It's funny how the paladin preview gave me Firstborn vibes, and this preview reminds me of Swamp Goblins.

GW will bring back Chronopia before anyone else does.

Owait that makes no sense… Order can’t fight Order… or can it?!
Ah, I see now, fourth edition will be Stormcast in lightning-powered mech suits vs. Daughters of Khaine! The edition will be called Insurrection Wars! It is foreseeeeen!

Ikit Already has Skaven in Lightning Powered Mech Suits - not on the tabletop yet but...in the lore

Order fights order all the time - especially the Idoneth Deepkin.

So after that reveal, I'm not betting Fimir any more...

I love Nurgle (or I thought I did. Love maggotkin, hate death guard) but I'll be annoyed if it is nurgle. Or just more chaos. We need more Destruction. I'm already going to be disappointed if it's not Fimir (which it looks like it's not) but nothing's a dealbreaker unless it's just another flavor of a chaos faction we already have...

Every time people think "it's going to be Tomb Kings/Chaos dwarfs/Vampirates/Fimir", you know it's 100% not going to be that. It does look more goblinoid than chaosy tho.

I don't know... GW will put their new spin on anything, so I wouldn't eliminate Fimir just yet.

Even a couple YT'ers out there think it will be some Fimir / Swamp Orc thing-A-McCombo

That isn't a Nurgle piece. Doesn't match the aesthetic.

I am sure that it is destruction related, atleast.

There even has been talk about it being new breed of greenskins (rumours so take it with big mountain of salt).

And is it Fimir related? I would rather ask how do you know it is not Fimir?

Wrong number of eyes and doesn’t match any look Fimir have had before. I mean it’s not impossible for it to be some weird new take on Fimir, but it’s really not very likely.

Looks like a shield to me.

Seen a very good guess online that it's a crude image of this guy's face...

Yeah, I'm fairly certain it's something from an upcoming Kragnos-based faction.

Spoiler:

Yep, everything but the tongue seem to match.

I think they are rehashing the Forgeworld Chaos Dwarves and their story arc and possibly fleshing it out into a new faction complete with the mechanized train beast. This is probably part of the engine and the demon/beast bound to the iron demon. I always loved the idea of binding captured demons to do your nasty work, and this could be a Nurgle demon bound to the machine as a slave. Destruction using chaos to achieve their goals.

With those eyes that appear to be living, I'm betting it's something like a savage human or beastman shaman wearing a crude metal Tiki-mask that is supposed to resemble Kragnos, or something. The big white space in the middle of the "mouth" is probably the model's face, photoshopped out.

Kind of like the Tiki mask of the Savage Orruk from Underworlds (or the way older metal model with one).

If its Nurgle in the new boxsets then I'm out.

Nothing against the faction and certainly not its players( you all seem a nice bunch ), but I can't stand the theme. I can just about deal with Minotaurs in leather stockings but thats as far from the Shire as I'm going to walk...

I feel the same way too. Nurgle models actually trigger a response that just makes me physically ill when I look at them. Too gross, but neat from afar.

A couple weeks ago there was a picture of a banner from one of the warhammer sites that had some "goblin like" faces on it, and someone posted it somewhere here on DakkaDakka as it related to the countdown. Does anyone know where I can find that image?

So, a Fimir in a tiki mask is still on the table.

IDK. I would love Fimir but I dont want to get my hopes up. Honestly the chaos shield-face from the preview is more in line with where i would have expected the Fimir aesthetic to have landed based on the last stuff from forgeworld.

So it seems safer to assume this is going to be some form of Goblin or Ork. If its anything else (let Fimir) it will just be a welcome surprise.

Then again the fimir are now destruction rather than chaos.

It's not the wrong number if you just look at it the right way. There seem to be three eyes there, and if it's an effigy of Kragnos, the lower pair of eyes is for the boring races while the lone upper eye gives representation to the Fimir, thus combining all of his worshippers in a single monument to his glory.

Second picture:

Vampirates?

Vampires would have more class - that looks more like an orruk or goblin hook with its bent curved shape as opposed to a smooth and elegant curve

That's... extremly pirate-y, and simultenously Goblin-y. Could it be the Sky Pirate Goblins that were mentioned in Khadron lore several times?

Seems likely - or Skaven ones - both in the lore

I still think both of those are like Eldar Exodites - parts of the lore that GW hangs before you to tempt you to buy two models to convert into one. In those cases getting goblins or skaven and converting them with Khadoran airships

Have we had UK prices on Saturday's Soulblight preorders confirmed yet?

I assume the Cursed City set prices are a mystery as they are limited to GW online?

...so if AoS gets a Resin kit remade in Plastic it gets significantly cheaper, but if 40k gets a Resin kit remade in Plastic it doesn't?

Cause i mean, Blood Knights went from 99 USD for 5, to 60 USD for 5, that's an over 1/3rd decrease in price...

if the old set of the main well selling game gets remade, it gets more expensive
if the old set of the less well selling main game gets remade, it needs a competitive price so people who think 40k is too expensive change to that game instead to wander off to another company

Thank you @Nerbil .

£118 for just the miniature components of Pariah Nexus, that set is still widely available with the "terrain", boards, rulebook etc for £95.

The Gravelords start collecting is an ok price if you want the Black Knights and Grave Guard. Those are £70 rrp without the Wight Lord on steed, that is going to be a £25+ mini on his own. So in the 20% off preorder window from a FLGS the start collecting for £48 odd is alright.

It is odd how GW prices both surprise and perplex you. I am ok with Radukar the Beast but think Belladamma is a bit too much,no idea why they are the same price.
