Closest I can think of might would be a mars pattern plasma cannons

I'll say it isn't a nurgle beast..

The level of detail on it makes me think that this is actually a small critter...

Possible a Nurgle thingy on some hero's base.. Or something from AOS

but definitely a small critter

Yeah I agree. My first thought was some critter on a base.

It's legs remind me of the glottkins legs.

Very much looks like a simple Plague Marine with a plasma gun to me. Have Plague Marines ever been able to use heavy weapons in later editions?

Weren't there Plague Havocs?

I get a plasma vibe from that weapon, but we have been getting "Ectoplasm" weapons for Chaos stuff too right?

I haven't seen a Chaos codex since 2nd. They used to be allowed one special weapon (and your champion could carry some junk if he joined the squad). I'd never seen heavy weapon Plague Marines.

I'd imagine it's a Mk1 plasma gun.

Is it just me, or do those legs look impossible to cast in plastic? There are several places where they seem to curve in a way which would require a soft mould, unless they are made from a bunch of different pieces and joined together with very well concealed seams.

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

Yes, it is kinda RT-era. It looks somewhat oversized though.

For a minute there it looked like a grav gun.

It's the Death-Guard variety known as The Chav Gun, causes a wasting of neural matter along with strange outbreaks of a blotchy brown black tartanesque rash

Maybe the multi-leg thing is a Palanquin of Nurgle? They don't have a current model of that, right?

I could even see a Beast/Palanquin dual kit using those legs and different upper parts.

Nurgle beast? : /

It looks like a chibo figure or a toddlers toy. Looks really childish and silly.

(in your opinion )

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

Oh, I don't know, I think Nurgle could definitely get into the toddler toy business.

"Hey kids! (Cough, cough, hack-wheeze) Come give my new buddies a great big hug! Then, go home and hug your family and friends. You'll all be feeling-hack, cough-the warmth of Nurgle's love in no time!"

But yeah, the way those legs have mucus lines connecting them these things are going to be disgusting when they're painted up.

That would be my guess too as most likely candidate. With the upcoming DG release, they're either not going to release a unit that can use it, or they're going to have to make one for it.
If exalted sorcerers got one, these will need one too.

Fulgrims coiled tail

Sounds like a swear. "By Fulgrim's coiled tail!"

So, they just asked "What in the realms/galaxy could this be?".

Plastic Nurgle Beast. Easy.

I don't see how people could expect so many hooves fitting on a 32mm base for a Blood Bowl resin Beast.

Also, not because it has a grey-white color means that it is resin. So far there have been several entries showing sculpts with the same color and as far as I remember they have all been plastic.

oh man...you just reminded me of this ...a big green worm/maggot-shaped stuffed toy/nightlight


...and yeah, I'm ridiculously happy that this looks like a new beast...I've really wanted to get some beasts for a while now, but the current model is just awful - maybe GW's worst current model, imo...I've even been looking all over the place at third-party stores and stuff, but haven't found anything quite right...my next step was going to be just trying to sculpt my own, which probably would've gone poorly

...I'm gonna be all over these when they're eventually for sale, can't wait!

Ooh, I remember those guys. They even had a cartoon.

...now they're just disturbing...like furbies and troll dolls..ugggh.

What model do you mean, by the way? The Glottkin? (Sorry if you're talking about 40k, I only know fantasy. )

The nurglings are kind of melded together with seams in that kind of way, I definitely see this being some kind of nurgle beast. Seams will be hidden with layers of rotting fat. Will it be as generic as a standard beast of Nurgle? Can't really tell...

I will be immensely surprised if this isn't part of the Nurgle release.

Spoiler:

Still better than the fantasy minotaurs/doombulls

Either a skaven or a tentacle.

Probably a Skaven tail or a Goth worm.

Definitely Skaven. That tail ring bit is on ALOT of Skaven models. Take a look at the Warlord.



Or the Skaven light Scramblers

Definitely leaning towards goth worm, there can be no other plausible answer. XD
But seriously, excited to see what Skaven get.

Dammit, late again!

Definitely Skaven. As well as the ring, there's the tail segments that give it away as a ratty .

Questions is, will it be sigmar skaven or blood bowl.

There also seems to be a bit of scenery visible on the base that looks like the edge of a stone block to me. That would lean more toward Sigmar than BB.

Largely incidental, but just in case people haven't noticed, this is a b+w pic of a painted model, not a colour pic of grey plastic/resin.

SQUEAK!!!

Could be AoS, could be that new Hex Game the name of which presently escapes me...
