We have definitely reached the era of diorama characters.

As for this one, I quite like him overall. The only real criticism is the tongue coming out of his mouth because it doesn't look like it's coming out of his mouth. It looks like someone sculpted a tongue next to his mouth.

The new Slaaneshi Lord is pretty awesome and some nice individual models usable elsewhere



Look forward to seeing what else arrives - still cross fingers for Soulblight lady for Underworlds/ general use

Don't forget we've still got the similar video from last year for 40K that wasn't fully released and other stuff too - so ontop of this there's a boatload of things coming over the next few months.

The new leader for Slaanesh looks awesome and I love the crab ogors at the front and how the pincers are really getting thick. Interesting to see the snake design up the back, really would love to see some sepentine beasts return to Slaanesh!


I hope the new titan is an AT one and that looks like a lumineth pair for certain and a big fantasy mount too by the design of the riders leg.

Hedonites, Drukhari vs sisters box (plus drukhari codex), Dark Angels and the 6-7 marine kit still needing to be released. Throw in some of this new stuff in second quarter (Knights/AT, admech character, lumineth, and what ever else was in there) and we're already halfway done, especially if Covid continues to disrupt. 9th 40K is really turning into a gap year as we won't see much play for at least 3 months, at a minimum.

Except gw doesn't tease that far away...they show models, it's 3 months at most.

Corona might delay a bit but 6 months? They wouldn't show them yet if they expect to get them out th@t far.

The chariot's certainly something else. I'm guessing those are Chaos Ogors pulling it, and its always nice to see non-human chaos followers. Not big on many of the retainers, although peacock lady could be a good GSC magos. The fully armored dude is really cool though, and just like the Samurai Skeleton that came with the Bonereaper Diorama Dude, a bit cooler than the main model himself.

Hedonites certainly are a cool faction. Khorne and kinda Tzeentch had big releases, but I don't think any of their models can really compete with the Hedonite range. Ironically (given how many models dedicated to him he's gotten over the last 2-4 years) now Nurgle needs some love to expand his own mortals.

The "New Edition, New Models" video is 6 months old already and we still haven't seen anything from it revealed

Lol, I love when you can clearly see, as in the shield in that preview, obvious ridge lines from a 3D printed model.

GW: 3d printing is evil and isn't pert of the "hobby"
Also GW: please don't look too closely at our studio painted display models

Looks like we are getting Vampirates..

I'm really not sure how to feel about this as I wanted an expanded 'Blood Dragons' range..

Not a huge reveal, but a nice tease nonetheless. Plus, it actually solved some Christmas rumor engines.

*Weird animal holding something: the snake on the back of the palaquin
*Bland hammer: confirmed witchhunter. Maybe they'll have a more copyrightable name. I guess wighthunter is free. (What's the dude from the AOS series called? Is he just a witchhunter?)
*Marble statue


Edit: I hope they give a shoutout to the eavy metal painter that made a slaanesh symbol in the marble texture. That's subtle and genius

We literally saw the Palatine revealed at the end of the video from "New Edition, New Models".
We saw the Death Guard character a few previews later.
Christmas Day saw the reveal of Lelith Hesperax.

The only ones not revealed in full are the Skitarii and Ork.

I think for a really quick moment you can see the witch hunter is also wearing the boots from the rumour engine.

Looks more like a Draugr than a Vampire of any kind. There's some zombie-styled stuff in the Advent Rumor Engine stuff.

No filligree work on them that I could spot. They look like flat steel greaves over top of leather boots.


The hammer does seem to make an appearance though.

Glutos, Lord of Gluttony.

GW's writing, everybody

New Titans.

Mic drop.

Yeah, Draugr was also one of my first associations, especially with the kinda dark-agey shield decoration. Is there any fluff related to wights or any kind of 'ancient' undead in AOS currently?

Legions of Nagash is the book where they would likely make an appearance, especially if the idea is to add a 'zombie hero' option like Skeletons have in the form of the Wight King.

It's clearly undead, though I admit, I thought it was a bearded orc at first

Have they teased any zombie faction in the lore? Morathi's shattered realm book dropped pretty heavy vampire hints (Plus we (most likely) havethe underworld warband with vampires coming.)

Deadwalkers in Legions of Nagash are a zombie faction. I don't have the book so cannot comment more.

Interesting thought:
It might be a Mortarch? Would be an interesting development to add a Deadwalkers Mortarch.

That's it?

Umm that new teaser video has Lumineth. A cool bro on a cloud and an armoured champ on a fury mount of some kind. New chamber of Lumineth, maybe the wind temple?

Given how badly Nurgle suffered with GW's current naming conventions, I think it could have been a lot worse.

Glutos Meal-Masher, Prime Devourer of Food!!!

The mage for sure is Wind Temple.

Remember that the Aelementari Temples are part of the Teclian side of things. We saw the Teclian Vanguard as the 'reintroduction' of the Lumineth to the Realms at large.

I'm starting to wonder if the mount might be a Vanari general of some kind rather than the mounted Wind Temple devotees, who were listed as archers on 'long-limbed steeds'.

Ah, but you assume Glutos is derived from the word glutton.

In reality, Glutos is named after Gluteus Maximus. He's a thicc boy, and Slaanesh wants everyone to know it

Seems consistent with Angron, the angry Primarch. Ferrus Manus, Primarch of the Iron Hands.

The steed appears to have a long neck, so there’s potential it’s the long limbed steeds and be like epic elf camels!

You are probably right though.

Damn this was a big disappointment for me in terms of 40K.

I was hoping to see some new Orks, Emperors Children, anything Eldar.

Absolutely nothing.

Slannesh fantasy stuff was cool though.

I don't really think of a neck as a limb.

I'm racking my brain trying to think of what could be a 'long-limbed riding beasts' and camels/dromedary style of mounts feel right...but then again the Aelementari incarnates are meant to emphasize something relating to the element in question, so maybe it's some kind of vulpine critter?

Only reason I'm walking back on the 'hero' looking bit is the lack of a bow anywhere. The Aelementari incarnate has a bow and the devotees are mentioned as having bows too.

Well looks like the AoS “Vampire Hunter” speculation from the rumor mill thread was confirmed. Looks like we are getting some new undead of some vein too. First thought that spring to mind was undead dwarves looking at that picture with beard and axe, but the mini may be a bit tall.

The vampires vs　vampire hunter box tga is speculating looks more and more likely. Maybe march

It is a bit tongue in cheek, yes.

Overall...
eh. I'd hoped for more. Not a special character and a few more glimpses

So...
Titans (one definitely chaos)
The Skitarii character again
Cow-elf cloud mage
Cow-elf camel rider
Vampire hunter with hammer
ornate shield (with manufacturing lines and nothing about the model its attached to beyond red cloak
axe-orc in a trench coat.
Diorama of decadance
