So long ago I forget these things..

While I personally dislike AOS from every angle, I wouldn't wish it gone for those who DO like it. I'm living that "dream" right now and it's not a good one.

There's nothing stopping GW from releasing some stuff that caters to both, especially since W:TOW is still in the AOS timeline.




My guess is it's either some new AOS stuff that is swappable or potentially as it looks a lot like the Mordheim Empire Duellist arm some reissues of WFB plastics that can pull double duty with AOS. I'd imagine it'd be in some sort of bundle box where the price can be jacked up without being too obvious.

Well, that's a Fell Bat for sure.

Could be a Vampire though.

But now almost certain we’ll be seeing a Vamp army for AoS now.

Would be a very small vampire, based on the brush strokes. But, admittedly, the foot is very different from the single clawed stump that the Duke's Harriers have, so I suppose it's not a sure thing.

it could still be for the underworlds warband

Terradon?

Not with hands.

looks familiar (nurgling) sized to me,

so some sort of base decoration, possibly flesh eater courts related

That makes me happy, as I wouldnt want one with the lizardman underworlds team- I'm already a little afraid we wont get a saurus warrior in it.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the upcoming team is all Skinks. Once Ossiarchs and Idoneth are out, they've covered every AoS released that's not Cities of Sigmar and arguably Savage Orcs and Gutbuster, so they're probably looking at how they can milk different teams from the same faction. Having a smaller, more elite Saurus warband would be a good fit for that.

Hadn't even considered that it might not be the unit itself, that's a strong possibility.

That's what I'd expect too. They've already divided up other factions into multiple warbands, and two Seraphon warbands definitely works well with that approach

That's either a bat or some flying reptile

It looks really odd, the more I consider it.

Normally, bat wings are a modified hand, with long, thin fingers and webbed digits.


But this seems to be an arm coming down over the top of the wing itself?

It's a leg and a tail

It talks a bit about the Lizardmen team in the Direchasm rulebook - it sounds like mostly skinks and one Saurus.

I think it most likely corresponds to the batty looking foot that's standing on the ruined terrain. Batman!

It's not fellbats, since the warhammer underworlds team already made models for them, and they both have only one claw on their feet.

But it could be for the vampire warband

Ohhhh! Now I see it! Cheers dude!

It's a swallow carrying a coconut.

If the saurus warband does only come with one saurus, that'll be a shame. Seeing an updated one will be cool, but I feel like a Kroxigor would have been a better "big guy", though may the skink priest would make that too unbalanced

That’s the whole reason I don’t think we will ever see a second seraphon warband now.
If it had been skinks with a krox, then you could have had an all Saurus band too.
But the mix, it makes me think they wouldn’t do another.. they aren’t stormcast after all..

Had the exact same! Once you see it as the hand that's somehow either at the bottom of the wing, or weirdly reaching over it, that's all you can see until the exact situation is pointed out.


Anyway, certainly another sign for upcoming vampires. Possibly a decorative creature/familiar.

It's winter. All the European swallows are in Africa now.

Yes leg. But I still wouldn’t say tail.
Then it’s a weird tail with wing membrane.
Perhaps that’s just a leg in front of a wing (with the hand part of the wing being one of the higher up notches of wing?)

The tail is abnormally long for a bat, but having wing membrane between the legs and tail is correct. You can also see the bumps of the vertebrae, which wouldn't be there if it were supposed to be one of the fingers (not that GW are strict adherents to anatomical correctness in bats, considering two of the three vargheist sculpts have fingers coming out the side of their forearms)

Yeah true. I can see that now.

Not the ones waiting for Brexit

The feet don't look anything like the fell bat from the grymwatch kit.
So I'm gonna say it's probably not that.

Those fellbat have weird feet. Its like one long talon with maybe a smaller secondary one. Hopefully, if they get a separate release, they'll look better
