Is defo a rippyfist of some kind.

Not sure it’s Orkney though? Looks off.

if.its not ork, it must be catachan.

Yeah this is not an ork. It looks more like a Necromunda Servo Claw similar in style what was previewed for the Escher but not released yet. My first thought was Cawdor but I don't know. The hand though does definitively not look like an Ork hand and there are no claws/nails. And I think the color of the paintjob is to pale for ork flesh.




I don't know how to make the image work.

I don't think the proportions work for the weedy necromunda humans

Looks more like a climbing aid than a weapon?

Maybe dwarf? Thinking the proportion of the hand and the engineered quality of it. [me? clutching at straws...? Never..!]

Thinking something for Warcry/killteam.

Looks like Orks on the menu boys. I'd assume this is a continued sneak peek of the Ork character teased in the video that revealed the upcoming sisters, admech, and drukhari (Lelith) characters.

OR, complete different direction... Necromunda? BloodBowl?

I'm inclined to go with ork. But it can't be the guy we saw in the trailer, since we saw both a gun and a melee weapon in his hands (unless the kit actually has multiple options.) I'm going to say Ork Kommandos. It's an old kit that needs an update.

Blades look too uniform to be Orkish imo.

New Orks are more refine. Look deffkilla Wartrike warboss weapon

Good point. They’re no ‘cleaner’ than these

Landing claw on a plastic Thunder Hawk.

Maybe Snikrot decided to convert his knives into claws?

I agree it's not an ork, neither does it look human sized. I would have said Ogryn for necromunda, but that box came out a couple weeks ago. Maybe some sort of plastic Goliath berserker? Or a Chaos Ogryn box?

Those painted scratches look relatively small on the claw and it's a complex piece (at a minimum the hand and claws are different parts, but it looks more like each claw is also separate, with the mould split running along the edges) so I think it is something pretty large. If it's an ork, probably warboss sized. If it isn't an ork, then an ogryn seems most likely. It's also just about possible that it's an Age of Sigmar or Bloodbowl thing, which opens up a bunch more options.

We know that there is likely another ork model coming, since there was a previous rumour engine image of an ork style boot (24th December 2019) which doesn't seem to match the ork we saw in the video. I suspect that there will be a bunch of ork characters coming in plastic soon-ish. I'm crossing my fingers that the new claw is for Wazzdakka Gutzmek.

Interestingly, they don’t seem to be bladed anywhere?

Interior of the 'hook', leading to the serrated bits.

It's definitely bladed, but it's a weird bladed design that almost looks spider mandible-ish in concept. Whatever the design, it makes me think Van Saar first , Spyrer Rig second, and Armageddon Ork Hunter third.

I think it could be the Van-Saar "Arachni-Rig" Servo-suit. It fits the desription well, it has the right size and it got a Servo-Arm.

Still not seeing the blade myself.

Look at the tip and then the interior of the weapon where the serration is. It looks to be a piercing/ripping weapon rather than slashing.

It'll end up being something totally out of left field like Blood Bowl

Maybe. There's a bit of chipping on whatever the wrist mount is for this thing that makes me think Necromunda though.

Wondering if the disc shape near the wrist indicates a pivot point, like the prongs normally lie flush with the forearm?

Maybe. That's why I mentioned it reminds me of a spider's mandibles as they 'snap' forward to grip prey.

I'm calling chaos ogryn for a renegade IG codex.

Hand's too small for an Ogryn, unless the perspective is super weird...but I definitely do think we're going to see renegade IG.

I bet its the Spyre (Spryre?) for necromumnda.

True.....could be a Malcadon I suppose? May be a good ‘Noble House match’ for Van Saar?

We haven't had any suggestion of them just yet.

We do, however, know about this:

Arachni-rigs are massive advanced combat Servo-rigs, that are created by Necronmunda's House Van Saar, which makes heavy use of them due to the physical deficiencies that commonly afflict the House's members. Each rig is an artisan piece, that puts to shame the simple utilitarian forms of mass produced Servo-rigs and are controlled by the wearer's nervous system or via a direct MIU. They are armed with a twin-linked heavy lascarbine and four servo-arms, which give the Arachni-rigs' wearer a spider-like appearance and each one can be replaced with various weapons. Though it is an advanced piece of machinery, it is not uncommon for Van Saar's gangs to wear a Arachni-rig, in their battles within the Underhive.

It's been a thing since "Gangs of the Underhive" as Hangers-On and Brutes. I would have expected it to be a FW piece, but I think GW might be planning a series of 'big' releases for Necromunda in plastic ala the Slave Ogryn and Ambots.

Not saying "NO SPYRERS!"...I just think if they're coming, they won't release them one at a time or as Noble Houses tied to one of the gangs. It'll be a full gang of Spyrers that will make the Enforcers or Ogryns look downright hordey by comparison.

Doesn’t strike me as particularly Van Saar in aesthetic?

I’m probably wrong though. Usually am on rumour engines.

I agree. Doesn’t feel Van Saar at all.

Their servo claws look like this (3rd up, 2nd from right)
