Call me silly, but it reminds me of the Weirdnob's staff more than, say, the one Devastator firing a rocket.

I'm thinking you are on the right track with regards to the fantasy side of things.

We already know that we're getting a model for the Purple Sun of Xereus spell soon-ish. Maybe this is part of a Pit of Shades?
It could be that these are going to be part of the upcoming "next arc" for AoS. It keeps getting rumored that we're getting a new starter set that will be in the Realm of Death, which would make the Purple Sun of Xereus kind of a cool "Realm-exclusive" spell for when we're fighting there? Pit of Shades would make a good one for Realm of Shadow.

Well, the faint rings look like it's a 3D printed master so not something plastic. So, something from Forgeworld, maybe even Necromunda? Promethium guilder? A new hired gun? Redemptionist brazier? Perhaps Blood Bowl - new star player? Nurgles rotters?

Possibly, but the eavy metal often paint resin masters of minis that will be plastic in order to get box art done in time.

my first thought was some kind of coral/sponge belching out spores or something...to go with the deepkin...but I dunno, I'd think we'd have seen pretty much everything to do with them already right?

Yes. We have seen everything for the Idoneth, unless they held something back for the next 'setting'.

sadly, doesn't look like a squig this week

Looks like a Space Marine. Wasn't there a Lion Johnson? Maybe that's him?!

Jep, that's an imperial guard commander. Nothing else! Or maybe a sister of battle that is hungry. Give that gal a snickers she isn't herself when she is hungry.

don't be silly, this is clearly a stormcast wizard on foot

I bet it’s Leman Russ.

that's what I thought as well, probably the palm of his left hand

In all seriousness, I believe this to be an early glimpse at Orks. Perhaps this is the new Ghaz model or maybe a Squig. How fun would it be to have Bomb Squigs again?

Ork Squigs?

Giant plastic squiggoths! A full range of 100+ ork models for all different factions. Largest model range ever brought out by GW. The codex is perfect! They go back to the old lore while keeping a grim dark tone and making orks look both fun and scary. Orksmplay amazing! There are so many different builds and every model is viable. I die happy. Oh... wiat.. I think i woke up... why are my sheets so wet?

Really looking like Green Skin, indeed.

Then, could be Moonclan Grot squid for AOS, or a Squig for Gorkamorka ?

(maaaybe an undead monster ?)

Exodite Dragon...

Orc but, I'm sure it's some Blood Bowl thing and not Orkz.

I don't want to just dump on people wanting Orks(I want some love for the Greenskins too!) but I'm thinking it will be something related to this:



The Purple Sun of Xereus from the Lore of Death seems to be making a comeback, who knows what else we'll get when this drops? We had quite a few spells that could 'create' things like that and to me it's interesting that Battlemages retained the "specializations" but nobody else really has.

Could be a Nurgle catcher, as it matches the early design image. It might be Guffle Pusmaw.

I think squig / grot / ork is a good guess too.
I've read rumours about moonclan grots getting some releases for AOS, and then there's the rumours about Orks in winter.

Looks like a grot mouth to me, but the detail on the paint makes it seem bigger than a grot. Maybe it's a giant grot?

A PRIMEGROT????

Sumpcroc from Necromunda?

Too short a mouth, sadly.

I'm hoping for a beefy Ork release. GW always get so creative with their Ork minis.

that would be realy cool

Pistol solved.

Wow those teases, that's been 15 months

I wonder if the mouth just up the page might be from that big nurgle dude with all the mouths in his stomach? the in the angled screenshot with him on the board it looks possible

ohh yeah! that one from 8th of feb, last year! finally!

Going by the admech symbol on his chest...titan crew, maybe?
I don't think he's imperial guard.
Then again, he does look a bit byzantine, so maybe they are doubling down on the Roman Empire schism theme by introducing a bunch of not-varangians.


...OR, he could be part of the upcoming Rogue Trader skirmish game

That pistol was fully painted a year ago. What took them so long?

oof...who knows...maybe they had some issues/delays with the cardboard tiles, or the scenery bits or something? maybe they decided to push something else out earlier instead?...maybe they hadn't actually done any rules for this game yet? ...could be bloody anything

Anyway I'm glad the confusion with Kharadron is over
