So Stormcast Eternals were a way to bring Space Marines to AoS, and Custodes are a way to bring Stormcast Eternals to 40K?
Well played GW.

LULZ aside, with Custodes existing for quite some time before Stormcast and AoS, I'd say that Custodes are a way to bring Custodes 30K into 40K.

Yeah, Custodes were gold supermen for a long time, way before AoS.

Spoiler:

I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but all of these give me a dragonic vibe more than anything else. Could we be looking at Order Serpentis/Draconis? Or perhaps Darkling Covens, with them getting some attention in the new GHB? The scroll from the new image makes me think of a Dark Elf Sorceress.

I seem to remember one of the rumormongers peddling rumors of two Aelf factions getting updates, could it be a dual update for Orders Serpentis and Draconis or perhaps a single release that smooshes them into a united faction like the Blades of Khorne or Maggotkin?

They could be slaanesh, the one with the dragon/serpent thing, has a similar skin tone to one of the main daemonette colour schemes, the hand also has a black armband which Daemonettes have. (Slaanesh was also known as the serpent to the norscan tribes back in fantasy)

The one with the chains, the handle on the chain looks allot like an icon of slaanesh.

The snake body, gives me a huge Fulgrim vibe.

As for the octopus thing, in the 40k rulebook, mentions a tentacled behemoth as being apart of a Slaanesh daemon army.

Top is beastmaster
2nd Fulgrim
3rd beastmaster
4th Fiend of Slaanesh

With the preorders up, you can go ahead and move the 17 May 2017 image (lion head) to "Solved". I think most of us assumed it was, but you can clearly see that it's the shoulder pad on the Custodes HQ now.

no hd

w/hd but scaled down

Two more solved. A lot of these teaser images were Custodes related... From the power lance and front of the Custodes bikes.

I'm going to repost this again... See page 84 of this very thread for the already had discussion.

The cloak from 5th Dec is almost certainly in this release some where too, although I've not seen an exact match.

Still want to know more? At the Las Vegas Open this weekend, we’re holding a Warhammer Community and Studio Preview – which means there might be an exciting reveal or two. Check back on Saturday for the full roundup – you won’t want to miss it…

looking at the hint, this could be slaanesh releated

It fits well with the octopus head.
Although the last tentacle was actually Necromunda related, so who knows…

So we are coming up on a year of the February image not being solved. That's starting to annoy me.

Beastman.




Or a squig...

Looks like a tentacle to me, or possibly a horn but horns typically have ridges on the top as well as the bottom.

Squig tail or possibly squig horn.

Either way, a sguig.

Looks like a horn.

Pretty sure it's Morathi.

Looks like we'll be getting snake (wo)men in the new AoS Shadow Queen (dark elf) line, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're the belly scales image where people were wondering if it was Fulgrim

Ehhh...they looked like the Medusae that come with the Cauldron of Blood.

Wait, what, where was this confirmed?

Edit: nvm, found the link in the other thread, OH BOY; OH BOY!!

But she took on Slasnesh's form, so something serpenty would be logical

Yes, but Morathi herself talks about slithering from the throat of the dark prince, and GW loves their large centrepiece models, so I wouldn't be surprised to see her as a larger version of something similar

Right, but you commented about us "getting snakewomen".

We've had them.

That new Sisters hairstyle looks *weird*...

It does look good - the current Medusae models are ace and a Goddess version like Allarielle sounds fantastic - hope it happens.

So much more fun than more Stormcast and looking forward to the BL authors bringing her and her elves into the stories!

The only snake people from GW are the Medusae and Sslyth right?

I for one would be extremely happy with lamia models in the game, then perhaps I could do my abhuman guard army



Is the first post getting updated? Noticed all of the "Unsolved" pictures have actually been solved.

Posted this on facebook so putting it here as well.

So since she "slithered from the thrount (??? or perhaps throne or throat) of the dark prince" does that mean she is related to this?
Wild guess here. Medusa is sometimes depicted as wielding a bow, we have 3 rumor engine pictures that could be related to a medusa model with a bow. September 5th, October 31st and November 14.

This could be snake body but the design doesn't fit the Blood Wracked Medusa nor Sslyth so I'd guess large centerpiece model.

Is this the top of a bow of Elvish design?

A Quiver with arrows with an Elvish design?

Wouldn't be surprised if they made them into a unit with new models.

Probably the horn of a demon/beast head that is hold by a new primaris marine / custodes / sigmarguy...
