Or not. Years of waiting isn't that weird. People don't seem to appreciate just how long lead times GW has(as evident by people thinking knight codex would have affected after release ork codex or even more lol space wolf backlash...). While unusual remember eldar jetbikes waited over a decade for release...

Seriously though, I'm interested to see what they do with the Darkoath faction. If they can refrain from going too ridiculous with the detailing and don't make the models too oversized, a new modern box of not-Marauders, maybe even with some lady barbarians, could be really cool.

This is a great point. Look at SoB, we now know there never were any models until the survey told them how much money they could make with new models. It might be that SoB will be the first army to not have a long lead-time on models, which could end up being a bad thing is they decide to just push out a bunch of booby nuns with mediocre rules.

The Warqueen and Chieftain are probably indicative of what we can expect from the faction.

Seems to be a Chaos inscence burner. Some type of wizard or cleric maybe?

It's AoS, they'll need a silly name made of vaguely thematic compound words.

Ehh, I'm hoping the "line infantry" unit, if such a thing comes along, is a smidge less ostentatious. I don't expect them to be what I actually want out of the box, but it'd be nice if the OTT stuff is limited enough that they can be converted.

To be honest, the Darkoath Warqueen and Chieftain are very... humble, to be... a Chieftain and a Warqueen. They don't look out of place with a modest marauder horde.

I was thinking this too. But then, the other heroes that were released in the Malign Portents are also kind of 'humble'. They're not the biggest baddies in the army. The Knight of Shrouds, for example, is definitely outshined by the version of him on a steed, or Lady Olynder.

Slaves to Darkness has some bigger, more impressive leader type models. I think the Warqueen and Chieften are exactly as you described - leaders of Marauders more than anything else.

if they redo marauders ... that will be bloody awesome

I'm hoping its the darkoaths and not the gobbos who get revealed at Nova. But we'll see...

I agree. I would absolutely like marauders to get an overhaul and that old kit go away rather than a 'new' darkoath barbarian kit as a different unit along side them..

Possibly related to the upcoming Beastmen release?

It might not even be chaotic.
Compare it to the iron halo on the primaris chaplain for example.
With the central skull it could even be made to represent a relic saint with halo.

Id love it to be some heretical flail for a new daemon prince or something, but it might as well be a saintly walker for the adepta sororitas.

That's a good point, another example would be the sector imperalis stuff, which has an imperial figure with a chaos star looking halo --

The rose from the 7th of November is also from the nighthaunt warband. It is the one resting on the leader's arm.

I knew that rose seemed off the recent banshees ... nevertheless this model is technically banshee material :p

The night haunt models are absolutely phenomenal aren't they?

they are great ... but at the same time, all of them (excluding shadespire) are monopose every last one of them

The double gun from one of the earliest RE is the Warboss on trike, isn't it?

EDIT: also the teeth are the flying squig, the wheel is one of the buggies, thought curiously enough, I don't see GSC looking handle in the new aberrant kit?

It is. Not the one mounted on the trike as I thought from the blurry photo, but the one the driver is holding.

 Irbis wrote:

the teeth aren't from the flying squig nor the flaming bull spell ... both set of teeth don't match the leak

Bet the teeth are a gobbo from the same Underworlds team tho.

It's hard to confirm from the current pics, but it looks like this:



is from the scenery bits in the Rogue Trader set.

it looks like, but unfortunately, it isn't a match. The corners don't match nor the position on the flasks

What about the one carried by Sanistasia Minst?


Edit: no, sorry; her one only has three phials.

btw here is a huge coincidence:


Both weapons aren't a match, but both look extremely close. Since the claw comes from the new army out of rogue trader, are we looking at a possible expansion pass the boxset? Maybe the leak wasn't about a new slaanesh model.

Or a common base claw got turned into a Slaanesh appendage and a similiar looking crustacean Chaos mutation that is meant to evoke a deep sea feeling for the Void to fit with the ship part of space ship that got stuck on a Nurgle mutant. With 3D sculpting that's also a possibility.


Or it'll be for a new race included in a one-off game about carpenting, who knows at this point with rumour engine pics.

Almost certainly Astartes I’d say?
