From the detail it's clear this is Carnosaur sized or larger. Much too big for Kroxis or Salamanders.

Since it's very obviously reptilian and GW doesn't do obvious rumour engine pics, I'm going to say it's not for Seraphon. Maybe Dark Elves, or a random Warcry critter.

Hoping (in vain most likely) for exodites!

I'd love for it to be Seraphon. I have a funny feeling it's going to be for Necromunda or Blood Bowl or maybe even Lord of the Rings as some obscure lizard. I dunno, the detail just seems very Forgeworld to me.

Goblin sky-pirate crocosquig. Used for keeping order on deck, specially bred to not be bouncy like regular squigs so they don’t end up overboard by accident.

Lizardmen blood bowl sounds a good bet.

Looks like a really cool lizard, dragon or dinosaur thing.
It'll probably be an endless spell that does mortal wounds...

It’s for GW’s newly licensed Godzilla game. Same scale as AT.

Every Kaiju nerd knows Godzilla doesn't have scales like that though.

Don't play with my heart like that zend.

New cold one riders for Shadow aelves.

New Squiggoth version!

Ay don't say that! I still need to pick up a box of the old ones for some Exodites!

Well I'm going to start saving up in the off chance my Exodite dreams are coming true!

Agreed on the likely size.

Carnosaur



Bastiladon (lovely model. Really should grab one sometime soon. Fancy using it as a Necromunda gribbly, because why the devil not!)



And the rumour pic



Whilst not conclusive, the size does seem to be comparable.

For Seraphon, neither of the first two particularly need a model update, being fairly modern, and nice as they are. In terms of Dino archetypes, there's only really Stegosaurus and Brontosaurus not explored in the Fantasy setting. And that to me doesn't look like it really fits either of those.

So I'm really thinking Exodites. Would be nice to further spread The Soup, given Chaos are getting full blown Knights and that - and quite possibly Traitor Guard, as I cannot accept those lovely sculpts in BSF are all we're ever going to get! Unfair to teases us so, and frankly, a waste of production budget to restrict them to just the one boxed game.

I’m thinking larger sized beast for the Warcry Raptorix gang. Dinos do what Dinos do do.

Doesn't titanicus have a dino hunt thing for knights to do?

Is that like Warcry where you'll have bespoke Groxboys and Aliens and shoe-horned rules for other armies, or is it like the good old time where games could range free without desperate sells of already milled moulds?

The latter, obviously.
Also, there's going to be a plastic Thunderhawk, a return of WHFB and IG sergeants will now the option to take lasguns



Seriously though, if there is a groxboys thing then it would most likely be an add on for Necromunda. I mean, there were already a indian expies in the previous game, so logically if GW wanted to go full western they would have released those guys and cowboy themed models.

I hope it's an exodite and then it corresponds with a 40k release of Vulkan, so that we can re-enact that stupid story where Vulkan is fighting dinosaurs.

New cold ones would be nice, but it does look kinda big for that.

Actually.....Grox.

Possibly something odd for Blackstone Fortress?

Dragon for Elves.

Which Elves? Who knows?

Need bigger corridors then. From what I remember, Grox were huge

Necromunda Grox hunt expansion, Grox, new board, special Ltd edition Grox dice and card sleeves.

I doubt GW will do something as normal as a 'dragon' ever again.

At best you'll get a 'Stygxxian Dracoform', and it pains me beyond reason that I'm not making that first word up.


Also not incredibly convinced they'll ever touch lizardmen again. The lizard to Seraphon changeover felt like an acknowledgement that it sold units, but held no interest to any of them.

Size of Cows, I think? Not sure if memory of actual description, or headcanon though.

In one story they were around 3 metres long I think? I did a quick search and I find others stating 5 metres as well. So bigger than a cow, but probably not much bigger body if you substract the tail...which is probably a delicacy on some planets.

PS: Now I really want some grox herders against Kroot or Orks for Kill Team or a board game

latest image:

So today we have what looks like the back of someone with leather straps and some pustules. So possible some more nurgle
