She was but a butt of my joke... Ok I will stop now. I feel very ashamed of myself.

It's a tentacle coiled around the grip of a sceptre or mace, with strings of pearls hanging off it. So either something Slaaneshi, or something Idoneth Deepkin-y. Are the Idoneth getting an Underworlds warband? If so, I'd guess it's from that.

Could be an Idoneth Endless Spell.

Not sure if it’s a tentacle, could be a snake on a stick.....tomb kings are coming back .

It has metal style highlights, so I'm.doubtful it's either a snake.or a tentacle.

Its also a really weird and unnatrual noose shape if its a living tentacle. To me it looks more like something sculpted/ornamental made to look like a snake or tentacle -the hook shape holding the pearly string looks more functional than random organic tantacle.
In general I get the feel of a cross shaped banner pole, this beeing one of the side arms. Also imagine it to be likely Idonet despite them not having those kind of jewels.
Ofcourse, I have been wrong many times before.

It looks like the end of a magical staff. The gemstone set in a metal binding, the curved lower prong and then likely a mirrored upper one - with the point bent like that its more decorative than weapon functional and thus suggests magical rather than physical.

Then there's a bead like adornment, suggesting perhaps either a more natural/wild character or on the other side of the coin, a very rich/ostentatious character.

I know they got a release about a year and a half ago, if not sooner, but the design looks heavily DoK to me. The flared oblique attachement of the metal part to the shaft is really similar to the Melusai glaives, and so is the gem shape.

Additionally, at least one Khinerai wears one necklace made with beads similar in pattern to those in the pic.

Plus the serpentine decoration wrapping the gem is somewhat related to the tails of both Melusai and Khinerai.

Not saying it is Daughters of Khaine, but... perhaps.

Natural/wild you say?

Funnily enough snake is new TS symbol, and the square gem looks like wolfyiffwolf one, making even better case for it, but it's probably just a random coincidence.

today's teaser:

looks ogrish to me.

agreed, looks very ogorish

Could be the rumoured DoK Shadespire band (which would be my guess).

I'm thinking (and hoping) its a weapon for one of the spire tyrants.

Not rumored. There's card art of the Daughters, it means they're in.

Warhammer Underworlds(Shadespire was a 'set' title, not the actual name) has not shown anything on cards that didn't end up in the game for that season/set.

Same weapon?

fancy twohanded maul?

Or at least both part of the same faction. Does seem to fit ogres, so perhaps they’re getting some new models along with that swish leader dude.

I know this is unlikely, but the mace head reminds me of the clubs used by the Fimir Warrior models from forgeworld. Alot of ogre weapons aren't that well made/more crude looking, but it's way to beat up to be anything that isn't a destruction aligned army.

The Fimir are the only ones I can think of that use some what well built weapons that are beat up and old, and are destruction aligned. But as a forgeworld AoS faction, it's rare for GW to turn FW stuff into plastic now a days. So it also feels like quite the long shot to be what that bit is for.

Aye, it's somehow brutish chaos, in essence.

I'm going to go with warcry

I so, so, SO hope it's plastic Fimir!

Looks like a Brute smasha

New Varanguard weapon?

I concur with the Fimir hypothesis. It’s clearly far too well made for Ogres and too finely made for Orcs, just plain too big for Gobbos, and while it has hints it clearly isn’t any of the established Chaos factions, including the Warcry ones. The closest you get there would be the Cypher Lords.
It also seems out of style for any known Order army and while it could be Death, it’s lacking in obvious bone-features.
Add in the similarity to existing Fimir weapons and boom, Fimir.

I was just about to suggest that. The spikes, wholepiece metal, and worn/used surface looks alot like varanguard. Perhaps Varanguard infantry (Chaos Warriors?)

If it is Fimir (which I really hope it is), it might be for either Beastgrave / Shadespire or Warcry rather than a whole new army. Maybe even just a tiny expansion like the Ambull was for Blackstone Fortress.

Whatever it is, it isn't for Underworlds. We have seen zero cards with a Fimir on the art.

WarCry is a possibility, but so is 40k...given that we're going to be seeing Sororitas this year with the Army Pack, this might be something for a new Preacher.

They have mentioned in the past about working on a next.thing for fantasy warhammer quest, and ambulls(40k) and zoats(bloodbowl) would.be complemented perfectly by a Fimir.

I would actually.cave.and pay the absurd Blackstone fortress.xpack price if.it meant getting a Fimir.

There are still 2 warbands to come for Warcry, so it could be for one of them (one of them seem to be like ‘generic’ chaos warriors, varanguard kind of thing, that I could see this being for).

I don’t know where this impression that Spire Tyrants will be like generic chaos warriors is coming from. Nothing about their blurb in the book indicates that, and the accompanying silhouette shows a guys with an axe and horned helm, But no Baroque heavy armor. The blurb states they are pit fighters, so more gladiators than traditional chaos warriors.
