We have how many unsolved rumor engines by now? 20? 30? I have high hopes for October 17th

Behold! A feather.

'Tis fancy.

Also, I've added the countdown previews to the OP.

**zamerion**

hope it's not a feather from the blood bowl humans they already showed ..

**Kanluwen**

Does not seem to match any that I can see.

More likely, it's another Direchasm model. We know there's a Sentinel or possibly Wind Temple in there.

right, it's different from those feathers (it has a central thread).

So yeah, one of the aelves from direchasm has feathers in the helmet.

Something to remember is that we're pushing into what looks like the home stretch for a new iteration/phase of AoS.
Slaanesh is breaking free.
Teclis is leading his Teclian Vanguard into the Realms at large for the first time, specifically to try to lessen the damage that Slaanesh will cause upon breaking free.
Morathi's making a play for Godhood.

They've known where they're going with this. The lack of Slaanesh mortals and then the prompt showing of them in both Direchasm and the Shadow and Pain box is a clue that we're likely gonna see something Big developing on that front.

Does that mean we won't see the most important aelf until after Slaanesh breaks free?

Looking back, so many of these look Slaaneshi.
I think Direchasm will solve 10 of them

In previous previews we’ve know about the next thing, but they’ve shown us the next thing after that.

I can’t imagine they’d just be showing the necromantic team again, it’ll be something else.

S4 underworld starter yes, but that’s because we haven’t actually seen it yet.

I could see the Necromantic team coming up as a quick thing, with confirmation of which month it is being released in (assuming the world doesn't burn down in the meantime, of course).

**Kanluwen**

Seems like this is a Dwarf referee for Blood Bowl.

**Carlovonsexron**

I have to admit, I think I would have preferred if Gotrek and Felix ended up as bloodbowl refs.

**MobileSuitRandom**

Ah, the #3 pic with the feather has a striped sleeve or sth similar, too, so I'd guess this will be an Empire or maybe Elf referee

**H.B.M.C.**

It's the Blood Bowl team. It has to be.

**Crazyterran**

It would be crazy for them to preview a team we haven’t already seen when the whole rulebook being leaked didn’t have anything else.

Though with the striped shirt it might be plastic refs/coaching staff being released?

**Danny76**

Well it’s definitely a referee. He’s even got the hand pose of ‘paper’ pointing out like referees do

**Jadenim**

I’m guessing new starter box with a ref included.

**Kanluwen**

We know there's a new starter coming but the refs are a tossup as to if they're part of it or not.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Defo a refo.

Likely blowing a whistle. Not sure if rulebook, or personal book of grudges though!

**Danny76**

Cynic says released alongside starter, as opposed to in.
But hopeful it could be in there.

**zamerion**

An image of the contents of the box was seen with the miniatures on the field, there were 2 outside, which are not appreciated. One must be this dwarf, the other could be a goblin cheerleader.

**gungo**

I think one of the big reveals is going to be the release date for the forgeworld book.. it’s already starting to hit the app.

**Chikout**

This is from the tiny picture of the blood bowl contents. It certainly looks like it could be a referee with a feathered helm tucked under one arm and the other raised. The other referee could be the dwarf.

No way, that’s clearly the kid with the quartered oranges for half time!

The mini in this image matches the "3 days left" pic posted above. It seems like a referee showing a red (?) card to someone, with a feathered helmet under the arm.

**zamerion**

In order, dwarf referee, lumineth sorc, slaanesh archer (or lumineth), other referee (maybe goblin), and slaanesh lord.

Also they said :
Underworlds, Warcry, Blood Bowl and maybe a surprise or two along the way.

**Not Online!!!**

surprise?

any ideas?

That's not lumineth, that's somethnig new for the Cypher Lords.

**Kanluwen**

It's the Direchasm Lumineth leader. We know he has an owl.

**Carlovonsexron**

I'm excited for this preview.

I hope they might show some of whats next for warcry, and maybe some more of the seraphon underworlds warband.

**Kanluwen**

They did say that WarCry and Underworlds will have expansions discussed.
