It's got to be the new "warboss" on "squig-wolf-pig" from the Dominion box. The branded leg was yesterdays rumour-engine pic.

That's my feeling as well. The skin and round features of the mount point to something new and unique. I'm guessing it has a spear or staff + that shield with the tusks on it. Maybe some kind of mounted witch doctor character? The wait for this reveal is fricking killing me. I've been bored to death all day long. Automatically Appended Next Post:

For sure. I've done it too, being wrong about things. I think it's easy to dismiss because it's right up front with the rest of the old models for orks, but if you look at it on zoom it clearly looks like something new!

My eyes keep playing tricks on me as I keep being convinced I can make out a one eyes fanged snout of a Fimir on the back of what ever it is, which would be amazing - but I'm well prepared and expecting it to be a weird trick and my own forlorn hope fueling that interpretation.

I have to admit that each piece of Visions of Beasts rumour engine has made me less excited about Dominion. Putting Emperor's finest against some Goblin and monsters from a swamp doesn't sound very epic. The only redeeming feature I can think of is that Destruction armies are potentially fun to paint with Contrast paints.
There is good chance that I am going to be positively surprised today because my expectations are really low.

I miss the days when Warhammer reveals were at 9 am and not 1 pm. :/
Also, I hope that Turnskin beastman story is a hint of new beastmen. Morghur was teased a lot, but I'm hoping the other "named" people in it are future characters and not just random beastmen in a random story. Ghosteater sounds pretty cool, just based on his name.

Synessa is only 9 wounds,

Definitely not even greater deamon league.
Some nice abilities, but still, profile wise color me
disappointed.
Yeah, their profiles are not so great. But why is Synessa "the Slaanesh Sorceress" limited to 1 cast and 1 denial a turn. Dexcessa is supposed to be choppy character but is limited to red -2 and damage 2. Heres hopping that they're pointed appropriately. I still can't help but feel disappointed given how much GW hyped them.
Same here.
The Epitome is better at casting/dispelling than Slaanesh's progeny...
Well, Dexcessa is 280 pts , and Synessa is 260 pts. So profile, scale, and points wise they're basically buffed Daemon Princes rather than Greater Daemons.

The twins are interesting because lore wise they sound like they should be supremely powerful, yet in points and stats we are seeing them more as cheaper toolbox options rather than powerhouses. Which is a neat direction because it suggests that their power within Slaanesh is more political than it is just raw power.
I think it also makes them neat to add into the army as a concept; making them cheap to slip into armies rather than super expensive and having to mandate the whole army being built around them.
A lot of our larger models which are named characters are big, expensive models that require you to build your army around them every time. Nagash (as an extreme) is near 1K points; which means he doesn't field well in smaller games and has to be built around even at 2K games.

Tempted to grab Drycha's kit just because I like named characters, and this time around GW is limiting pre-orders to one per order to every new release this week.
I'd be nice to see this behaviour again.

Grabbed the dead frog on pre order today.
Rest isn't of much interest to me.
Kroaknado is definitely gone and he will need guard near by.
Can always sit him in the engine though and run a trog up field like a cruise missile.
Really have got a bad feeling that the new army is going to basically be swamp orcs.
Could have dropped fimir as they are insanely different to what we have, but I think they are trying to remove all trace of them.

Just remember that in previews commenting is basically nuts - several thousand people trying to get a comment in at once even with the forced slowdown twitch does makes it somewhat of a mad situation
Also note if you don't have any twitch stuff you watch, but you do have Amazon Prime then you can sub through Amazon prime once a month for free
