Reminds me of the harpoon launcher that the Blood Slaughterers can take--just without the chaos stars on it.

I'm thinking it'll be a weapon for an Armiger chassis.

I think the clue is in the write up. "You know the drill", I think it might be the drill scenery for Necromunda that somebody mentioned about once on the artwork on the game box. Can't remember if it was this thread or the Necromunda one.

Now I'm curious how the "squig-related" guesses will look like. Even more interested in it then the actual clue itself.

Squig hoist?

Definitely terrain.

Tow Truck Squig for Ork Titan.

This seems right.

Chains make me think old- timey and hope for more Kharadron releases.

Terrain makes more sense though.

Crane, probably.

YES! Squig-crane to lift all the upcoming squig releases 2018 will bring.

So um, we have 2 hits with Van Saar release, might be added to OP as solved.

Also, disc thing was new Necromunda bit. Called it

Here's the latest reveals:

What do you reckon, Van Saar back?



The figure on the left - the image above is upside down:

Yep, and yep.

Blimey, Ninja'd!

Well that's not a Squig at all!

So, out of curiosity, anyone has any ideas on the 3 things that remained unsolved for a year now? And why GW teased them at all if they knew the reveal will be so far away...?

Can you be more specific, links to those pictures? Which ones are they?

They can be found in the original post of this thread. They are dated. The oldest was teased back in February 2017

Yeah, those. There are 3 that are 12-14 months old, far exceeding average reveal time.

I wonder if they are due to them shifting stuff around in the schedule? Maybe the Ork buggies, for example, were supposed to be released last year but was pushed forward due to.... reasons?

Lately though it feels like the reveal times have been increasingly shorter, like the Van Saar stuff for example.

On the other hand, it does offer glimpse in the workings of the company we wouldn't otherwise get, such as what is prioritized to release, what delayed, and when something is almost ready to go (as in, with painters receiving first production run to paint) vs when it's on the market. If someone made in-depth analysis it would probably offer a lot of interesting insights...

I wouldn't be surprised if we might occasionally see something that just doesn't work when they come to cut the metal tool so won't ever get released

since they (now) paint prints/resins rather than waiting for the plastic sprues to be finished like they used to do

Yeah, I remember on Twitch they interviewed some of the 'Eavy Metal painters and they sometimes paint things up to a year in advance of them being released. So I suppose they queue of upcoming stuff is always quite long, and there may be many reasons that kit A is developed well before kit B, but B is released before - scheduling of campaigns and codexes/army books etc.

Imperial Engines of some kind.


I'm hoping a further mini-Knight kit. Or indeed, a new full sized Knight Chassis. Either would be welcome in my collection.

The small top and bottom barrels look like bolter.
The big barrels have a similarity to the thunderfire barrel before assembling the quad front thing.

My guess:
Primaris artillery with 2 big barrels and 2 bolters mounted on on the top of the Repulsor chassis.

They did talk about how the Armiger Warglaive is just one variant of the Armiger chassis.

I mean, I am hoping the Knight gets a big flamer option instead of a meltagun. I'd accept this being that.

Mecha-Squig,

that's all it can be
