This just got posted by Games Workshop Digital Editions as a preview which will actually be revealed on December 1st:

They're encouraging wild speculation, so have at it!

**Cryptek of Awesome**

It's some sort of hand! Holding what looks like a ball of energy - possibly fire!!!

Fishmen codex?

**Medium of Death**

Fantasy Supplement dealing with Mages/Magic?

Hand looks king of Elf like though. Possibly Khaine related?

**Alfndrate**

Whoever his manicurist is, he has to be paying out the wazoo for it, there's no way that much heat is good for his cuticles...

**Azreal13**

That's an evil hand, with more human proportions, and a fireball like that is more magical than psychic, so I'm going an evil Warhammer faction, probably Chaos.

Any popular sub factions in need of a supplement? Or possibly just an existing army book being given a digi makeover?

The only ones that come to mind are Empire Provinces, and Vampire count blood lines I guess. Maby Necrarch vampires? Necrachs were the only ones that didn't feel like they were touched on very much in the last vampire book.

**Eldercaveman**

In before Squats!

OT, I would second it seems more Fantasy than 40k.

You mean a Fishmen Army Book.

There is nothing that is not fantastic about this post. Nothing.

Looking at the thing I see a spikey bit on the shadow behind the hand so I guess Dark Elfs.

Or maybe Nagash?

**kronk**

Psycher Tau supplement.

**Allod**

It's Codex Kirby. The burning thing being the future of his company.

**Kanluwen**

I'm thinking something Daemon/Warriors of Chaos-y.

Be'Lakor making a comeback?

**kronk**

Everyone knows how much Alpharius dabbled in Chaos. It's codex Omegron.

**mjl7atlas**

It's an Army Codex Britonian Marines!

**DarkTraveler777**

I don't know why but I get a Lord of the Rings/Hobbit vibe from the image. Desolation of Smaug doesn't come out until December 13th, but maybe this is a teaser for something related to the Hobbit?

**kronk**

I don't recall anyone other than Smaug using fire in the hobbit...

**BairdEC**

The shape behind the hand &fireball really looks like a daemon prince wing.

They are making the whole Necromancer thing a part of the movies though right? Giving him something fire based would link him to the eye in LOTR.
That's my guess at least.

**Breotan**

Except that the movie trailer for DoS already used the Eye of Sauron image so I don't think they'll go with a "ball" of fire.

**SilverMK2**

Codex Jerry Lee Lewis?

**Scrub**

Haha! Brilliant!

My guess would be Nagash for Warhammer fantasy but I've absolutely no interest in the Hobbit tabletop game and I don't want to get my hopes up as I've a sneaking suspicion that given the December release slot it might be related.

Sauron has a very limited imagination.

GW will burn all upcoming printed Codices and armybooks with fireballs?

**chaos0xomega**

If you look, on the left side it looks like there is a figure there in the flames, possibly carrying something? Looks kinda like a daemonette to me though I have no idea what that could mean. Otherwise the hand is very human looking, and the background looks like a dragon wing or something

**kitch102**

Looks very movie quality to me, I don't know the hobbit story well at all though that would get my guess

**Jackal**

Looks chaos like, so im going with chaos dwarf on this one

**Lockark**

Looks like a bat wing in the backgrond. Im sticking with vampires. The colour pallet does sujest chaos, but it looks like a vampire to me.

**Melcavuk**

A Chaos Daemon supplement maybe, though the fire says Tzeentch for magic to me, the colouring isnt very Tzeentchy. Unless its a Lost and the Damned kind of thing with a powerful psyker on the front.

**nels1031**

Finally, the Pan Foo will be reviled!

**Haight**

Gandalf. He lights pine cones ablaze and lobs them at goblins, and also causes a fiery display in the goblin kings cave. Due mostly in part to Nenya, the ring of fire, which he wears.
