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

Interesting thought. When they make the teaser pic are they just taking a pic or are they actually taking the actual image and just photoshoping it? If that is the case that would mean these pics were already done, painted and the photos are well in advanced made. I guess the rules are made in a less time frame, hopefully. Now I am really curious what GW has in fact up their sleave if the minis are already made and painted.

If someone had said back in January that it was from a comet model that comes in a box set with a hammernado and a hoverboard for your Stormcast wizards, would anyone have believed them?

Pretty sure that most of the images are of actual painted models, probably resin prototypes given to the painters to make versions for box covers, etc. well in advance of their release.

New hint:



got a gobliny feel to me.

I really hope i'm right in guessing (sky)Goblin Shamen for AoS

I'd like to say 40K Ork but it just doesn't look right for that

Agreed that it looks very primitive.

My guess is DarkOath Shaman; has a very similar aesthetic, especially with the hanging skulls.

Looks pretty cool, whatever it is.

Looks like FW resin

hope darkoath brings new marauder kit

They tend to. We either see a painted, finished figure or a resin master.

Took them long enough

it would be an unexepected surprise from GW if they bring back malam/malice

Kroot Shaper!

Seems unlikely. Surely a shaper would carry a kroot(ish) skull and this doesn't have any of their distinctive features, notably lacking an underbite and having teeth.

Well no - its his Champion in the World that Was Kaleb Dark - I still have the Journal he first turned up in

Here's the ancient Kaleb Daark mini from 1986:

'New' GW doing a Darkoath mini as a homage wouldn't be that surprising ...

I mean the geometries too. Doesn't look like it's designed for an injection mold, but I could be wrong. Looks like a silicone cast part.

yes it does have similar aesthetic and having a closer look their weapons the sword from may have very similar aesthetic to the sword and axe from both drakoath models
Edit: both are chipped and the blade is done the same way it's a lot more noticeable against the warqueen's axe

Kind of resembles Seraphon pterodactyl head but do these even have real skulls these days?

The Seraphon being "dreams made manifest by Slann" is a little bit more complicated than that.

Though looking at the model, it looks to be a detail, not a major feature. So definitely nothing the size of a dinosaur.

That lore has been actualized. Yeah, Seraphon, at least the first ones, were "born" from magic, but after that they are flesh and bones. The Seraphon that live in the free cities are normal living beings. I don't know if they reproduce or not, but they normal beings, organic.

Epic Exodites confirmed!!

I believe you may be correct...

Spoiler:

After closer look with the 360 view, it seems the rose isn't part of the mortarch or any model so far available/pre order.

Starting to think, it might not even be from nighhaunt.

We got new executioner, grimghasts with greatsword, black coach, the LE model, two named characters, and that's about it for the release I think.

Shadespire also have nighthaunt.

I am seriously digging that mortarch of grief a crazy amount.

What 40k army could I convert night haunt into

Necrons. Obv.

But to be honest, you could do some interesting daemons with them.

Is the candle from the 17th October not from the new black coach or the third Nighthaunt character? The one with the scythe, sorry don’t know his name
