[...] and Tyranid Shrikes?

My thought too seeing that. Doesn't look like a big model, so that would be very very nice to see Shrike coming back!

Chaos Knight looks like it matches the rumours with a Volkite and whip. While the exhaust vents look new, the rest of the carapace details seem to match the existing Desecrator/Rampager kit. So Its probably an extra sprue or two, just like the Imperial Knights.

I think its all Maugan, its just that new bony back screams ossiarchs as its the same "style" of design and Im sure GW knows that when teasing us like that

Best post of 2022.

The beauty of it is that it will work for every “Preview Show” thread.

Dark eldar thing with whip?

Nope, it's clearly Daughters of Khaine.

You can tell because it's clearly not a remake of an existing DE model, and DE aren't allowed any other kind of new model.

Nighthaunt Guardian of souls in emerald host color scheme

Maugan Ra

Tyranid special character Parasite of mortex

No sure about the one

Just like last year, they showed off nothing. Man I really miss the days when they actually Previewed models.

For the Daughter/Wych, I am now not sure about that model. Seeing her from the back makes it really hard for me to tell 100%

They actually showed more last year, a whole actual model for AoS.

It definitely seems more DoK than Drukhari to me. Down to the colour scheme. Dark Eldar wych armour also has vent things on the back.

The book might be the Inquisitor?

This was a pretty okay preview, better than that one of the hour long live streams that had like 1 new model we hadn't already known about.

That one model near the end looks like it has a version of the Infinity gauntlet with gems

Sf

Yes I thought that may have been ash wastes but something about the full wrap on the staff seems a bit off

This one looks Admechy to me, the fabrics plus that blue cable/hose reminds me of the Serberys rider aesthetic. Also looks quite like Gideon Lorr though.

The rust and hazards though make me think more something to do with Necromunda than Ad Mech who tend to be more "clean metal"

I think it's the blue spot colour that makes me lean toward Admech, it's a reasonably distinctive (though ofc not wholly distinctive) motif of that faction currently.

I think it's still missing the stone on the thumb. Eldar won't be overpowered after all.

Avatar of Khaine always had some sort of gauntlet bling.

Plastic and properly sized Avatar, at last!!!
I wonder if plastic Shrikes mean also a double kit with new Raveners, maybe with some bonus unique model like Ogryns are with Nork?

We still don't have a Technoarcheologist model...though the big stick isn't what they have. It could be another profile added as part of the set so it's not just "pistol, surveyor thingy, and servo-claw".

Might also be another GSC character.

Not bad. Pleased with the tyranid glimpse.

Spoiler:

Yeah GSC strong contender. It's generically Imperial enough that it could fall nicely into any of several categories (AM, GSC, =][=, Necro, others).

Seconding the Tyranid to be a revival of the Parasite. Shrikes are unlikely in the extreme, I wouldn't expect flying Tyranid Warrior variants to be completely legless and whatever this model is, it has tentacled limbs (probably the ones from the rumor engine) where the legs should be.

GSC for Kill Team would match with the announced Vigilus setting for the next box.

This image kind of reminded me of a Vraks style traitor. Looks like he kind of has an armor plate on the chest and and hooded head covering with tubes going into it. Also in the distance it looks like an air tank/chemical tank on the back. Hard to say though, as the bracer does look pretty ad mech.

It reminds me of Cypher, actually.

So. New Renagade Knight and Possibly New Avatar of Khaine for Eldar is my guess on a few...

While I think that most of the Eldar photos were of Maugan Ra, there was the story of the cloak worn by the young Exarch who entered the Avatar's chamber. When the Avatar came out, all that remained of the Exarch was the tattered cloak around the Avatar's shoulders.

Well in the past Shrieks were just warriors with a wing attachment. They weren't even their own thing until FW made some and even then it was mostly just wing attachments on regular warriors. I think if GW wanted to sell them as their own plastic model then making them more than just a warrior with wings would be the path they'd take.


But I'll also take Parasites as I think that's just a fun mechanic to fly around infecting people iwth rippers that burst out of them. It's so 80s and so Xenos that I'm surprised we've not had it appear before (at least in model form)
