The big thing is the dual announcement that Disney is buying GW and the addition of the Twi-lek to the list of T’au client species as a test for full integration.
Codex: Wookiee Nation out next year if it goes well…

That's not funny.





Okay, it's pretty funny.




But if it happens, I'm blaming you.

Probably the horn of a demon/beast head that is hold by a new primaris marine / custodes / sigmarguy...

Based on the last year and a half all you have to do is bet 'Chaos release' and you have a 97% chance of being right.

So GW just posted this and it solves some of rumor pictures.







Potentially this one as the new winged witches are shown using similarly shaped weapons

Thanks, I’ll update OP with that ASAP.

I'd say the arrows too, check out at second 15 for the bow-woman.

Yup. Defo the arrows.

Anyone clock the weird Elfy vane thing?

That's Morathi......

(I'll get my coat)

The arrows are not the same. the tips of the feathers are longer on the snake kits and the quarrel doesn't fit the aesthetic.

Yes, not exactly the same arrows.
And the new models indeed have a lot fewer trims than the classic witch elves, so maybe it's not part of that release.

We've heard many rumors of a second aelf army. This quiver and the elfy/eldary fin could match light aelves.

Looks like the arrow rumor is still unsolved then. Might be from a different model in this release, but not one we've seen clearly yet.

How can these girls possibly be part of the Order faction?

Aren't they all bloodthirsty monsters and religious zealots?

Well, here's the thing. In order to qualify for order you must fill this questionary:

"Do you hate chaos?" You need to say something along the lines of yes.

Second question.

"Are you a servant of Gorkamorka/Nagash?"

If yes:

"Do you still want to fight alongside us, pretty please??"

Really, the entry barrier isn't much high.

As opposed to the religious zealots that worship Sigmar?

The Daughters of Khaine were allowed to continue their worship in all respects in the Realm of Azyr, they were not purged like Chaos worshippers and Orks. Dark Elves continued to be slavers as well.

Now interested to see what they say Morathi has been and what she has been doing and how /if she communicated with the DoK in Azyr or was there herself as a guest.

Also Order is not automatically "good".

Warhammer Community covered that one

Or being a tree/plant/hybrid entity
Or living in a volcano and enjoying hitting people
Or liking flying ships and money
Or loving the freedom of oceanic adventure and enslaving others
Or whipping oneself into a frenzy and burning unbelievers

Arrows have been moved back to unsolved. First time I've had to do that, I believe.

Sylvaneth are actually really bad Order allies too, with entire subfactions (and different subsets of many other subfactions) wanting to straight up kill anything that can't photosynthesise.

So it's not unprecedented.

Lion head solved : Captain General Valoris.

Rat tail is not Blood Bowl Skaven, it's Shadespire Skaven.

The Daughters of Khaine aren't exactly worshiping in the open from what the Grand Alliance book talked about. They keep their rituals secretive and they dwell in what's called the "Shrouded Districts" in Azyrheim. Nobody knows what they do beyond be really kickass warrior women.

Scourge Privateers also aren't really slavers at this point. They're raiders still, certainly, but they're more monster hunters.

Certainly they are all bloodthirsty monsters and religious zealots. That doesn't mean they wouldn't let girls join their faction.

No, they likely will be destruction- unless we are in fact getting chaos elves.
Although the emergence of a new cult that worships an ancient god that no ones heard of could place them in order, but it would be kinda boring I think.

Well, who knows?

We don’t even know if Cthulh Elves are really a thing. After all, Hastings sadly isn’t as reliable as he used to be.

And what is meant by Cthulhu? Is it their deity, or just a general tentacle focussed aesthetic?

I like the Gorgons. Pretty neat models. Will I start a new army based upon these minis? Nope, this endeavour would probably cost me a kidney.

Are GW minis expensive or something?

Based on what exactly?

He makes a fair point as the reason Witch Elves weren't seriously considered when they went plastic is they have a $60 price tag for 10. Low armor, low points cost models that were meant to be swarmed don't fit too great at a high price tag.

If he’s talking about the alleged Cthulhu-elves (further assuming that means elves who worship something equivalent to a Deep One or worse) they would naturally fit destruction as that’s kinda where those guys live. Not Death or Chaos because they don’t care about souls, not Order because they don’t care about structure; they are mathematical chaos (rather than the emotional/mystical Chaos of Moorcock) of the sort that spins butterfly wings into tornadoes.
All predicated on the assumptions above, of course.
