The front clearly says Deathrattle. Revenant Legions is probably just a cute descriptor for Death armies.

Wait a minute... The top says "Revenant Legions". What could that mean?

Hopefully it means a re-name to 'Deathrattle' and 'Deadwalker' factions. I cringe every time I read the latter.

They could be doing what they did with Tzeentch and Khorne and combining some of the forces to make them easier to field. The Bloodbound are still Bloodbound, and Daemons are still Daemons, but they can now be fielded together without losing bonuses.

Ooooh the revenant legions of nagash? That would be a cool name, perhaps this is the name of our tome akin to disciples of tzeentch and blades of khorne. Since many of the death's units have abilities that work cross faction.

So will the reboxed skeletons be released with a new Deathrattle Battletome or is it just to coincide with the Underworlds release?

Shadespire isn't supposed to be until later this year, per GW themselves.

I think that this is ramping up to whatever the narrative/summer event that has been said to be happening will contain.

Turns out the "big" news was that 8th edition is coming. 1 minute video, link to a site with no info. The only thing "big" is that it says "get started, choose below" and the options are Chaos, Imperium, and Xenos.

Very AoS approach already.

Did you miss the big FAQ or what?

To be honest, that big FAQ doesn't really says more than what was already announced at Adepticon

Well the skaven doesn't look to be for bloodbowl as the FW reveal (see the bloodbowl thread) doesn't match

so I guess it must be AoS/shadespire......

although the 8th discussion is now talking about 2 new factions at launch, could we be so lucky as to get space skaven (please!)

Okay, this one seems to be for eldar in 40k, that's a farseer's rune... but the other one I don't recognize.

Space Dwarfs are coming ... and they have a death star ...

My guess, Artwork for the first Ynnari exclusive unit.

It's weird how it seems to have both Eldar and Tau iconography on it, unless that circle symbol is something Eldar I've never seen before (though it looks like the Tau icongrapghy for septs with it being circles and lines).

it also looks like some kind of weird skull

Ahh now that would be cool.

I was thinking at first it reminded me of one of those TK Snake monsters but then perhaps Necron.

But then death head, Eldar rune? Ynnari model makes sense.

Cover art for the 8th ed Xenos army book?

That was my thought as well

Okay, the circle seems to be Tash'Var sept. This and the skull makes me thing this will be artwork or the cover for the new codex for the xenos races.

It is the icon for Tash'var but at the wrong angle. Tash'var is that icon but set at an angle rather than straight.

It's kind of strange though. Tash'var is a nothing Sept. It's a frontier Sept that is known for producing really aggressive Breacher Teams because of their proximity to Ork Waaghs.

Good call, they say it's not from a miniature, so likely.

Or the cover for the new 40k book in general - maybe split into thirds to represent the 3 factions, with individual race/group symbols within the respective third.

I'm going with Eldar have traveled back in time to bring the Tomb Kings back to AoS.

The Eldar Rune next to the Space Scarab confirms it.

I'm going to say it's Tazyn artwork

Is no one going to mention what appears to be a scything talon on the left side of the image?

It looks like a Xenos clock counting down, like the Chaos and Imperial ones from gathering storm. Hopefully, Xeno art for the new book.

I was about to say it's a Tyranid skull.

That would be my guess, a new 40k symbol in a circle of faction icons.

Can someone with some paint/PS skills spin it around or something to see how many rectangles it takes to make the full circle? My rough eye estimate is ten, but I might be wrong.

Just looking at my watch face, each icon there is taking up the "space" of an hour on a standard 12 hour watch face. So, twelve...and possibly a clock as mentioned.
