The guys with the red skin in those pictures are Wrathmongers that you had reported before
http://natfka.blogspot.com/2015/01/endtimes-archaon-new-models.html
There is one skullreaper in the bottom left hand corner, and the Blood Thirster is the Reaver of the Bloody Path and costs 500pts to field.
Skullreapers- twohanded weapons and chaos armour- come in at 40pts, and a can take a champion for 10pts. Eye of the Gods and Marke of Khorne are its special rules. Their weapons grant +1strength are magical attacks and gain the extra attack special rule. They have a 5+ unit size
Wrathmonger -wrath flails and chaos armour- Is 55pts each and can also take a champion. Eye of the Gods and Marks of Khorne come on both models and champion upgrades are going to cost 10pts each. The flails give +1 strength in the first round of close combat and had other rules I dont remember. Unit size of 5+

That is not an anointed. That is probably Caradryan. And yes he's on a flame phoenix, not his named frostie. There have been rumors that the current incarnate of fire (the dwarf) dies, and Caradryan is chosen to be the new / next one.
Same rumors also say that Tyrion comes back as one of the incarnates (Light i think ? can't remember at this point).
Also that bloodthirster is awesome. I may pick one up to stand in as a K'daai Destroyer at some point.

The model is an Anointed on a Fireheart Phoenix.
As it stands right now, GW has not been doing anything as drastic as altering the mounts for named characters which already have mounts.
If they had wanted it to be Caradryan, they could have left him alone on his Frostheart Phoenix and made him the Incarnate of the Heavens. Until we have evidence that it is in fact Caradryan, Incarnate of Fire it is simply an Anointed on a Fireheart Phoenix.
Now, is there the chance that they'll say screw it and just use an Anointed of Asuryan and then call it a day for the photo shoots when in reality it is meant to be Caradryan, Incarnate of Fire?
Absolutely. After all, they didn't bother releasing new models for any of the stuff in Khaine when the vast majority is older than my youngest brother.
Same rumors also say that Tyrion comes back as one of the incarnates (Light i think ? can't remember at this point).
The rumors that put Caradryan as the Incarnate of Fire also couldn't keep track of what Lores actually had Incarnates, so...

Take a look at that pic again. Now go take a look at pages 69, 74, 76 and 77 in the 8th ed hardcover High Elf army book.
Note that annointeds hold their weapons in 2 hands at a diagonal, whereas Caradryan holds his in a single hand upright. Note also, that Caradryan's weapon is a named weapon, and its pretty ubiquitous in design across his foot and mounted models ( a good comparison is seen on page 69 of the book where we can see foot and mounted models within inches of each other, and on 74 is where we get a good shot of the mounted Annointed), and does not look like the Annointed's halberd ( Caradryan's chopping frontal head of his halberd is significantly larger than the rear head of it, whereas the Annointed's is symmetrical).
Harder to spot, but caradryan also has different cloak bits which make them extra-wind-swepty as compared to the annointed's cloak bits.
In the Voltron-Incarnates picture, its pretty darn obvious that rider is wearing a VERY white cloak windswept. Would you agree that it looks... well... damn near exactly like the one on page 69 of the high elves book, given the angular differences of the pics ?
Pretty sure that is Caradryan's rider mount kit from the phoenix kit re-mounted on a Flamespyre Phoenix with Ashtari's head minus the Helmet, potentially. The glare on the pic right at the head makes it hard to tell if it has the helm piece on that distinguishes Ashtari from the phoenix head that just has its mouth open (you can see both open mouth versions on page 69 again, within inches of each other).
Honestly it could be Ashtari ; if Caradryan became the incarnate of fire, who's to say he couldn't rekindle Ashtari's cooling flames (yes conjecture, but its not a hard leap to make).
So given some pretty convincing evidence that the model is Caradryan, as opposed to "nuh uh" i'm going to stand by my opinion. The only thing i can't make out in the picture is the phoenix guard helmet flutes, which again, are unique to Caradryan. I'm pretty sure that's Caradryan on a Flamespyre.

Caradryan isn't the incarnate of fire. Ungrim Ironfist, slayer king is. It is mentioned in thanquol that moment. The more interesting thing is that Nagash is with the "heroes".

I guess Chaos is a big enough deal that even Nagash has to go "No, wait, I've got to do something about this. I'll deal with the rest'a y'all after.".
But Nagash probably doesn't speak like that. Probably.

Rumor has it either the Wind of Fire leaves him, or Ungrim dies post-Thanquol.
I'm well aware Ungrim is the incarnate in Thanquol.
Let me ask you this: if we're going by what we know in already printed books...
... why is Tyrion in that picture ? Last we saw him, he was assuming room temperature due to a slight case of being dead.
Further, where's Ungrim ?
Is it not at least plausible that an incarnate can die, and the wind can be infused into another ? Barring Nagash, wouldn't this be a very good way of explaining that Incarnates != immortality ?
