New arbites?

Armor is too ornate for the Enforcers.

bionic leg for a Adeptus Soriatus chick. Looks like it has tiny Fluer-de-lis at the top and bottom of the shin.

Makes me think Female Ad-mech, like that leg we got teased back when they showed off the Palantine, Lelith, the ork, etc. It doesn't match though.

Are those fleur de lis? Doesn't match anything from SoB, but could be related

Looks like Sororitas to me.

Sorry I meant arbites, could be a new modernized style more decorated to differentiate from enforcers.

If not, it's some kind of new unit, because that armor with the fleur-de-lis doesn't fit me with anything.

If it is Sisters, it's fancier that the leg the Canoness' got.

It reminds me of either scions or maybe the knight pilot guy? I thought sisters at first but the greaves are too different as is the shape of the shoe. I'm not convinced they're fleur-de-lis either at this point.

It looks more like the ornamentation found on Knight armour plates and AdMech vehicle plates to me, could be a female Inquisitor in plastic? I mean, we certainly don't already have those....

Chaos sister. The spike indent on the rim is pretty characteristic of chaos marine armor.

Gotta be careful going off that symbol though...when the picture isn't clear enough, the fleur de lys can be mistaken for the AdMech and Tempestus arrow bit!

I'm leaning towards AdMech or Tempestus personally--I can't find much for Sororitas that repeats a pattern like this does.

Yeah, it looks more like the arrow thing on AdMech or Knights than anything else. The whole leg looks robotic too (looks like a mechanical ankle). No idea what it is though.

I agree my only doubt is that Admech really have gotten enough for now (not that stops GW).

The interesting concept, to me, is that this could be our first Secutarii unit in the codex. It was extremely strange that we got Skorpius and Archaeopters allowing for carrying a Forge World unit(Hoplites and Peltasts).

It's also possible that the Skitarii 'HQ' we've had teased earlier is a 'lieutenant' styled Alpha Primus while this could be a Captain/Chapter Master styled Master of Skitarii or something.

Wild longshot though is this could be some 'light' power armored Scions.

Well, it’s definitely a leg. Yep.

Wonder if these 24 treats will be different bits of relatively few models?

I've got mixed feelings on that. I want a ton of models previewed, but if it is only a few models, then they'll reveal everything by the end. Hopefully its enough models that they're not forced to use bland filler pics.

100% thassa lady leg.

Maybe Imperial knights are going to get some household guard units? You know, give them ability to play mono and still take/hold objectives. Or it could just b a new knight and she is the pilot.

I’d love that to be the leg of the proto Slaanesh Knight for Titanicus, but it’s not quite bulky enough to sell me the scale...

One day we’ll get them... one day.

I was literally just gonna come and suggest that. Not as a particularly feasible idea, but...

Actually, now you mention it....that might be a good spot!

Maybe it's a "Feminine" looking Knight similar to the Dread Knight that the Grey Knights have.

mechanicus comes to mind

Hm... at first glance the foot has the segmented look of sororitas power armour boots, but more than the three segments or some kind of toe spike, so closer to rust stalker feet.

The heel is definitely the 'flat iron' foot seen in the mechanicus horses and under the toe armour of the Kastellan Robots.

It's probably infantry sized (paint lines would be thinner if the legs were big enough to allow it), and while mechanicus is most likely, it could conceivably be a character model from any imperium faction, really.

The more I look at this, the more I'm starting to think the Skitarii "HQ" we saw teased with the Palanite and Death Guard guy is a 'support HQ' while this is a Primus.

If you look at the 'foot', it doesn't seem to be a boot. It seems to be a mechanical bit ala the foot on a Kastelan robot.

New arbites?

I reckon that’s probably a Sisters of Battle unit or character. The general shape of the armour and the flier de Le. Sure other Imperial units do have that style like the Inquisitors.

With the joint and robotic foot I am wondering if this is meant to be like Fallout 4 power armour. So it’s a bulkier suit for carrying bigger guns. Could be a special character but I’d really like them to make a new unit.

I mean they did drop that article saying the Sisters had sold really well and teasing they’d be getting new stuff like the Palatine (likely their 9th Ed codex). Plus the basic Sisters unit selling really well. So, dropping a bigger version of the core unit ala Heavy Intercessors could make sense. They do only have one troop choice....

Just curious on the highlighting coz I am struggling to judge the scale of this thing? Any ideas?

Probably. I'm slightly disappointed they didn't arrange the advent grid in such a way that they show off 'whole' models when more panels are open. But alas, a leg to the knee just doesn't work in the second row.

Forgeworld did that in the past, with that terribly painted Space Wolf Terminator. I wouldn't mind an advent grid pattern, but the model in question would have to be something spectacular to warrant that hype. A primarch or something even grander. I don't think even the new Sigvald model, magnificent though he may be, could justify 25 days of teases.

My bet is on sisters of battle. The shape of the leg and boot are almost identical to sororitas power armor. The trim is shared by most imperium factions at this point: knights, admech, scions, and that new limited ed. chaplain all have the same kind of trim. Imo, it’s likely either a character or some elite new unit.
That said, power armor inquisitor is also possible.

A sisters greaves carry on past the knee which isn't the case here, likewise the boot is less of a curved segmentation on the sister. Plus no fancy trim, even on a canoness.
