The Twin Souls heads look like that because they are paired with a deamons soul so it makes sense they look like that

Nice previews - but was expecting a bit more...

We know what the lore is. We just think the heads look bad.

Heavy flash backs to Forsaken and 3rd Ed Dark Eldar Warriors.

Someone on The Grand Alliance caught Slaangor in one of the pictures of the new Slaanesh minis!

Oh Lordy, the Twin Soul heads are atrocious!

Yeah, very good but once again not much.

It seems 40K just isn't on par with AoS these days...

The pic in question:

I for one really liked this preview.....but they showed preview images during the countdown to the event that they didn't show the models for, which is interesting.

They did say that there is another preview in early December, so that could very well be where we see those, but still an odd choice to use those imagines in the lead up previews and then not reveal the minis.

Ok, so in the background of the Hedonite video, there are a few new models.

Slaangor
Some stand alone model holding a Standard(?) and a big golden thing with a jewel or mirror in it

So anything new regarding rules for 40k?

Great reveal! Hopefully the Incubi stats are sign of things to come for the Aspect Warriors. Having Banshees, Spears and Scorpions hit on 2's makes them feel more elite along the lines of Custodes. If they scale their weapons to be more impactful I can see them becoming relevant again assuming their points reflect the changes.

Slaanesh is definitely the spotlight overall though, Sigvald is channelling his inner Sanguinius....

Sigvald: Amazing!
Paingivers: Even better!
Twin souls: ...Really? “Let’s copy Oogie’s kids for the heads” was the artistic directive?

Granted, it makes for a great variant paint scheme...

That's my hope also.

Hopefully the Slaanesh range will get expanded over the course of the broken realms books- a long shot, but I can dream!

More likelly we'll get this and then have to wait to synch up with when ever 40k slaanesh gets it's stuff.

Well this was a very cheap preview for me. Don't care about DA or DE, don't play any of these specialist games, absolutely HATE slaanesh.

But not every preview has to be for me and honestly, I definitely have enough stuff for now.

Preview in Early December is for Black LIbrary...

This? I guess

Signals with cattle horns is.... Odd.
Rest of the model is great, but the horns rather undermine his 'Perfection'

Underworld warband and Mirror Guard Slaanesh Warriors look good.

Nah, all the five teases match up. The first one wasn't a model. It was artwork for the new dark eldar codex cover

The next preview is for Black Library

I’m getting the sneaking suspicion that the Death Guard release is going to be half-assed.

Aren't they just getting a new model, a terrain piece, and potentially rereleasing some of the easy build models/DI guys?

Ah, nice catch. I hadn't considered that.

Ah...right you are. Bummer.

There is quite a bit more to see in the background of their reveal video

Right ones look like Slaangors and the left one looks like a bigger model based on the size of the base

Left one looks like the new Lord of Pain but seems like another Character on the right also some kind of chariot carried by some Slaangors in the middle?

Also this part in the background could be part of a bigger centerpiece model

Was there a date given for Codex DA? I'm interested in when to expect a Combat Patrol box for them.

Looking at them the new models we've seen look very much like chaos warriors and Chaos warrior champions. That is hand and shield and twohanded weapon heavy armour units. This leaves plenty of room for another unit of mortals following the designs of the Warcry team with weaker stats, but cheaper in points. Based on the idea that so far every underworld warband we've seen closely copies the parent army designs.


Also for those that don't like the "twinsoul" faces you can easily put the helmets on them. The weapons are the big main feature and both forms feature the same heavy armour so you can easily put the helm on - perhaps add some spikes and such - and it will look good.

January for DA, along with Drukhari.

The one pic makes me think of the island of blood rat ogre in the "gorilla" pose.

Comparing the new guys to the Underworlds team, I've got to say I prefer the aesthetic of the latter more. The Paingivers have a lot of the same visual cues, similar helmet and shield, etc. But the fact that the W:U guy has his skin exposed and covered in scars just seems more slaaneshy. These guys love pain. Show some skin. Be sensual!

Nice to see all the additional stuff in the background of the preview, as it means the Slaanesh release will actually be pretty substantial and not just a hero and one new kit.

Lighter infantry, like the Underworlds kit, could be a possibility also.

I'm just glad the test model (Sigvald) for the Resurrection of Sanguinius looks good.

Should be an interesting 2021.
