Yup. Almost certainly Stormcast of some description.

Maybe we will get luck y and its not a full chamber, and just a warcry warband, or even more likely a underworlds warband or character for a new starter box/edition of AoS

I’d rather it be more of a Devoted of Sigmar type release than another Stormcast chamber.

With a bit of luck it'll be a weapon somebody pinched and the actual model is something not sigmarine.

Yeah. The new Giants. One uses it as a tooth pick or something..

Doesn't necessarily have to be Stormcast. Could be anything Sigmarite related.

it looks stormcast, but who knows and we might get lucky and its just base decoration or something like that

Definitely possible. Sure, the comet screams Sigmar, but the staff on the whole is a little less ornate than pretty much every staff in the Stormcast line (unless it's just the bottom of a staff!).

Could just as easily be something from Collegiate Arcane or Devoted of Sigmar.

Oh, who am I kidding. It's probably more stormcast that will inevitably come out and be "okay" and then immediately nerfed.

I got a seraphon vibe myself.

new Deepkin?

nah, its crab people

Please be pirates of the coast.

Loading claw on a plastic Thunderhawk.

(someone had to say it!)

Crabgrots, we’ve had spider goblins, why not. Just not too good with butter

GW/SpongeBob SquarePants crossover for AoS, new mini faction

Mire lurk for fallout wasteland warfare

That is very likely Idoneth. The novel Court of the Blind King did mention crab units of sorts.

More than that, they actually have a kind of 'beast tamer' caste within the Isharaan. Would be cool to see them and their warbeasts make an appearance.

Agree. Court of the Blind King did expand upon Idoneth a lot more than the Tome did. There is just so much material in that society that could be reflected better on the tabletop.

Myths and Revenants did the initial groundwork. I desperately want one of the Deepmare variants that got mentioned in the short stories in there.

It is in fact a new entry in the long-defunct Warhammer Historical line, specifically for the Warhammer Ancient Battles system and represents the first in a new range of miniatures supporting the new expansion to the Armies of Chivalry rules Bushido, covering medieval Japan and surrounding nations. Specifically it is a tamed Giant Enemy Crab, with special flipping rules to represent its one true weakness.

Many things you were, Davy Jones, but never cruel.

From the scale of the details I'm assuming it's infantry sized rather than monster sized. I'm totally up for crabmen. Yet another army to choose from for when I get round to starting AoS...

What I hope it is but it definitely isn’t: the Claw from a set of plastic Blood Bowl and/or Necromunda mutations.

Sea Squig.

Taste like Crab, look like Squig

Crab Squigs, Crab Squigs.

Sadly this is the case for just about every army.
Clan moulder is a prime example.
Throughout time they have described them as creating uncountable numbers of different beasts that they commonly use.

In game we have: Rat ogres, giant rats, abomination, wolf rats (now gone), brood horror (again, gone) and the crossover clan fiends.
That’s literally it.
Going back a time their was an entire WD that added new much needed beasts.
As a moulder player it really does suck to have barely any options for an army that’s meant to have an endless amount.

It's my (uninformed) opinion that AOS has the scope and freedom to allow for random idiosyncratic archetypes, like..say...part of a realm that is a giant monstrous butter-pit, a hell for malevolent crustaceans who snipped at the chef one too many times. As they all attempt to climb out, the slipperiness of the butter and their comrades pulling them back means none of them ever succeed; the proverbial crab-bucket.

This will of course be installed next to another pit where chef's have their arms restrained by rubber-bands as giant lobster-people loom over them, looking for the next juicy morsel.

Moulder is, currently, a subfaction. You're no more an army than Shadowblades are for Cities of Sigmar.
