The... coin of may? Is that some new thing I missed, or am I being a jerk and pointing out a typo?

GW has been doing monthly faction coins in their stores. (and B&C says May is some flavor of chaos, which tbh could just be knights)
Sometimes release schedules and a lack of outside problems match up and a new codex comes out the same month as the faction coin, so people sometimes think they're indicators of an upcoming release.

This means someone might open the floodgates soon with some luck....

Edit: actually I want to give warhammer fest their moment first, lets have the "heres 2 new minis" preview THEN drop all the pics.

Maybe relevant, new daemon prince spotted in sigmar land, it's inferred over on B&C that it'll be for both systems:

current DP and Belakor are dual kits so makes sense this would be too. Hoping for 100mm base like the character DPs

Something about this feels off. I'm calling BS on this one - it's fake.

Hmmm. Codex looks kinda thick.

A plastic Daemon Prince, hopefully with various head, accessory and weapon options. Wouldn't that be nice.

I was also thinking of getting another Daemon Prince to make my 'Your Dudes' Daemon Prince Character - former Ultramarines Excommunicate Traitoris Captain Horatio Lethus, a Khone-dedicated Tau-obsessed Daemon Prince cursed to have the Wailing Doom of Ulthwe forever bonded to his right arm. Was going to use a spare sword from the new Avatar to do it... now I might have a better base to start with than the current DP.

"Dual kits" is a little bit of a stretch, especially in Be'lakor's case.

Some of the pages just have notices with "Have you seen this Berzerker? Call 888-KHORNE to help us find where him and his buddies have gone!"

Spoiler:

Given it's got the codex + all the guff from the multiple subsequent supplements baked in that might make sense.

Alternate build it looks like at the bottom, looks more marine-y as well

From the AOS leaks, obviously important here too tho.

The reddish/black variant is apparently a disciple of be'lakor in fantasy land

Model is a bit busy, but a definite improvement over Scrawny McBland.

I would not like that, as it would force me to rebase all the princes I already have. I like the fact that a new model is coming out, but I don't want any major changes in the size.

Proper image

That's... a lot.
Warcraft Joker Hellboy Prince.

Very metal.

Strongly dislike the face, bit busy overall imo

I don't like the face a ton either, but hopefully there's gonna be more options.

I like the legs, though.

Same weapon options, according to the AoS entry. But yeah, let's hope for some extra faces and more 40k-y elements as well.

Eh, GW paintjobs aren't ever meant to be good, just enough to show all the details. It's one of the few things I don't fault them for.

I like it.

The face option is perfect for Tzeentch.

It’s very true to the artwork, or at least the art style.

Paint scheme here perhaps isn’t showing it in the best light.

This might signal a split between the 40k and AoS Daemon princes, which would be great I think.

Would've prefered them to try the Build-A-Daemon from TWWH3.

Dudeface wrote:

I agree hope there is another head option

There may be more options in the box that we haven't seen yet. I was actually thinking that a new prince model might be coming out due to Total War, and the fact that we hadn't heard about it in the 40k rumors is that it's linked to an AOS release. Turns out I was right.

I hope this is a dedicated AOS DP kit and we get a 40k one in the future. Would prefer one that lives up to the Juan Diaz DP legacy rather than a handful of plastic 40k-specific components to plonk over a daemon's frame.

I'd see no harm in that, even then the AoS could still be used if wished assuming weapons/options fit.

I don't agree with that at all. They are meant to be good, but often don't photograph well (or they have lousy photographers). Not showing off details is often a problem, especially on busy models like this one, where the black legion style black and bronze is sitting on top of layers of metal skulls, and then half the surfaces are also obscured by actual skulls.

I just hope it comes with feathered wings.
