I've seen too many different races use similar gems to use that as a divining rod. I'm more focused on the overall style. I agree that it looks like some sort of arcane collar or staff, likely for an Aelf mage.

Duardin beard comb.

I'm going Aelf too. Definitely not stormcast, the style is wrong.

High Elf White Lion?

Lion El'Jonson?

Huh, I doubt High Elves will get anything new without a complete redesign.

Maybe a Hero character for the Stormcast Vanguard Auxiliaries? They already all wear pelts and furs, this would be the next step for a Hero.

Or that, but that seems to obvious.

I'm kinda hoping it's not Stormcast again, they already have so many units. Throw the other guys a bone or two

PETA gonna lose their gak

That's a black and white filter applied over a painted model, here's it plugged into a colorizer. Nothing earth shattering, but still interesting.



To be redone later when I can find a site that doesn't make logos all over everything.

I'm going to take a leap of faith (and wishlisting) and say that GW is just on-the-nose enough to leak a picture of a Lion for the Lion El'Jonson model

ONE CAN DREAM

High Elves as a whole don't need to get anything new or a redesign necessarily.

White Lions became their own "subfaction", the Lion Rangers. They currently have two units--White Lions and the Lion Chariot.
Could be a plastic hero, since Korhil got discontinued.

Doesn't Sanguinius have a lion on his shoulder?

Because of the pointy ears it seems probable to be an elf unit of some kind.

Because pointy eared humans have pointy eared animals for what ever reason.

It's usually depicted white and more like a giant Leopard or Cheetah.

Don't get me wrong, I would love for the Sanguinius resurrection to happen, but I'm fairly sure that's not his cat.

Yes. Sanguinius has the pelt of a Carnodon over his shoulder. I doubt it would be Sanguinius given that he does not even have rules yet in 30k and there are still primarchs like Dorn and Alpharius who still need models and already have rules to use them.

It's Sanguinius. The Lion is never depicted as wearing any pelts of any sort. It goes against his no-nonsense personality.

This is Primaris El' Jonson...

So it's either The Lion, Sanguinius or new Lion Ranger High Elves?

Either of these is perfect. I do love me a good Lion.

I like your train of thought.

Don't get me wrong, I would love for it to be Sanguinius. I just don't think it is.

I mean, he's "dead" and the number of people that will lose their gak over him coming back would be unreal.

However, I've always maintained that the Jesus allegory with Sanguinius is HUGE.

I fully expect Sanguinius to be "resurrected" at some point.

This could be the Forgeworld Horus Heresy Sanguinius as well. But yes, the Angel Rising seems like an appropriate thing to have happen.

Can't a Primarch get a new pelt?

I don't think that Cheetah skin would last for 10,000 years. It certainly wouldn't retain its quality that's for sure.

...It was a fake cheetah pelt, M'kay? The imperial treasury was a bit short on cash and daddy had to fake one in Forge World Tai One.

Well its ether that or they secretly chucked his dead corpse, pelt and all into the fridge to keep him minty fresh for 10k years.

It could actually be Sanguinius, looks pretty close. Will they reveal the (HH) miniature at Warhammer Fest?

You know Sanguinus has a whole walk in closet full of cat skins. One for formal occasions, one for around the house, a black one for Deathwatch Appreciation Day, and an older ratty one for getting down and doing the black rage boogie in. Stands to reason dunnit?

Deathwatch Appreciation Day... DAD. I see what you did there.
