Endless Spells 3: Yet More Floating Skulls

I think the new toothy boy is in fact a tyranid. Likely the long rumored plastic bio/pyrovore kit. They have big chunky teeth and small beady eyes. Also the brain holes seem very nidlike.

Isn't it a bit too large for a Biovore? Besides, if it was a Tyranid it would have one of those Tyranid chitin platings on top of it's head.

The image from 23 June 2020 is a Nurgle terminator if ever I've seen one. Those look very similar to the exhaust on the one plague marine, and the cleaner lines of the shape under them looks like the top of the old terminators, from the back. The Blightlord Termi's are unavailable right now too... new kit maybe.


Also, I'm a fan of the living axe theory for the latest image. Could be something squiggling related too, but there's not enough teeth.

It might be a new sprue added to the Blightlord Terminators, but unavailability does not point to much right now. Everything is getting reboxed at some point and if stuff has sold through it's likely to get redone then.

I think the Nurgle one is the same model as the one in the "New Edition, New Models" trailer, the one with the big Plague spewer and the weird cape made of cables.

Yea it probably would be a new character model rather than a whole new kit for the unit. I forgot about that new model preview

That Blightlord kit is also way too new for them to redo yet.
Character makes sense.

Although I have like what 12 different character models for DG, there’s a lot out there now.
A WE or EC character would have been pretty cool.

Character makes sense, but "way too new for them to redo" doesn't mean they wouldn't add a new sprue into the box.

Just throwing that out there. It's what they did with the Knight kit.

Depending on the scale, which is not clear from the photograph, it could be the back of the model wearing the weird cloak with the pipes and the power fist that we have seen hints of in other media.

Anything about that new giant faction for age of sigmar?

was a prev of it on the community site before the shutdown and since then not a single word....

There's not much to really say about the new Giants since we've seen all three new variations of the same kit. Might be we get a preview of the stats in the upcoming Preview, but beyond that there's nothing else to really show off or talk about. Lumineth still haven't had their full range release yet, which is probably why they've gone dark.

Rumour is they will be the month after Lumineth so probably October.

Its a mummyfied dinosaur for the new warhammer quest set in a seraphon temple labyrinth.

Seems to be pointing towards more FEC

That defo looks vampiric.

Definitely ded boi with live skull grenade.

Could be Necrarch?

With what looks like only 1 eye socket, that looks like a Plague bearer skull. The hand holding it though looks very vampiric/FEC.

not sure if its one eyed, the eyehole looks like its at the normal left position and the right eye is just hinden behind the smoke

That's what I was thinking.
the wrist is too thin and the hand/fingers too elongated for a regular vamp. Also doesn't match up with the ghoul kings.

My first thought was maybe a plastic Mourngal, but it doesn't look big enough judging by the skull it's holding. So yeah, I reckon either a Necrarch or somesuch.

Could be a new character class for FEC, a dedicated caster perhaps?

I'm leaning towards Nighthaunt of some kind. Would be an interesting way to bring a 'ranged 'unit' in, hucking burning skulls at folks.

That is one very thin arm - thinner than any ghoul sculpts have, and the nails look even longer than those normally have too.

Mandible is also of interest, as it looks quite elongated to me eyes. And if there’s one thing GW are versed in, its getting skulls right?

While the hand definitely looks vampiric... the first thing I noticed was that the skull and smoke/flame(?) together form the symbol of Tzeentch. New daemon model perhaps?

Ugh. Made me think of the Slavering Ghoul from Darkest Dungeon. He throws skulls and it's not bloody fun.

The apparent cyclopean nature of the skull might suggest Plaguebearer, but not visible horn. And as Mad Doc pointed out, the distended mandible is unusual.

Mad Doc Grotsnik wrote:And if there’s one thing GW are versed in, its getting skulls right?

Trainee sculptor who hasn't got the hang of them yet, maybe?

Right now there are two armies that are surprising in their absence - Shadow Aelves and Soulblight - ergo Vampires. I could see this easily being from Death and being either a new Flesh Eater model or perhaps the start of a Vampire army.

I’m not sure the design is pronounced enough to be Tzeentch’s symbol?

Could still just be standard whispy smoke?
