If you want to play Guess the Silhouettes...

Left - Looks to be mounted. You can vaguely see a lance with a wrapped pennant around it. Blood Knight?

Centre - Ad Mech Character already teased.

Right - OBR archer? Underworlds Warband character most likely.

More images etc. on Page 7 - Ghaz is a good person and my ill health ridden excuse of a functioning organ of a body thanks him.

Ranges being covered....



House Cawdor book preview almost a given I’d say.

AoS - Soulblight?
Warhammer 40,000 - Ad-Mech, Sisters?
Underworlds - Ossiarch Bonereapers
Necromunda - Cawdor book.

Anything else likely? They've shown us everything and its dog for Lumineth already...

Name is Faith and Damnation which is a strong hint.

Never would have picked that silhouette to be a lance with a pendant on my own, but now I can't see anything else. Looks like a traditional bat wing helmet in that cluster of spikes too.

If the Wight King is a fair indicator, this is going to be a gorgeous preview.

Huh. Don't know what it is with WarCom, but sometimes it just doesn't show the new articles. Can follow direct links without a problem, but its still weird.

Glad to see we're finally getting over the Dark Eldar roadbump and moving on. Worried about the amount of detail on the 'lancer' silhouette.

Don't expect any CSM out of this, but look forward to seeing potential sisters stuff

The articles usually show up in a Facebook post first before they show up on Warhammer Community proper.

Is there any hint as to what the new Adeptus Mechanicus character is for? Would seem a bit odd if there isn't more than just the 1.

I think already it is going to be one of the weaker previews in terms of model reveals unless they go ham with vampires for AoS, I can't imagine the 40k models will be more than the characters partially revealed for admech and sisters, and the necromunda will be the alternate specialists set, and well, underworlds is not my thing anyway so...

These just don't stop coming do they? At least that's a new sexy AdMech character there

I mean, we did get what would have likely been a huge range revamp for Skitarii back with Engine War.

Finally I get my Skitarii Primus!

To be fair, Sisters already got previewed pretty heavily because they're part of the upcoming battlebox with Drukhari.

1 character to accompany codex isn't that unusual. It's bigger than that thats oddity

Why? Preorders for the Dark Eldar codex are going up the same day with just the one character. In a Versus box.

Plus, Ad Mech got a pile of stuff just last year, so another big wave would seem unlikely.

Yeah I’d assume just the single character for the Ad Mech book. And maybe sisters character with their book?
One underworlds warband. One cawdor set.
AoS could be the big one with Vamps.

Though I suppose it could be a big army revamp for 40k too. The Damnation part could be anything I guess. Vampires, Cawdor, something not listed at all.

I don't expect to see the Palatine with their book, since she's in the battlebox with Lelith.

I'm hopeful that the AdMech character is not in a battlebox. I need that Skitarii character but do not need more Skitarii.

Damnation likely is referring to the Ossiarchs and Vampires though.

Sidenote: Darkstar, are you planning on keeping the OP updated for the day? If so I would highly suggest waiting until after two sections have passed between each preview. That's when the Community page will be updated with the 'best' photos you can really get day of.

Primaris Lieutenant with bad hair day, Primaris Lieutenant with cog hat and skirt, Primaris Lieutenant with pelvis bow. Right?

Almost. You forgot the primaries Lt being rode on the left.

Sisters character is in the Versus box going up for pre-order next week.

The real question for them is when their War-stilts are coming.

AdMech Versus box next?

For 40k probably announcing the AdMech codex, then the next War zone and Sisters and Orks books.

Hopefully (what I'm assuming is)the Bonereaper archer silhouette is a herald for a new unit outside of Underworlds.

Neat stuff.

I'd go on a limb and say the silhouette on the left is for Necromunda. Some sort of Cawdor character or something. It could be soulblight but we'll see.

I'm really hoping that we see more Sisters models. If all we're getting are the controversial Paragon Warsuits, then I'll be a little disappointed. Here's hoping they lean hard on the 'Faith' part of Faith and Damnation and give us a proper extra wave of models that we can sink our teeth into.

There might be no Sisters at all, Cawdor covers Faith just fine.

No Lord of the Rings is a bit surprising considering the Easterling reveal.

Yeah, I wouldn't get hopes up. Or we would have had a Tree-Revenant archer unit by now.

I mean we did get a Slaangor unit after getting a Slaangor in Underworlds, so It's always a possibility

The neck armour type looking thing seems like the vampire style though really.
So I’d say it’s defniitely them.

Good point Blackfang, Cawdor covers faith, so yeah no sisters I’d say unless it’s just the Codex (With walker coming at same time I guess).
But generally it’d make sense for the Codex to come later after the box has been out a while so they can sell the character with it.
Unless I suppose it is like I said before and they get a character and a book

Hopefully they'll give a road map for more codexes than just the next couple, although that will probably be dependent on whether or not they can return to their previous release schedule.

Cawdor and AdMech both cover faith.

Still waiting on those Scuttlings from Silver Tower.
