Hoof



Probs Chaos.

Slender for a Chaos mount.

Might be DElves of some variety?

Ooooooh.

Centigor?

All I see is "Not a Tyranid".

Yeah. Might go together with this scale mail/cloth barding rumour engine

The Chaos Knights' horses in the StD Start Collecting box have leg armour, though, so maybe some lighter cavalry?

I dunno. Maurader horsemen wouldn't be as bulky as chaos knights. Chaos knights have similar horse shoes, but the upper part of the leg is usually armored.

Most likely not blood knights, since their horse hooves are usually carved to resemble the bat grooves of their armor

Blood Knights to expand on the Vampires from Underworld and Cursed city

Definitely looks like a chaos ' horseshoe'. That rim with spikes is on several models, including juggers.

Or could be a hoof from those not-Wood Elf AoS people.

I can't see wood elf deer folk with heavy iron horseshoes.

Plus the leg seems to thick and heavy for their 'centaurs,' and articulated wrong for the bipeds.

Now, proper plastic centigors on the other hoof....

I thought centigors didn't have hooves, but paws. Between them and Gorhoof, I know one had hooves and the other had paws, despite being both centigor

Centigors don’t wear shoes.

Kurnothi probably don’t either.

Horses only need shoes when working for people outside their normal environment (under heavy loads, on paved roads etc.) so this is probably someone’s warhorse.

I’m going to take a wild flyer of a guess and say Imperial Guard Rough Rider.

The 'current' models have claws, true. But like minotaurs with hooves & just plain feet, it's not something GW is terribly consistent about.

Plus I'd love for them to replace the centigors with plastic and leave the marauder horsemen alone, as they're fine sculpts.

Another alternative: a Warcry cavalry champion? A one off model to go with a splatbook.

Main reason I’m thinking Chaos is the visible scar on the limb.

They’re the only horse riding faction I can think of right now that wouldn’t properly tend their steeds - what with them being at least partly Chaos Powered.

I thought they use dinosaurs for mounts?

I just can't see AoS going into 'less weird' direction with something that already wasn't low fantasy to begin with...

They also have traditional horses(Dark Riders, Doomfire Warlocks, Scourgerunner Chariots)

New multipart chaos knight kit, or new marauder horseman kit.

The shoe and scar definitely make me think Chaos, but it’s not really a lot to go on.

Could be a plastic Nazgul?

Some Chaos centaurs, some human tribesmen warshipping Gorkamorka, some Sylvaneth wild riders?

Honestly, if they wanted Sylvaneth Wild Riders they should just give them Wild Riders and Sisters of the Thorn.

Wild Riders, back in the day, were counted as Forest Spirits...and that was just when they rode horses! The steeds that both versions have are, per the Old World lore, mystical spirit-beasts ala Pegasi in the Greek myths.

Truthfully, that'd be infuriating, as those are some of the more recent (and best) chaos kits, and there is a lot that still isn't even in plastic. And true horrors like the foot marauders.

Could be some Chaos (Marauder?) character? They mentioned during the Twitch preview that the new ghost and Sigmarine were the first of a range of new characters for different factions to be released over the coming months. I guess they could redo the mounted Marauders or the chariot just like they did the Warriors and Knights, but it seems unnecessary.

Mounted Darkoath Warqueen is defo possible.

Personal hope is a mounted Vampire on a Nightmare.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Those could be flames on the backside of the leg.

That's a standard GW beast-hair tuft.

If its fire, it has a curious taste for obeying the law of gravity and not burning in any way like a flame.

Yeah, I don't think it's fire--but the Nightmares did use to have fur/hair.

It wouldnt surprise me if Belakor came with other chaos goodies, though I have to say I'm fine with the marauder horsemen as is, for they have some of my favorite helmeted heads in the entire GW system of ranges. I'll be very sad to see it go.

I was rather hopeful it would be the foot marauders who would get a refresh as darkoath first. (And indeed, I kind of cant believe it hasn't happened yet, and isn't guaranteed to happen any time soon.)

Would a Nightmare have scars tho?
