@Mad Doc Grotsik : perhaps everything you read about Ulgu is .. shrouded in mist and illusion

Nah, I'm just curiously thick at incredibly inopportune times!

The quiver is obviously more Stormcast, the only true Order faction.

Let’s settle the Morathi question.

She is alive, changed, and allied with Malerion.

Some rumor engines can be linked to aelvish esthetic.

Perhaps there will be two factions, in Silver Tower we got 2 similar but quite different style of Aelf (the Tenebrael Shard & the Mistweaver Saih)

I'm sure I've read that the Mistweaver and Tenebrael are both Shadowkin, think it might be in the Silver Tower tie-in novel?

Chainy.

Anchors away?

my guess would be either some mounted model or some sort of beastmaster. But seeing how there are 2 chains that run parellel its more likely a mounted model

Hand looks definetely female and/or elf-ish.
But the chain is way too long for a hunting beast at the other end, unless it is ridden.

Could be that there's a scenic piece the beast handler is on. Or the beast could be kinda low to the ground to start with. Hell, they could even have just not attached the chain to the beast for the photo.

Just throwing some ideas out there. The chain matches with what the Tenebrael Shard has dangling from him though.

Look at Khorgos Kul for the Bloodbound; two chains for his Fleshhound.

Elfy looking hand to my eyes.

I'm guessing some sort of mounted elf unit (standing on top of the mount based on the angle and length of the chain).

40K finally admits its Dune roots and its Paul Atreides surfing the worm?

But seriously, I reckon its something elf surfing something beastie. Its a long chain, so seems bigger than just a dog handler or similar.

Elf on sandworm would be the best compromise.

Possibly an exodite on a big ass lizard?

Some Necromundian with a pet.

Escher with a big cat would be cool (carefully phrased)

Can't wait to find out this Elf thing is just 1 model for the upcoming campaign with right hand holding the small wyrm and left hand holding the chain for whatever it is riding.

They have rotated images before haven’t they?

If you rotate the screen 90 degrees it could be someone standing and a large canine or big cat rearing up.

The other potential is something like the Deldar Hellions.

The handle seems to have two protuberances and one of which ends in a fashion that makes me remember this

I wonder if it's upside down. Some kind of trapeze act....

Also hoping for the Shadowkin

The Tenebreal Shard and Mistweaver Saih have similar references so 'Aelf' is still the front runner IMO.

Hope it's part of a large release, but could just be a Shadespire squad, which would still be neat but presumably months and months away as we still have four known sets to work through.

It's meant to be a crescent moon. The reference is to Lileath and Morai-Heg("The Crone"). That's why there is a raven-skull on the Mistweaver.

Could also be a Moonclan Grot holding back a squig...

Moonclan grots have hands like that?

Post end times in gray scale with little other context/ scale? Sure, why not.

This new one looks related to that arm holding the mini dragon spawn that was shown off...a long time ago. I'm very curious to see any AoS re envisioning of elves. Especially if it's the faction related to that tenabrael shard guy from silver tower.

Since the hand and chain is so straight and if you turn the picture upside down i can imagine those chains being attached to some flying thing and the figure holding on and dangling below it. Like some circus swing thing.

Or just holding onto some big beast on the ground, might be more likely.
