Slaan/Skink I reckon?

Yeah, this has to be a Skink. Could be an attendant on the Slaan's big frog chair, as we've seen for Kroak and other Slaan models.

On the mace; FEC retainer? It’s that combination of well-made but corroded metal with barely-held-together soft bits that the undead love. About time they got some models to fit their outlook.

On the incense burner; the arm could be a skink buuut they just don’t seem to be incense types? So I’m going to with the slaanesh theme but take a wild leap and say it’s part of a new Blood Bowl team.

No idea, but I like it.

Bottom of another floating IronKyn for LoV?

It gives me Necromundan vibes... Either some Spire hunters thing or some kind of Vox/announcement system for preachers,zealots or some Guild.

Same. Looks imperial, but no clue beyond that. It has danger stripes like that one missile-launcher thing from way back, but does not seem to be from the same kit. It guess it'll be some sort of weird accessoir for an actual unit. Could also be the underside of a floaty platform or something like that for Necromunda.

I dunno what it is, but i'm pretty sure I want it.

It looks like some sort of floating loudspeaker array. Not going to be at all surprised if there's some manner of vid-screen on the other side.
Akin to the floating screen drones the Enclave use in Fallout 3 (or is it New Vegas? I forget now, it's been ages since I played them).

The cover on the lamp/searchlight looks very much like the one on the Hernkyn trike:

That's another good guess, the same style of lamp cover is used on the Goliath mining truck, the Atalan quad and the Ridgerunner. As well as the Hekaton Land Fortress and the Sagitaur. It seems that's their go-to visual shorthand for industrial equipment.

It's their visual shorthand for STC stuff.

Anyways, going with scenery for Soulshackle. It has the look of something you might see on a prison ship or in a prison--and it appears to feature a camera in the vein of the piece from Shadowvaults on the side we're not seeing of it.
For the record, the Shadowvaults' pieces are on this frame:


The two cameras are the two matched parts second from the bottom of the frame.

It has hazard stripes, therefore it's Necromunda. It floats, therefore it's Van Saar. Who is one of the two houses missing their ash waste vehicle? Exactly.

Logic therefore dictates that it is in fact... *dramatic drum roll*... a mechanical balloon Squig!

With a rocket launcher system!

Almost two years old, still unsolved. And also not entirely un-squat-like. And with danger stripes.

Yea Votann or 'Munda. Maybe a propaganda/camera drone like the ones on Fallout 3. Enforcer remote?

Ooooh hol up, Arbites is also on the menu.

Maybe something for the enforcers, some riot control device?

Not necessarily 'or', could be 'and'. Necromunda squats exist in several varieties

Looks like the sort of thing that would stick out the top of an Adeptus Arbites Rhino.

Im thinking GSC, with the striped cable.
But some crowd control device for abitres would also be very plausible.

Just hope its topped with Nixons head in a glass cannister.

Hmm it's a cheeky one. At first glance I would have said it wasn't Votann, but the casing at the top of the image looks so much like the Hernkyn bikes.

Genestealer Hybrid of some kind?

Something Vampiric I reckon

I guess it's for one of the Bloodhunter dudes due for preview on Thursday/Friday.

Look too refined for a greenskin, but still on the rough and savage side. GSC is a good guess with the claws.

We have some clawy hands in the engine, as well as some undead-ish general decor, and one of the upcoming WarCry bands is most likely Vampires, maybe that will solve a lot of them at once.

FEC bodyguard dudes, I reckon. It’s of decent manufacture with a definite aesthetic but it’s also old, worn and damaged through lack of care. So FEC - all their stuff always looks pristine to their eyes so why polish/clean/repair it?

Makes me think Eshin

Either for the upcoming Warcry box or KT or maybe some bestial Malerion aelves?

Don't think it's GSC. No wrist-blades in the range, and it doesn't match the shape of the Magus or Sanctus' bio-daggers.

"We’re noticing a drawback with our new sponsorship program. We’re obliged to pass on their message no matter how… well… you’ll see.

Today’s sponsor is the Respectable Salvager’s Nocturnal Consortium, who assure us that they are certainly not a secret society of Hrud, and wish to encourage all spacefarers to dispose of junk, broken machinery, and expired foodstuffs by leaving them scattered around their voidcraft near any unsecured vents."

Warhammer meme reddit has a field day with all that stuff, they're memeing themselves into believing that AoO book 5 is a bait-and-switch and will introduce the Hrud as 'Space Skaven' instead of the Lion ''I want to believe'' on warp-crack

For the record, i'm all for the Hrud, but Space Skaven is a bit unimaginative, weird Morlock-like beings that come from the future and go backwards through time are a more interesting take on them than ratmen-men.

Once upon a time, someone at the studio did up some old metal skaven (~3rd edition fantasy models- I still have the models used as the starting point) with RT-era guard lasguns, A few people decided that meant GW had planned to do Space Skaven. When hrud illustrations first appeared (mysterious cloaked figures) someone did 1+2 =5 and an early internet meme of skaven=hrud was born.

For whatever fething reason, that's stuck hard in some people's heads.
