A lot of the hints have added up to stuff resembling Elves. As Gamgee says, this one is obviously Eldar (soulstone, etc) in the way the lasgun was too obviously Imperial Guard, but turned out to be Necromunda.

With the AoS aesthetic getting ever closer to something not entirely out of place in 40k, my money is on this one being yet another AoS Elves hint.

Wait a second I almost got slightly hyped. This is too obvious to be Eldar. I mean think about it. Have any of the other rumors been so obvious? I think this is a red herring. It's probably some sort of dead eldar decorating a base or something.

The base of a plastic C'Tan shard, then?

Pfft as if Gw releases anything for Necrons. Search your feelings you know what this base is for.

Share that Kool-Aid please.

It's a base for an Imperial figure or terrain with dead eldar. That's all it will be.

It looks very mixed Wraith and Dark Eldar. Some sort of new Ynaari Wraith Construct?

There is some sort of strange nubbly on the blade that isnt the jem

maybe corsairs wings?

I hope so. The Ynnari need their own range. The fact they just use Eldar and Dark Eldar stuff without their own units (not counting the characters) is pretty pathetic for an army, and the cynic in me thinks they just wanted people to collect both ranges to make more money.

Something Ynnari I'm willing to bet.

Looks a bit "cleaner" design wise than the three Ynnari faction models we have so far. Their aesthetic as it has been established appears much more baroque, and this looks spot on for craftworlds to me - but who knows!

I would agree but I get the feeling that we wont see anything for Craftworlds in the near future.

Eldar stuff would be nice, but I'm really hoping it's something to do with the Aspect Warriors, and not something new. They're in need of some really serious love, especially Spears.

At least these two:





Can be taken off list, two more I couldn't find right now might be also from new Nurgle stuff.

Done, thank you very much.

I get the feeling that new Aeldari units will come before any re-sculpts, following the Primaris/Death Guard template.

Plague Marines got re-sculpts / finecast-to-plastic.

Might follow the template they did with Death Guard & Harlequins. Take an Elite-slot unit, re-sculpt both the base kit and flesh it out into a new mini-army.

It's a fin from an eldar vehicle or wraith construct.

Not a blade I don't think.
Look at the texturing on the underside and the small node like object.

I'd be inclined to say (hopefully) a new vyper.



Since they are going with big stuff now a days though, I wouldn't be surprised to see a large flyer.

Here you go.

Was not expecting that to be a Nurgle model when that image popped up.

What uf it turned out the newest preview was Fulgrim's sword lol. We already got a snake body.

Yeah, but the blade looks a bit too smooth to be the Blade of the Laer, and not straight like something Ferrus would build (so no Fireblade either). Maybe Fulgrim found himself another sword. He does have four arms...

Lucius wields the Blade of the Laer post-heresy.

That is some swirly fog / smoke / flame or I'm a teapot.

Given GWs current model direction, this could be literally anything from a new Ork Gretchin kit with swirly flame effects, an Age of Sigmar (tm) Fyrewrehthye (tm)...anything really.

I vote spooky ghost for Nagash in the upcoming malign portents

well I think that fire/smoke does look a bit too...lively? for it to be anything nurgle-related at least, so we can probably rule that out...

...nah, I'm stumped...could be loads of possible things...but what the hell, I'm gonna wishlist 3 things it could possibly be, but probably won't...daemon primarch angron, or daemon primarch fulgrim...or...a big new awesome doomrider model!!

Heavy flamer? Sisters of battle brazier?

It's a squig.

I would totally buy a giant flaming squig, just sayin...

Looks like the way GW has started modelling the ethereal capes of ghost models. Probably something for Malign Portents (seriously, though. When are we going to see the model holding the little dragon thing?)

It'd be a gift that goes on giving.

Whenever we finally see the Shadowkin.

That latest rumour is probably a giant spirit host as part of the malign portents thing. Y'know, 'cos we all need more giant centre piece models.
