In that last one, he has primaris style heavy bolt pistol (unless GW retconned these out of game while I wasn't looking) next to his leg. So, yeah, while this axe doesn't really feel votann I'd still bet on this being 40K WD as he typically has a lot of retro WFB aesthetic on his arms and armor...

The rectangular gem is an interresting feature you dont see alot. The Dwarf blood bowl team have lots of gems like that.

Yeah I’m getting a lot of old Dwarf aesthetic from that axe.
We’ve already seen the Dwarf dice for ToW, so a random axe for a new character would seem appropriate.

Well that could be any number of ranges.

Doesn’t look to be the dark tongue though, so probs not Chaos?

my first thought was a new asteroth, since BA are coming up soon, but the same rumors also say it's DC focused, so probably not him. don't see it being something SM otherwise. probably AOS; probably a wizard? not really sure

It's words! Burn it. Burn the witch.

Sigmarite priest?

New GW price list in €

Or Flagellants in general...

When they talked about designing the Cities of Sigmar range, it was mentioned that the Grand Pontifex of the Wheel and her attendants was the "touchstone" for what they wanted to do with the Devoted of Sigmar, and it was implying that they had more just waiting to go.

Nearly scrolled past that one. My attention span is paper-thin today.

Looks pretty thick to me

It's a load bearing scroll.

Could be a new Sanguinor.

You are probably spot on with the guess, as he is very associated with the BA Death Company!


From the webstore page.

"Astorath the Grim is the Blood Angels' High Chaplain and Redeemer of the Lost. He is a true Angel of Death, a legend of destruction who fights like a man possessed and brings with him the twin gifts of death and redemption. To confront Astorath is to come face-to-face with inevitable doom, if not by his axe, then by the hands of the Death Company army behind him."

If not Astorath then The Sanguinor as he also has scrolls holding him aloft in the air........Ninjad lol

I do love when they highlight a feature that feels like a flaw to me.

I can never unsee paper and cloaks with the thickness and heft of rock slabs.

Not really, that would be Lemartes. Astorath the Grim is the BA head Chaplain and as such, is responsible for the whole chapter, not just DC. Lemartes is the dude permanently attached to DC and acts as their leader, Astorath just hangs around and kills unruly members from time to time.

To be fair, if you want to jump pack around a high intensity battlefield with expolding sixes and whatnot, the paper need to be pretty sturdy.

It's the Big E.

Bonus Middle Earth tease.

Well holy expletive. A shock and a pleasant one. Now to descern what we can from the barding. Three stars..numenor?

Yeah, this might be Last Alliance Numenorean cavalry. I imagine Nimloth wouldn't look great at that size.

Sword. Or a sandbag?

Keep taking shots, Pieguy.

Looks like we have another Vampire on the way?

It does remind me of the classic vampire.

Given the angle of the sword compared to the blood it could be held up high. Which wild speculation would lead me to say new Konrad sculpt? The old one had him dripping blood into his mouth off his sword. Could be a recreation of that.

More likely I think it'd just be a standard vamp with bloody sword.

Would be nice to get a vampire on horse to go with the Blood Knights.

Hmm true. Got plenty of foot vamps, but distinctly lacking a good mounted Vamp Lord.

Don't chaos warriors usually have blade notches like that?

Sanguinary something?
