Yes but not until we're less than 12 months away from a new edition

We are getting a reveal on 7/18 on the preview show. Looked like he was wearing a tomb king hat in the video? Wonder what that means?

And a cowboy hat and a top hat and a jester cap and a pirate hat and a road cone!

If it's Tomb Kings (if the hats really represent a faction of some sort and that one was for TK), it could be some refresh to the old models. Skeletons are one that need it the most since they are based on the gothic/VC Skeletons of 5th edition with an upgrade sprue tacked on (on top of being a generally bad kit). Just a decent, dedicated TK-flavored infantry kit (or two, they could split melee and range Skeletons to have better models) would be a great place to push the army into a better place, model-wise.

Horsemen and Chariots are old but still perfectly serviceable in the Old World environment of supporting the older model range, but they could also receive a refresh to match if the announcement is chunky enough.

Surely this is too easy to be chorfs, maybe a double mislead?

Pirate hat- Dark Elves or Vampire coast?

I hope Vampire Coast, but I also vaguely remember people here talking about sky pirate goblins being a lore thing in AOS, so they could always be finally doing them. Which...to be fair, would be really cool.

I'd rather see hobgoblins than AoS.

If they actually had the brains to do crossover minis for their games Vampire pirates are in both lore - Vampire Coast seems a good bet as it has a fully fleshed out range via TW building on the original aritcles as well as stuff in the C7 WFRP4th ed. It would also have plenty of dramatic minis and centerpiece models for OW

There are green skin sky pirates and skaven as well I think in AOS

Dark Elves or Eldar imo. We've just had Cathay and looks as though it'd be a good bet for Chaos Dwarves for AoS. New model ranges are sorted for time being. High Elves and (even) Wood Elves are now present in Old World. Dark Elves have an impressive, complete array of plastic kits that would easily slot back into the game.

Dark Eldar are due a release so pirate hat could be a reference to either.

Happy to be wrong and get Vampire Coast though, win, win for me!
