Didn't see a thread for this, so apologies if its repeated.

The action kicks off on the 4th of May, with a day dedicated to Warhammer 40,000 – including more than a few unexpected surprises. Warhammer Age of Sigmar gets the treatment on the 5th of May, with new units, new battletomes, and new characters. Then the 6th of May is skirmish day – a treat for fans of more than a few Warhammer game systems.

It all builds to a traitorous crescendo on the 7th of May, coinciding with the Horus Heresy open day. Suffice it to say that there are oodles of goodies to be found.

I trust you to do this well, Garo.

Warcry, neat. Been quiet on that front since Red Harvest

I'm thinking that the silhouette is one of the "Possessed Humans" from that leak list.

Ah, so hopefully next Wednesday we'll finally get a proper look at the new CSM codex and models. About damned time, too.

Unless League of Votann are coming out before them...

I'm curious what the two dwarvish looking banners are. Immediate thoughts is to squats, but the banner top isn't 40k related like the rest of them are.

Interesting things in the banners:

- Imperial Fists and Sons of Horus, both present in the new HH starter.
- Leagues of Votann icon in one of them.
- Two Sylvaneth-esque symbols.
- Both the Necromunda logo and the Ash Waste Nomads icon.

The rest look like more generic icons.

The one on the right is 100% Squats, as it’s the same image from the teaser video.

But the icon in the banner on the far right is the LoV icon.

The third banner from the right, the one with the horned marine helmet, on a red background. Could that be, World Eaters?

Guess we will be seeing the next kill team box and individual releases for some of the current models?

The red CSM banner is probably just for generic CSM. The helmet looks like a CSM one, and not khorne specific, sadly.

Are the two dwarf banners the squiggly, rune ones? Those look like AOS aelf banners, like Deepkin or more likely, Slyvanneth. Though DOK have squiggles too

No, the ‘dwarf’ ones are the one with the Votann faction symbol (far right) and the matching flag on the left with the rune.

Likely a flag for the 40k day and one for the killteam day then as a guess.

Looks to be much too big for that

I was thinking that the one at the back (7th from the left) with the Chaos Symbol was Undivided (not "generic") CSM. The other being on a red background (the preferred color of Khorne) I was thinking as World Eaters.

I was guessing Jabberslythe. Neck is very jabberwocky, but the human bits dangling off of it scream possessed.

I think there’s just multiple flags for the same things, tbh. I don’t think we’d get CSM, Squats and World Eaters in one event.

It's warhammer fest, their big event in theory. They used to show something from multiple factions at events.

The chaos star at the back looks very renegades and heretics

I think the flags can be broken down as follows:
Generic brand flags x2.
HH - Imperial Fists and Sons of Horus banners.
40k - Leagues of Votann faction symbol + rune, CSM banner.
AoS - Sylvaneth banner x2.
Necro - Ash Wastes banner and Necromunda banner.
Warcry - Chaos symbol on the brown banner.
KT - Two black banners with orange symbols.

Please don't get my hopes up for that.

There's two KT flags already...
Fourth flag in from the left border and second flag in from the middle right. Bone circle around the skull and the skull chewing on a knife in front of a triangle.

Both in that distinctive orange color, with the same banner topper.

I mean, the same can be said of the Greater Possessed which is what these are supposed to be equivalent to. It's not unreasonable to make as a statement as well, given that there's a direct tie between the middle-left banner and the CSM banner.

I feel the Skaven will be in this as well. There's been a long, persistent rumour of a Sylvaneth vs Skaven box.

The one on the right is a skull with knife in mouth like previous version. One on the left has similar visual cues

I don't know, looks pretty human to me. It looks like a daemon is litereally bursting out of it, so the size doesn't really matter. It kind looks the same size as Skorpenek now that I think about it.

This also confirms a rumour.

I just don't know about this one. Skaven and Sylvaneth both have done boxes in the past...I think it more likely we're about to see the Kurnothi finally show up as a subfaction within the Sylvaneth, and as a potential new WarCry warband.

It would mark the first new, full warband since Red Harvest.

One of them is Chaos, so other chaos Kt in the new box. Cultists? or renegade guard?

Great catch with the rumor engine, but I don't think its a match. No tongue and different horns. I thought it was a flaming buzz saw, but it probably is something similar

Possessed humans are meant to be on 32s according to the rumour and possessed on 40s, so skorpekh size is still a bit big for either of those.

I would assume the Renegade Guard, as they would be a visually distinctive and interesting mechanism to go with. Cultists are already a KT.

I'm thinking that the other is a Grenadier KT. The rumoured Kasrkin would play well into that look.
