Well, the gun looked more like an ectoplama cannon from a forgefiend. Oh well. I guess it could equally come from either a forgefiend or a chaos knight.

I could see that happening. Some wings and extra bitz to build either of the two models wouldn't be anything special (Hive Tyrant have everything to do both variant + Swarmlord already), and we saw the tails end in a previous Rumour Engine pic that match the Red Terror perfectly. No way Tyranids are getting two models so a dual kit is much more likely
Fantasy armies - Retired (Tomb Kings, Vampires, Empire, Chaos Warriors/Daemons, Dark Elves)
Tyranids army - Ever evolving, but about 10k pts
Custodes - 3,500pts (Fully painted yay!)
Thousand Sons - 4,000 pts
Eldar - 3,000pts

He'll either be GD sized and priced higher, or Be'lakor sized and priced like a GD.
If the rumours were true, then he'll just have a sword. I was hoping they'd use the big plastic kit to give him some different weapon options like they did with the GDs. A big spear and a sword would be nice.

Surprised that some think that whip girl is a drukhari. It seems to me that it's obviously a dok, but hey, what.do i know.
I have to hold my hand up to thinking it was a Drukhari Wych, simply because they seem to be less scantily clad( actually wearing a pair of pants for a change! ) and holding similar knives. But yes, the whip puts the Daughters' stamp on it and Drukhari seem done for another edition.
What if the new Tyranid creature glimpsed at in the preview is nothing more than a corpse for the new Avatar to rest a foot on, on their base? GW may have moved on from random dead Space Marines for people/things to stand triumphantly over.
The objective of the game is to win. The point of the game is to have fun. The two should never be confused.

GW:"Space marines got too many options to balance, therefore we decided to legends HH units." Players: "why?!? Now we finally got decent plastic kits and you cut them?" Chaos marines players: "Since when are Daemonengines 30k models and why do i have NO droppods now?" GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!" Chaos players: Guess i stop playing or go to HH.

This one looks Admechy to me, the fabrics plus that blue cable/hose reminds me of the Serberys rider aesthetic. Also looks quite like Gideon Lorr though.
Has anyone talked about this being part of the Squat update? There are a some rumors about them coming out this year.

Sorry but has 0 squat proportions.
Could be:
- chaos cultist
-genestealer cult
-astra militarum psychic

Yeah, my dream kit = dual Raveners/Shrikes box that allows also to build Parasite of Mortrex/Red Terror.
Why do people keep asking for a Ravener kit when it already exists? I dont get it.
It can look kinda fugly on GW's website if you look at the first, rather unflattering promo picture, as it emphesizes just how thick it's claws are viewed head-on, and how goofy the face can look, not to mention the paintjob itself is vaguely dated.

What is wrong with peoples brains that they think every rumour pic is GSC? We've literally just had a new GSC character. Do they believe that range is going to rival the SM in size/scope? It's even weirder when the almost certainly correct rumours say there's a bunch of Traitor Guard releases on the horizon.

Because, at present, if there's a slightly off looking human in grubby battered gear, they've all been GSC. Then again everyone kept thinking the advent reveal would be emperors children for some reason.

With GW being "design led" its not out of the question that someone in the design team loves GSC to the point where they put a LOT more work into them than other armies etc... Such things can also explain why sometimes armies get ignored too - eg Tyranids haven't had anything new in a very long time and yet there's been several replacement models easily up for being put into plastic without bloating their range and several major campaign events where most armies did get a new toy of some kind during the release.
Sometimes GW moves in mysterious and baffling ways.

I don't think so either, it would be the first cult miniature (not mutant) without the mining cap.
For something imperial I see him very poor.
and for being a chaos cultist, he doesnt look like blackstone, which the reliable source of rumors said were of that aesthetic.

The rumour said we'd get blackstone style cultists AND traitor guard. Mutants and possessed humans too.

Could it be a scavvy gang equivalent for necromunda? Not very tattered I know, but they did say it would be slightly different directon

Tyranids in general are very chunky models compared to a lot of modern sculpts. It's one thing I think could happen with a remake of them is less of a design change and more of a diet thinning them all down some.

Yeah, Gaunts of all kinds could be made smaller to fit their fluff decription better.
