Subject: New GW model teased... Astropath? Arcanites?
There's no simple Herald, there's a disc one, and the one from the chariot can make one if you build the chariot as the HS option, but no Herald On Foot.

Daemons work in both settings.

what are the differences between 40k and AOS daemons?
Whether their army book is top-tier or nigh useless.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Organic shapes, gem settings, and bone colour says 'elf' to me, the plant-like shape across the top and the swirly staff as opposed to the smoother/more geometric shapes 40k Eldar use is pointing at Sylvaneth. If it was Imperial the staff would probably be the quilted/cross-hatch arrangement seen on GK staffs and Marine hammers, if it was a Daemon it'd be metallic.

Considering the eye pattern i'd say its going to be Tzeentch no matter what.
We have rumors of tzaangors and a lord of change in the pipeline, so i'd hazard a guess its one of those.
Edit: The star of energy stuff also has 9 points coming from it, the favourd number of tzeentch.

Top is a Daemon of Tzeentch, and the bottom is a Tzanngor from Silver tower. Tzanngors are also coming with the 40k Thousand Son's release.
For all intents and purposes, they are a shared army, while Chaos has some units/models that are shared between games.
When someone says Arcanites, they mean AOS Tzeentch specifically. When someone says Daemons, they mean either 40K or AoS.

so the Tzanngor is of course 40k
now is that daemon AOS or 40k?
Either or. Tzanngor is actually AoS from Silver Tower.

'So what is it?'
It is definitely an Aos mini. 40k is having all the fun at the moment. It makes sense to tease something for the Aos fans. What occured to me is that with such a long time between books, it seems that Gw is being serious about changing the setting based on the results of the campaign. Recently Andy Clark, a full time gw fluff writer said on twitter that he had turned in a manuscript which had had quite a tight deadline. This was presumably a new AOS book building on the results of the summer campaign, with Tzeentch as the primary antagonist.

LightKing wrote: I mean......thats kind of lame, that both AOS and 40k have the same fluff? isn't it
Same fluff? No. The Warp and Chaos is similar in both, it's one of the constants of the settings. Aside from that, everything else is different.
One difference between Chaos in AoS to 40k is that in AoS, Slannesh is missing and the Horned Rat has taken his/her/it's place. For now. No such thing has happened in 40K.
On Topic: IF it is Tzeentch Arcanites, it really is a time of Change.

When there was talk from sad panda and Atia about the year of Tzeentch it is was clarified that they meant financial year, so expect more Tzeentch in the spring ( hopefully the long awaited Loc.)

Rather than asking a lot of what are fundamentally lore and background questions in News and Rumours.

It's that darn half shrouded hand. Could be a daemon claw or delicate Aelf hand in a gauntlet.
Leaning towards Tzeentch but I'm not entirely certain. Could get surprised.
I still remember those old Tzeentch vs Duardin rumors so this might correspond with the previous leak. Maybe they'll expand the photos on both leaks showing a Duardin golem battling a Tzeentch sorcerer?

I could see that. SteamHead Duradin decide to take the Realm of Metal from Tzeentch's claws, leading to quite the kerfluffle ther between the Arcanites and the Steamheads.
