More Nurgle I reckon...



... or maybe a squig?

I'm thinking more like an Ink gland?

Could well be.

Definitely getting an aquatic vibe from it. Skin texture looks rubbery rather than firm?

Or Custodes.

Its quite octopod like but a standard is very possible. Maybe its the vampire pirates

Undead Pirates would be just the kind of original idea AoS needs...

Black Scorpion do some good ones and do Reaver IIRC but some ships would be nice - prefer them a bit bigger than the Overlords ones though - or at least if they are that small just say they are minor vessels.

Definitely a squig.

Because you've decided that it's an octopi.

Reminds me a bit of the Giant Spined Beast that Forge World used to make.

Or I looked at the evidence before coming to my suggestion. On account that's what I did?

First thought was some kind of cephalopod, as others have mentioned.

Octopus hat for the Lord Celestant of the aquatic chamber. No question. Vampirates are a myth.

I really don't see anything aquatic about this. I could be doing the same thing here, but a lot of people seem to be finding evidence to fit an assumption rather than the other way around. Now that I look at it, the dark spot is almost certainly a nostril rather than an eye. Seems to be the close-up of the snout on something furry and maybe snarling. Maybe an updated Manticore or the mount of some new hero.

First thing that came to mind for me was some old-style Slaaneshi Fiends.

This type :

I just put the image in Google, and Google returns black and white pictures of furry animal's snouts. So maybe you are on the right track here?

It reminds me a bit of antique dolphin statues (from when people thought dolphins were fish):



Tzeentch fish?

If you look, the dark spot isn't indicating anything other than a hole with some detail inside of it. The way the 'feathers'/fur look there, it's a painted model so I wouldn't expect anything to be missing. It looks like, as I mentioned earlier, someone looked at a lizard and copied that exposed eardrum.

Don't think of this as the snout in any regards. It really looks like it is the neck for something. Compare it to the Pallador mount here.

You're looking at the spot where the head and neck meet, with the front part of the photo being the area directly behind the head.

I could see that being an ear hole, Kan (not sure what the actual anatomical name is for that structure on a reptile). I still don't think we're seeing scales, though. GW tends to make scales more symmetrical than this.

I’m thinking new plastic Fiend of Slaanesh!

Which is why when I posted initially, I commented that it reminds me of a drake/wyrm style creature with a bit of Asiatic dragon feather/fur styling.

Also a possibility. Maybe some hornless variants?

This. GW is infuriatingly boring.

Looks like a Fiend of Slaanesh to me...





LordShaft.

Hmm, I took that mention of a squig as a joke but now I could see it as a possibility if this year's plan is to give all four factions something. A new squig to accompany the shaman isn't out of the realms of possibility.

Odd one out, but maybe something Death related?

Though it does invoke a squid / squidlike look and feel most of all.

could well be Ork related.

Cawl is replacing space marine bikes with legless hover octopi. Their legs replaced with cawl pattern lasrifles, firing cawl pattern laserbolts. S5 -1 Assault 2 30"

I've just decided that the best way to do things is to expect that every new release is a Space Marine release of some sort. Can't disappoint me if the bar is non-existent.

Codex: Octomarines

Wait, octomarines.
Marines with an octopus motif
Octopi are a multilimbed sea creature.
Hydras have multiple limbs and are also aquatic
Alpharius Confirmed.

Nah.

It's a squig.
