Fair enough. I missed that. Thanks.

Issa leg.

**Inquisitor Gideon**

Text usually means nothing, but possible hunk of meat hanging off a new ogor piece?

**SKR.HH**

Are minis from the old world a possibility? Because then I assume it's Wood Elves...

**lord_blackfang**

The painting is very neat, wouldn't surprise me if it was an elven mount.

**Mr_Rose**

New wild riders?
Could also be an anomalously well-groomed Beastman…

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

I’m wondering about the overall size of this. We can see brushstrokes for very fine highlighting. And that’s not something I recall GW bothering with on horsey scale 28mm?

Not saying it’s anymore than an observation, but it’s got me wondering.

**Overread**

It feels like its more deer than horse so could be woodelf, Kurnothi, beastmen or similar.

Of course it could also be a dead leg hanging from an ork or gargant - we've had things like that before. I recall some scale patter than looked 100% like Seraphon/Lizardmen that wound up being a dead scale cloth on a space marine character.

**Geifer**

AoS has cow elves. Maybe it's an elven wizard's cowmunculus.

This was my thought as well. Look horse-like, but way more detailed paint then I’d expect. I’d expect beastmen to be more shaggy, but will admit to not being that familer with their range.

Giant stag?

**Tim the Biovore**

I'm absurdly confident it's a Centigor Chieftain

**SnotlingPimpWagon**

The pose does indicate the creature either walking down, or mostly standing on hind legs, which might be hinting at a character, imho

New Centigors would be a dream come true, even though I like the originals.

But the leg does look well groomed as pointed out above.

Besides, beastmen should be right around the corner - too small of a gap between the teaser and a release, no?

**StudentOfEtherium**

i think it's something alive, at least, as opposed to being dead meat

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Yeah, if it was hung meat, the muscles wouldn’t be bunched.

**Sotahullu**

Centigors? Some are bold or foolish when making such claims.

Although it is bit weird that picture ends just slightly before we would see hooves or claws.

**Theophony**

New version of Kurnoth for Old World???

**The Phazer**

They very, very rarely do Specialist Games any more on the rumour engine, so I'd be inclined to think it's for AOS or Underworlds.

**skrulnik**

Centigor is my pick.
They've framed it to make sure we cant see the hoof/foot, or any chains & skulls hanging

**Fayric**

Come on guys, its a bull centaur.

**Lathe Biosas**

What's on the horizon that fits this?

Something elfy, I bet.

Don't give me hope where there is none

**Overread**

The last time GW did a new centaur it was for Destruction - the time before that Chaos - both great looking models but yeah poor beastmen!

I'm all for other races appearing in other armies; indeed I think its a good thing worldbuilding wise; however yeah its a shame that even the basic god of beastmen was for another army and other grand alliance (at the time when they were in AoS)

**Olthannon**

I would be surprised if it was Centigors given the paint and lack of shaggy fur. I'd guess a Wood Elf hero.

**Inquisitor Gideon**

I mean, if we're going for leg structure

**Overread**

Could be named character rider those are popular with GW!

**skeleton**

Its a great stag for the woodelves.

**Inquisitor Gideon**

When's the last time a specialist game appeared on the rumour engine anyway?

Last year?

IIRC - It was a necromunda model.

**Jadenim**

Definitely looks like some kind of deer to me.

**Dysartes**

Of course it'll be deer - it's a GW model, and they don't come cheap.
