Sure...

Spoiler:

Touche, I stand corrected.

I'm guessing an anniversary or similar limited release, based on the 3rd edition PA Marine Captain with SB/sword.

Death Korps.

We actually had that awhile back. It was a webstore exclusive thing.

That seems to have a curve to the main surface?

Or my eyes are on the wonk. And to be fair, I’ve just about finished my first post-work Friday beer.

Also, I’m enjoying this Rumour Advent more than the more focussed ones of years past.

I like variety, and I like to be kept guessing. Makes it a bit more fun to my mind.

Some sort of flag?

Could be, but not completely convinced. The damage isn’t quite what I’d expect on “cloth”.

That was my thought as well at fist glance. The shape is right, pattern looks good. But it’s got both little nicks of battledamage as well as holes blown through. I would not think a thin flag would have the thickness to just have the shallow dings.

But still, getting banner vibes.

It's an AM standard, has the same diagonal cross background as a lot of existing standards including the new Cadian Command Squad. Being a bit beaten it's possibly from DKoK.

The skull's from the DKoK transfer sheet.

I'm going with some sort of Yarrick diorama-style model, like the Triumph of St. Katherine and the Grail Pilgrims unit from the Brets. Not sure if Yarrick will be enshrined or dreadnoughted, though.

From the size of the bullet holes (and the decal), I'd guess the scratches are supposed to be cuts and tears that couldn't be cast as actual gaps, which is why they look a bit off for the material

Nice, finally getting a DKoK Command Squad, it looks like.

Yeah it’s probably a banner but I’m gonna hope for barded Death Riders anyway.

A flag! Ofcourse.
I was going crazy trying to figure out why they would make a beat up TIE fighter.

Why not both? Death Rider command squad.

The stormbolter is for sure going to be Belial. There is a rumored army box of Deathwing with him, 5 knights, 10 terminators and the new DA codex.

Except his storm bolter has DA logo with sword, and I just can't see first captain of the most ostentatious chapter (seriously, even EC only have like 1/10 of bling of these clowns) using generic Imperialis instead now when the new Deathwing are festooned with them too...

Potion!

Spooks!

That’s someone pouring out some souls they had bottled up for a special occasion.

Definitely goes with the nurgle book

Interesting one that! Very long and spindly arm, some sorta necromancer type or Licky Priest maybe?

Thats what they want you to think, but the Nurgle book hand has four fingers and dark clawlike nails, while this potion hand has five fingers and appear to lack nails.

There's really no other option than Nighthaunt or Soulblight, is there?

Or a random new Warcry faction of course.

A very skinny goblin?

Or Hobgoblin shaman?

Kurnothi? Goat cavalry for Halflings in AoS?

Kuornothi seems a good guess.

I can say why, but the pose makes me think “Centaur”. Now, that could be Centigor. Lawks knows they need a refresh.

I ruled out centigors as it's too clean. No spikes or crummy leather wraps.
