Snakebites in some regard? Automatically Appended Next Post: Also, the stiching is too crude to be Emperor's children. Compare it to Fabius Bile, who has very neat stiching.

Definitely skin or hide stitched together. I could definitely see it be Fabius Bile. My only other guess would be a cloak for another Darkoath hero (Warqueen has a stiched cloak) if we're still thinking they're getting a release in the future. I'm going to lean toward Bile, though.

But look at the existing Bile model- the stiching is super neat, it is so small you can barely even see it on the model. The guy is a professional surgeon after all, and a perfectionist to boot.
The stiching is far to crude on that rumour pic. I reckon Darkoath or Orks are far more likely.

Firstly, this would be a plastic Bile, and plastics can't render the detail quite as finely as metal/resin could. Secondly we've no real reference for how closely zoomed the image is.
Not saying I absolutely believe it's Bile, but your reasons it isn't don't necessarily hold up.

Compare it to the model though- Bile has neat, well-cut lines with neat, barely visible stiching. Even with plastic being less detailed, the haphazard shape and crude stitching of the RE pic does not match the neat style of Fabius' coat.

Comparing a potential replacement model with the existing model may not be the best idea. Ahriman changed pretty significantly with his plastic update.

Given the fluff we're seeing for Slaanesh on the AoS side of things, I'd say his comparison is not a bad one though.

Oh, I'm not fully convinced it's Bile either, but I feel Haighus may be overstating the importance of the existing model. All I know for sure is that it's pretty obvious that this is stitched hide or flesh. Combine this with loose talk, rumors, and the aesthetics of existing model lines, and it's most likely Slaanesh, Grots, or Darkoath. The reason I lean toward Flavius Bile is that several other recent previews can fairly certainly be linked to Slaanesh while only a couple previews make me think Darkoath, and it doesn't look ragged enough to be a Greenskin model IMO.

I am probably overstating it, but the style really doesn't match. It isn't just about the sizes of the stitches, but the way they are uneven, and the lines are rough for the pieces of skin too. The existing EC stuff has generally neater, straighter lines, especially Bile.
The kind of roughness is much more congruent with the stitching on Ork trousers.

Comparison to the 20 year old model suggests you might have a point, however comparison to a more contemporary (but still official) rendering suggests maybe not..

For a dude with 10k+ years under his belt, he aged quite well. Needs a haircut, maybe.
But seriously, Bile didn't join slaanesh due to the need of sexual adventures or other lust driven motivations, but simply by chance. His legion fell for the bondage goddess, he simply followed. That guy loves to tinker with science, he's a big nerd, he has no time for women or men, unless he can make them into super soldiers

honestly, it could even be an actual ork that's been stitched back together by the doks...it kinda reminds me of the Mad Dok Grotsnik model...maybe a new, less armoured look for Ghazghkull Thrakka? skarboyz?

People saying Bile are missing the fact the piece is large and flat, not a coat.
Without prior knowledge, the only reasonable guess would be a banner. Since we're sort of expecting grot airships, it is probably a sail.
