Sure it feels more likely, but it's not unheard of for units to be released outside of the book.

Look at the Flesh Hounds and Karanak, for example.

but it is this close after the release of the book


That doesn't really work though. We can't say it was close to the release date, since these pics could be several months away from being revealed, if not longer. (Most likely longer due to corona)
Unless they just reveal it at the next Warhammer preview weekend. And even then, it could be for the specialist games. Which are still usable in AOS, but not the sole intention of that release


It being for specialist games is exactly what we’re saying. It could be several months from being released, but if it’s for Seraphon just for AoS, they most likely would have tied it in to the book that’s just come out (even if it’s a while from release, they’d have been working on both concurrently, and they must have known that there’d be some disappointment about the Seraphon book coming with no new models). Hence why I think it being for underworlds or Warcry is pretty much certain this close to the Seraphon battletome.

Gathering the Informations.

Hedonites of Slaanesh came out April 2019.
Blades of Khorne came out March 2019.
Wrath and Rapture came out December 2018.

That's "not too long" to you? Admittedly with Karanak and the Flesh Hounds, it was a matter of simple sculpts--same with the Fiends of Slaanesh.
But the Infernal Rapturess was a brand new unit, whose rules only existed in that boxed set in a physical format with the models or as a digital download for anyone who wanted to convert one up.

The Underworlds warband example was specifically noting that they all receive rules for AoS independent of their books.

4/5 months doesn’t seem like too long to me, no. Not like if a new Seraphon unit came out soonish and had 2/3 years until the next Seraphon book.

Underworlds and WarCry aren't considered "specialist games", just fyi. Necromunda, Aeronautica Imperialis, Blood Bowl, and Titanicus are "specialist games"--as is Warhammer: The Old World.

So the temple didn't come with the Seraphon book?

I get that people might be disappointed that there weren't new units or the like--but it very well could be relating to things coming further down the line, where there being rules included won't be seen as a big deal.

Horned Ones being ridden by Skinks as an alternate build for Saurus Knights? That would fit the bill.

I've been running the Techpriest Manipulus, Secutarii Peltasts, and Skorpius variants using their respective rules that are only available via download(Secutarii Peltasts) or from their boxed sets(Manipulus from the Killteam and Skorpius from their instruction manuals) since their releases.

I think people would get along juuuuuuuuust fine having a physical warscroll card available that they can just tuck into their book.

After the Shadow Elves preview, a dedicated Lizardpeople warband for Warcry does seem like a good shout. As long as they don't go entirely in the direction of the Blood Bowl team, I'm looking forward to some modern plastic lizards, be they Skink or Saurus (or another type of dino altogether). No weird big headed Skinks and no clothed lizards please...

Yeah, I reckon todays, along with the Ossiarch weapon, are for Underworlds season 4, both are recent books, and it makes sense to start teasing them now that all of the Beastgrave bands are revealed.

It's almost certainly an Underworlds Seraphon release.

With that sort of staff, it is likely a priest of some sort, or maybe the back banner bits of an Eternity Warden. However, the foreground bits look maybe like the back of a Salamander. With Underworlds it's hard to say--could be a mix of Saurus/Skink or whatever.

I wish it was a regular unit release. There are several Seraphon units that are in dire need of updates. Who knows!

I was referring more to the stuff still in finecast like salamanders, razordons, kroxigors, etc. The saurus warriors and knights are indeed old plastic kits that are absolutely awful to assemble and paint, but they do at least look decent when finished and won't melt in the sun.

I hope its a new warhammer quest located in a crashed seraphon temple spaceship. Would be an awesome way to expand on both Seraphon and AoS lore in an accessible and fun way.

Considering the new Catachan Colonel model was something that there was a rumour engine picture for, I was wondering, have any other limited-edition models been shown on the rumour engine before?

It has to be Flesheater courts. The hand, although grey, has the same greenish feel as the FEC. The claws look like they'd be on a crypt ghoul. And the sword is old and weathered.

Although the Underworld warband was kind of a let down personally, I wouldn't mind getting a warcry team featuring updated crypt ghouls

Clearly Flesheater to follow up the clearly Ossiarch, clearly Lizardman and probably Idoneth.

Last time, someone guessed new Warhammer Quest, I'm jumping on that bandwagon. Makes the most sense with so many factions in the mix, most of which with brand new Tomes that shouldn't expect AoS updates for years.

The leader has similar nails, you can see them on the hand holding the halberd.

Looks like a ghouly to me. Could be a vampire maybe but looks more bestial.

I feel a strong urge to send a care package.

I think the previous pic is a skink priest with a feathery headdress, but I'm hoping it's something to do with new saurus cav.

I'm sooo, sooo sorry.

There was a post on GW’s Facebook about something coming for FEC. I’d say this is that, for sure. Two hints in different places.

My prediction:

Soulblight and FEC are being combined into a single tome. It would make all the Soulblight kits useful and establish the Vampire/Ghoul faction better. FEC kits also have a few dual/multi-kits - like Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon and Vargheists - that would make sense to be in a single book.

Could you post what it was? I'd be interested to see it.

Personally, I'm leaning towards a WarCry setup like those Shadowstalkers we just had come up out of nowhere for Daughters of Khaine. They're gearing up for Realm-based warbands it looks like so this might be Shyish's.
