Looks Aelven to my eyes.

it indeed looks aelfish or eldaris. So it could be some new model for the ynnari

Looks harpish. Bonesinger maybe?

eeeeverything can be a stormcast.

I wouldn't put it past GW to start going the Gillette Razor route with Stormcast, enticing their players to buy the new Stormcasts because their crossbows have FOUR strings for a LEGENDARY SMOOTH SHOT.

It’ll be a Slaanesh mini holding a harp.

Slaaneshi murder harp.

That would be my guess. Possibly the other end of the strings are embedded in flesh or something. I expect any new Slaanesh stuff will be emphasising less sexual forms of excess and music has been one of their themes for quite a while. I don't think it's a new noise marine, but it could be a similar kind of concept for AoS.

Not sure about it being a harp - they don't have rings holding the strings do they?

I'm hoping it's a warmachine of some kind for Idoneth or Daughters of Khaine. Both could use some 'oompf' for range.

To me it looks definitely something with a "Dark Elven" flavor, so Daughters of Khaine, Darkling covens and such, or Drukhari, but would be a bit weird, or Slaaneshi, which, given the releases, sounds like the most possible option.
Still, looks quite cool!

I doubt idoneth or dok will get anything new soon, seeing how they're just released

Never say never. There's definitely something unreleased for Idoneth that got as far as having promo pictures taken, at least if the Reaver promo photos are right about the eel bit.

I'd like to see something more for Daughters, however the bigger issue with them is more that the way their army costs out they are rather on the elite side of pricing; so it can be hard to find the points space to actually fit lots of neat stuff into them.


That said I would hope that GW will push out Endless Spells pretty fast - if Daughters were made with 2.0 in mind then the design and ground work must be done for their endless spells. I'd really hope GW cleans up that and gets out the endless spells or all the current Battletome armies

If it is a harp (which it looks like it could be) the only thing I can think of would be some sort of Siren.

This would fit the Deeepkin and Drukhari got Medusae so it's not a huge stretch to think of Idoneth Deepkin Sirens. But guess they are not in the book?

Other than that it could be something Slaaneshi but it definitely looks Aelf or Aeldari.

Ooooo... Id love to know more about that!

Huh. I was hoping for less Aelfy AoS stuff and more more Orky 40k stuff.

It's not worth a thing, but I was chatting with one of my local GW store workers, and we were talking about faction endless spells, and he said "In my opinion, they will release them fast enough, before the end of the year".

It's probably just wishful thinking and little more from both me and him, but I think such a timeframe might be appropriate. The kits are small enough to release 2-3 of them per month without pushing back other releases.

Which reaver image is that?

Ask and ye shall receive...

So, the GW webstore has the following image up:

That eel is not present in any of the Idoneth kits. I own everything barring Lotan(and his octopus accountant!) but looking at sprue pictures...it's nowhere to be seen. That image was shown from the very beginning and people pointed it out to them, but whenever it gets pointed out...there's no comment.

Now, there is an eel in the Reavers box. But it's this one:


StraightSilver: It's funny you mention Sirens. There's a mention of Sirens in the Idoneth book, but it's not really anything substantial. It talks about the net launchers on the Allopex firing nets woven from Siren hair.

I reckon that latest rumour picture is part of a Slaanesh chariot, like the one from the Malign Portents short story.

First reaction it was a harp, but seeing how pics are altered, it could be upside down, and holding up some kind of sails. Maybe chaos dwarfs flying ships? Sorry forgot the proper name for them in Age of Sigmar.

New repeater bolt thrower? Each string used to launch more bolts. It would be stupid for them all being attached to the same arm, but who at GW would really worry about actual weapon function.

Not sure if it’d be a harp- the two strings on the left are angled inward. I’d say it’s a frame with something hanging from it.

Not necessarily. It's potentially doable, provided the arms are supporting everything in sequence.

It's be weird as hell but the old Reaper Bolt Thrower had a similar setup that we just never really saw showcased.

The mortis shield is solved. As everyone thought, it is terrain.

Squig-skin cloak, covering a squig captain

Looks remarkably similar to the Tenebrael Shard's stitched flesh tabard

Currently he is unlisted on the webstore separate to the Silver Tower set too.

That said, fleshskin cape crudely stitched together could be a couple of factions

I think it’d be easier to guess what factions it wouldn’t be.

New Fabius Bile alongside an Emperors Children release perhaps?
