We have a female boot in the shape/form of a scion and a fella (assumingly) with some paperwork bearing what looks like an inquisitor seal.

Me thinks inquisitor retinues might be on the way back in plastic?

I’d agree on the book seeming to have the =][= symbol.

I smell characters for the next board game.

Another fair shout. If it is Inquisition, I could go for a boxed game pre-codex release.

I don’t see bars - could be the skull-][ of the Ecclesiarchy.

We have a bionic leg that's armored and trimmed with a Mechanicus/Scion flair and a book with what is either the Ecclesiarchy or Inquisitorial seal...and no suggestions or implications that these things are tied together.


It 'feels' closer to that iconography than the Inquisition though.

If the two pics are related AND if they both point to Inquisitors, I really hope the boot belongs to some new retinue character, not another inquisitor. We've got two good female inquisitors in plastic, and unless GW wants to have one for each of the three Ordos, I don't think we need another one.

Could be many of the Adeptus symbols, 'cept the Arbites, you probably would be able to see the scales.

Someone pointed out that the armor sort of matches the dead body on Szera's base. Similar curves, etc. So maybe Ecclesiarchy

That’s a possibility.

On the leg? Apologies if this has been mentioned already, but it strikes me as not being production armour, rather something a bit more special, like a custom job?

Wasn’t there rumour / speculation a while back of a new Kill Team box, like rogue trader but Inquisition?

That bionic leg doesn't seem very much like Adeptus Mechancius stuff to me. The overall look of the armoured part with the edge trim and slight bit of ornamentation does however remind me of the chest and shoulder armour on Tempestus Scions.

As for the one holding a book, perhaps some sort of Valhallan Ice Warrior? The sleeve on the coat makes it seem like some sort of greatcoat and it looks like they may have a sash on too? No idea how the book and scroll would fit that though.

There was wishlisting of one, yes.

About damn time, a normal human coming to AOS or 40K! Also to the guy saying Valhallans, please dude, don't give me hope like that ;_;

It's been pointed out that Sisters have had a large release and rightly don't need new stuff at this time, consider that we're still missing Death Cult Assassins and any variety of priest (modern plastics thereof, anyway). We know we're getting a Palatine so I think it's possible that a new codex with a small model release is possible to fill the remaining gaps.

Considering how GW went about reimagining Repentia, I could see the armored leg belonging to a new version of Death Cult Assassin. Robed dude with literature would obviously fit the way Ecclesiarchy priests got represented in the past.

I want this to be Inquisition, personally, but with the way GW has handled Inquisition in the recent past I can't help but stick with a believe it when I see it approach when it comes to them.

Inquisition retinue or Ecclesiarchy would both be great to see. Ideally not restricted to a new Warhammer Quest, though if the models were good enough, even that might be acceptable...

Odd looking beasty - that rear most fang on the left almost looks like its more of a metal ring in texture and style. Some huge wyrm raising its head whilst shackled or perhaps its not alive and its a stonework with a huge handle underneath?

another inquisitorial pet?

I'll take TEN!

Maybe a bit biased here, but my first thought on seeing today's rumour was "plastic Khymerae"...

that would mean they have reduced the number of eyes

This is a good spot! The rear 'fang' seems to be part of a lead/bit.

I'm going with some kind of warbeasty for AoS.

Hm, the front "fangs" look like barbels to me...

Front fangs also look more like stylized statue fangs than real fangs. I'm gonna say... it's a Space Marine backpack arm thingy. Salamanders?

Yeah, I'm seeing barbels at the front and a metal ring in the rear, too! Doesn't mean it has to be shackled, tho, might be a pet 'holding' something, like a lantern or whatever? Like Lotann's familiar holds his weapons and scrolls.

Honestly, the eyes make me think of this rumor engine

It does look like something metal is in its mouth, but if its a ring, it doesn't loop back to the other side. Maybe it's a new pack lizard that skinks used, similar to a salamander. I could see GW taking seraphon into a less-traditinoal lizard looking army.

It's got two sets of eyes, which makes me think it's more an alien 40k thing, than an AOS thing. Maybe it's Exodites.

That was what made me think of it being a statue decoration; however they could also be "skull fangs". Ergo either an exposed bony skull that has fangs. over the top of the lip and face, like mask.

We can’t say it doesn’t loop back round based on the rumour engine.
They’ve often cropped them in odd or interesting places
