While looking at the new cover art in the recent article, a murky bit on the left with a bunch of bare-chested hybrids made me think of a rumor engine pic from a while back - and it seems like a perfect match (there was much speculation on the icon from the rumor engine pic but the armpit/shoulder joint is decidedly GSC IMHO).

Looks like there's a centerpiece palanquin/procession thing coming for GSC in the near future, and qite possibly some other stuff (judging by some other rumor engine pics).

The only weird thing is that they would've announced it by now if it was meant to be released alongside the 'dex, so I'm guessing that it's going to be some Psychic Awakening sort of deal (still weird to put it on the cover of though.

So it's NOT a GSC Gothic Limo?

Looks like a GSC version of the Warshrine

I dunno I'd probably take a deeper look at some of the recent Warcry releases to see if anything matches that better - that icon could very easily be some stylized AOS icon. But man I hope we get more for GSC!

It's definitely murky, that I can agree with.

I'm having a lot of trouble seeing where the details match.

Definitely a dude on a throne.

Looks to me a lot like the old Nurgle Palanquin, the rider clearly has a pistol unlike Old Fatty from original GSC.

Mini diorama HQs seem to be the new hotness so yeah, good catch. Definitely possible.

Thanks for the comments guys. Here's a picture of what I think the rumors engine's showing (on a potential model equivalent of the art, ofc).

None of the hybrids on the snapshot have those symbols hanging from collars but they do have the collars themselves, and we know that GW art recently eased off on the 100% representation of models a bit.

Sorry if the original post was confusing and or messy, I'm a muppet on anything that isn't FB or Insta. Cheers.

Hrrrm yes there's obviously two (most likely four & we can't see the ones on the other side) hybrids/aberrants moving some kind of platform with a lumpy ... something on it, and the pose on the rumour pic would fit a buff hybrid carrying something heavy on their back?
Regarding what this might be, I'm not even sure if the banners to the right are attached to the platform ... guy with pistol & banner above I'd say is standing on a crag/ruin much further in the background.

Also, I still want a mini of that pompous Magus who's cosplaying as Elizabeth I on the same pic!

I dunno, I see a bunch of hybrids carrying a war altar/liter/palanquin sort of thing with a couple of guys on it and a throne.

As always we shall see...

(would totally prefer a limo though)

The similarity is ... an armpit?

No Black Panther necklace or Icon in the pic, or am I missing something?

The bottom left section of the photo could easily be the edge of the GSC cult icon. There's not enough shown to be certain, but it does fit. That detail doesn't have to be included in the artwork, especially if that was drawn before the model and used as inspiration.

I also think the "hypnotic stupor" comment alongside the image could be a clue in itself.

Not entirely convinced this pic is a GSC model, but it certainly could be.

You're right, I was confused by the carriers being proportionally huge, but they're also huge in comparison to the hybrids coming down the slope to the right. Like, three times the size. Huh.
TBH this makes me think that the rumour engine pic might much rather be the banner dude at the top, who's also half-naked and extending his right arm, instead of the super-aberrants or whatever that might be? If they're that large, the painting + details on the rumour engine pic would be a little too rough.
