiver type Marines I thought? The ones from Shadowspear?

Bloke on the left?

Probably from a proper kit for them. It's not the same smoke grenade from Shadowspear - the plume is different.

Isn't the spear from WarCry?

Spear and scythe are probably warcry related, as is what looks like the back of a mini with straps.

Dragon head and horn could be some new high elves.

 Gael Knight wrote:

Nope, or not that we’ve seen anyway.

It looks very much like the current Ungor spears.

Well over inthe blood bowl thread there’s rumors that there’s a zoat Bloodbowl figure coming out, has name listed. I think that’s our lizard tail and the newer rumor with the crossed straps on the chest(possibly back).

Definitely doesn’t match the chest, and I don’t get a forge world feel from the tail.

That’s assuming they’ve even started sculpting the Zoat yet.

Wow. Even if its just a bloodbowl figure, that's going to reset a lot of clocks.

We're going to hear rumors about GW 'bringing back X model/range' forever.

I'd buy a Zoat, even if it was intended for Bloodbowl.

Wouldn't be the first time I've had to modify a sports mini for far more grisly purposes...

Of course I'd need even more Zoats after that.

If they ever bring back a zoat, I HAVE to hope they would roll out a plastic BB Fimir...

Remember folks, when the Zoat comes out, buy it!

The more weird and wonderful we actually buy, the more we'll get in the future.

At least, that's the theory

But imagine that. An actual Zoat!

Really? Where's the Chaos frog mutant? Or any of their other star oplayers except Lord Borak.

Now, four out of the ten players for Wood Elves are already available with one more shown off at Warhammer Fest, so perhaps the Zoat will be soon, but I'm not holding my breath.

Thats or Ogors, either makes sense as the next destruction book for this year.

I agree it looks ogor and ork/orruck

Choppa +2(f)

I'm going to disagree and say Chaos to be contrarian. Looks like a blade with two cutting edges widening towards the hilt or if it's a spear the stick thingy. With addd metal bits because brutal.

today's image:



Warcry? Or gobbo?

Looks like a wooden shaft, so most likely a glaive considering the size.
I say chaos ogor to go with the Darkoath.
Or possibly part of a brutal warmachine of some sort.

The bolted on teeth to the weapon remind me very much of the cleaver the Ironjawz Brutes gain access to, it had the exact same looking thing on the very end of it

I picture a Vincent Price like character operating a giant death pendulum, Pit and the Pendulum style!

 Zontarz wrote:

Ogor Ironguts have a similar weapon style on their great weapons. Definitely destruction or Warcry. I don’t think it could be anything else.

I think the image is inverted. I’m going with Warcry.

First thought is fatties but I could see this going towards Ironjawz or some sort of greenskinz.

I'd prefer Ogors but I doubt whatever it is would be compatible with all the current stuff.

If we were getting Chaotic Castellans or Armigers, I feel like we would have seen them during the preview video.

Also, if it were Chaos, the center of that cog would have probably had an eyeball or tentacle poking out. :lol:

Perhaps there's more AdMech stuff on the horizon? They already have the Manipulus datasheet and the two Dunerider datasheets outside of a codex.

They explicitly said we aren’t getting Chaos kits for the Armiger and Castellan at Warhammerfest, and the ones in the video we’re converted with bits from the Chaos Knight and the chaos vehicle sprue.

Probably Chaos Knights. Maybe Dark Mech. The cog has eight teeth rather than the standard twelve.

Looking at the range of motion of this joint, there's an arm to the left which can only swing from horizontal left to vertical downwards. Definitely could be for a dozer blade.

It really reminds me of the groin armor on a Creature Caster model of all things. Their Lord of Malice model.

Seems like too many jewels or whatever to be Eldar Soulstones.

Well.... it COULD be something Eldar, and have something to do with that runic looking rmumour pic from before.. It COULD.. you never know!

Nah who am I kidding. I think its something AOS... Probably those fishmen elves.. .

Maybe it's a huge elk thing with a furry throat and a luxurious mane? And magic crystal razors for antlers, because high fantasy.

I would be weird if gw suddenly did a normal animal, but ther is a tiny possibility it could be an endless spell horse for DoK, or a ghost horse of some sort -the black coach is still pulled by seemingly "ordinary" skeletal horses.

Most likely though, a Snarlpaw Swifthoof.

edit: Tyrion reimagined as a young god might get an impressive steed to represent the noble Malhandir, or perhaps Malhandir might get reimagined as an elven luckdragon, spirit of freedom kind of guy. Would fit right in with the age of Sigmar right?

I mean, nothing about what you said makes me upset for my Wanderers. We already had that before in the form of the Great Stag for Wood Elves...it was a shame we lost that option!

You know, what puzzles me is how little RE images are there hinting at Vanguard marines despite them apparently getting update soon. Other armies had good 4-6 images per release (and like 30+ for CSM), yet I see nothing that would really point at new SM. GW doesn't want hype for their best known range?

Glade Riders were plastic kits dumped at the launch of AoS. I would be surprised to see them come back.

Frankly, for Wanderers I'd expect something like:
-Plastic Spellweaver

If its like the troggoth for Gloomspite they could get a lot of milage out of one kit for the army if it has enough variable parts.

somehow it realy feels like slaves to darkness/darkoath to me

I'm thinking Slaves to Darkness/Everchosen. The crowns are clearly meant to be nobles of some sort and that's a bit specific of a head than just 'generic human'. Soulblight would also fit, although the hooks do seem more of a Chaos thing.

Quite a few, especially chaos, undead and orcs and goblins.
Nurgle has a special use for severed heads, but those tend to be less fresh.

Like others, I expect a darkoath or warcry model for this. These arent ogre sized hooks.

It's the realization that if you scalp the head you just took, you get two trophies out of a single kill.

Yeah, the AoS setting is bogus like that. The near-infinite nature of the Mortal Realms means that outside of the actual gods, no standing is so significant that you would ever be in short supply of people holding it.

Having your personal king's head trophy literally doesn't mean a thing in AoS.

It's a bit too clean for the Ogors. Their stuff tends to be larger hooks from what I've seen.

The Zombie Dragon has some skulls on chains/hooks that would match this. Tenebrael Shard also had similar hooks.

Could be a king and a prince. They killed the entire royal family. Not as far fetched as two kings.

Robot head?

Looks more like a sensor array from a tank turret, or maybe a fancy special character backpack

Imperial Targetting system of some description.

Could be shoulder mounted, ala the Devastator Sarge, but I suspect tank mounted.

What tank?

Possibly the Grav Rhino all blurred out during the comedy vid from the other week?

Johnny 5 is alive!

I almost posted that...

On the previous one, Dark Elves used to do both hooks and separate heads, though it does feel more fitting for some Chaos champion who has bested some rivals, or indeed an Ogre of sorts.

it's for sure to go with the additional vanguard release for primaris. The antennae match the Infiltrators so I expect this is an addition to the tank or dread.

The former. Several vehicles already have a similar thing, this just has more gubbinz. Something something primaris vehicle, I expect.

Maybe the new Primaris Devastators they teased a couple of weeks ago?

Very similar to various dread optics:



Dunno if I'd expect it to be a primaris dread, seeing Redemptor ones are integrated into the side of shell, unless that new scout dread has extra gubbinz to show off its scoutiness. Also, either WC is being really lazy with promotion of Vanguard, or the release is fall at the earliest...

You mean the Infiltrators and the Eliminators with Lasfusils?

It looks like the 'array' on the back of the manned Dread from that same video.

I dunno, there was something else in the photo on the right side that really struck me as "devastator aggressors" or something like that. It was so blurry though.

It’s an armoured targetin’ squig!

I also get a Skitarii feeling from it.

Primaris Signum...

I believe it's a targeter doodad that goes on top of a Primaris backpack. I'm hoping it's part of an Imperial/Crimson Fists upgrade sprue. Since they messed up the sprue in the xmas Imperial Fists Battleforce box, the insignia on the Powerfist was mirrored, I'm hoping they finally get around to releasing the sprue corrected.

However I suspect it's more likely part of a raft of new Primaris minatures that we really don't need. I have nothing against Primaris or new Primaris units, but ancillary products like more of the chapter specific shoulder pads would be nice.
