new bow cavalry?

It looks so for sure.
Very interesting, it could be a dual kit
like the hellstriders with two weapon options.
Fingers crossed on this one.

Honestly looks like they're on a mount.

Here is the other page.

So, even without all the Slaangor stuff, it looks like there is at least 2 more humanoid Mortal models. The top one in this image, and the top one in the other.


It also looks like GW asked reviewers to skip over this for now, which is kind of funny.

The top one looks to be the symbaresh with the whip to me.
There are others entries separated only with weaponry so it could be possible,
but I for sure hope for more kits.

Most likely for the Twin Souls they have separate cards for different weapons.

At the very least we can also make out Blissbringer, and the two variants of Hellstriders

Yeah, upon further inspection it does look like the one with the whip.

'Eavy Metal seems to struggle with exaggerating feminine features via paint jobs. Never 5get Sister Stubble.

I do wonder if the model is male and the artwork is female? The chest seems very flat on the model, which could just be the angle of the shot, but usually the bust is exaggerated if the face can't clearly be shown. I doubt it's just typical Slaaneshi ambiguity when comparing it to the art.

It could be, though. Debating the gender on an ambiguous Slaanesh model is somewhat pointless given these are people who can very much be both, neither, or just whatever they feel like that day.

Has the cavalry rune, so we know for sure it is.

Probably would have helped if I had read the person above me describing it as a calvary

Dang.....this Slaanesh release is going to be big.

So confirmed we have:
Slaangor kit
Dual Elite Infantry Kit (Twinsouls/Painbringers)
New Calvary kit (possibly a dual kit)
New Sigvald
New Hero

Very likely there will also be:
New mortal "Battleline" infantry

Somewhat Likely to be included:
At least one more hero
A centerpiece/large kit

This is really shaping up to be a huge release. I'm really looking forward to it.

Don't forget they already have a large kit in the Keeper of Secrets and a terrain feature. This is all bolting into the existing Hedonites army after all.

New hellstriders too wishful thinking?

I assure you, sir or madam, that there will be no Calvary in this release.

There may or may not be cavalry in this release, but no Calvary.

Maybe not in a Slaanesh AoS release, but I'd think that SoB Penitent Engines might actually count as both Cavalry *and* Calvary? (SCNR)

I don't think that the existence of a daemonic centerpiece is going to stop GW from releasing a mortal centerpiece as well. I've never seen GW shy away from adding big, impressive models to an army just because it already had some.

 NinthMusketeer wrote:

I'd think so, yes. As Overread points out, it's going to be an expansion of Hedonites and not a standalone mortal Slaaneshi faction. If GW is content to keep the Seekers (and other daemons) from a decade ago around, there's no real reason to replace the mortal version. In the Hedonites army there will be a difference in sculpting/casting quality one way or another.

They were in the Shadow & Pain boxset, so I'd not get your hopes up. Might see a different (ranged) variant of them though.

they could have been put in shadow & pain to clear stock, seeing how s&p is a limited box and not a regulair item, but I don't think we'll see new hellstriders anytime soon.

Not this again. Where does this “repack” myth come from?
Seriously, when GW have an overstock, they just stop making the item until it sells through. Not that such a thing is particularly likely since I’m pretty sure their fulfilment is month on month unlike, say, a clothing store that may hold stock for a whole season. Or, say, Hasbro, which has to make enough tickle-me-Elmos to last the Xmas season starting in February.

People forget that GW products can last on the shelf over a decade, they basically get replaced when GW wants them too.

GW doesn't need to pay staff to unbox and rebox products, they just stop producing and hold them until the stock sells out. If its really bad they might do a marketing push on them and such.


About the only kits that do get recalled at the Christmas Battleforces and that's only once it gets around to next Christmas.


Plus even if GW does repack now and then, now is not the time they'd have too. Don't forget we stripped the shelves of everything at the start of the year. GW's supplies were run dry, so right now I'd wager they are holding very little in stock and what they are is likely being shipped overseas. They just don't have the manpower on hand in the factory and packing stations now to even keep up with current demands let alone hive off a load to unbox and rebox things.

There is almost for sure a huge Slaangor/beast centerpiece kit from the video.

I can only hope all of that comes to pass- it'll be the best range refresh basically ever.

Nice catch, guess I can't be too thankful for auto-correct for fun stuff like this.

Whoops, my bad

Who wants to take bets about when GW will release a full article? Today? Tuesday? Wednesday? Thursday?

I wish. They probably won't show things off until Christmas or the week afterwards. At least that would be my guess.

The Warcry Agents of Chaos book will be out on Saturday I expect the relevant pages to be leaked sooner than that so it's only a matter of time before they have to do the full reveal. The only thing stopping leaks now is that GW asked reviewers not to show the pages and they don't want to lose their early access (or be seen to be the source of the leak)

I wager we'll see it tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. By that point regular stockists will have the books and the ability to leak without come back (because so many will have it) is too great.

GW will want to be first out of the gate so doing it earlier in the week is best.


As said the only reason we don't know more right now is because the early reviewers have been asked to not show and they don't want to lose their early access privileges.

TBF, they could be calvary cavalry, created when a mortal suffers calvary: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/calvary#:~:text=1%20%3A%20an%20open-air%20representation,Calvary
