looks like thats going to be a dual kit, the armor its wearing is CSM-ish in its shape and detailing and fits the aesthetic of previous 40k styled generic daemon princes.

CSM? How? Did I miss alt photo? Because WC picture has very little in common with CSM, square fantasy pads, chainmail, fantasy-ish axe (ok, that one arguably doesn't count), chaos warrior style limb armour, and chest plate straight from WHB/AoS. It has more in common with Varanguard horses than with any CSM model. If it is dual kit, we saw none of 40K bits yet.
Looking at the leaked photo, the new prince does not look massively bigger than the AOS Chosen standing next to him. This gives me hope that the base will stay the same.

Wut? What about that is square?
The breastplate/torso armor is clearly rounded and follows the general shaping of power armor, the shoulder pads are mostly hemispherical in shape like SM shoulder pads (heavily embellished and slightly distorted, but still), the thigh and knee armor is likewise rounded and shaped similarly in cut and trim to CSM power armor. And if your argument is that it has chainmail, well man I don't think you've looked too closely at CSM minis because many of those minis are covered in the stuff too.

Those Chosen look like they are standing on 40mm bases (same base size as the snek-ladies they are facing down). Scaling from that it looks like the DP might be on an 80mm

Im hoping it does (and the other gods as well). Would be a real missed opportunity if it doesn't

What exactly makes a daemon prince look more 40k? Not all of them are/were chaos marines, not all that were keep marine amour on.
The new DP is good and deffo an upgrade from the last but it still doesn't match the 3rd ed pair imho.
Juan Diaz took daemons seriously and knew how to make daemons look sinister and sculpted them in a way that capture the horror, that looked like they could be real, out of the imagination and not a cartoon or anime like these days. I'd have love to have seen him do the greater daemons.
Love the Engra Deathsword art homage the Lord has going on.

For me too. The guy has a hand for bizarre minions.
There are rumours of extra Cultist units but both Thousand Sons and Death Guard have rules preventing Cultist spam. So unless CSM breaks the chain it's very unlikely that there will be a way to run a Traitor Guard list using the CSM Codex.

Model wise it was part of the reliable list. Rules wise doesn't sound like it.
