bow of a tiny ship?

Looks like the back of the old metal chaos sorcerer I have.

Good catch! It even has cabling along the top...we know Blackstone Fortress(Warhammer Quest...IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!) is coming at some point and it's supposed to be focused on the Black Legion. Would be a good spot to bring in a plastic Chaos Sorcerer clamshell as an homage to that guy.

I'm thinking darkoath or slaanesh- its got a general resemblance to how I could see slaangors ending up. (Though as stated else where, Id prefer a serpent-man slaangor that can pull double duty as Laer remnants in 40k)

Thousand Sons sorcerer (for Warhammer 40k Quest: Black Fortress)

Oh wow, totally on tje money that!

Just so that nobody wastes time guessing enything else:

Can't wait to see the new Sorcerer!

Actually, the closest lookalike would be this model:



But yeah, can't see it being anything but CSM HQ...

It's the bow of a new ship from the ancient race of the WELSH. Bringing with them their mighty flocks of weresheep and ancient red dragons as they set sale from their wet and hilly lands to invade the Mortal Realms



Or yeah could be some new chaos sorcerer.

It's good to finally have one of these show us something specific

Thing is they all show something specific...it's just we don't always have a frame of reference for it. This just happened to have a frame of reference.

Yep. Just one of the first I've thought for sure would be a specific model. It was good of GW to give something so recognisable.

The CSM backpack idea seems likely. I would be very glad to see a generic Sorceror.

Generic CSM do have a remarkable lack of plastic characters. They have the old Terminator Lord/Sorceror, and the Aspiring Champion clampack (one of the very earliest 40k clampacks). All the other Chaos clampacks are god-specific. There is also the now-OOP Dark Vengeance Lord.

I find it very odd that no generic Sorceror or Lord has been released, and to a lesser extent no plastic Dark Apostle or Warpsmith. Yet they have an Aspiring Champion...

Too obvious, so it’ll probably be the prow of a grot sky pirates air boat. The SS minnow squig.

Probably the main antagonist for Blackstone Citadel (or whatever the name of 40k Quest was).

If anything, it definitely lends credence to the rumours of some new basic CSM stuff (a pleasant surprise since I had assumed CSM were going to be slowly eroded in favour of power-specific factions).

Which would be a crying shame after they teased us with what they were capable of, what with Dark Vengeance and the Raptors box both being really awesome sculpts. I have refused to collect any further standard Chaos whilst the rest of the range mismatches so jarringly.

Because that’s exactly what happened with Ultramarines.

Oh. Wait

I still prefer the old metal Raptor sculpts. They had a very distinctive look instead of being spiky assault squads, and they still looks cooler imo.

So no hinted part, but there is artwork and a very clear description of what is to come. It helps that the article is amusing although considering that they've given the canid a rank one shudders to think how high a cat would go in the Imperium!

For those interested in the artwork:


I'm wondering if this is a hint/teaser for a reworked Cadian kit...Canids would be an interesting addition to a squad.

I wants the fluffy doggies!

Clearly, the Imperium is populated by dog people, therefore cats will only gain rank amongst the forces of heretics

No, cats go with the eldar. Snooty donkey-caves everywhere over there.

The Cadian kit is about the same age as the Fire Warrior kit was before its revamp. I've been saying for awhile that it would make sense for the Cadian kit to get recut like the Fire Warriors did and to include some new weapon options/profiles as well.

I now have a duel in mind, and I need a Cadian Officer with a Canid and the Ynnari and a Gyrinx...

True, although I'd rather get a re-vamped CSM kit before Cadians or Catachans, and Guard is my primary army.

You could start with a Rogue Trader and Aximillion?

I want 20 doggos right now.

would almost get me back into 40k.

I guess the AoS Gryphounds sold well then
