Without going back to reference it, but;
A. It could just be hobgrots like in old lore weren’t particularly Chaos, just the Chaos dwarfs anyway. More slaves and all that.
B. These dwarfs could also just be destruction anyway. They aren’t gonna be called Chaos Duardin either way. So Hashut or some other name sprinkled in possibly. Then they’re just following their god who isn’t necessarily Chaos any more..
Good call. I could easily see them as Destruction dwarves following Kragnos, which fits pretty well into their bull-centaur thing.

Yeah, a new destruction race is much needed. Right now, its only Greenskins and ogres.
But, isnt destruction imply a hatred of civilization in aos lore? That would make chorfs hard to fit.

About that, I agree on the lack of menace. However, Warcry warbands are all cosplayers to a greater or lesser extent. Being humans (with a few exceptions) that dress up to look the part is pretty fundamental to the game's aesthetics. You could do a lot with fully hybridized creatures, but I'm not sure that would still be identifiable as Warcry, Warhammer or GW. Never mind any doubts about GW's designers' ability to sculpt good hybrid creatures.
Edit: Also, 'Eavy Metal style is too clean and cartoony to look menacing. Properly painted you can probably get a good bit more out of that miniature.

Yeah, not sure why anyone would want Chaos Dwarfs that aren't Chaos in the first place, but they are as industrialized as it gets and that is in contradiction to what Destruction is supposed to be about.

Yeah, if I remember correctly the last preview teaser made it out like the spider dudes are the attackers, thus the harvesters. The unrevealed faction that narrated the teaser may not have any connection to the Red Harvest aside from than being the target of it.

In the tradition of the novel Red Harvest, the new boxed set will have two factions manipulated by a single person into fighting each other, whereupon the manipulator can easily finish off the now weakened survivors of both sides.
If you like noir, the novel is worth reading. If you've seen the movies Yojimbo or A Fistful of Dollars, you know the basics of the plot.

The yellow painted mask doesn't bring the model any benefits and make it looks like a witch doctor. Other than that, the model looks rather sinister to me. The warped torso and the marcid lower arms look 'good' as does the collar (this time nicely painted).
Not a perfect model, but it has potential.

I'm not, but when has that ever stopped anyone?
For lack of knowing what colors you'd go for I toned down the mask a bit to make it stand out less against the surrounding fleshy tones and darkened the sash while I was at it. I actually like yellow so I didn't feel the need to alter the highlights or base colors. I don't think yellow in itself is a problem, just how bright and happy it looks when painted by GW.

About time honestly! I'm surprised GW kept the foot marauders around as long as they did for AoS after releasing all the much much better looking warbands for Warcry that - sort of fill the same slot.
Dark Oath I think was going to be a name change for Slaves to Darkness that at some stage just got shelved for reasons we'll likely never know. Heck it might be Dark Oath were going to be to Slaves what Primaris are to Marines. It was certainly birthed during those strange times.

The Darkoath are a specific concept, from the lore we have. They're individuals who have committed all kinds of deeds and the like to get to the point of swearing oaths to Chaos.
Thousands of mortal tribes have bound their fates to the will of Chaos, and at the fore are the Darkoath Warqueens. These are souls who have committed all manner of atrocity to attract the favour of the Dark Gods. With a fierce animal charisma and the fires of ambition fueling their every move, they are deadly warriors all, but their true power is the favour of the Dark Gods, and their supernatural ability to unite the hordes of Chaos as one. Marakarr Blood-sky has proven herself the rightful leader of her barbarian tribespeople again and again, and they obey her without question.
This new model is a specific kind of individual again, distinctly called "Slaughterborn".
As if he couldn’t seem any more intimidating, he’s called a Slaughterborn.
Rather than decking themselves out in gaudy spider masks and fancy cloaks, the Slaughterborn knows that a solid weapon and the favour of the Ruinous Powers are all a person needs to win their place at the Everchosen’s side.
Their spartan equipment and penchant for leather straps hearkens back to the classic Chaos Marauders of old, but these aren’t your dad’s warp-crazed killers. Slaughterborn scream fell oaths into the heavens on the eve of battle, fighting for the blessings of their patrons with every step and stopping at nothing to prove their might on the battlefield.

Reads more like a pointless teaser, same as not giving us the name of the spider cult. Or it could be like the Godsworn Hunt, where they follow the same design cues but don't get called Darkoath because there's no synergy between them and the Chieftain or Warqueen.
No matter, it's a great new sculpt and look forward to the rest of them. Kinda still want a brand new boxset for Marauders explicitly, but if this is a stealth update, it'll do.

Eh...they revealed a new concept first and then an "old school" concept. We still have to see the warbands proper.
