Seems the full article is gone though :(

Correct. And the article had the dog as the officer, same as many military & paramilitary setups today where the dog outranks the handler.

Would be a good add as a kind of "anti-infiltration" unit.

anyway, huh interesting. wonder how they would do that in a way to make it different from Arbites dogs

Choosing a breed that isn't butt ugly is a good start.

There is always room for more doggos. I like the recon anti-infiltrator suggestion.

Maybe the Guard could have future German shepherds, somewhat distinct from Arbitrs mastiffs and the Rogue Trader dobermann.

A litter of puppies from Creed's beloved pet Cadian Bulldog.

I reckons Necromunda as well, maybe something to do with the Hive Secundus malarkey.

Something Nurgle, as I’m pretty sure that’s a stylised Fly on the shield/barding.

Snarlfangs have similar straps/barding although they aren’t spit down the middle and have 2 flaps rather than 3 might be a chariot or mounted hero?

New Demigryph Knights or a Wildercorps hero with a big dang dog.

Looks like some barding.

The icon is halfway between a bell and a fly so yea, how can it be anything but Nurgle? Or maybe a tiiiny chance of Skaven?

It looks too well-maintained to be Nurgle, and the 'bells' are in fours rather than threes.

It could still be Nurgle, of course. Just...feels off?

that's definitely nurgle, and the patch of flesh next to the icon gives me the impression of something on four legs, so i'm going to guess some kind of cavalry unit

So erm…plastic Fulgrim?

Yeah, I agree with you. That looks almost identical to the Snarlfang armor.

Huh. Well, case closed.

With the caveat the new snarlfang might have some twist to it as it looks more beat up.

If it's a hero, I'm in trouble.

That’s a bloody good spot.

Hobgobla Khan rides again?

What it it's a whole Spearhead?

But to be less wild, could be Warcry gang, they can be more beat up and it is about time for a new one.

I'd be in less trouble, but more trouble at the same time?

A simple addition of a hero and a set of archers to go with the existing ones would be an interesting way to beef them up.

It would be weird to be a Warcry warband since they already have a unit out?

Like FEC got a random Warcry hunting party they didn't need for either game. Just a minor thought. Probably it's a hero, so let's just hope it's not the only Gitz release for the next 3 years.

FEC didn't need the hunting party, but it wasn't a 1:1 copy for an existing unit.

That's all I meant.

Oh man, that would be my dream. I want more Gitmob so much.

So…a staff, a book and I think a cloak, maybe a curtain?

Probably AoS?

Welp, looks like more Devoted of Sigmar.

TOW Empire?

Some reptile.

Only if it's a snaketopus. Otherwise it's just a straight up cephalopod.

IMO it looks like a tail.

Defo a tail I reckon.

Of course it does. They're trying to trick you.
