Or maybe they’re bringing back mercenary companies and this is the new Paymaster….

It's more likely to be something Free People.

There's a bit of what looks like a prayer-strip 'nailed' into it.

scribe feather from a new epidemius model

I believe I've seen models with peacock feathers before. Some Warhammer model or perhaps they were just painted that way.

Empire do have some feathers though.

Its a peacock feather... Peacock translated into german is Pfau... Pfau is my family name... I definitely deserve my own 40k model... GW's next release is EmberlordofFire?

New Freeguild will be the end of me. SO EXCITED.

Plastic Blue Scribes, running (floating) late to the Tzeentch release?

Not sure if it's a plume, quill, or perhaps a feather on an actual beastie.

The bit at the top looks like an ear to me - too well defined for something like the eye on a peacock's tail feather?

Under the feather you can see a purity seal. So it could be freeguild for AoS or a Imperium model for 40k (maybe Inquisition)

It's a piece of parchment for sure. Still doesn't rule out the Scribes!!

Presumably they'd have come out with the Disciples of Tzeentch release though.

Pretty marines are getting official models

Rainbow Marines maybe. GW seem to be bringing back old school stuff lately...

Probably Mechanicus

Epidemius, perhaps?

Im with you.

I see the paper that is dirty.

What is beneath the feather? All I can see is an ornament that is sticking out from something.

Here ya go http://www.the-ninth-age.com/ Seriously, no need to cry for a new rank and file game from GW, "9th age" should be able to fix your woes. (Well, except for the TKs )

I'm feeling either Yannari or something Undead related.

9th Age pretty much died for me when they decided they're going to make it its own thing with its own setting rather than a fan continuation of WHFB.

I'm more fan of Kings of War myself, but please remember that you can always separate rules and fluff.

As long as you have appropriate rules tu represent your units, you can still play in the Old World.

Also in case you are not already aware, note that Kings of War as an army list perfect for old Tomb Kings players : The Empire of Dust (in the Uncharte Empire supplement for Kings of War)

Back on topic, the feather does look like something that could fit the Emp... er the Free Peoples theme, but I don't have much hope that it will be just some standard human with a feather hat, I feat some exotic "unique-so-we-can-license-the-look-and-name" stuff, but who know, we might get a good surprise ?

But if they move to their own setting they'll be expanding and altering the rules for that setting not for WHF, and if I'm going to have to fanny about with a modified version of my own devising to keep things "proper" WHF which I will need a group to play anyway, why not just play 6th Ed WHFB?

As to the feather - honestly I'm kind of torn on Free People. On the one hand I don't want the existing Empire plastics to go away which they undoubtedly would if GW significanty changed the aesthetic, but on the other I can't ever see myself getting properly into AoS while half the armies are still just WHFB models with even sillier names stuck on the boxes. They still can't seem to make up their mind if they want AoS to be its own new thing or an explicit continuation of the original setting, and as long as there's too much of the latter there I fear I'll keep bouncing off. I'd much rather see all the AoS releases have the same level of thematic and aesthetic "twist" to them as Overlords do.

Exactly.

Except for a a few exceptions (savage orcs, ghouls, beatmens), the legacy army should be dropped from AOS, and the aesthetic of these races should have a makeover. Until they do so, the game will only be an uninteresting mishmash

Now THAT looks dark elf...

It looks fairly similar to the "Kurnoth Scythes" that the Kurnoth Hunters have access to. Right down to the 'teeth' on the back of the Kurnoth Scythe intended for the Huntmaster.

In case you're unfamiliar with them.

We're supposed to see a new hero for each of the Grand Alliances with Firestorm, maybe the Order one is a Kurnoth hero?

the order hero will most likely be a stormcast and I would say bloodbound for chaos

I say its a Vampire Pirate

Definitely a Dark Elf vibe off that.

Curves usually mean elves (weird sentence). Their aesthetic tends to curves not angels.

it's also kind of "hook-ish".

Are the rumours still their about Deep-elves?

Well, deep elves were rumoured by Hastings.

He's often accurate (certainly more often than not). But, of late he's not been as reliably as before in the short term - instead we're seeing his rumours come about a good while after.

I'd love to see them though. There's a Dark Elf pirate captain in City of Secrets, so I'm keen to see them!

We already have "Deep-Aelves".
It's the Scourge Privateers faction in Order. The Dark Elf Pirate Captain that Doc Grotsnik refers to is a Black Ark Fleetmaster.

The "new" race that we're really waiting on is the Shadowkin, who we saw a preview of in the Silver Tower box(the Tenebrael Shard and Mistweaver Saih). A lot of people have latched onto Shadowkin as being pirates or something like that, taking the "Lovecraftian" aspect that's been purported by rumormongers as being a "Cthulu-esque" faction. We know nothing about them beyond they have a propensity for guerilla warfare(this is from the Fyreslayers book) and that some of their fighters are described as "being able to turn themselves into shadows".

As mentioned, we've seen them. They're a Legacy faction that has fared pretty well. They're even in the Anvilgard box coming up for preorder this week.

the dark elf captain from the city of secrets is a woman, so its not that model
