More machines for cult genestealer!

Square grip pattern is obvious reference to dozens of existing SM weapons, striped cable, too. The only thing that makes me unsure is the fact it's way too primitive looking for Custodes, and even DW spear looks much more detailed than this. Still, it's obviously something hand held, not motorcycle or anything. I have no idea what the sculptor thinks the handle is doing, tho

Settle down fella. You know as much about it as the rest of us do.

It definitely matches up to Genestealer Cult weapons - grip and hazard stripes in particular.

The tagline was also "You know the drill" so I reckon it's another Aberrant.

GSC Again!

Dang. Really hoping it's an Ork Boss on a bike.

Probably a tool of some sort, the grips remind me of the power axe carried by the classic metal Enginseers.

Huh, you might be right, looted Power Hammers aberrants carry have very similar grips. Figures, it was one group I forgot to check Still, my hunch was almost 100% correct, Imperial weapon but more primitive than refined versions more high tech factions carry.

Yeah, sorry I try to make educated guess instead of spamming tired squig memes Though, I must ask, have you ever seen an ork bike? Like, even once? Either GW or FW variant? Or proposed Necromunda factions? If you had, you would have known these things look nothing like this bit and any comparison to them was nonsense, especially seeing how hard new GW is trying to invent new look for everything (see sharkelfs and balloon dwarfs for one), not make something that was already radically different more similar. Maybe actually check them out then you will see from where I was coming from?

Doesn't strike me as Orky.

Looks manufactured, rather than made, if that makes sense? Churned out to a standard pattern as opposed to the inherently kustom nature of Orky tech.

given they're previewing GSC and Orks and space wolves are supposed to come before I got a hunch Orks and Space Wolves won't see any new minis with their 'dexes

They’ve previewed stuff that could be Orky in the past.

They also strongly implied at UK Games con that they would.

The 'ork' answer is bound to be right - eventually!

It's funny, we're all geared up for a massive Ork release but all the evidence points towards a huge GSC expansion. Which would come out of nowhere and make a lot of Ork players sad. XD But, they make GSC worth playing I might be tempted to try them out.

Look at the GSC, theybhave teased them , adjusted them, leaked potential info, showed us a model and now hinted at more models they're building us up for this! I haven't heard a single drop of actual reliable Ork rumours and we're about 1 month away.

At UKGE they said the Ork codex would come with new models, but wouldn't say what. They also said that there would be some new GSC stuff released *before* the new codex when they showed off the new Abberant, I assume for Kill Team and to remove the reliance upon Kill Team as their only source.

Until I see footage I don't believe anything. However, these sneak peaks (as shown above) suggest more GSC are on the way.

Again, you don't know anything more than anyone else. I suggested it might be something Cawdor related. Others something Ork related. Others something Genestealer Cult related.

None of these are wrong. Note of these are right. We just don't know.

In fairness Orks are a very old faction with a big amount of models on the market; yes a good few are old, but they've at least got them. Genestealers is a very new army and whilst it can piggyback almost anything it wants out of the Imperial Guard army; the actual core of the GSC is much smaller. So it stands to reason that they'd get more attention in terms of more models.

Space Wolves are already a heavily bloated sub faction which had to resort to increasing flanderisation to justify yet more models.

They will almost certainly get snowflake Primaris like BA and DA with this release to clutter up the shelves. Hopefully they won't get anything more so the design team have been focussing on factions that actually need new models!

Orks are less likely to get anything.

But as pointed out, we've seen a probable Squig and alikely gobbo sword. So there are Orkoid rumours too. More likely to be AoS goblins, but still possibly covering some 40k Orks too.

At UKGE, did they say or implied who will be next , orks or wolves?

looking at the posts related to the image...nobody used squig memes or mentioned orks as a possibility until after your post.

To be fair we've all been crying squig for a lot of the recent stuff

Yeah, but that was a direct counter to all the people crying space marine every time, even for things clearly meant to depict bone and wood.

He gets it!

He really gets it!!!



(And to be fair, that nonsense is even worse in the FW thread...)

Flamer handle?

Hmm, let's see...
It looks like a handle...and motorcycles have handles...and one of the more famous armies to use them is Space Marines...and the most well known subfaction to do that is Ravenwing...and they're part of the Dark Angels...and their Primarch is the Lion...

Lionel Johnson confirmed?

Nah mate, it's obviously this is jist miss understand. The person taking the picture just missed the Russ model he was supposed to be taking a picture off and accidentally snapped the equipment for the buildings heaters.

Doesn't look like anything to me

... flames are from the new "Everblaze Comet" Stormcast Endless Spell via Warhammer Community

Nice catch. I was expecting that to be a Nighthaunt model.
