I admire your positive attitude, but that's not likely to be the case.

Its more likely than a material they no longer use for new models.

**Warhams-77**

There havent been any new 40k finecast miniatures for a long while with the exception of the Canoness

It actually is.

I believe that they said a few weeks ago on Warhammer Live that some of the Rumor Engine previews are resin masters, not actually resin. And also that the painters sometimes get the production masters to paint for promo material.

**Elbows**

When was the last "new" model released in resin/fine-cast? I thought that was done.

**Warhams-77**

There were a few single, limited edition models like the Canoness and Slambo, but no new model kits in finecast. GW stopped using that material for their core ranges

**Ignispacium**

Looking forward to seeing if that tank is multi-build.

Those weren't limited editions, they were character pieces that are still available. But they haven't used any resin for full releases for a few years now I believe.

**Gamgee**

Yeah I'm going to agree I have a hard time imagining those little nubby feet looking like they belong to flying cthulhu style creatures of aelf sky pirates.

(in your opinion

)

...in my opinion, it looks about how the legs of a festering, bloated, slug/maggot abomination "beast of nurgle" should look.

**Desubot**

Looks like club foot.... feet?. feets?

**Binabik15**

Those feet look so perfect for a Nurgle turtle. I thought about building one if ever have reason to cut the feet of another plaguebearer, maybe I should hurry before someone else uses this for it. A Nurgle dino has a nice ring to it, too.

And I need those Death Guard models right NOW.

**daemonish**

I don't know why but it is giving me a grots/goblins vibe.

**Koppo**

My 1st thought on seeing the latest sneak peek "it's the Luggage's fat cousin"

**Verviedi**

I'll go with Nurgle Beast as well.

**Azreal13**

Solved!

**Zhrukal**

If is its a Beast of Nurgle it may form the basis of a new chariot of Nurgle, he is the only one without a chariot right now. The bad news is if you just want Beasts of Nurgle GW may not sell these new ones separately.

**Shaft, Lord of Slaanesh**

I think it's actually base filler like the maggots or nurglings from the Plaguebearers box - could just be a small Nurgle caterpillar for a much larger base *cough* Great Unclean One *cough*

if that is the case, I'd be fine with that - just need to pick up some extra 60mm bases and do a little model-tweaking...each "chariot" equals however many "steeds" it comes with worth of beasts...plus leftover bits for cool conversions from the "chariot" parts

**xerxeshavelock**

Necromunda Millipede. That's why the shortage in SW:A - because of the juicy full re-release of Necromunda in June!

**Carlovonsexron**

That it has a shell makes me think it has a chance to be cthulhu elves

A good percentage of 'Eavy Metal models you see in the White Dwarf or box art photography is resin.

I remember the resin Taurox getting people into trouble, because it made it into the WD despite a lot of warped parts (front grill and left front tracks not sitting on the floor).

Spoiler:

The entire Burning of Prospero set on the box and in the rule book is resin. Photography had choice words for Prospero Ahriman, because the fragile parts of the miniature kept breaking.

**twistinthunder**

I'm gonna go with some part of the Nurgle Blood Bowl team.

Bloater or Rotspawn but my money is on Rotspawn.

**Rayvon**

Yea I am hoping its the Rotspawn from BB as well !

**Binabik15**

Well, MY Ahriman had the dangly bits broken off, too. Stupid scarab tassels. Straight of the box they were snapped.

**Roknar**

No idea what the legs are, but i noticed this. Anybody got idea what this could be?

**Loopstah**

Probably a new Plague Marine heavy weapon like the Rubrics got one.

**nagash42**

For a minute there it looked like a grav gun.

**Azreal13**

There's something RT era Plasma-ey about it too..
