Maybe one of them ogre sized Ghouls finally got a model to reflect their knightly heritage?

Don't raise hopes up! It would be too cool.
I read a black library story the other day (part of the current humble bundle) that featured FEC. I think it was a Varghulf, but it could have been a varghiest (it just specified that it was an enormous bat creature). But it was wearing jewelry, a frilled neck outfit, and challenged someone like a duelist. Please GW, give us FEC that have fancy clothes, or at least what ghouls would consider fancy clothes (but also please give the Varghulf the option to remain clothless, so it can fit into a Soulblight army. Thanks)
Here's the quote for those interested:
Spoiler:
The ghouls had struck him as
loathsome because of their debased semblance to men. In the hulking
monster that now crawled into view, there wasn’t more than an echo of such
a resemblance. It was a beast in truth, a monstrous frame covered in mangy
black fur except at the hands, feet and face where the skin was dark and
leathery. The feet were crooked with clawed toes. The face was scrunched
forwards in a wide muzzle, sharp fangs hanging over its taut lips, squashed
nose with flaring nostrils, beady eyes set far back in deep sockets. The
hands were mere nubs at the end of long, leathern wings. Incongruous with
its animalistic shape, the thing had draped about its chest a fine silken shirt
with an elaborately frilled neck, jewels gleamed in its long bat-like ears, and
about its waist there was a velveteen cummerbund.
Looks vulture-y to me (even if that big hook on its head would mean it'd get its head stuck inside the first carcass it pried into) which suggests Death related, not really much to go on besides... Sat on a branch, maybe scenery or otherwise something big?
Also the silhouette looks cropped to me, so the bird is sitting in front of something, not poking away from the model on its branch. This makes it more likey to be base decoration.

Yeah, it looks more mutated than decayed, doesn't it? Also the weird claw on the wing! Might be a Were-bat-vulture though hmm
Also compare to the 'realistic' vulture from an older unsolved rumour engine:
Maybe both belong on the same piece, one being more corrupted by whatever than the other?!

As far as I can recall, normal vultures are associated with Beastclaw Raiders, since the stonehorn kit has an ogor using it via falconry. This guy most likely isn't for them (maybe the normal one is, but I doubt it.) Since it's on a branch, maybe it'll be an addition to one of the new zombies, though we already know a crow is one of them. Maybe some new warcry enemy?
Either way, I am loving all these animals GW is releasing. Birds, rats, lizards, etc. Give me more animals
I'm old enough to remember the old school Undead Carrion, that was my first thought as the head definitely looks skeletal. This one looks a little too small though. Retcon maybe?

Those got reimagined into an Endless spell for bonereapers
One of the best looking endless spells, imo, since it's not half an animal (Like the flaming bull, the blood snake, etc.)
I don’t think I’ve ever seen that Bonereaper spell.
It’s pretty cool.
Thought it was something new for CC.
Though hard to say that’s the undead carrion ‘reimagined’.
It’s just an endless spell that’s similar looking?
They could quite easily do a release with a unit of them, I wouldn’t say it’s one or the other surely?
(In this instance, I don’t think these RE’s are a new unit for sure, they’re just adornment for a model or whatnot. But the point is, there could still be a unit of that at some point).

Are you attempting to imply that Giant Spiky Purple Skull Ball is anything other than a wholly intimidating design?
That one gets a pass, since it means the Purple Sun of Xerxes survived the old world
I am much less forgiving to the multiple "here's a magic wall" spell that they cram into armies when they can't think of a good idea. Fyreslayers, Slaves to Darkness, Realmlords, FEC, etc.
Also, I can't believe I forgot about the Sylvaneth Worm, FEC horses, and pretty decent Beastmen birdies. (And firey lord of change face)
I guess the video technically doesn't show that wing yet (based on the combined picture in the Preview thread), but... yeah, that seems a pretty safe bet.
Quite the amount of rumour engine pictures solved in this one preview.
If i remember correctly, the thread pretty much guessed Be’lakor for that one at the time, based on the piercings and similarities to the existing model, right?
