We've seen that the Underworlds team has a guy with bomb arrows, so it only makes sense we'd get other kind of trick arrows.

Green Arrow would be so proud.

I guess Dawnbringer Crusades are already done for the most part, in that case.

Some hand granade, stikk bommas style?

Definitely not an actual mace, more Warcry stuff?

Perhaps it is a novelty pen

What if it is a mace with the mace in the background and the hand in the foreground? It seems like a silly way to hold a mace even then, but *shrug*

On closer look, you can see the hand and...other thing...are attached. IGNORE ME!

Guys. Come on. Be serious for a moment.

This is obviously just the bow version of this guy.

The mace head could be part of a spear or long mace.
The butt end decorated with a smaller mace head.
The Ogroid Myrmidon has exactly that.

Probably that Warcry warband that was leaked in the StD book.

Yeah, the Legionnaires are likely a Warcry warband based on their placement in the battletome (with all the other Warcry stuff).

Yeah, leftmost picture, bottom row.

That's what I was saying earlier :thumbs-up:

Witch hunters for city of sigmar confirmed. Woo

You mean it isn't an odd design for an Eldar Ranger?

Wow! I hadn't seen that pic before! It's exciting! I can't wait to get a closer look at those guys!

Catachan Dueling Glaive? (can't claim credit for that it's doing the rounds elsewhere)

With that little mace head from last week as the butt end maybe?

OOOoooo, good catch. It would be in a weird position(like resting on his shoulder spikey end forward), but that could work.

Yeah, that Catachan pic is a very good guess. They often do clumps of rumour engines from the same mini, and the combination of mace, dark skin, glaive head and tassel is too much to be a coincidence.

Spoiler:

Just to pile on here, the full range of speculation on Bolter and Chainsword is its Sgt Stone the Gland Warrior from Inquisitor. They had a comparison pic of the mace and blade ends of the pole arm with the model bits from the old catalog.

Gland Warriors (or more Inquisitor models) were suggested as a Kill Team release.

Gland Warriors would be an interesting unit. A souped up melee unit for guard would give them something they've never really had. There's plenty of interesting rules you could give them to represent their combat abilities.


Going to throw out an alternative. Maybe Armageddon Ork Hunters?

Well, that was solved in record time I think

Here's Stone, for reference:

Damn, that's basically spot on.

Holy Moly. Sgt Stone is from the old 54mm Inquisition game. My friend tried to get me into that for years.

Unless they're bringing back a 54mm skirmish game (unlikely, but they are hitting the nostalgia button hard), I wonder if it's a KT based on the old Inquisition characters from that game (including everyone's favorite: Eisenhorn).

Well there is a Guard Codex coming up. They could be about to give Catachans some of their own special units.

Not saying it's wrong, but that would deviate from the lore some. Gland Warriors weren't Catachans, and I don't recall seeing dueling glaives outside of Sgt Stone. I could totally see them using inspiration from Sgt Stone to create a new Catachan unit though.

Man I hope it's an actual inquisitorial retinue, and not just a guard unit.

Spoiler:

Please be catachans, please be catachans. I got Ripper, I got the Colonel. I just need the rest of the army.

Very interesting if true. I don't think they would necessarily be Catachan, as far as I know the original gland warriors were a random regiment? Having been recently reading Dan Abnett's pariah books, there are several references to the roving gangs of Queen Mab who are also heavily drugged up soldiers. Would be an interesting unit to have in the Guard, great for a Penal Legion regiment.
