It's a cool piece of artwork, but i can't help but think whoever did this has been playing Bloodborne recently

**Dysartes**

Can't be - GW stated in court that none of their staff take anything from external influences, while claiming ownership of Roman numerals...

Link to the article:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/04/13/the-labyrinth-calls-the-maze-morphs-around-you-a-presence-is-felt/

Not sure how representative of anything the creature in the middle of the picture is, but given the text in the article...

“If the ancient legends are true, then deep beneath the ocean bed can be found the resting place of Harrowdeep’s creators – shadow daemons from the liar’s moon of the Orb Duplicita, sworn enemies of the physical world.”

... might this be one of the shadow daemons that was basically the only info we had on elves and/or inhabitants of Ulgu back in the beginning of AoS?

**Sabotage!**

The fellow in the bottom of the picture appears to have a Witch Hunter hat and what appears to be two warhound.

Maybe this season could be Witch Hunters Vs. Eshin Skaven and they can call it: Mordheim: City of the Damned....

Shadow daemons = new generic/unaligned daemons?

They've been in the lore for ages, or at least Shadow beasts/creatures have. I'm surprised they've not appeared in the Daughter's of Khaine so far as they were the first creatures Morathi interacted with when she escaped Slaanesh's belly and found herself wandering the Shadow Realm.

Darkest Dungeon. But they don't really have the same way with prose.

**aku-chan**

So a warband of giant skeletons with tentacle heads?

What a waste of an article. GW are on high troll mode with that "reveal" they promised today.

Serves me right for checking. Shame on me, not GW.

They didn’t promise a reveal today. They said ‘join us tomorrow as we delve deeper into the darkness.’ It was pretty obviously going to be just the second part of a long drawn out tease.

Gosh, it really IS obvious. Youre so right. Im so wrong.

Im not sure how i could be so stupid. Thanks. You really saved the day.

Welcome!

I’m not defending the preview, btw. It’s very annoying.

**Kid_Kyoto**

I think there's a bug or something

The mercurial passageways of this new maze convulse and shift as if moved by an unseen hand. Shadowy entities stalk these halls, gnawing on the fear of those that walk beside you.

What is their intent, and what part do you play in their plans?

How do you fit into these writhing schemes? More will be revealed tomorrow.

Can anyone get the rest of the page to load?

**Kanluwen**

“Only those who do not succumb to despair can hope to endure. Such intrepid souls must keep the fires of their resolve blazing, banishing all notion of surrendering to the malicious sentience of Nethermaze.”

Are the walls of these corridors hewn, or are they the fused remains of those who failed to reach the heart of this crucible of shadows?

Whispers swell in your ears. Push further to reach the Waking Gate and escape this living nightmare.

One last step. The Warhammer Community site will reveal all tomorrow.

Meh.

This would have been far, far, far more interesting as a two day tease or something with an animation involved.

**chaos0xomega**

Awww look at the cute little white baby rattos hatching from their eggs...

...wait a minute...

**lord_blackfang**

The circle of life!

Soylent Green is Skaven!

**Chopstick**

I hope that's a band of big beefy rats.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Am the only one wondering what the point of this is?

I’m not knocking the game. But this is the first time we’ve had pomp and circumstance for Underworlds part way through a season. It feels….a bit unjustified if it’s just gonna be a warband reveal, even if they’re proper esoteric.

**Sabotage!**

I think it’s going to be the new starter set reveal, as we know that’s what’s coming next. Does feel a bit dramatic to have a week long tease about it.

I've been assuming its a leadup to another Red Harvest type box.

**GaroRobe**

I'm sure Underworld Eshin will be awesome, but I wish we had a plaguemonk warband release.

Weren't they a subfaction of skaven at some point? I think Clan Pestilens had a battletome at some point

**chaos0xomega**

Maybe its Eshin "shadow daemon" Skaven (hey, they are supposedly children of chaos, why not make them daemons?) v Umbraneth aelves? Kinda been dropping hints in both directions, and with it being Good Friday/Easter Weekend they can probably hype it as a "resurrection" or "rebirth" type thing, fitting with the holiday.

I’m quite likely wrong, but I thought there were more seasonal warbands to come?

**Danny76**

No seasons are half the size now

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Box of two.
Two individual war bands. Repeat.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Fair.

**Danny76**

I like the Eshin. Well actually both

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Eshin full inspire on killing the enemy leader is cool.
Will be interesting to see what these keywords Map and Domain do.

Nice to have two warbands that looks wise are A’s/B’s. For me anyway.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

The Eshin are excellent, not completely sold on the Elves as one of them is really plain.

**jaredb**

Absolutely stunning models, especially the Skaven.

**Tim the Biovore**

Absolutely love the rats, gotta be one of the best warbands they've made, which is unfortunate for the elves because they're still very nice but just can't measure up

**chaos0xomega**

I am underwhelmed

**porkuslime**

I dont see an article for the Skaven.. is that cause USA based? I wannaaaa see dem!
