I'm curious as to why this doesn't look like an Ork hand. A few things to consider:

- the nails aren't visible, that'd be a dead giveaway.
- we can't tell the colour but from the saturation and comparison to the metal, it's clearly not human flesh of any tone. It's either green, or covered in material like a glove.
- it's been a while since new Ork models were sculpted, this could be the first visible work of a new Ork line that's the work of a new sculptor.

To be fair, you could say the same about this picture. But it was for a Catachan model

It looks like a utilitarian big gripping claw tool, either reworked as a brutal weapon, or part of a rig/bionic arm.
So my guess is either more GSC mining mutants, or Necromunda Pit Slaves (YES!)

Claw thingy doesn't look "rough" enough for Chaos/Renegades & Heretics. Looks in too good condition.
Same goes for Orks. Not "Orky" enough.

My vote goes for Bloodbowl or something in that vein.

Anyone who thought that was in any way shape or form an ork, is delusional.

I think you're wrong about that. I tried adding colour filters (the values are exactly the same) for pink and green skin. The green one doesn't look like a GW ork at all; they use a much sharper colour gradient with stronger contrast. The pink skin however looks like a fairly good match for a somewhat flushed caucasian complexion. That's darker than GW usually does ogryns; I tried a purplish-pink like the official paintjob on the BSF ogryn too and it isn't a great match, but closer than the ork. It seems way too dark for a genestealer and the proportions don't really suggest them either. My best guess at the moment is some kind of ogryn special character.

Special character? Fine.

But if it's some new "Jungle-Slicer Ripperblade" or some other such nonsense named weapon that is now common to all Catachan units (meaning that everyone who has Catachans now has to get something new), it'll really suck.

I'm sure Khorne will have a turn after Slaanesh. There was good money for a while that Khorne would actually get some attention before Slaanesh, but its looking like Slaanesh will get its major mortals update in 2021 if the stuff coming out for fantasy is any indication- and the GW trend so far has been to marry the AoS and 40k Chaos releases.

Like a new Catachan troops kit? Because that would be a miracle. If I was a Catachan player or a praying man, I would be praying for a new kit, because those plastics are HIDEOUS.

Though following GW logic they will keep the current plastic troops and make some elite "Catachan Devil-Hunter Clawed Fiends" unit that is armed with only claws and is five models for 50 USD.


All that aside I think this has to do with AoS or one of the side games and not 40k.

Like the "Should we get a new Ork range" thread in 40K General, I have to say "Be careful what you wish for!" when it comes to wanting replacements, even for the hideous Catachan kit.

You maybe get a wonderful, detailed, dynamic and fantastic looking 10-man Catachan kit that somehow costs 150% more than the current kit, and has zero posing options, meaning every squad will look like clones.

They did the Carl Weathers special character figure, maybe a “predator” this time as a promo also themed as a Catchcan.

Or a House of garbage character for Necromunda(I forget the gang name ).

Very true, but with how bad those old Catachans are, I'd consider clones over them (even expensive ones). Though I suppose if they were at 150% cost you might as well look at Victoria Miniatures at the point to replace your infantry. At least then you could have a bit of flexibility in posing and what not.

Yeah at this point, unless playing at GW was literally my only option for gaming, i'd 100% be going 3rd party for Imperial Guard.
Given how much 10 man squad of infantry is realistically going to cost when they get around to revamping the range, and given that an Imperial Guard army is likely to need 60+ infantry, if not more (unless you run tanks), then any IG kit GW releases would have to be absolutely phenomenal in the sculpting/bitz/versatility department.

It will almost certainly end up being more cost effective to go 3rd party. And between Victoria Minis, Mad Robot Miniatures and Anvil Industries (to name but a few), just about any conceivable style and theme has been covered.

To me the crude metal work and brutality of the weapon just scream ORK, I really don't see how anyone is seeing anything else.

The metal also looks more chunky than you'd expect from something like slaves to darkness. That said it could be ork or orruk

Regardless of wheather It's an Ork or not we know for sure It's not the Ork they already teased because that one has a gun in one hand and a choppa in th other one. So unless he's also a Genestealer, he can't also be holding this claw.

My first thought was a Spyrer for Necromunda, as there is one that has 2 wrist-mounted claws that are curved, but it seems like it might be a bit too crude-looking for a Spyrer.

We had Carl weathers Predator catachan. Maybe sly Stallone Cliffhanger this time?

If it is a weapon I could see it as a sort of climbing claw, s +1 ap -1 1 dam but ignore vertical distance when moving.

I do not get an Ork vibe from that. Ogryn is my guess, I think the hand looks bigger than human size.

I strongly suspect we will get ork-genestealer hybrids at some point. They have been mentioned a few times in the background material. Probably as part of the next 40k WHQ or similar (like Kill Team Rogue Trader), since they are pretty niche.

Ork genestealer hybrids are SUPER rare. Tyranids(from what I remember) don't consider orks generally worth it to assimilate. Also, other orks can easily tell when another is infected since ork culture has no use for the methods usually used by hybrids to hide within society.

Orks also have no issues killing off anyone that "izznt quite right" so the hybrids have a ton of difficulty even staying alive and spreading.
