Wasn't one of the Stormast characters from Shadespire an ex-Blacksmith who ascended to Stormcast-hood?

A Lion with an anvil would fit that...

Oh yeah, they haven't done much about the Shadespire forces yet, and if they're still planning this year I would imagine some rumors would be for it.

I don't think they're going to do a preview of a model we've already seen?

Because they did do a fairly good reveal of the Shadespire boxed set forces I thought.

Yeeep, this whole Lion thing was a giant red herring. It's just another fancy Sigmarine, like the Sigmarine Space Wolf fellows.

here's the quote from FB:

We wouldn't be Lion if we said we didn't take Pride in our choices of Rumour Engine pictures.

They wouldn't be lying if they said they didn't take pride.

So they don't take pride in their choice.

10/10 grammar there. Or perhaps a cry for help.

Definitely looks Stormcast of some kind. Does anyone else think it looks like the bottom of the picture has been cropped to a point?

Likely a Stormcast of some description.

Perhaps it is time we got named characters?

Plenty of characters have been named in the books, and I think all of the major Stormhosts have had at least one or two stories, so it might happen. Still, AoS is pretty light on named characters other than big things like Alarielle or Nagash (or Compendium but those don't count), so I don't think that's super likely.

Looks like a chalice with a blood drop. OH MY, Sanguinius returns!

The GW site says - It looks angry… whatever it is.

Folks, the rumor that Sigmar is one of the 2 lost primarchs has been around forever, and GW has said "he aint". But what if Lion'el IS Sigmar???!!!!!11!!!!!

I mean... yeah!




Ol' Siggy does seem to go between Lions & Griffons, for his animals of choice, I wonder if they'd actually make a Sigmar model? I mean, we have N'ggoosh, and several Primarchs, it couldn't hurt, and people would probably dig it.

I really like the bigger character kits, as they are fun, and inspire people to build some crazy stuff.

A Sigmar in miniature could be ultra cool.

Afterall, we have Alarielle, Nagash and Archaon. He isn't like the Emperor.

We are getting an Emperor.

It has an almost Asiatic look to it. OH MY! Nippon are back! Maybe it's Angron?

Id bet that aint stormcast.

I'd take that bet. Go look at Vandus Hammerhand. This is almost 100% identical.

It's inevitable.

Forge World has already said that the HH series will end with a Siege of Terra book.

Does look very Stormcast-y.

That's a good thing too. I was afraid the Sigmarines hadn't got enough releases yet.

Sculpt the turkish bastard and get it over with!

I need him with a HUGE beard to put at the front of my army.

If it was oriental then it'd be from the Steppe Khanate which are basically fire Mongols. One becoming a Stormcast hero would be pretty sweet.

If that's an anvil then it could have something to do with Grungni. He's the one who made the Stormcast armor in the first place.

So could be a Azyrheim Duardin hero to go along with the recent dwarf focus.

Well, Dwarven Runes on Sigmars armour would make sense, if that was the case, no? He did forge a eternal bond between the Empire and the Dwarves...

And he's referenced in Inferno

I have my theory on that. Alarielle, Nagash and Archaon have all had models before. Sigmar has not. Neither has Grungni. So GW is unlikely to do a model for Sigmar. Tyrion, Teclis and Malerion however I am betting will have models.

Looks Nurgle or Cthulhu elves.

Well either this is Cthulhu deep one inspired shadow Aelves or GW is trolling. It this point I think at least 4 of this pics come from this release. It is depressing to know that we are not likely to see it until the primaris and Deathguard releases are done.

It's Patrick Star.
Warhammer: Sponge Bob Underwater Wars confirmed.

Yup.

Well someone did a great image cut of shard on facebook.

Definitely maybe C'thulhu Aelves.

Nurgle would have slime on it.
