Yeah. You would think that you would want the whirring teeth at the front to cut through armor.

Probably just functions like a cerated knife/bayonet.

The first part pierces through, the cerated part disembowels and saws through bone.

yeah a chain weapon is honestly not very good at armor pen. there's a reason why chainswords in game are best at dealing with large numbers of unarmored foes

Wonder if that weapon belongs to an standalone HQ or Elite model or an larger unit.

New Terminator Chosen?

The chain glaive is being wielded by the chaos marine centre left.

*edit* never mind I think it’s a sword with a similar looking hilt.

That sword looks impractical and the blade is kind redundant.

I love it!

I hope there are more like that, although it looks very much like a "character" weapon.

Looks very Night Lord.

you can chew by using the back, and poke and stab by thrusting with the front ... legit

I'm going to go with it being some kind of pole arm, partly because there seems to be a little bit nearer to the bottem of the picture that looks too small to be a hand guard. As for what unit? As much as I'd like to say new berserker kit, my money is it's based on whatever that terminator looking dude on the urban conquest image is.

Those tree branches will never know what hit them

Actually, the chain blades on the back cover one of the very big weaknesses of a Glaive. Now, rather than resetting for a new strike(and being open for attack during the reset), you have one hell of a backswing. That almost could be reflected in the rules with something like rerolls of 1 to hit.

I need this stuff, just let me have it.

If the latest teaser images show only Shadowspear models this is probably just a weapon from the new CSM kit a la Plague Marines.

Could be nothing but wishlisting but I would love some more individual Chaos models, not just remakes of the old kits



Either way these new bits are going to allow for some interesting Chaos conversions.

Urkanthos is To Abaddon like Glen Humplick is to Tom Green.

There has been a surprising lack of leaks for Shadowspear. Either the leaks for prior releases have all been GW leaking things on purpose, and they just don't this time, or no one has gotten a look at the models outside of GW.

It feels like leaks have gone down in general since the whole Rumour Engine thing. I both like it, and dislike it. It's more controlled, less rumours from random people, but that was also kind of fun. I remember the whole debate when the leaked Primaris marine first appeared. There was so much discussion and speculation. It was great!

Hoping the community page gives us some full model pics today instead of teasing us all the time.

Haha nice, soon I’ll be assimilated into the daemon engine. That chainglaive looks neat.

Seems like one of these "Glaive thingies" that Night lords got.
Probably a option for Terminators?

Also, if the heavy bolter looks this awesome we have seen sofar, then i want to see their new vision of the reaper autocannon.

Edit: also on the urban conquest pic is a CHosen probably that wields a blade that has a surprisingly similar form, altough not staff version.

Although I am not interested myself i think this one will be a big seller for sure, I have not seen this much hype for a while.

GW leaks stuff the same way a Kardashian leaks a sex video.... they just don't want you to know they are the ones leaking it.

We haven't seen any leaks because GW is too busy picking the right potato to take the pictures with.

Conversion beamer? Whatever it is...I want 10. It's very clearly sitting on top of the tick.

Multi-part woot woot!

Potatoes are out of season, yo.

Spoiler:

Could be a Beamer, but the conical lens array makes it look a lot like the genecult mining lasers. Either way it’s clearly mounted on the back spine of one of those new daemon engines; we might even have other pictures of it.

Nice to see the Chaos Tick will have a decent amount of builds.

Is it a flamer of some kind? Looks like it has a strange, long ignition going from the body of the gun to the front of the barrel

It matches the baleflamer on the Helldrake.

As crazy as it might sound, I don't think it is the Venomspawn--or if it is, it's mounted on the head not the 'butt'. The butt's spikes are a bit longer than the pieces we're seeing in the Rumor Engine.

Oh good call. I'm happy with more of those, too.

Spoiler:

Damn...you're right. I wonder what it's sitting on then. Certainly not an obliterator.

Could also just be an alternative spike piece for a more shooty version, instead of another new model.
