Sure, why not? Primaris Thundermissile Battery!

Is it the platform that has missiles and Stubbers? Boring,

Is it the missiles that are covered in Stubbers? Wicked.

Imperator Toe?!

Too small; the toes of an Imperator are big enough to hold a sermon from.

Squats?

Oh, I like this one!

If it isn't a Squig - and who's to say this one isn't?!? - it might as well be a Squat!

**Oguhmek**

Plastic Thunderhawk Gunship. It's finally here?

No, looks like terrain to me.

**Sotahullu**

Newest:

100% sure that is Death Guard.

**terry**

it might be for a replacement from one of the starter set only models

**General Kroll**

Could be night lords maybe.

Lightning claw with blood dripping from it? Possible new warp talons/raptor kit? Or an actual Night Lords character?

Please don't get my hopes up just to crush them gw.

**Marshal Loss**

Death Guard for sure, perhaps one of the "mantles" described in the codex

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

More Death Guard would be good, so I guess this is nightlords or something else

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Spiky Fist Squig.

Disappointment is nothing compared to vindication!

**Snrub**

Khorne Terminator?

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Could be Khornate. Certainly I see World Eaters getting a Codex long before Nightlords.

Could be a plastic version of the Red Butchers? Overly psychotic Berzerkers, sealed into Terminator Armour with remote overrides.

Definitely leaning Death Guard on this. Seems to be a Powerfist rather than Lightning Claw--and there looks to be a Nurgle sigil up above. It's currently a safe bet that the Death Guard and Primaris halves of Dark Imperium will be reboxed as Start Collectings, this might be something to get released alongside of them.

That's still a pretty new kit, doubt it would be up for replacement yet...

**Voss**

Death Guard power fist. Huh. Didn't expect new death guard models.

Fun thing here- the preview image on the main WarCom page actually shows more of the fist than the article image thanks to the frame intruding on the picture in the article.

**GaroRobe**

It's worth looking at the image from the community home page. Since the stupid logo on the actual image cuts off a lot of the top of the image. I suppose it doesn't matter, but the full image shows it's a hollow circle with some more cracks around it. And what looks like a similar indent beside it.

It could be the three circle Nurgle mark, but the spacing seems off

EDIT: Ninja'd by Voss

**Spreelock**

New mutilators, perhaps..?

**Kanluwen**

Good catch, Voss. There's a large pipe or something protruding from the top.

Spoiler:

if you compare to Olbiterators which are evidently related, probably not.

**Kinetochore**

Could be a mutated/enchanced chaos marine to go with War of the Spider

We’d know if anything like that was coming by now. War of the Spider is up this weekend, with just Bile alongside it. If there was anything like that in the book it would be coming with it.

**Brutus_Apex**

Possibly new possessed, New Death Guard Lord, Chosen?

**lord_blackfang**

Chaos Centurions!

**mortar_crew**

Oh yeah, more Death Guard stuff,
like they were lacking on powerfist guys or anything for that matter...

Extasy

.

**Motograter**

Khorne terminators or multipart obliterator/ mutilator kit

**Danny76**

I mean I love Death Guard, but I don’t think they need anything else compared to amies who are still waiting.

Dripping blood on World Eaters would be nice, but I don’t think it is gonna end up being that..
