OK, what sort of Ranger is this from?

It's the headdress for a Ranger characters' pet squig

Looks similar to the old Autarch helmet.

But can belong to a Dire Avengers Exarch/Hierarch/Phoenix Lord, too.

Autarch’s skidlid I reckon.

Dire Avenger Exarch?

Guessing Autarch who will be wielding weapon shown yesterday

Lumineth jumped from aos to 40k

Autarch helmet, seems to be based on this model:

Perhaps the text in addition to the image might help with clues.

Yesterday was "sink your teeth into" - warp spiders.

Today is "You join us for yet more words of prophecy and dire warning from the Advent Engine."

Looks like the back of a helmet, maybe Dire Avengery..

The border around the image is definitely starting to look mankier. So looks like chaos is also on the horizon.

I wonder if they're going to switch to Chaos rumour pics halfway through the month, and the whole advent engine is all pics of things in the rumoured boxed set:

Eldar side gets the new Rangers, Ranger jetbikes, and the new Autarch with Fusion Gun.

Chaos get Warpsmith & Chosen

I am like 99.99% sure it's the new autarch rumoured

One named Tyrion.

But yeah, new Autarch head.

Yep, definitely an Autarch. Which coincides with the rumour like everyone else is saying. Somewhat surprised personally given that there's a plastic Autarch already but I guess they want one on foot so he can go into transports without taking up extra space.

Multiple plastic autarchs should be a thing to cover alternate load outs like sm captains. Better would be a kit that includes multiple options, but hey.

I think GW forgot how to design models with multiple options.

Autarch, holding underslung fusion gun from yesterday.

More like Death Spinner, but indeed, today's rumour may actually not be good for us at all. In the worst case scenario all those rumours may amount to just three kits - Ranger Bikes, Rangers and Autarch, plus a codex. If what some folks are reading from the frame change is true - that it will switch to chaos soon, then it could be just another token release like Blood of the Phoenix was.

It wasn't a fusion gun. It was a death spinner.

Actually, yesterdays blurb about sinking teeth into sounds more like scorpion than spider (autarch weapon names). Maybe a scorpion autarch/karandras getting new weapon?

I understand the shift to chaos being discussed (also more than happy with that) but that would just leave it 40k centric, so I can't help but wonder if it'll shift to shadow elves maybe?

Except scorpions have a tail that sinks into things. Spiders have fangs in their mouth, a much closer analogue to teeth.

Scorpions have mandiblasters and a weapon called the scorpians bite chainsword. They also happen to fight melee. That said it could go either way.

The unit does, but the creature they're named after doesn't.

Also it clearly wasn't a melee weapon or a pistol.

Scorpion exarch weapon is called Biting Blade and Karandras ability is Scorpion's bite .

Sooooo

A web spinner also isn't biting either..

Not saying it is, but might see a new weapon for scorp Exarch.

Scorpions stings are often referred to as bites FYI.

Dont dragons have fangs too ? Fire Dragons.....

Don't dark reapers have lots of little teeth on their helms?


Don't all the eldar have teeth come to think of it? Perhaps it's a standard phrase they chose to use?

No, Eldar have pedipalps.

No I don’t really know what pedipalps really are. I’m just claiming Eldar have them.

I would assume most Eldar have teeth, what else should we expect from the extravagant filth? Good Imperial citizens don't need teeth to eat their nutrient paste.

Did….did I stutter?

Pedipalps.

Zebras have stripes, so that backpack with a hose and camo is the new Aeldari shrine to the Aeldari Pretty Zebra "Friendship is Psychic" centaurs.
