The array of slightly different lightning bolts is the only thing that makes me wonder. Could be a warband of Blood Axe style orruks or hobgoblins?

Feels like a corrupted Stormcast in a way. Like a chaos marine almost.

Not going to be chaos though because the edition launch box has to have some version of proper stormcast.

fyreslayers are unpopular because they have two units (10 dwarves and 5 dwarves). the recent warcry warband was really well received, so i have no doubts that if they got a fuller range, people would flock to it (a unit of dwarves riding mid-sized magmadroths, in particular. that should exist)

Fyreslayers AKA you cannot have too many heroes

I thought about that too when I saw the silhouette. Yes, the old models had lightnings in their design. But could be a Hobgrot shaman as well.

I too thought of Chaos Dwarfs, but the arm you see looks way to slender for a dwarf. And good riddance, that silhouette looks like a terrible model to be honest.

just what fyreslayers need! a new character!

Nobody likes or a plays Fyreslayers. They should be retired as a faction.

Straight to the book with you.

Around 6 hours to go.

I’m not sure that last pic is a Stormcast. The arms are much too skinny, and the lightning bolts too irregular.

Could be something Undead? Perhaps for War Cry or Underworlds.

I think it’s CoS, not undead. Too many sigmary looking bits

Volkmar the Grim

I'd lean more towards Warcry as a new set of themed guys with the chains and bodged lightning - another mad cult to add to the cult of the wheel, perhaps even the Ayzr obsessed Shrine to the Last Day's Warning.
Hang on, are the chains and pointy up metal bits to attract and then ground themselves against Lightning?

I think the Necrodog is more likely to have a home in Underworlds (the place for pets) given that we're expecting the edition launch preview.

Warcry seems to get the larger new stuff along a theme treatment whilst Underworld's tends to flesh out an existing one in a more unusual way kind of thing.

I'm not really invested in this one since Heresy is only slated to get a teaser, probably of something we already know is coming, but I'll probably still end up watching.

It has blatantly obvious Sigmar's comet pendant in hand (and looks like overhead thing has it too). Unless it's a trophy or like, it's something Sigmarite, probably CoS...

How? The old world is set 500 years before he was born and he already had a plastic model that likely will come back since it’s with the war altar

Plus TOW reveals likely dwarfs

That's not TOW, it's AoS.

Also, you must be new to GW.

No one is ever *really* dead.

I hate Jar Jar Abrams SW movies because they're legit duds, but I will die on my hill defending TLJ as the on sequel with some merit.

Besides, it wouldn't be the first time Volkmar's been brought back to life - Be'lakor did it in the run-up to the Storm of Chaos campaign. But then Storm of Chaos got ret-conned, and then... Y'know, this is about as bad as a comic book.

30~ minutes to go!

Wanna play bingo?

I'm gonna say Chaos Dwarf. Something about it just strikes me as being evil Dawi.



Also - T-minus 10 minutes and counting.

Immortality is a curse. (Crawling in my skin)

WE LIVE! (or unlive, if you happen to be a zombie or whampire)

Chaos Lord, Chaos Lord with Jump Pack.

No new Chaos Termies nor Chaos Raptors.

Why would there be new Terminators? The current ones are only 5 years old. Sure they aren't scaled to the new SM Terminators but that doesn't mean they aren't pretty new

How old is current Lord?

Bees versus bone beasts look frail as heck. Bonetaur looks fun.

Better pictures for Chaos:

love the ossiarchs. the army as it exists feels split in different ways, and none of them are properly served well (sorta bone horrors, sorta roman skeleton legions) and this pushes it in one direction a lot better

sylvaneth are neat but not super distinct within the army imo

They gonna release Battleforces with each Codex, now they? But two?

CL on Jump Pack with Warp Talons has kitty paws, can't unsee.

So it was Underworlds CoS.

Did anyone have twisted necromancer guy for the silhouette?

I sure as gak didn't.

FEC vs Cities

Seem more like Bloodborne-esque Sigmarites, not necromancers.
