This is a claw from the current Daemonettes. Remind you of anything?

Look at the way the “tail” (for lack of clarity” is set into the presumably “rock”. It’d definitely for holding the model up.

I stand corrected. Never noticed the etchings in Daemonette claws. I'm going to change my guess (slightly) to a new Slaanesh Herald.

I think this one, last one and the 15th May one are all from the same set, possibly the same model and I'd guess that it's Slaanesh and I'm going to speculate there will be a coordinated release for 40k and AoS with daemons, emperor's children and possibly a new mortal faction for AoS and an emphasis on body modification, music and ornate decoration over sexy BDSM stuff.

Also, if they are previewing Fulgrim, I would be surprised if they didn't do Leman Russ first, since there have been 2 chaos primarchs and only 1 loyalist so far and LR is probably going to be the biggest seller they could do.

EDIT: What happened with that harp-bow thing? Don't see it in the first page summary, but it would fit with Slaanesh.

I would love an over- elaborate mortal Slaanesh faction.

They could go super pretty hemaphroditic Kingdom Death style, or twisted body modification... perhaps a bit of both?

I thought Raging Heroes' Lust Elves were headed in the direction of where I could see modern Slaanesh going.

I could see this one being Russ:


That, or some kind of squig-primarch of course.

Even though some of the concepts are nice, Raging Heroes models look a bit too much "porn star costume party" for my taste. I would personally prefer it GW went in a more grotesque direction. Kingdom Death (the monsters and game stuff, not the pinups) is a good shout although it's several rating steps above where GW would be willing to go.

I'm gonna go with...It's Angron, standing on a base that has a pulped up Slaanesh model; so we get an idea of what the new Slaanesh stuff will look like, while actually getting a big, nasty Khorne model; Slaanesh's hated foe.

I think something AoS Slaanesh is more likely - the light and dark streamers seem to fit perfectly with "held between Light and Shadow" that they have going on there.

They're definitely something quite fine as well, so I think more streamers from armour/loin /hair against a tree stump (with the picture rotated about 45 degrees).

See, a big Slaanesh release is what I WANT; and GW loves misdirection. Which is why I’m predicting that outcome.

Angle is wrong for a pulped Slaaneshi on a base, you're looking at a Stormcast hero holding a slain Slaaneshi warrior as a trophy/warning to others in that case then.

Next 'rumour':



More nurlge??

It's moon clan. That's my hunch.

Or something from Rogue Trader.

it has a nurgly feel, so it could fit with rogue trader

I guess the only other outside option is Undead,

but I think Nurgle(oid) stuff from Rogue Trader is most likely

hmm, maybe Tyranid/GSC? Do we know what Brain Leeches look like?

I believe that is one of the new mounts for Stormcast Eternals.

I'm so done with Nurgle. It is all samey and boring.

Heh, sweating maggots - looks like they’re falling out of his armpit. Definitely Nurgle.

Whatever it is, the left hand swarm of bugs looks like it will snap off in 0.02 seconds. Not a lot appearing to hold those bits on.

It could be an undead unit - a decaying Vampire Dragon with maggots falling from its gut

*will agree Nurgle has had way too much good attention as of late - let others get some cool stuff ;*

I was just going to post this! Ironically, I'm sick of Nurgle. Its to the point where (and I NEVER thouht I would say this) even more Khorn would e appreciated. Of course what the ranges really need is new slaanesh, and Darkoath barbarians.

Whatever it is, that looks painted, so it cannot be too far away from being properly revealed.

Armpit maggots looks a bit gross The question is who's armpit?

Also getting a Moon Clan vibe, weren't those bugs also on or around the Malign Portents grot character?

His looked a bit different. Had eyes while these don't seem to.

Undead Manbat hero for AoS.

Just to the right of the nipple there seems to be either a piercing or a metal surgical staple.

As most of the mutated chaos guys in Rogue Trader have those staples I reckon it's an unseen model from that (plus there are big flies in that game so these could be their maggots).

Latest rumour is either GSC or Nurgle (likely Rogue Trader).

Funny you say that as they were hinting we'd see Soulblight(Vampires) stuff at some point.
