i thought that churchy bit was from the jump pack canoness

Yeah I think you’re right.

However, I think the gap on the opposite side does not match up. it's above the level of the circled piece on Coteaz and far below it on the RE.

Feathered Cloak. Could be anything!

Raven Guard aka Corax Returned

Age of Sigmar.

Stormcast or Cities, tied to Morrda.

Is it just me, or does the shape of the cloak suggest a bat type wing?

I don’t think it is a wing, as we’re not seeing tips or veins or that. But cloth fashioned to resemble one.

I see what you mean, the folds are too sharp to be loose cloth billowing in the wind, but at the same time there's also no visible structure holding them (as fingers on bat wings would).

yeah, i think this is for AOS. probably something for order or death, if i had to guess

Could be something Tzeentch. Feathers are part of that aesthetic, and the unseen part of the cloak could be morphing into a proper wing?

Feathers are also part of the aesthetic for the Dark Riders from Cities of Sigmar's Shadowblades. Furred mantles aren't part of Tzeentch's aesthetic though...and the feathers are coming out from under a furred mantle.
While not represented on the models, because there aren't any City specific models, raven feathers are also supposed to be a big part of the Lethisian motif.

and the unseen part of the cloak could be morphing into a proper wing?

Honestly, the design just looks like a shorter cloak. It just appears to be a dagged cloak, but I'm not seeing bat.

The top of the thing looks like fur

So maybe some monster hunter layering bat skin, feather and fur for his drip swag

That would be a dream come true for me. Hunter and Hunted implies that the Wildercorps has cadres specialized to each Realm...a Shyishian corps would be awesome to see.

Yeah looks like feathers at the bottom then fur above.

Who knows?

I'm going to go with Corax, too. It's not going to be, because GW won't make enough money from him, but the irregular, wavy shape of the edge of the cloak to me is reminiscent of the Shadowstalkers shadow-constructed cloaks, hinting at warp magic rather than simple fabric. Add to that the dark (black?) feathers that look distinctly corvine...

My more realistic guess is it's probably an AoS chaos or similar (related to Krethusa, maybe - If you look at her wings, the tops also look somewhat like fur) figure.

Really wish it was Corax, though...

Would be cool if the dark riders were updated, I hadnt noticed they had feathered cloaks.

First thought was they update the cockatrice, but its probably a cloak, despite the deliberate membranes.

If they hadn't removed Servitors from the Adeptus Mechanicus book, I would have suspected that.

Something Kill Team-y maybe?

Yep. Ravens were a big deal for the Naggarythe. It was tied to Morai-Heg, the Crone, who Krethusa is tied to in AoS.

Interesting.

Looks like part of the hand/claw has been clipped out?

Yep. The "projector" had the same.

Kin?

Pretty sure its Leagues of Votann. Very similar to the hands on the COG Robots.

Yeah, that's a Votann Kin arm right?

Explorators team for KT/40k?

Do we need another LoV kill team? We have two already

It's possible that it's just for a LoV unit. They haven't gotten their codex yet after all.


Explorators for KT would be great...but AdMech got their codex, so I highly doubt it.

maybe this and the other stuff will finally be for a bespoke admech kill team, so that they have another option besides the white dwarf team

Yeah looks Votann- eCoG hand. Maybe support crew for a weapons platform? Doubt it will be for a Killteam so maybe the LoV Codex isn't massively far away.

oh, that would be really cool. votann certainly need more heavy support-type options

Something worth mentioning:

There are several Mechanicus models with bionic hands featuring 3 fingers and a thumb, rather than the full 4 fingers and thumb, which are actually fairly similar to the Brokyr Forgemaster's eCogs.
Immediately identifable ones are the Technoarcheologist, Datasmith, the recent Sydonian Stiltman, and the Sicarian Infiltrators.

This isn't to say "NOPE! NOT VOTANN!". Just that there's a shared visual language on a specific set of bionics between the midtier Techpriests, Sicarians, and the Votann's eCogs.

The difference seems to be a single finger.

it could be that this mechanical stuff is for two different units. one admech kill team, and one votann thing
